don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

I've now started to look behind on my zippys now to check if someone is hitching. I also follow enemy snipers around, knifing them when they use the zippy, free ride down :)

because he will pick it back up meaning you crash .

Like 90% of the time when a teammate trows a hook or sets a zipline, he uses it, you want to use it to and when you are at the middle he takes it away and offcourse you fall off.


PLEASE PEOPLE, IF YOU DEPLOY A ZIP OR HOOK, WATCH YOUR BACK TO LOOK IF THERE IS A TEAMMATE ON BEFORE YOU PICK IT BACK UP!!!!!!!

While it pays to be cautious and aware, refusing to use another person's equipment (be it a grappling hook or zipline) isn't a great strategy either. In a squad (the context in which either of these tools is to be used) there must be a constant vigilence for the well being of your squadmates. There must be trust; trust that they won't take their grappling hook out from under your and trust that you won't shoot them in the back.

I would suggest that squad leaders pick a kit that contains one of these tools; my reasoning being that the squad leader generally has a larger picture and awareness of his surroundings and his squad than the average squad member. Of course, you should always use the right tool for the right job so having both tools in a single squad is great.

It seems that players using the kits containing these tools have a greater responsibility to their teamates than those without.

I was beeing sarcastic in the topictitle, my point is to look behind before taking the hook or zip back into your pocket

lol funny post but how do you pick it up? I mean i m no noob, 15 years with games for christ's sakes, but i can't pick the darn thing up. I press e, other keyboard buttons, i try it with different angles, it just disappears and i then i have to stand by the supply crate and wait for a reload.

Its the same standard key as picking up anything G !!!

[rombaft]

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

indeed, it's "G" .

And it goes very well, when climbing up a building just when you have reached the top and your feet are on the roof or whatever just push "G" and your grapple hook is back in your pocket and you can use the thing over and over again, very good for climbing in stages and stuff.

Same thing for zipline

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

Understood. Just trying to keep people from becoming too paranoid. Otherwise we'd probably have nothing but anti-tanks, special forces, snipers, and assault running around in SF. Nobody would trust anyone or their equipment (worst case scenario, of course).

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

I go out of my way to check and see if any team mates are on my lines before picking them back up. I also noticed that while working with a squad that the person setting the lines up waits as well, but if you are just jumping on a line not knowing if the other person saw you or not then you are asking for trouble.

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

I personally have never done to anyone before (besides mmy firends :) so funny to listen to their reaction on ts "what the hell happened?" lol) but most of the time i try to get teamates to follow me up ( usually they never do) ive had many times when i see allies near a wall just staring at it(duh...) and i will throw it up and help them and they say thanks and everything. Thats how i wish it all was.(people cooperate as a team, thank you for helping them etc etc) but i got my bnasic grappling hook in my first round because i had a squad of teamplayers and we were scaling roofs. so dam fun. we also used it to make it across jumps( you throw up teh grapple so it gets the roof, than you just jump anywhere one the rope and youll grab on. so even if you fall lower than the roof there is still the rope way down below.) very cool and fun stuff.

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

Maybe its just me, but I find that most of the time I deploy a zipline, the implanted rod pushes me right off the building....

stand back from the edge before setting up the zipline because it does push you forward about a foot. If you stand back a bit you won't fall.:)

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

Here is another reason
Last nite I was on Ghost Town, I shot my Zip Line off the Hotel in te center to the CP on the upper left hand side. I turned around to check my zip line to see i anyone was hitching a ride, I saw 2 troopers coming down, and let them zip in, WHOOPS, they were MEC, I was Brit = DEAD BRIT. OOPS!
PICK UP YOUR ZIP AS SOON AS YOUR FEET TOUCH EARTH!

Re: don't use another persons grapple or zip ....

when I deploy a zipline or Grapple hook, i'll always wait a while to see if anyone is using it, if not ill pick it back up, if someone is using it, ill wait for tehm to finish using it, then i pick it back up
