[Unholyassassin7]

well when i jump out of a helicopter when its low on health i always die well i dont hav enough time to get on the ground but then i saw something i never saw before well i saw a helicopter comin down and a gdf parachuting next to it and the area was in red i swear

if you can help and tell me how to get the parachute going like that

press f (default) just after you ejected.

Doesnt work all the time and leads to frustrated VOIP comments...
Hint: Watch your speed before you eject! The breaks might save your life.

You can also do some BASE or HALO jumping if you cant wait for the parachute season to start :D

the reason is that only the vertical speed is taken into account when ur falling down, at least for GDF, as the result if ur moving really fast really low and hit a wall while jumping out no parachute will help u there ( u wont be able to open it).
Its easier to initiate the landing pod for Strogg though.

I always land safe and survive most jumps.

...up to two seconds before my anansi/tormentor lands on my head.

just keep pressing f over and over..you should deploy the 'chute.....

ive noticed (whether its lag or something, i dont know) that pressing f once is not enough to ensure deployment.

Spacebar works as well.
