Ora209 142 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Hey all Whilst coming back to the straya gaming after the launch of apex I've thought of something that would be similar to a server i used to play on in arma 2 THE HALO JUMP Mod previously this wouldn't have been possible considering the size of aircraft that would be required to drop that many people off and make it effective, but how ever the game has changed since apex's release and the new black fish it out. Not sure if this mod has passed through the forums or not but as someone who played loads of arma 2 (when people still played it) and played one modded servers that had stuff like the halo mod and sling loading (remember this is arma 2) it made the game really exiting and fun. as a side note i don't believe that the mod/script is large and wont be taxing to the server, but that's for the moderators and admins to decide. Thanks Ora209 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rassad 2 Report post Posted August 24, 2016 Why not just talk with a blackfish Pilot, and arrange to Halo from that? Entirely possible on the server atm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can be done without mods but that would mean people will have to give up their backpacks, which i dont mind doing its just some people wont like that... and with the mod/script its an extention that the pilot controls and you dont need to give up you backpack for a parachute. (Not sure if this is 100% acurate as i last used the mod on an arma 2 server and things might have changed) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then the blackfish drops the vehicle, everyone ejects from the blackfish, and then picks up their backpacks from the vehicle when required Idk just an idea hahaha 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rassad 2 Report post Posted August 25, 2016 IMO People carry around WAY too much ammo atm allready. There is never any reason for Pilots to use ammodrops. Cost of Halo jumping is you do not get a backpack. Not a huge problem really, and you could always call in an ammobox to rearm. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If people are in a vehicle which is being carried by the Vehicle Blackfish, why would they need parachutes when the vehicle automatically drops with a chute? Just get in the vehicle. ez Two unarmed Prowlers is 14 seats total btw so that's almost a Mohawk full of people being paradropped. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogmantosh 242 Report post Posted October 4, 2016 The idea is sound and Fitz's last comment hits the nail on the head. your fully kitted in the vehicle and the vehicle has a chute when it hits the ground you all bail out fully kitted ready to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
