Skywalking (or superman-ing)...

1. Jump in a plane and go straight up for a long time.
2. Bail out but do not open your chute
3. Put your crosshairs on the horizon (not pointed down)
4. Press forward and travel anywhere on the map rapidly as you fall

#1 way to infiltrate "DC_LostVillage" as Coalition. Get in a helo and go straight up and back (away from village) to corner of map. Empty the helo beyond minimap range, fly into a back flag, pop the chute below building roofs, and land in the flag radius.

used to be able to skywalk from one main base to the other on alamein, ahhh good times

i alpha tested battlefield modern combat for the ps2 (amazing game) and towards the end of it we found a tall mountain you could jump off of and parachute into the city's roofs

it will be fun to screw people over with that when the retail comes out!

why would you play BF Modern Combat when you have bf2?

i dont trust jumping out of air vehicles since half the time when i do the vehicle runs me over =(

Someone mention how to map jump/parachute on same button by manually edit it in control.con on page 10. This thread contain lot of information on mapping BF2 keys.

I mapped 'chute to my F key since I use it for LASLO alot. It's much easier than 9 and I can spam it, using F I've never had a chute that wouldn't open.

**Phelan Ward** · 08-11-2005, 09:29 AM

Thas funny, I have never had a problem with my 'chute. I just hold down 9 after my gun disappears.

**snaggletto** · 08-14-2005, 11:39 AM

I always wondered about deploying the 'chute. I remapped my key to 'V' as it's alot easier to get to than '9'. However, is it supposed to be just one hit and let go to deploy, or do you have to hold it down for a sec or two, or like someone else said, "spam it" for all it's worth and hope it opens. It seems really flaky to me, and I die from most base jumps from buildings. Though I see others that have no problem with it. Maybe it's just lag, though my other controls seems pretty responsive most of the time.

Also if you deploy at high altitude by mistake, you will end up way off course as it doesn't seem to steer very well like Americas Army.

I think there's an ingame "check" that requires you to fall X amount of meters before u can open the chute. So what I do(and this never fails) is to jump of the building, wait 1 sec(1 sec might be to long, but it's hard to measure it) and then press the "9" key a couple of times.

For me, it always works.

**AlienBaby_** · 08-23-2005, 11:07 AM

I'm a little confused over skywalking.

You go up high, got that bit

then jump but _dont_ open your chute and press forward?

does that mean you go forwards really quick when your in the sky?

If you _did_ open your chute, I can see how you make it so far...

**Yer Mom** · 08-24-2005, 11:25 PM

True story --- I've hit someone with a parachute open with a helo, mid-air at about 40 feet, and my helo spun out of control and it knocked me down to about 4 bars of armor from full.

Totally true story.

I don't think there are many things more satisfying than nailing a tank as AT while parachuting from 200m.

**Legato895** · 08-25-2005, 02:47 AM

during the pw games today i saw more and more high altitude dropping. i know its perfectly legit, but it sure is a bitch. usually there is no AA, and jets can't get up to that altitude and still be combat effective. i donno, its not like i think it should be banned or anything just because its annoying to me, its just tough to do anything about it.
