ok this seems like a fine idea but the use of parachutes would be really cool.
it would be an item in your inventory (rifle grenade etc) that would come out as a bag. the bag is worn on back with a cord the player holds. if falling from high ledges just click and will fall down from the tallest of heights with no fall damage whatsoever.
however there is one problem. it can only be used once and falling is slow so your a sitting duck. though you can move while falling in it to land in a particular place so if i fell from tower (high) i would pull the cord and slowly glide toward another building (lower). another good thing is that you can use your rifle mid-air however with the exception that you cannot reload while falling.( cut that idea if you wish im not happy with it either). however when falling you can look anywhere in 360 degrees or straight down.
when hitting ground the parachute will disappear so you can go back to joining red hot combat.

please post comments and leave some constructive criticism.
P.S can sombody make me a SPAS-12 Uzi Carbine skin?
