    You want to be popular? Have your server run only classic maps. There are a large Number of people who play for that aspect only. So Set up a Classic server And enjoy the Love!

    Parachute mod is cool as fuck and should be implemented as a research option methinks.

    parachute mod is tons of fun, allthough its about as balanced and well thought out as putting dual HE's on the comm vehicle.

    There is no map where giving people parachute mod is going to break it.

    It basically negates fall damage. Woe befall any mapper who relies on fall damage as part of his map's design.

    Not if the minimum drop for the parachute was high enough.

    and a noticeable # of people leave the server when escort, 402, glycen city, or urban chaos show up. I'd just like too see 1 server catoring to those who want it. There are enough un used servers.

    Yeah a classic server only would be nice and certainly cater to a good proportion of the empires population i am sure.

    Its just not the definitive way to garuantee a popular server is all im saying.

    Maybe if there's a wrap-up/re-preparation time of about a minute or two? Or the parachute can only work for 5 or 10 seconds at a time?
    Just my two cents.

    Give it a use limit per loadout. A loadout being whenever you respawn or change class.

    I don't see any gameplay benefit of parachutes.

    If you take the parachutes communism will have a harder time exploiting for the sake of fixing the exploits.

    Cyclopean city failrax is no longer a failrax. And let's be honest, when you see a bunch of infantry parachuting into your base, its pretty damn cool.

    Exactly, not seeing the benefit is a good reason for why adding them wouldn't be as unbalanced as some suggest. There aren't THAT many situations where they would really own so they can't really be that overpowered.

    Although how would the balance change once aircraft are implemented ?

    i would like a script to be made that counts the different players in a said map, on a said server, and then making maps that get a lot of players be presented moe to be played

    also, why do maps rotate??? why not let the players that win the match decide what map to play next???
