But take a look see at this:

Now you too can get dragged around by your friends in the vehicles.

Holy **** that's awesome. I didn't even think about parasailing off vehicles with the grappling hook. It must be cool hooking onto one of those flying dealies (dammit, the name escapes me) and towing a bunch of people around the map. They can even provide cover for the damn thing or hook on close and use the shield gun. ****, I can't wait.

Do players affect the vehicle's speed in any way? This is really cool.

Can you get killed or injured if your ride causes you to collide with a wall or tree at high speeds?
And I was wondering if you could put grappling hooks on vehicles? 4 raptors airlifting a tank would be... interesting.

Will grapple also work against enemy vehicles?

Here is a few pics of grapple in action in ONS.

Catching a ride on raptor leaving base:

Going to next node to help defend it:

Slingshot move to get up on tower in Torlan:

Holy Hell... can the Chaos Team get any cooler now? I'd have to say, "Of course not

!"

I can't wait to be hooked on a Raptor and dropping vortex "bombs" on anyone stupid enough to go up against a multi-man Raptor, MUAHAHAHA!

Yea but once that raptor is taken out...the fall down is kind of...yea painful if your not watching out

Part of the idea for the Hoverboard is to have it work in conjunction with the Hook and other Vehicles to " tow" the player on the board just like in Back to the Future. Maybe that will save the player from the fall LOL.

Ofcourse, the Board will still be a vehicle so it will be subject to all of the Vehicle Rules, Wich will mean that missles will lock on the board.

Wouldn't the grav belt protect from falls? And what happens if you release the grappling hook from the raptor while moving at high speed? Will you just fall or will you fly off in the direction you were moving?

I was wondering if you could catapult yourself to an enemy base using a raptor to apply the force and the grav belt to soften the impact

Its already possible to catapault yourself across the map with just he Grapple and the B-gelt.

The only way the grappling hook could be cooler is if it were able to go around corners properly. oh, and it shouldn't save you from falling damage.

Is there a limit on how many can grapple in a vehicle at once

LoQtUS · Post by **LoQtUS** » Thu Mar 25, 2004 4:25 pm

I dont believe that there is at current, but (IMO) we should add a limit to howmany can hook to a Raptor and " get a lift" over to the enemy bases.
