Parachuting (The most underrated/underplayed activity?)

They're the easiest thing in the world (imo), pay decent RP and cash, and some take even less time than Criminal Records (Terminal Velocity comes to mind). Yet, I'm guessing not many people do these, because whenever I enter a parachute contest, I win most of the time, and I wouldn't even consider myself good at it. Most people fail at even landing anywhere near the landing pad.

Have you done parachuting jobs? Did you enjoy them? Did you find them easy or hard? What's your record?

They're not fun because they're too easy, lol the precision landing pretty much guarantees hitting targets head on.

 

With weapons it's even dumber because all you have to do is wait until everyone jumps, then you jump and kill everyone because they all DNF.

I like it, but no one plays it, whenever I've hosted a lobby it gets very, very little interest, which is a shame.

I love parachuting, I don't do it as often as I'd like tho. Usually busy getting spawn killed or trying to get ahead financially.

only for girls

Strange. My penis says otherwise. Even stranger; it said anything at all.

Yeah, whenever I rotate through jobs as host, and get to parachuting, I usually lose about half my lobby. :(

I think people don't know about the air brakes, making them go out of control and end up somewhere a few blocks from the target. A few friends don't like parachuting because of this.

I play these all the time with my son, he loves it when I stuff it all up 3 feet from the landing zone after 3 minutes of carefully getting all rings at 15pts each.

I played it once, I enjoyed most of it till the end where I was just about to land and crashed into a damn pole 20 ft away from the landing lol, I looked back and I saw everybody else do the same and we all finished with DNF...It was pretty funny, dont believe I done it since though

I just discovered the brakes two days ago... guess I missed the in-game tip.

 

Everytime I would be in the lead, it would end up with me crash landing and possibly dying or getting -5 for faceplant.

Maybe that's why I see so many people doing that. lol

 

I may be remembering incorrectly, but wasn't it the same in BoGT? The airbrakes, I mean.

Not entirely the same.

 

They just slowed you down. You couldn't land as precisely as in this game.

Ah. Yes. Now that you mention it, it does seem to be a bit easier in this game.

It's ALOT easier, BoGT parachuting was properly difficult!

I did 4 of them, and won all.

 

Most people who played with me died hitting rocks or by not opening the parachute.. lol

I have no idea, its been a long time since I played tbogt.

 

The landing with a parachute thing had me frustrated since Dom in single player introduced them to me. I kept trying to figure out why I couldn't get it right and why it was so hard lol. Now I can go back and complete them.

Getting a full match going hasn't happened yet, but I'm quite content to always find at least one or two people in a lobby.

Oh, I've gotten a full lobby a couple of times, and it was a blast. We were doing Spiral (the one where you go around the Maze Bank building) and it was glorious. So many people bumping one another into the building, so many screams and good-natured cursing! Good times, indeed. :)

I like diving through as many rings as I can handle without opening the parachute. I always finish WAY before anyone else but I don't always win as others get more points than me sometimes. Super fun to see people try to figure out how I got down there so fast though.

I'm the real life equivalent of Dom+Brucie. In-game I'm no different.

 

Feel that blood pumping through your body? Woo that feels f*cking GREAT!

Haven't played all the parachute games yet but there needs to me more simple freefall and land on a target..like back of truck or boat...like the ones in SP...a group of 10-16 doing this would be a blast...

 

Can wait till we can create our own triathlons...do a parachute drop..to bike race...to swim race..to car race..etc...a real ironman challenge..
