Here is an Idea for a zip line kill

As you all know, multiple people can use your zip line until you take it down.
Last night I was trying to use my zip line and hide nearby watching the roof that I zipped down from.
My idea was to see if an enemy got on the zip line and I ran to the attach point and pressed G to gather it up, would it suddenly disappear and leave the badguy falling to the ground? I got killed 4 times waiting for the right moment but it never came.
Anyone try this one out yet?

That would work, but I've never done it so I don't know if it would credit you with the kill or not.

It didn't credit me with the kill but the enemy still went splat. It will work but you wont get credit. Besides generally speaking the zipline will disappear on it's own before a enemy uses it. (the guy followed me trying to knife me.) so i pulled it when he was mind way and he went splat.

I don't think you can gather up the line whilst it's in use

Has anyone managed to shoot someone with the zip line? I think I'll try that tomorrow.

This is what i've found so far...

Both the zipline AND grappling hook can be retrieved WHILE someone or multiple people are on it.
The grappling hook can be dropped by holding alternate fire (mouse2) for a second at the edge of a building. this is great for letting people get up onto a roof you're already on.
I've also found that both the zipline and grappling hook will disappear if they are not used for a certain amount of time...i found it to be about 15 seconds....if it goes for that long without anyone on it.. it'll disappear.
Many times i've deployed my line in hopes to use it as a quick get away.. only to have it disappear on me shortly afterwards...very annoying actually >

same goes for the grappling hook.. nobody uses it for a small amount of time. it disappears....

this really doesn't make sense to me as..you'd figure it'd be deployed for the same length of time as you're alive...like claymores.

u can do that on both. but with a grappling hook i like to throw mine away on spawns that are on top of buildings so when someone trys to grapple up the building i just pick up there's instead of my own and it kills all of them. works well

Yawn... you can kill people with grappling hook and zip line.

As in:

Nyte [Zip Line] You
Nyte [Grappling Hook] You

I killed with the Zip Line and got killed with a Grappling Hook.

Alpha as fuck.

He dropped it on me, I was proned at the bottom of an edge of a building and he threw the hook down onto me (Sort of like the FlashBang/Smoke Grenade kills).

The Zip Line kill was a bit of a mystery for me, I was sliding down the Zip Line and a guy on the other end though he could climb it or something so he tried jumping onto it but I slid right into him and he died which registered as a Zip Line kill.

Alpha as fuck.

what I want to know is, can you shoot someone with the zip line arrow and kill them ? that would be funny as hell to shoot the zip line and ride it out only to find some poor sucker impaled to the wall at the other end

I haven't killed anyone with the zipline arrow yet but i have pierced someone and they could not move so i knifed them. I dunno if it was a bug or maybe the guy was AFK. but the arrow went thru him and i got the little crosshair X registureing a hit then he didn't move until i knifed him.

That's exactly what i did today. Was sniping from a roof in the Warlord map when a "grook" was thrown over the edge behind me, i placed a claymored at the edge and ziplined the heck out of there to another roof top. Moments later McCullough[claymore]XXXXX, i looked back at the rooftop i just ziplined from and discovers that my zipline is still there and a bad guy is about to use it. So i placed my other claymore at the end of the line. And another McCullough[claymore]XXXXX. It's those wonderfull moments that makes this game so damn FUN!

I think my funniest one had to be sniping on ghost A grapple (sorry grook sounds a bit too stupid to me.) came up and almost hit me so i dropped a claymore in front of it moved and watched with my pistol. Claymore took out the first guy. pistol followed by knife took out the second. (some reason a full clip at point blank range didn't take out the assault guy. But one knife hit did.)
