lol a couple rounds ago we were playing surge and a guy let down a zipwire from the command to launch pad, and around 10 or so people hop on, so there's 10 people sliding down. He gets off, picks it up and 10 of us fall down.


9 of them died.

rofl...

I wonder...were all those TKs then ?

i took a zipline away once(thats the only time i did it.) when someone was using it to see if it would be classed as a TK it wasnt though.

OMFG would troops please look behind them after zipping in so as to make sure no-one else is using their zip line. LOL, at least three times ive had a zip line vanish as im using it because the owner has thrown it back in his bergen. Any thoughts gents?

hate that too.

i purposly pull the zipline when teammates are on.  its the funniest shit in the world   Nah i'm kidding.  I don't even have SF yet.

no dan it should be you can't take the grappleorzimple while friendlies are on it. it is two handy when you got enemies chasing you to be able to drop them.

I've tried taking down ziplines after I've slid down using the G key.  It wouldn't do it.  Am I missing something here?

Is there any weight limits lol. Yesterday me and my squad on warlord. I throw my grapple on the roof and start moving up... My squad leader is going up with me too. We are going too close to each other and instantly both of us fall down. I look up, hook is still on the wall. Strange.....
Probably we just pushed eachother to fall down, but I wonder if there is any weightlimit for zipline or hook?

I think its something about the placing of the crossbow bolt plus the position you are standing on as the bolt fires a post gets ramed into the ground next to where you are then sometimes thrown off a ledge by the pole itself.

Sounds like you're doing it right, "G" is the default and works fine for me.  Maybe check your controls and make sure that you have it mapped to the right key?

You have to be within a certain distance of the zipline to pick it up; you probably fell to far and it wouldn't do it.  Also, have any of you guys seen this happen on the cliffs of Devil's Perch??? It's murder... (it is kinda fun to pull up the grappling hooks as your enemies try to climb over the asylum wall though

The reaon you cannot retrieve your zip line is becasue you need to retrieve it from the end of the line, where you  landed, otherwise you will have a croosbow with no bolt. no use then

Not true, you can retieve from either end.

Maybe you should deploy your own.....

By that logic i would have to go into battle as a sniper or spec ops only just to use the zip lines which i have done but what if you are a medic for instance?  The team play in this great game can sometimes happen from no-where, your running around doing your own thing when all of a sudden there is a sniper in front of you grabbing hold of HIS zip line so you join him on his quest for glory only to find yourself falling into a rose bush and the sniper is up there banging away like a good'n.
