They got a parachute kill, and the symbol is like a badge to show off their coolness.

You get the parachute icon when you kill an Airborne Ranger in that round.

I hear you get the parachute icon above your head when you don't punish for a TK.  Hence, why you see so few.  It's like a buff, you can just jump off of anything and float.. try it!

Good god people, he's asking a sensible question about the game and what do you lot do - post stupid replies.

BTW, I've never seen this (or I missunderstand the question) - sounds like a glitch/bug - could you post a screeny of what you mean?

Ah! yes! that would make sense... but only the commander would see it, yes? (that would explain why I'd never noticed it - when I do command I'm in the command screen)

~{TPP}~richoxon: were you commander at the time?

No not just commander. I've seen teammates with the icon above them though usually without the vehicle they requested

if the jump in the air and type alt+f4, they can fly.  basically they are using fly-h4x.

The screenshot......   i wasn't commander, i was a squad leader but the player was not in my squad,  we had the sever set to infantry only ,so vehicle drops cant be done
