I press it once and only once and it opens.
You just have to know WHEN to press it. Don't bother pressing it as soon as you jump because it won't work. You have to fall 20-30 feet first (my guestimate) then press 9 and it'll deploy (not eject) with no problems at all.
The only time I really have to press nine more than once is when I jump off a small ledge or something and want to try not to lose those 2-3 bars of health from the fall.
Ye ye...everyone but me seems to get the hang of it. Sorry for my english but I'm not from an english speaking country! Perhaps I should play some single player games and practice! And for everyone else, I know that it won't deploy (thnx mate) until I've fallen for a little bit. But hey, if I spltt when falling it will just do you good and me bad, because it will keep me from killing for 15 sec=)
run towards the edge, jump on last moment and start ramming the "9"button with an speed of 100 times/ minute
Had that prob too, when playing with my old keyboard. Maybe it has been tooooo cheap!Viller-Valle wrote:
I don't know if it's just me, but fcuk the damn parachute! Almost every time I play I have trouble with it! Why do you have to push the button 5 or 6 times before it ejects? And it's not rare that it won't eject! When I jump of a building after being e.g. a sniper, I don't want to get splattered just becasue the parachute wont eject! I understand that it need a certian hight, but I know that the problem still occur when the building is pretty damn high!
Now since i'm killing with a G15 it's all fine
if I see right your KD is 0.94.. it'll keep you 15 sec from dying another time..Viller-Valle wrote:

Simple fix...DON'T USE IT!
ROLF ... !!! I'm literally in tears here.AllmightyOz wrote:
Just press that 9 button like you're about to have an orgasm, and if your chute doesnt open, think of that as the splat.
There's really only ONE wa yto ensure that you ALWAYS manage to avoid problems with your chute:
You open it 10 feet off the ground !
If it doesn't open... Shit anyone can handle a 10 foot drop, right ?

Not if there was another 100 foot drop before those 10
SPLAT!!
SPLAT!!
I find it more like a hit or miss since the button 9 is quite away from your main controls lol...
His KDR would be higher if he wasn't splatting all the time in the chute.DeathUnlimited wrote:

It aint the drop that's the problem, it's that sudden stop at the end!DoctorFruitloop wrote:

its not that you have to push the button multiple times to make it respond, try it jumping from a plane...just once
the problem with jumping from buildings is that you need to reach a certain distance away from the building before it will open, just sprint as you jump off and then mash the button so it will open as soon as you are far enough away

It's not just hitting the button more than once, you do in fact have to jump away from the building. If you jump out of a chopper and are parachuting down and make contact with a wall or building, your chute will colapse, you fall to death. If you jump off a building and aren't far enough away your chute will not deploy and you fall to your death. So make sure you get a running start and jump away from the building.
A side note, someone said they thought it was not intended to jump off buildings and use the parachute, but in the intro to SF it shows the guys setting c4 charges, running down the hall and jumping off the building/cliff. Granted in that intro he just disappears into the green "2" but my guess is he eventually deployed his chute. I have to think they did in fact intend for the use of parachutes after jumping off of buildings.
Edit: Looks like hellweasel beat me to it, but I'm guessing you get the idea?
