A roamer does the fast rollout to mid and before he can steal the demoman's health pack.
boom,8 stickies waiting for him by the time he's landed.

How about you like pull the second slot (since it's a backpack.) and click mouse1 to open the parachute. You're forced to hold slot2 open (the chute) so it's not like raining bombs

I just assumed you could use it to mitigate fall damage. I guess I was thinking BF3.

Then what is the point?

PenguinI think the main point is that if they give soldier a thing that lets him float, every pub is going to be full of soldiers using this with the market gardener. Horrifying.

I assume you could use it to glide to a more optimal spot before switching to your launcher, disabling the parachute, and then shoot rockets downwards. It could help with bomb timings in this way because sometimes a roamer bombs too early or too late, using the parachute could delay/stall the bomb.

i could see this being useful during stalemates between mid and 2nd on a lot of maps depending on how much control you have when it comes to airstrafing. You could jump while safely behind your choke, fly around above their team shootin' some rockets, and then flying back to your team. You oould then tell your team where people are positioned and who took damage.

You can still negate fall damage with it, or glide around. You just can't use weapons with it.

for all we know it makes you fall faster or spreads the plague to everything underneath you, this is valve we're talking about

I'd rather have an item where its only purpose was to negate fall damage, like the complement of gunboats. That'd be cool and more useful.
