The unreal engine comes with it';s own Default entity of a man cannon, one that allows you to alter the ark to sohw where someone will land, how powerful it is. and ho fast it pushes you.
Why can't we have a new man cannon equipment item like in Halo 3? This sort of small thing could really help with attempting to take control of the high ground/ towers in some maps. Why use a dropship, and you can just launch yourself up to the top of a tower? It's far safer, and subtle when attempting to clear out a tower of forge gunners.

We can't have it because it is stupid.
No, sorry, that was a mean way of saying it.
Really though this kind of thing is silly and not a good simulation of a sci-fi battle field. Launching infantry about is a great way to get them shot enroute and would just look silly.
No man cannons CCP.

I think the Devs will defer to launchable, sticky uplinks.

Just ponder how bad that could get. Ponder it deeply.

If the corpses didn't... ah... think they get recycled by nanobots or something like that... then it'd be a great way to re-purpose all the dead clones everywhere.
And no, not serious. Just sleep deprived. Leaving now.

Happened to me in 1.3 was it? jumped on a tank for a free ride on the turret and he fired the railgun sending me flying.

This reminds me of that thread where we talked about giving Fatties a heavy weapon Scout with Nova Knives Launcher.
"She may not be Miss Right but she'll do right now." SR-71
310k+ SP for +0.05m/s (>2in) on a Heavy. Totally worth it.
