Anyone else always try and see how far you can fall before you kick off your ID?
I love getting as close as possible to the ground before I deploy  |

I activate as soon as I'm out the MCC just because it makes me feel like superman (before I die horribly to your shotguns and whatnot).

I don't ever deploy it. I just spread my arms out and glide to an objective. |

A good tip for those that like to start off in a LAV is to call in your vehicle as soon as you drop so you get ahead of the que while everyone is still waiting to hit the ground. |

I believe the sooner you activate it, the harder you recover from landing. |

Yep, I am with you on this one haha. Lag has killed me a couple times, obviously left it a bit late on a laggy connection, but it has never stopped me.  |

I do exactly this too. Its great fun. Only died once when I very stupidly hit the square button accidentally instead of X at the last split-second, lol. I went *splat* that time next to a team-mate. |

I don't need to deploy it, because the ground has to deploy its Inertia Dampener to keep from crashing into me. |

You can get revived after dying from a fall from the MCC.
I have this theory that you fall faster if you dont hit the ID right after jumping of the MCC. It might save you miliseconds of time in the long run or something lol |

I wait till I see pixels... I've timed it so close I never actually deployed the dampeners effect, I just landed crouching. There's no point to it except to get that initial introductory game adrenaline surge. |

I might have to start spawning in with my logi fit, because I've been seeing a lot of "RANDOM PLAYER fell and died" at the beginning of matches lately. |

If your getting the message fell and died then they cannot be revived. |

I used to play fast and loose with my inertial dampener button, but then I lagged out for a second while dropping. Now I'm more careful. |

I usually wait till I was on the map where you can only spawn oncthe mcc at the start.
3 times in a row no matter where I deployed the id I went squish...
So I waited for the blues to hack something... ajdbmy squad laughed their asses off |

And I thought i was the only one. I always wanted to do it with someone else and see who hit the damper first. Recently I had to stop cause on occasion the game will lag and free in free fall, and although I would hit the button several times in hopes it would activate, it would come back and I would dead. No revive and an expensive suit gone, lol. Still tempted to do it though. Can't help myself. |

I knew I wasn't the only one! haha. even the Devs :D
I get killed by lag bombs sometimes. But it's far form often. When I perceive the jitteriness of lag, I hammer the X and I mostly come out ok.
As a wise man once said...
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

SPLAT!
I think it is of significant tactical advantage to do a HALO ID (If I may coin a phrase. maybe HALID is better  ) as I play a hacker when the match first jumps off. I always make it to the first null canon way ahead of my team. |

In the codex build, I could survive the fall with my tryhard heavy suit and still have about a quarter of armor left too. |

I always wait until the last second, unless the game is jittery which would cause me to splat onto the ground, which has yet to ever happen.
Would be kind of cool if you got like a +5 for waiting until you are 10' or less from hitting the ground.
Another thing that would be cool is if we had slightly more directional control on drops and the ability to damage people that we land on, similar to Starhawk. |

I used to do that a ton earlier in the Beta, but it always seemed to lag at the worst possible moment, resulting in embarrassing "fell and died" losses at the start of matches. Now I try to play it more safe, and activate 1/2 way down. |

Ive shot people out the sky with a sniper rifle who deployed thier inertia dampener to quickly.
Also.
The inertia dampiner removes your cool, always deploy at the last minute. |

Not much of a difference between inertia dampener on or off when sniping anyone out of the sky. |
