Parachute and assault pod | Additional notes Battlefield 2142 Guide

If we fall from a high height, we can use the parachute, on of the elements of a modern soldier's equipment. We can open it after flying about 4-5 meters, so it may be used even while jumping from a rooftop of a medium high structure or wall. It allows saving on time, because we don't have to look for stairs or ladders, which allow to get on the level below - just jump and open your parachute. [Space] is the default button used to do it. Moreover, during the flight we can use our own firearm. However, the parachute cannot be steered.

When we are inside an APC vehicle, air transport vehicle or a Titan airship, we may use an assault pod. It is a very interesting mean of transport. Pods are - in most cases - used to reach upper levels like rooftops or Titans. Soldier inside an assault pod moves with an awesomely high velocity, which makes him a difficult moving target, so he may feel quite safely. In contrary to the parachute, assault pod can be steered and the soldier occupying it can decide in which direction he wants to fly. The only exception occurs when we respawn at the SLSB's position - we fall near this device and we are unable to land in other location.
