Talk:B.A.S.E. Jumper

Should it be noted?

Allowing yourself to be set on fire with the B.A.S.E. Jumper deployed will allow you to maximize the advantages in mid-air (almost infinite Air Strike barrages, unexpected rockets from above, less visibility, etc.) since you can stay in the air much, much, much longer at the cost of 60+ hp. I think the strategical use of being set on-fire should be noted. J192 (talk) 06:34, 20 June 2014 (PDT)

Being able to suspend in air while on fire is a glitch, I don't think VALVe intended that. This is more of abusing the glitch than a legit strategy. But if Valve approves of the technique and doesn't patch it, I guess it's fair game. --  Heeeeyyyy, everybody! It's Meester Tweester!   13:11, 12 July 2014 (PDT)

I'm pretty sure it's intentional: it's essentially what makes a hot-air balloon work. In fact, it used to say that on the page, but someone must've removed it. And actually, I view the "infinite" hovering as more of a curse than a blessing; you're slowed down even more and therefore a very easy target. RiversofItaly (talk) 18:03, 4 August 2014 (PDT)

It seems more of a bug/exploit. So i doubt it was intentional to let soldiers and demomen to just hover around infinitely. It would break the game. So its not notable honestly. Ashes (talk) 18:30, 4 August 2014 (PDT)

Suggestion

I think that Valve should make the Whirly Warrior, the B.A.S.E. Jumper and the Air Strike a set, and the effect being air raid siren with spotlight shooting out and up from behind the soldier while the soldier salutes. It would make a very nice themed new set for one of the potential new updates in the future. If anyone agrees with me please tell me. Xxpowerhouserxx (talk) 22:10, 1 July 2014 (PDT)

This sort of "suggestion" does not belong on here, Try taking it to the steam forums instead. Ashes (talk) 23:50, 1 July 2014 (PDT)
