TotalBF2.com: There was a screenshot released a while ago, which showed soldiers rappelling from a helicopter which seemed to be part of Trauma's prototyping of features for Battlefield 2. Can you confirm that rappelling will be a part of Battlefield 2? If so, how does it work?

Jamil: Unfortunately we had to cut rappelling from the schedule. The problem was integrating the physics which would make the ropes and system look good. When we balanced the necessary work vs the gameplay impact - it just didn't seem worth the trade-off. After all, rappelling looks cool...but it's just as easy to land the helicopter or hover and let the players jump out normally. So, minimal impact on gameplay...however, there's no denying that the feature is just too cool-looking. Who knows, if enough people ask for it, maybe it will become a Free Content feature...*grin*
