I cannot for the life of me ever remember flaring properly or even ever seeing anyone flare in multiplayer.

Just what happens when you flare, anyway?

You're sort of tugging at both sides, creating a temporary slowed descent. I use it sometimes.

Flare just an instant before hitting the ground. Just finished training in 2 tries..

Seriously

Flaring the parachute has been permanently "disabled" in Multi Player games
due to too many ppl [mod edit] and moan about how they will die randomly

JRTC farm and Airstrip Raid (forgot the actual map name)

the "use" key does nothing

and you will not die even if you dont press anything (unless you run into enemy fire)

even if the multiplayer was made easyer you still have to pass training to get there.
sounds like you doing everything right except flairing too early.

there was something in one of the patches that took away flaring in mp games but its still in the training - there was a line in the read me saying something about people dying randomly so they removed it but only for mp games.

and I can't count the number of times I either flared too early, flared too much or waited too long - now my characters is 3 feet shorter than he should be

Flaring wasn't taken out AFAIK. I can still do it.

the need to do while playing or break you legs and die was taken out

Perhaps you got a glitch, I myself have not heard this taken out. I can still hear the cracking and get injured if I don't flare properly. I was stuck in a tree once.

glitch? hmmmm --- several hours of playing the map when it was released, after the patch and previous - several reinstallations as well - all the same result - you can get injured - but you don't have to flare the chute to avoid death like you used to. that was my point - no glitch involved. - also on the desert map where you chute in (sorry very early here and I can't remember the name of the map) no flare no injury since that particular patch - it was a long time ago so please don't expect me to remember which patch it was

I do remember that I was glad when it was done because I was terrible at avoiding having my legs broken or dying from flaring at the wrong time.

but lilith don't want to get into an arguement over this so shall we drop it.
