I have had mpo for almost a year now, im kinda new to online. Im pretty good though. Can someone tell me what those parachute things are. People use them right before they die and i dont know how to use it. Also, when I look at my personal data it says 0 in everything, but I have alot more than 0.

Thank you!

The parachute is called "Fulton". You use it to get your soldier the hell out of their before s/he ends up dying. To use it, hold in SELECT and and press the L button. You can only use it outside (there can't be a roof over your head) and it doesn't work if someone is jamming it with a Chaff Grenade.

I'm not sure if VR battles count for personal records or not. You may have to play RC to make them go up.

Yeah, your stats only go up when playing RC matches. The same applies for losing your soldiers.

INDEED! They shouldn't be available unless you die and want to recover a soldier in RC. It's bull when you double-team a guy and he just...escapes. You should be able to shoot them as they're escaping, I think that would even it up a little.

No, but there is a way to keep your soldiers if they die online.

Well what I think you have to do is surrender to the enemies team or somethin like that. By the way, You may not lose your special characters online, but if they die their HP is reduced to 1/whatever your guys health is.

What I do, is if i lose my guys, and I didn't really play well, I just shut off the system. If you don't save, it doesn't record that your guys died Online. I'm not sure if it records that in the rankings if you do that.

Well actually special soldiers will have their hp decreased to 1 and you need to replenish their health with the med kits and all to full for you them to be "active" again. Well another way to not lose the soldiers in RC is that when you die. Just press fulton as if you were alive and you won't lose your soldiers. Although white flag is also another way. P.S. Fulton doesn't work if you are in crawl position.
