    Quick question, when you play as attackers and have to parachute down at the beginning, sometimes I start in Mid-Air without a parachute and  end up free-falling to my death. Anyone know why this happens/how to fix it? Thanks.

    Mash the A button/Spacebar if it happens. I get it sometimes too, but you can usually save yourself.

    @big_jon: I always tap it, never tried holding it down.
     
    And I actually like it when I get spawned with no Parachute, because it allows me to reach the ground faster, drifting down in your chute is boring..

    What I like to do is to wait the extra second for a squad member to hit the ground then I spawn on them.

    It's nice, but if you spawn too high, you end up killing yourself :(

    Not to mention you get first pick of all the vehicles that are there. Obviously that is only  when it's the start of the match. 
     
    You can also deploy your chute when jumping of tallish buildings or have some sort of a fall off a cliff or something by mashing X/A/SpaceBar. That way you can jump off tall buildings quickly if needed and safely land without taking any damage.

    never happened to me 
     
    but what I dont understand is how to use chute when actually in the match, do you jump and hold spacebar and it will come up? or do you jump, let go of spacebar and then press and hold again? not really sure.

    I hate that you can't cut your chute then re-open it like in older BFs.
