Bunny Hopping - Page 3

Yep. I also strafe left and right randomly when sniping, to be a harder target. Good thing I'm not joining the army, cuz all that stuff would make my aim worse than gangsters.

OP: you're talking about jumping. Not bunny hopping. Bunny hopping takes skill, and is only in a couple games. Jumping like an idiot is what I do, and takes no skill.

lol i used to hate bunny hoppers in older counter-strike they had scripts and would be in your base right soon as we bought guns and was coming out lol i even masterd it without scripts waset hard in the older counter-strikes didnt seem fun to me tho just a way to get easy kills or get away if the bomb was going to blow and you was to close. Its patched out of most games now days cause of all the abuse pretty easy to write scripts to abuse it otherwise.

OP, you're confusing bhopping with continuous jumping. Both of which I am ok with depending on what game. It has a lot more to do with the rest of the game than what it do by itself.

The most popular bhopping is in CS 1.6 (ignoring previous cs version). Lets look at CS. Do bhopper get an advantage? In competitive play - player use bhop to get around part of map more fluid. They don't just bhop all over the place/ everywhere, just a small portion of the map/ situation. This is because if you jump you make a sound, if you jump your aim will be off, if you get shot when jumping you lose momentum and become a sitting duck.

To me CS 1.6 version of bhopping, crouch walk, crouch bounce, alt strafe, circle strafe are all acceptable. This is because of the penalty that arise when a player use such technique. Also in 1.6 you technically can't move a substantial amount faster. A player using knife travel 250 hammer unit in one sec, a quad air strafe net a player 255 hammer unit in the same time it take to run the distance. These advance movement all bring a new dynamic to the game. In games without these movement a player usually run out, get shot or shoot the other guy. BORING. However not knowing how a player might take a angle makes the game more fun and interesting. In TF2 however, a player can just spam jump as much as they want and there is absolutely no penalty. I think this is the kind of game you are piss off about.

OP, I find your argument very stupid. You argue realism and why not every player is able to perform such technique. For the latter; skill & practice. As for realism, I don't mean to be rude, but let me spell it out for you V-I-D-E-O G-A-M-E. Yes it is call a video game. I bet you don't like rocket jumping either.

I don' see the reason why the rest of us ( the majority) should have our game gimp because you don't find it fitting. I sure there are games out there that match your level of realism. BTW after all your ranting you never told us what game you are so mad about. And I don't think you're an old gamer if you don't like these old game mechanic. UT, Quake etc etc. I would say you're a rather new player to the FPS genre.

Nothing illegitimate about bhopping or continuous jumping. People forget these games aren't simulators. Arma 2 is a simulator. See anybody bhopping or continuously jumping there? Nope. FPS is FPS. It's arcadey because arcadey is fun. Simulation? Most people find it boring. Realism should have never been brought up. Call of Duty games, BF games, and MoH games? These have nothing to do with realism. Mid-air jet jacking and camping on top of windows has nothing to do with realism.

I love it when the opposing team is jumping like idiots. None of the recent shooters have a legitimate reason for bhopping so jumping just makes them easier to kill. All hail Q1 and DN3d.


Hint: I don't hop unless there is a speed-boost to doing so. It doesn't fit my rhythm.

Awesome hint: AoE weapons are there for a reason. Use a bloody grenade.

Having a bad time with bunny hoppers? Well... you need to shoot more bullets!
Pick up one of these:

And show them who's the boss in your server!

I don't see what's so great about that, he didn't even get one kill the whole time.

It's them invisibility cloaks that them terrorists is using!
