Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

Killing guys who jump sideways and prone - either rush them and strafe while shooting down at their prone ***, or prone and shoot where their head will be when they hit the ground, works everytime

Killing insta-prone nubs - go prone and shoot where their head should be, because of the lag between hitboxes/animations.

Killing pronejumpers - the hardest. i suggest pronejumping back, then shooting them when they touch the ground prone where their head should be.

I know it sounds like i'm repeating myself, but if you don't do this, try it, it works very well.

Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

It annoys the pis out of me. Not only is it annoying to be firing a burst into someone's chest only to have them duck out of the path of the bullets, they then tend to headshot me from the floor. Even if I'm moving.

Another thing that pisses the hell out of me is going cyclic with my AK at a guy within 3 feet and he bounce jumps knives you. For the love of GOD if you were unloading 30 rounds of 7.62x39mm into a guy at 700rpm, you'd not onl hit him if he was only 3 feet away, it would also stop him running up to you and knifing you.

Stupid *** one hit kill knife when a .50 BMG takes 2 hits.

On maps where prone jumping is a problem, (Karkand) I tend to use my USMC shotgun as well. I've noticed more and more people are doing it as well. I used to be the only engineer without a vehicle in KArkand, now its like 1/3 engineers, 1/3 medics, 1/3 support.

I finally had a clan member describe how to go insta jump. It strikes me as a stupid pathetic use of the game mechanics.

You need to relax buddy ... afterall ... IT`S JUST A FREAKIN` GAME!!! Play something else for a couple of days , and then play it again ... you`ll feel better , trust ME!! I do admit, it gets to me a bit also sometimes ... but hey, I have way to many options before getting mad at it: 1) Do something about it, 2) change tactics, 3) only go with a vehicle , 4) change server, and probably some more but I found 4 things you can do in 5 seconds, I don`t really think you`ll get upset in 5 seconds?!? If you do .... some anger management would be required :laugh: :laugh: J/K

That is easily the worst music on a Day of Defeat video clip. Ever.

Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

The main issue I have with bunny hoppers and prone spammers is the crappy netcode of this game. The hitbox doesn't line up with the animation, so the cheating turds flop around with impunity. I've had tank and APC rounds go through hoppers due to this crap. If they dolphin dive just right, the hitbox ends up being the size of a grapefruit and somewhere outside the character.

Bunny hopping in most online games ends in death. I still play UT2K4. Hopping around while shooting works, but you end up travelling in a predictable direction and easy pickin's.

you gotta pull out your m249 SAW and shoot the ground where he gonna land never shoot at him when hes in the air, it doesn't do crap

Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

No matter what tho, it always seems with prone jumpers my bullets cause puffs of smoke on them..then they shoot me for a split second and insat kill me.
My newest weapon of choice is the GL.
I just fire at the ground and hop backwards.

Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

I have a lot of trouble killing the guy who jumps and prones in mid air when i have the advantage on him by hitting him a couple times already when i'm prone. it really throws me off and takes me like half a second to track him again at mid range, how about you?

Don't try to track them. Aim for where they land.

Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

unload a whole clip and pray, if they are still hopping around after then do a runner.

Do something about it? Liike what? It's EA that have made these guns less powerful than a dinky little knife. Besides shoot all you want and they can still knife you.

Take a vehicle? You mean if I can get past all the TK 13 year olds who think the vehicles belong to them? Besides I prefer to think of BF2 as an infantry game with a vehicle or two. I don't like using them.

Change servers? to the other server where people are doing it again?

Change tactics, well I do, and that generally sorts them out. However you still end up running into people again and again. Especially if youare trying to take flags. The ammount of fire a preson in BF2 can take and still jump or advance and stab you is idiotic.

Play other games, yeah I do that. However I keep returning to BF2 because when everything goes good, it's a damn fine game.

However when the highly trained USMC agre jumping around like they've got a pogo stick in their ***, with their knife out, well it may as well be Quake Arena.

Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

Hey, Quake III Arena was never that lame. The netcode actually worked and hopping around didn't create a hitbox bug that makes people immune to lead poisoning. The visuals are a little dated, is all...

Re: having trouble killing the jump and prone guy, you?

Usually just avoid them on Sniper kit on the ground, or run away and leave a Claymore present around a corner for them to run into. Can't really hop or dive that. Even better to scope their spawn points, and kill them as soon as they respawn. Sorta negates the whole tactic, if they die before they can even hit their Jump button.
