Bunnyhopping

[Cutlass66]

Even since the patch that prevents you from shooting while jumping... bunnyhopping is not a very big deal, but I see some severs that still prohibit it. I'm not complaining, that's a minor rule that I can live with.

My problem is that people seem to consider every jump a "bunnyhop." I think it's pretty clear by the name that you have to jump more than once to be "bunnyhopping."

Example: If someone near to me goes prone and starts shooting at me (most often a support kit), I run toward them and jump over, then shoot from behind. It causes them breif confusion, and gives me time for a couple rounds before they get oriented. In this maneuver, I only jumped once. I didn't hop my way toward him, just one jump once I was there.

So, is a single jump still bunnyhopping? If so the server rule should say "no jumping... period"

Re: Bunnyhopping

You are right, bunnyhopping is the repetitive movement of jumping up and down; as you would say, a rabbit would, hence the name. But one single jump or to me, may be even 3 jumps shouldn't be referred as bunnyhopping, and should not be kicked for it. When someone is in a repetitive pattern of jumping, till the aggressor has to reload; that someone just bunnyhopped, but I myself don't take it to seriously.I still think about how i would have killed that bunnyhopper if weren't for the darn hops. Thanks for bringing this issue up.

Re: Bunnyhopping

Hopping over a fence or obstacle, or over another player to screw up their aim, or hopping around a corner for that extra oomph! to do so, is not bunnyhopping.

Bunnyhopping is hopping continuosly and in consecutive hops. A good example of a bunnyhopper, even with the current restrictions, is an engineer who hops, then shoots his shotgun, hops while reload, shoots again, hops while reloads, shoots again, rinse and repeat.

Bunnyhopping may to some extent, help avoid enemy fire. The inexperienced ones. Bunnyhopping tends to throw me off initially, then I get used to the timing, and kill them anyway. But I still hate how it looks, especially on some servers or certain clan members where they bunnyhop all the time.

Some hopping still doesn't have accuracy penalties, such as a sniper who hop, hop, hops, then snipes with perfect accuracy. THAT is also annoying.

Unfortunately, bunnyhopping is going nowhere, and will exist in every future game that comes out.

Sorry, 3 consecutive jumps is bunnyhopping. Especially when they're doing those 3 consecutive jumps everytime you get in combat with them...

Re: Bunnyhopping

Bunnyhopping is in the game, ****loads of people do it. Get over it.

I only hop when im trying to get to a certain place and if im getting shot at i will hop to it. Or when reloading/ reviving.

Re: Bunnyhopping

I only bunny hop like a mad man when I get totally blinded by a flash bang. I feel like a chicken with it's head cut off. It works though.....

Re: Bunnyhopping

Yeah I've had some issues with people whinning and calling me a bunny hopper.

Here is my take.

If I'm getting shot at and have no idea where it is coming from, I'm going to make my self a harder target to hit. I'm not going to stand still to try and locate where I'm getting shot from. Once I do spot whoever is hitting me I'll usually crouch or prone and return fire. If I realize they've completely got the drop on me and there is no way to win this fight, then I'll sprint for cover. I'll also start jumping if my stamina bar permits it.

Re: Bunnyhopping

bunny hopping is as much a part of the game as wall glitching.

Re: Bunnyhopping

Shut up already. Who cares?

Re: Bunnyhopping

If me and a sniper are duleing it out, I get out of a crouch while I reload, then jump back into the crouch as it makes my head less of an easy still target.

Re: Bunnyhopping

i bunny hop all the time in real life....

I like that mentality when considering game tactics. I don't do things that obviously would not work in reality (jihad jeeps are a perfect example.)

In real life a guy shot in mid-air would go flying backwards... that would be awesome in Battelfield. Blast 'em with a shotgun while airborne and they flip over backwards.

Re: Bunnyhopping

bunnyhoping is the only way to survive against multiple (4) enemys!!!

Re: Bunnyhopping

The solution is to simply fix the hitboxes so that jumping does absolutely nothing to thwart the damage of enemy fire - as in real life.

Re: Bunnyhopping

ok shooting a bunnyhopper is dead easy.....

first off, they cannot shoot in the air, leaving them vulnerable.....second of all, the jumping movement is very predictable, and easy to shoot

bunny hopping is only helpful if ur being shot at from a distant shooter and u cant determine their location....


most servers consider bunyhopping 3 consecutive hops
