jumping while in a gun fight??

[imported_porsche]

I was playing BF2 last night from 8pm to 2 am and I noticed something that needs to be changed or modified. When you are in a gun fight you should not be able to jump 8 feet in the air. This is very unrealistic. I am sure our guys over in Iraq are not running 3 steps then jumping in the air 8 feet to avoid being shot. I understand the need to jump onto things but when you are in the middle of the street or in the mountains you should not be able to jump like that. Its just stupid.

It was a lot of fun playing last night. I was on one server the whole time and everyone on our squad was using the VIOP. Made the game so much better than hitting buttons to talk to your teammates.

You're right I don't remember be trained to jump around in a gun fright during training but this is a game. There are bigger problems to fix than to take away someones ability to jump during a gun fight. I always call the people that do the bunny hop the counter strikers because when I played counter strike everyone would jump around like a retard. Look its just a annoying part of any game but nothing to get upset over.

You would think they would make use of their stamina gauge and make jumping cost like 40% of your total stamina or something. Then, after a few hops you wouldn't be able to jump or run and would have to *gasp* fight like a man.

Its referred to as an arcade style game for a reason.....if u want realism, then lets adjust it so that 1 bullet pretty much takes you down, etc.... Go play rainbow6 for that, here, we like to hop :)

hahaha yeah, i dont think they do jump over bullets. one thing thats unrealistic is..if your running for your life, you pretty much have unlimited stamina. you dont think about anything but getting out of there. if i was out of breath i would keep running until i fell down. your much safer laying down then standing up

It is a joke... and aiming doesn't get that far stretched when you do jump making for easy kills.

You will always have people that Bunny hop in any FPS game. I personally despise it and usually do my best to kill them anyway and then say something rather unfriendly to the idiotic bunny hopper while his corpse is on the ground. People that do those are usually pretty easy to kill since sprinting is what they should be doing. Oh well...free points I guess. It's kind of like shooting a handicapped person with an AK in my opinion.

[DimmuBorgir]

oh god, counter-strike is probably where bunny hopping was born. its all bunny hopping. and in cs, when you jump, your crosshair expands so far there is no point in shooting

[The_Misfit]

and actually, in CS:S when you jump your forward speed goes back to '0', so you really don't see much bunny hopping at all.... The original - UT99 - is where it really was based from, no penalties in aim, speed, etc.. when you bunny hopped. They even encouraged it later on when they introduced the double moves...

I don't mind it, but the one thing I have seen that got me a little was some guy that went from full standing position, and jumped/proned at the same time. Looked like he was doing a break dance belly flop while I was trying to kill him....

LOL thats exactly what I call em too.......

It doesn't matter if they jump or not.

Most of the guns in the game (support especially) have a bullet deviation at about 10ft from the gun that is way more than the eight feet you can jump :laugh:

If they jump around they actually increase the likelyhood of being hit by one of your shots that "went astray"

And why should there be a one shot one kill ratio? It was like that in 1942. I played sniper almost exclusively and would get 12 kills out of 15 bullets. Here I have played almost 10 hours and I have a 45 % accuracy. Thats awful as a sniper. I know for sure that it is a lot higher than that, but because of the bug.glitch that needs to be tweeked, I am stuck shooting at someones chest and hoping I can get two shots off to kill him. I play sniper and it is getting pretty annoying when a guy in a machine gun has better accurracy then me with my scope on him and the cross hairs right on this face.

and as for hopping, do what you gotta do man.

[DeathFromAbove]

Well I do jump once when im out of ammo then i take out my pistol but I don't do like A LOT of people do...jump shoot jump shoot jump shoot jump shoot jump shoot jump shoot ect....

I have to take exception to that! :p

Although I'm sure Bunny Hopping existed in the DOOM days (unless of course you couldn't jump, I can't really remember if you could or not), it certainly existed in Quake. The Team Fortress Mod comes to mind, as I distinctly remember running across the bridge in 2fort4 ('The' TF Map) avoiding sniper bullets from the castle.

Ahhhh, memories.
