bunny hopping worth doing?

[ud!t]

ok I'm still kind of new so don't flame too bad

I noticed you can bunnyhop pretty good in this game by holding sprint, releasing in the jump, then sprinting for a split second again before jumping again. Not only can you jump high but you are (it seems) atleast as fast as normal sprinting so I imagine it would make you hard to hit. The problem is that it eats your stamina really quick.

Do you guys ever bunnyhop? is it ever worth doing?

[littlejay]

i can never not get hit when hopping. but i can never hit the bunnies...i guess i suck

[Feløny]

I do not do it, and i think that anyone who does this is not a very good player who has to compensate for the lack of skills with a cheap tactic.

All bunny hoppers must die.

Well it is virtually impossible to hit someone sprinting unless they are heading directly for you so I say why do the whole bunny hop/prone thing when sprinting alone seems to work just as well. Actually probably better as you slow down during the jump which gives more chance for you to get shot where as just sprinting will have you in cover far quicker.

You are also far less likely to get RSI from just holding down one button rather than mashing 3 or 4 to get the bunny hop effect. Also of course you don't look like a tard in game and other players don't call you a n00b so all good as far as I can see.

YES = it seems to work

NO = I don't do it

YES = you look like a tard'

Well theres a difference between a useful jump and those bunny hopping tards. I was going for a knife kill once and all the sudden the guy noticed me (he was prone) and started firing so I kept charging then leaped at him and killed him. Thats useful. Now for the bunny hopping tards, sure it helps them dodge a few bullets but its pretty retarded. If you take your time you can shoot them out of the air or another tactic is to charge them. Figure out where they're going to land and charge that spot. I usually knife them when they land. Its pretty pathetic to see that some people can only get kills by bunny hopping like a retard with a grenade launcher.

This is being addressed in the next patch.
Don't start doing it and screw yourself when the patch comes out.

You will be owning 90% of the players after the patch because they can't play without it.

[Blud]

I like the prone jumpers even more--NOT!!!
I hope you are right and the hoppers get severely restricted in the next patch.

Where did you read/hear this? Its not in any of the info on 1.03 that I can find. Please don't say you have an inside source as normally anyone saying this is full of crap.
I will be glad to see it fixed I just was not aware they were fixing it.

I faced an entire team of MEC bunny hoppers yesterday. Not a single one ran normally, even when they were just walking along.

agreed. bunnies are sad, and degrade the gaming experience.

[iewgnem]

Nobody is preventing you from jumping, only difference is you suck at it and they dont. Common practice is call everything that kills you "lame", which include aircrafts, choppers, jumping, sniping, etc. Unless its totally unbalanced like the BH and J10 there isnt any reason in whining.

[cgN-Grizz]

think about it this way.. a US Soldier in combat over seas, facing the enemy... he is getting shot and he thinks out loud saying "o **** i better do what i used to do in BF2, BUNNY HOP!" and the Middle Eastern says "Damn Scrubs with their Bhop Skrillz".

[glaeken]

I wonder if these guys are scripting the bunny hopping yet. I know in CS you used to be able to script key presses so that to bunny hop you just needed to press your forward key and then you would move forward and bunny hop automatically. That was not actually seen as a cheat as they were not doing anything that you could not do manually but it was lame as hell as far as I am concerned.

Oh and iewgnem that is a poor attempt at trolling. I am sure you are well aware of the camp that don't like bunny hopping due to how stupid it makes the game look.
