Why can we jump in this game?

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

I don't have a problem with being able to jump in BF2, but I think the height at which the soldiers jump is rather unreasonable. They got more hops than LeBron, and that's with carrying five AT rockets or a hugh-jass LMG. A bit over the top if you ask me. I liked the jumping in BF1942 and BF:V, and I don't remember bunnyhopping being a problem in those games (although admittedly I played BF:V more than BF1942 online, but I still put in a good 500 hours or so into BF:V and bunnyhopping was never even CLOSE to an issue). In BF:V you could jump just high enough to get over sandbags or logs, but you couldn't leapfrog OVER people who were standing straight up or anything. I think having jumping is necessary because it helps to get across small building gaps like the construction site in Sharqi, but I just think the height should be reduced by about half. Heh, a lot of the guys I used to play BF:V consistantly with said the jumping in this game was "Super Mario-like". :laugh:

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

no, u just use the system that call of duty uses for jumping and you'll be fine.

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

But why do we have jumping at all in this game? Are there areas impossible to reach by keeping ones feet on the ground?

Hmmm alot of maps you "NEED" the jump function.

For example Sharqi Peninsula. I love being able to jump over to the other side of the building. What would you rather do.. jump across when you under heavy fire? Or take the ladder go down and around. Or are you going to argue that jumping off using a parachute to get down is more realistic?? :hmm:

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

I think disallowing jumping on a near-empty stamina bar gives the best of both worlds, and is so blindly obvious I can't believe it isn't in the game.

Has anyone tried jumping near a basketball hoop? Your eyes end up level with the hoop! While carrying all that gear! Madness! :lol:

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

Jumping is totally valid if real life people jump over things (as was mentioned), so why not in the game?

If they want to reduce the bunny hopping issue they need to do the following..

a) No shooting while jumping
b) Can't jump when out of stamina (1 jump takes 1/2 of the stamina you have, but running takes less then it does now to balance that)

This would fix almost every issue with bunnyhopping

Very true

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

Can't remember the last time a bunnyhopper killed me and I'm not really very good at this game, prone or crouch aim for chest and fire in short bursts, try it!

Suspension of disbelief. Simple as that.

In order for you to become immersed in a video game, the game has to help you to believe you are in the game situation, and allow you to act as if you were (obviously only to an extent, its still a game)

Running and jumping to cross terrain/obstacles or legging it and jumping from danger are naturally instinctive things to do, and if i couldnt do this ingame, i wouldnt get into it as much as i do.

Someone mentioned doom earlier, going back to those days of FPS limitation would be a bad move. When im playing, i want my instincts to matter, and be able to act on them ingame, not to be left thinking 'feck, this game is limiting'

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

they could at least make it where the lower your stamina goes the lower you jump, when you have full stamina you can then jump the regular hieght

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

Yea kinda like in DOD






Soccaplaya all you need is the new 7800gtx and you have yourself a system

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

... First of all, If your complaining that its pointless being able to jump if its not high enough, well then you try jumping a meter into the air with a 100lb of equipment on your back.

Second, We can jump because some places are accessible by jumping... We need to jump over small walls or whatever it is to aviod a tank hitting you.
If this was the case that you couldnt jump, then wheres the sence in having to run around the small 3ft wall to get around it...

Third, It helps increase how far grenades are thrown... or how high..

lol, how many times have you jumped in real life to throw something farther?

So you're telling me, IRL, when you approach a table you want to get on top of, you do a two footed hop and bounce on up top of it?

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

Now, let me get one thing clear, I hate bunnyhoppers with a passion bordering upon madness. An impartial observer I am not.
But why do we have jumping at all in this game? Are there areas impossible to reach by keeping ones feet on the ground?

Maybe you should try the original Doom series, they don't let you jump in there.

Get the assault rifle and hit him with the spud launcher on it, no more bunny hopper. Or get the DAO.

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

You should just not be able to shoot your weapon while jumping, (this is sometimes good though so im not sure). Or actually not being able to jump when the stamina bar runs out. Whats the point of it going down if you can keep on jumping?

Even though those would make the gameplay worse, I guess you will have to just get better and be able to shoot bunnyhoppers in the head with a pin.
