BF2S Forums A plea to end all Bunny Hopping

I will prone hop all I want and you cannot stop me.

i dont really like to bunny hop unless if im knife fighting and especially the noobs wit te Nade launchers they are so F'N annoying any1 agree

The only thing to do for EA/DICE would be to make the recticles/crosshairs grow to half the screen size during a jump, thus rendering your weapon useless to a certain degree.

Anyway, hopping just makes you look silly.  Most of the kids doing it are probably wearing on their parents' nerves with the constant spacebar slap.  Maybe soon they'll have their computer privaleges revoked.

I think they paid $50 for thier copy of the game and they can play the was they want.

I do it a little but not to much because I found it better to prone and shoot.

Just for clarification:

Counter Strike Bunnyhopping was originally a glitch that allowed people to move faster than normally possible by jumping and moving diagonally.  At first people who had good dexterity could do this, which was then later moved to a script where anyone and their mother could download.

Although the diagonal-jump to move faster has since been removed from Counter Strike, it does not represent what is happening in BF2 where people are jumping to avoid fire.

Do I believe in using glitching?  No.

Do I think jumping to avoid fire is glitching?  No.

Do I jump to avoid fire?  I try to avoid doing it, but sometimes it happens.  I place it in the same mindset of Assault infantry.  It has its place and time, even though most people who use either abuse it.

All in all, I think that EA/DICE was leaning towards more arcade/balance than realism.  Otherwise you would have M95s that would give leathal lead poisoning on the first shot.

Agreed. Hard not to with grammar like that.

if u take 3 jumps and your exhausted you must be pretty damn fat lol

So fat we can't squeeze through a 2 foot wide gap in bamboo trees.

I work with bunny hopers in one way, i hop and use n00b tube, but i would like to see a end to this, 1 jump per 15 secs? That could work

F@GG@TS Bunny hop, the end

It's not just 'noobs' that bunny hop.... it goes across all ranks. I hate it personally and won't use it. But like someone said, they paid for the game, they can play it how they like.

'divers' are different, that's a recognised tactic, especially if you have a weapon that's best fired from a prone position... pkm in the face anyone

No, their parents paid $50 for it to shut their kids up about it.

Anyway, I've seemed to have subconciously developed a way around the grenade launcher and bunny hoppers. I've noticed more and more that the minute I see anyone holding something that looks like a grenade launcher I will sidestep and jump continuously. And they always miss, 90% of the time they were holding one.

As for the bunny hoppers, they are TOO easy to deal with. Since they cant hit for shit anyway when their in the air, all you have to do is time your shots to when they land and just wait till they land again. This always works and they will soon realise their strategy is useless.

I'll bet everyone's definition of bunnyhop in this thread is different.  I've been yelled at for jumping once when I heard an m95 bullet hit the ground next to me, I've been yelled at for jumping to throw c4 on a tank, for jumping across the opening to an alleyway, once for jumping and spinning til I saw who was shooting at me then went prone and shot and killed a guy.  All said I was bunnyhopping.  Is bunnyhopping (in this game) when you jump and shoot? when you jump? when you jump more than once? when you jump and go prone?  I'm so confused as to what I can and can't do anymore.  I know what bunnyhopping was in other games, it usually had something to do with giving the bunnyhopper speed or some other added effects.  In this game, it eats up part of your fatigue guage, and makes your aim suck.  This is the first time I've played an fps where people complained that jumping was unfair because it makes you harder to hit.  But seriously, I'd like clarification on what everyone considers bunnyhopping.

If they changed the game so that a jump of any kind exhausted your run bar a certain large percentage it would cut down a lot on the pointless hopping.  There is a time to jump to avoid incoming rocket fire though.

It does, look at your staus bar next time you jump ... bunny hoppers can hop all they like, but they can't run till the status goes from red to white.

My take on 'bunny hopping', they are the ones that will jump continuously to avoid being shot, whether at CQC or distance... but will happily shoot you whilst they're hopping... it's not pretty, but it's their tactic, 'we' who don't hop, will have to adjust accordingly ... I usually get killed by them, but hey, it's a game.
