We need more shooters with bunnyhopping mechanics. It's such a rewarding and cool mechanic in a game.
Why is it not more popular in single player gand multiplayer games?

For you c**ts who don't know what bunny hopping is.

 

[Exoil]

What's c***ts? I know what c**ts are, but I never heard of c***ts

 

[Elektro Demon]

What's c***nts? I know what c**ts are, but I never heard of c***nts

I fucked up

 

[Kuranghi]

I've been playing games since 1992 and I still don't really understand it haha. Cheers for the video in that regard.

I'm enjoying using cunt a lot today.

Enjoy this video you cunts.

edit - why don't you guys write the word out? Is it that offensive where you are that its equal to a racial slur you can't even type? We call each other cunts jovially in Scotland lol. Lets be clear though, I don't mean we use it in polite conversation ha.

Cause it’s a garbage mechanic.

 

[Elektro Demon]

Cause it’s a garbage mechanic.

Care to elaborate why?
In some games I agree it can be abused very wrongly to the point it breaks the game but if done right it's a great mechanic. Quake 1, 2 and 3 for example.

 

[M1chl]

Glad to see your thread making capabilieties being active : D

 

[Fuz]

Quake 2 had the double "leaning" jump and the circle strafe jumping.
What you could do in Q2DM1 when you mastered those was INSANE. I'm still not sure if it was pure, real, absolute design genius like we've never seen again, or just a giant stroke of luck - a fortuitous perfect storm.

And I want those back.

our people are dead but you have my support

 

[Saber]

Didn't Dragon's Crown make use of the bunny hopping as well?

It's a popular tatic with Sorcerer players.

 

[Cockles & Whelks]

Halycon days of Team Fortress Classic playing as The Spy. ♥♥

But just as important was wall crawling. Where inertial movement against walls gave you a frictionless advantage.

 

[Calverz]

Isnt this the thing quake champions took as a legit mechanic to increase speed? But ended ip creating a huge skill gap with players when the rest of the game has mechanics to try and help casual players?

Fucking scrubs ruining everything.

 

[Calverz]

Fucking scrubs ruining everything.

Its just funny because a lot of the design of that game tries hard to make it more inclusive to casuals but then they implement this hardcore skill that then creates a really high skill ceiling and the matches then become a case of thos who can and cannot. Perhaps this is why it died. Dont get me wrong i like quake.

I want more Skiing my hope is Lowrez gives up the license and we get a real tribes game. Although no one can agree what that is.

[Daffy Duck]

Play Black Ops Cold War.

It’s like a fucking Easter bunny convention with all the bunny hopping.

 

[thief183]

We need more games with huge skill gaps, in multiplayer I mean, I'm so tired of games that you can learn in 2 weaks

 

[Fuz]

Let me weep.

 

[Goro Majima]

Used to do it in Battlefield 1942 and it was the wholistic medicine of gaming moves in that it never actually helped but made you feel better

You Sir would be a hero.

Came here expecting this.

 

[PresetError]

I noticed that bunnyhoppers try to bunnyhop in every single game they play. Even when it's totally unnecessary or even counter productive. It's some kind of OCD thing. I don't condone it.

It's not popular in single player games because you only bunnyhop for two reasons:

1) Trying to rush or speedrun a game when most single player games want you to explore and lose yourself in the environments they worked hard to design.

2) Artificially further gamefy the game mechanics when most single player games shoot for realism and immersion.

Damn I miss Q1 and Q2 deatmatch. It still kicks the shit out of any MP game today due to mad ass maps.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Bunny hopping in TFC and Quake 3.
I was never not pressing right click to jump.

Crazy how dumbed down games are these days - multiplayer especially. I mean look at the popular offerings of today. Fortnite, Doody, Overwatch - all utter shit.

COD should make the entire character model the head hitbox when a player jumps.

With games like Quake back in the day it wasn't as big of a deal because there was one single hitbox, so even if you shoot the legs or feet you still did normal damage. COD though you end up doing piss damage because your upper torso shots become leg shots.

Bit like saying, aids needs to be popular again

 

[EverydayBeast]

Absolutely

 

[Come On Tars]

Still pissed they took it out of apex

You may jest, but this would make for an interesing risk/reward system, and this is coming from a guy who enjoys an occasional jetpacks-n-wall running series entry. You could also have people suffer knockback when hit midair and land in prone with stun grenade vision for a second or two.

I'd like to see something similar happen with "dolphin diving"--clear vision all the way down but a half second of stun once you hit the dirt. That's more for the sake of immersion than mechanics though.

Want bunny hopping? Here you go...

To us it's cute. To them, it's Lugaru.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

We need rocket jumping and telefragging back in games too.

 

[brap]

Skill in modern games? Lol no thanks. Where's muh easy mode?
