OMFG... I don't think there's a jump!

[Kyonye]

sarcasm not appreciated but i still see your point. jumping has something to do with the game though, pissing does not.

How is jumping anything other than an attempt to avoid been shot? It further reduces any sort of realism and further reduces PS to a twitch game.

Why is it needed? Why make PS like so many other twitch FPS games. It should only be in for collision avoidance and hence extremely stamina expensive.

Fek - I'm going to start spamming the OF with anti bunny hopping threads.

I would suggest that pissing actually has more to do with the game than jumping.

In modern combat, soldiers do not hop around like bunnies. Ever. At all. Climbing, crawling, sprinting - yes, hopping like kangaroos on caffeine, no. You throw on a 60lb pack and carry a rifle in both arms and then try hopping around and see how far you get.

However, how many times has a soldier had to leave his post to take a piss? Almost every time a soldier has had to stand guard for a long duration of time. I propose mandatory pissing breaks every 3 hours. This of course will favor male characters, who have a simpler process, but you can't have everything totally balanced.

Jumping was not a skill in T2.

Using your jetpack and killing those who used it effectively is.

ranked1, SJ already stated that PS WILL be a twitch FPS, but the current design allow non-twitch players to do other jobs and slowly develope twitch skills.

I use jumping a lot in MoH, and I don't bunnyhop. I jump out windows, I jump from ledge to ledge, I jump off edges and shoot people on the ground in the head several times before landing. I use it to escape when I'm near a window. It's very helpful, but there's no reason to spam it, because it isn't to hard to hit a hopper. Also, how will 2 feet make a difference when my Reaver shoots a rocket? Less flight time IMHO.

I think that jumping is a necessary part of real combat. If you are trying to get out a window or want to surprise someone around a corner, much of the things that Flameseeker said, but I don't think it should be like Unreal/Quake and games like that where if you are not constantly pressing the jump key and "bunnyhopping" all of the place you get slaughtered.

I think that the jumping should be like Halflife, where you don't go very high and when you land you slow down significantly, also aim is horrid in the air. I think that this format is optimal for a good FPS that is more "life-like". The stamina idea sounds like a good one but I don't think that the stamina should last very long at all.

Btw, this may be OFN to some of you, but I've been waiting a long time for this game, and I just ASSUMED since it was a FPS, that being able to jump is a given.

Anyways, hopefully, in those movies, they just didn't show jumping... but I doubt that's the case.

The "bunnyhopping" in UT2K3 is ridiculous, I agree with Toimu. As far as all fps having jumping, Ghost Recon,SOAF,(Clancy Games) don't usually have jumping capabilities. I agree totally in having stamina being a factor...very realistic!

[ABRAXAAS]

The key is realistic jumping ,you know like a foot or so , but you cant say jumping in games like unreal2k3 is rediculous, that is just as much a part of FPS games as grenades

[TGF NightHawk]

I'm not going to get in a pissin contest with you on this subject, it's how I feel about it, your choice to have a diff. opinion! To jump around like your ass is on fire(at the push of a button) & not lose any stamina, is the ridiculous part.....which is why I choose not to play unrealistic games!!

[Kyonye]

jumping would let you do stupid things. if you wanted to get onto a rock above the ground (just an example), then you could jump to get there. i think what they're aiming at is no bunny hopping but a chance to still jump.

[ABRAXAAS]

uho its gettin hot in here im out before i get pulled into the fire

[TGF NightHawk]

No no...just stating that there will be no repeats of what took place lastnight on a diff. thread. I agree there should be jumping capabilities, just don't agree with the "UT2K3 hopping" capabilities!

[BCR]

An interesting thought, would the planetside armour suits have zippers? Or would it work like a Space suit (You can let rip then and there)

[TGF NightHawk]

Zippers? Not sure I follow your question or reasoning for them!
