Thanks for the compliment

My life almost had meaning. Being the one who destroyed the universe would have pretty much put me ahead of anyone in the history books.

P.S. possible paradox in this post???!!!

Cause Halo is totally part of a "Dying" age of shooters...

I thought that Planetside had no similarities of any kind to Halo at all, ever, no matter how obscure.

Shiiiiiit, I don't know what to believe anymore.

Halo is in no way a dying shooter but it's gameplay mechanics started off with Combat evolved with very oldschool controls and gameplay. No one said Halo was dying off but that style of shooter is slowly losing out to the Iron sights, quick TTK shooters. More people play CoD now than any other shooter, probably combined. I'd go so far as to commend Halo for sticking to it's guns and not "modernizing".

Halo 4 multiplayer is supposed to borrow elements of CoD's infastructure too though the core gameplay should remain the same.

Either way, bunny hopping in PS2 I can't see as being an issue. Does anyone know for sure if they replaced the stamina system from PS1 with simple sprint mechanics i.e. you sprint for X amount of time before it runs out...?

If that's true then can I lock onto you with my striker?

I, too, am bad and hope that other players can't move because I am unable to track and aim.

I think bunny hopping is much more effective in games where you're limited in your ability to aim by the analog sticks, so the effect of bunny hopping is much more. With a mouse, when someone jumps, you can much more easily reacquire them than you could with sticks.

I absolutely despise arguments for mechanics like bunny hopping and dolphin diving.

"It adds skill to the game so it is okay."
Bullshit... It looks ridiculous, breaks ANY immersion, and often only works because of latency.

Just diminishing accuracy is not enough at all. The important thing is to make it so a player who jumps goes about half the distance than you would with regular movement in the same amount of time. That would stop players from using it while fleeing as well as in combat.

last thing we need is 300 NC bunny hopping around etc

When you jump no firing.. solves the issue

games like APB are ruined because of bunny hopping bafoons

Baneblade · 2012-06-19, 10:26 PM

I'm all for bunny hopping being allowed... as long as the cof bloom is so large that you blow your own balls off doing it. And the cof can't shrink to normal for two seconds... which is realistic.

I totally agree with you, and I thank you for phrasing this in a way that Mr. T would surely appreciate.

I agree that the idea realism can be taken too far. For example, I have no desire to play a MMOFPS wherein I have to eat in-game food and have regular virtual bowel movements, but I think there is a relatively high standard of realism that the developers are going for. I don't think the team would go through all the trouble of integrating complex physics if they didn't have a desire to have players utilize similarly realistic tactics. Shooting while jumping shouldn't be out of the questions, but the inclusion of a stamina gauge and accuracy penalties seems more in line with the development teams vision. After all, I have yet to see a trailer for the game that shows soldiers bouncing here and there like gummy bears.

is this a problem in ps1 and will be a problem in ps2?

battlefield combated this by stopping you shooting while jumping and you dont see it in bf3 as you dont jump that high cus you actually physically jump over obstacles now so people dont bother.

There was this one game where if you bunny hope it slows your movement speed to pretty much 10% of normal running--not sprinting speed. So yea.
