It's the marines fault for letting the alien come close in the first place.Plus he has to do all these jump+whatever key combos making it slightly harder for him to aim,as he could bump into a wall and *gasp* be eaten by a skulk
As for me....I have no problems with the marines,they jump,I jump <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

A mouse comes in. Terrified, she begins hopping from foot to foot screaming bloody murder and hops onto a stool.
A skulk approaches a bunch of marines. They're terrible marksmen, or the skulk is really good, and they miss with most of their shots. The skulk closes. The marines scream, hitch up their skirts, and begin hopping around. It is incredibly difficult to catch a marine that is playing hopskotch in the middle of a fight. In fact, as a fade, I chased one guy all over the reception desk of Hera for about 30 seconds until another skulk killed him. In fact, this has happened more often then not. I'll close with a marine with a shotgun. He begins hopping like an idiot. I get a good swipe in, and he fires 2 shots off and misses. I'm chasing him in circles like a bad episode of Benny Hill and finally he puts me down, still hopping around.
Marines are supposed to be about Big Guns, not manuverability. Why oh why are they able to hop so frequently? I thought bunny hopping was being removed? Jumping should only be for getting around (for marines), not a combat evasion dance.
Will there be a change for this in the future? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> I suggest you learn what bunnyhopping actually IS before you get annoyed about it. Bunnyhopping is an engine exploit to allow players in HL engine (Quake engine, actually) games to go faster than they should. This was <i>disabled</i> in NS 2.0.
But as for wildly jumping up and down, which you seem to think is bunnyhopping: what's the big deal? Why shouldn't marines be able to try to get away by jumping? Besides, it actually makes very little difference.
