Am I The Only One Who Hates Bhop?

I actually came to NS because I was sick of all the commonly used exploits in TFC. Call me old fashioned, but if you shoot a bazooka at the ground near your feet, you should DIE. And a bunch of heavy weapon guys hopping all over the place is just plain stupid. Yet, this kind of thing seems to be universally accepted, and anybody who knows how does it. Does this bother anybody else, or am I the only one who sees them as bugs that should be fixed?

    If you're coming back to a game, only because you are looking for something that you know is not there, then that is a sign to rethink your actions.

    Bunnyhopping was left in intentionally for aliens. However, that does not mean that you have to like it or want it to be a part of the game. It simply means that it is a part of the game, and people are free to use it.

    Personally, I very much like the movement skill aspect of bunnyhopping, but I dislike how it breaks the atmosphere and is not intuitive.

    rofl you're whining about rocket jumping and bhop but not whining about HWGs (which you mention in your post) which are 100 times more game-breaking to TFC than either RJ or bhop.

    NICE JOB!

    Granted, I don't enjoy what it does to the atmosphere, where I think of things in terms of stealth/ambushing, but I certainly don't hate it. It's just something you come to tolerate if you don't like it.

    Nah, bhopping is exploitive in many different ways, just because you don't need a script to do it (which most people use anyway) and the fact that everyone else can do it, which is another commonly used excuse, doesn't make it not exploitive.
    Anyone who does it is exploiting the game engine, as well, it unneeding lags hitboxes, very unfair, you can go faster than celerity, which is unfair by default. Someone bhopping a corner can instantly kill a marine in the middle of room before he sees it. There's no doubt in a rational persons mind it's an exploit, it's exploiting the engine, the question is it accepted? Well it is, and that's why it is still around, the same people who want ex_interp back are the same type of people who want to keep bhop in.

    "Bhopping takes skills, everyone can bhop", unfortunately what people don't seem to realize is none of those things justify it being an exploit to the engine, anyone can hack, and anyone can be a skilled hacker, takes a skill of a different kind, just like bhopping.

    Most of the competitive players don't want to live without it, because it gives them an edge, most will do anything to get an unfair up on someone else, all scripting besides special reporting in messages, just be banned, so should bhopping.

    Your argument holds no water. The developers of NS left in bunnyhopping intentionally as a part of the game. Thus, bunnyhopping is no more unfair than having the ability to aim.
  • CindarianCindarian Join Date: 2004-04-09 Member: 27807Members
    Lots of things that are broken are still in the game, things are tried out, and things are tossed, the game isn't perfect, and the only reason it's in is because of attitudes like yours. once again trying to dodge the fact it's an exploit by saying "well they left it in, that makes it not an exploit"

    If you think it shouldn't be a part of the game, you tell the game developers. You don't try to force people to play the game the way you think it should be played.
  • CindarianCindarian Join Date: 2004-04-09 Member: 27807Members
    Saying that and not justifying anything you just said? there's so many things wrong with that, I don't know where to begin... But i'll start with the fact that it's **** kissing the scripters and all around exploiters by supporting a cause you appear to know nothing about, i've been around since 1.04, i know what's up.

    More silly posts, no justification or anything, a lot of people don't like a lot of things about the game, it doesn't mean we're going to toss it. Alot of people including myself would like to see a good game come out of what now is shambles, public games are nubstricken jokes of a games and competitive games are lopsided and are based on what scripts you're using and how well you can bhop.

    Still you justify NOTHING. Go to sleep.\
    Of course majority rules, which is why head hitboxes in cs are nearly as big your ego, and it's that way because of 12 year olds who feel that's the way it should be.

    Really, of course I couldn't compare those, because bhopping is an exploit of the half life engine, and you really can't justify that.

    Again, if you don't like an element of the game, complain to the game developers, or just stop playing the game. But don't tell other people not to make use of a clearly intended part of the game.

    The fact that the developers left it in intentionally does, in fact, mean that bunnyhopping is entirely legal and ethical.

    If you can't justify it, which you can't, do not bother posting, seriously.

    I said it's explotive, and it is.

    The mere fact that the developers intentionally left it in means that it is not exploitive. They made it a part of the game. Using it is no worse than using any other ability.

    In your ideal world perhaps, whatever you say - is. In the real world, the word exploit is subjective and this is the case here.
  • CindarianCindarian Join Date: 2004-04-09 Member: 27807Members
    Let me be more specific, using bhop is exploiting the engine, and that's something you cannot justify, just because it's a part of the game doesnt make it not exploitive, wall strafing is still in, and that's exploitive as well.
  • a_civiliana_civilian Likes seeing numbers Join Date: 2003-01-08 Member: 12041Members, NS1 Playtester, Playtest Lead
    But because it was intentional, it is exploitive in the same way shooting is exploitive of the way bullets tend to center around your crosshair when you run the attack command.

    The game isn't perfect, far from it, which is why it's dying, lot's of things were intentionally put in the game, that doesn't make it fit for the game.
    I could put in a confident bet right now, that if there's a natural selection 2, there won't be any integrated "bhopping"
    You may also notice that the game is currently in "Beta", you can check this in many ways, check your install file.
    a "Beta" would be where they go ahead and try things out.
    Look into it.
