aliens get bhop so humans get?

I suggest that since aliens use a "skill" known as bhopping that marines should get a "skill" to increase their movment in the form or rocket jumping. This is where the marines can used explosions from their own weopons to boost themself places and dodge ect. It'll be cool.

    Good suggestion Hendrick. Though I highly doubt that it would help keep the gameplay balanced by any means. Rocket jumping, they really don't need that because they have catalyst packs (which already increase their general forward movement). Bhopping is a skill that aliens really truly need, only gorges and skulks can really properly utilize it. What use do marines need in getting a skill to increase their movement. They are meant to be slow as just stock marines, they need to be a team and stick together. Not John Rambo into a onos's gut. Sure aliens have celerity, which is a point to increase their movement. Though again, aliens 'need' to move quickly. That's what they are; and what marines aren't are: super hero's.

    I can so imagine GL hopping in NS. Shoot 4 grenades and bounce along them lol.

    It was intentional design in NS1 that aliens had personal skill emphasised while marines were meant to rely primarily on teamwork. I don't think they should get anything to compensate for bhop... I mean, why not just give them bhop then?

    Because marines don't need to be able to outrun skulks

    Rockets welded to their Armor, known as the infamous Jetpack.

    Just a Note:
    Only Gorges should benefit from BHoping, since Skulks can not use it while clinging to a wall or ceiling. Until NS2 sports a Custom Gravity System like I wanted for NS1 (for a Map).

    Think about the realism in what you want. Sure, this is in the future and whatnot, but it's still fairly realistic. Try doing a rocket jump in real life, I dare you.

    marines have the jetpack (i'm assuming its going to be in ns2 as well), seems like a fair trade-off...
