<div class="IPBDescription">why is everyone asking how to bunnyhop</div> I dont really think that bh in pubs is so important as lot of u guys say, i know really cool ppl who kills a lot marines whithout bh, only with aim and ambushes, and as far as i see, there is nowadays a lot of newbies trying to bh. They just go trying to bh directly to three marines in cargo(tanith). I mean like, are u crazy or what, do u really think that bunnyhop kills ppl?
Comments
also hopping towards a location fast, as gorge, is great.
Anything else its walk or a attack
that is what most ppl use it for, to get around faster
people think it will make them godly cause they saw clanners do it. They dont understand that it wont help vs a marine who can aim. It works in a pub cause well most marines just cant aim that well.
OMG!!!! MAR!!!!

a skulk would never ever win against a skilled marine when facing him head on
But BHing is really only as good as the Marine can aim. If that Marine can't aim then well hes dead.
I personally at times do not like BHing and at times like camping. When I know its safe i'll BH to position quick. I havent perfected it yet but im getting faster. A lot of times I like camping in spots Marines wouldnt expect a skulk to be.
Example: Standing by the wall near an opening and hearing the Marine come then jump him with suprised usually ='s a kill.
There are plenty of games out there that take no skill and have little progression. Go play them.
It isnt fair that you have to learn to bhop to be faster!
Just make the skulks/gorges a bit faster yea <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Good thing the game is made so marines are team play based and aliens are for the death matchers. Otherwise you might have been right!
I admit I like the teamplay aspect of NS (although vs good marines, skulks need unbelievably sexy teamplay or need improvements), but that doesn't give me the right to look down upon people who play CS (which uses just as much if not more teamplay than NS) or UT or any other game.
Edit: And for the love of God stop whining that bhop isn't in the manual. Try google.

Where did somebody say that deathmatch games are better than teamplay games?
And whenever they come out with the next NS version, bunnyhopping should probably be in the manual because it is now a widely known feature of the game.
Sorry, I am just repeating WHAT THE DEVS SAID.

The devs aren't always right <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And Keyser, nobody said DM games are better than teamplay games, but on lots of posts on these boards it's implied that because NS takes teamwork it somehow makes you a better person than people who play DM games or CS (they wrongly assume that CS takes no teamwork).
a speed buffer WTH? what happens when you get celerity plus this "speed bufer huh"? jumping from left to right would be no diffirent then bunhopping maxed out, that is if this buffer was at all of an improvmetn on the current speed for skulks
SCREW b-hopping... all it does is make noise...
You don't NEED to bhop to be a good player. It's just a technique that some people use. It shouldn't be removed because that would be unfair to all the people who use it in their playing style. Adding it to the manual would just be plain silly, as it would simply reinforce the false assumption that all good players can bhop, and all players who can bhop are good.
If you can do it, do it. If you can't, stop complaining - NS is about teamwork, coordination, concentration and practice, NOT bunnyhopping.
As stated in the topic of this thread, there are WAAYYYY too many bhop threads in these forums. Flayra has already stated that it won't be removed, and I'm sure many/all of the people who can do it are sick of posting instructions, so I humbly request that the moderators lock any and all existing and future bhop threads, starting with this one.
And btw, as messed up as this seems, the aliens *do* need more teamwork than the rines, it's just how it works right now.

Correct... It would be exactly the same... except EVERYONE gets the speed buff... not just you. It seems as though people who know how to B-hop just simply dont want others getting the same benifits as them.
Imagine if there was a 34 button combination to gestate to onos... Would you simply call everyone who couldn't do it quick/accurately enough a newbie? No you'd say "WTH why do i have to do this stupid button combo just to gestate to onos." So... why do I have to jump around like an idiot to get the same speed boost as you?
whining... i dont see any whining other then by those who are trying to protect their tiny advantage from newbies.
I'm quite happy for others to get the speed advantage. But just because someone can't bhop doesn't give them the right to deny it from others who can.
Here's a good example: rocket jumping.
It's a widely used technique in many games, it's not documented in the manuals for those games, it gives an advantage over those who can't do it, and for the new player who sees others doing it, it can be quite difficult. Of course how do people learn to rocket jump properly? By asking others and by googling. If rocket jumping gives an undocumented advantage over other players, then shouldn't it also be removed, or made "easier"? ie. have a key binding built into the game called "rocket jump" which switches to rocket launcher, fires and jumps at the right timing.
Bunnyhopping is part of the game, Flayra has said he ain't removing it, deal with it.
