<div class="IPBDescription">Is this where the term originated from?</div> <a href='http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=bunny%20hop' target='_blank'>Real Life Bunny Hopping</a>
A Bunny Hop is the act of making a bike jump into the air. Bunny Hops originated as a trick done on a BMX, but have become an essential part of any mountain biker or urban cyclist's skillset, as they provide an easy way to avoid rocks or curbs. Learning how to bunnyhop is a long process. Being confident enough to do it at speed whilst dodging a bus will take longer still.

if not, I'm sure it was used earlier on, bunnies are old <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
*Edit* Arrowhead typed just about the same thing as me, right as i was typing
More important, which freak went on to think to try moving when jumping, strafing and moving the damn mouse to the point of strafing. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

really? 16 years? AMAZING!
Quick, someone tell the bunnies they didn't create it!
@status quo: He means real bunnyhopping, as in side to side rapid hopping. IRL you don't gain forward momentum when doing it, but it can be used to avoid gunfire for short periods of time at long ranges.
What is this... Alcohol... You speak of?
And the rest, of course, is history.
This is a traditional old school skill.
It went passed down from Quake to Quake 2 and in Quake 2 it became popular. Most quake2 players started playing HL. HL uses the same engine as quake2 and thus B-hopping was taken on.
And tbh game bhopping is different to ns bhopping. In ns you gain way more speed bhopping then in Quake or even HL DM.
Did Flayra make better air accel for aliens or something?

I think it's because the aliens are travelling so fast that they naturally get a big bonus from bunnyhopping. Gorges don't bunnyhop that fast. Plus, skills like leap and blink encourage bunnyhopping as a way to retain speed, so if you see someone bhopping really fast, they could be conserving momentum from a leap or blink.

I thought b-hopping was just left in intentionally for the aliens, while restricted for the rines. There is no difference in the acceleration. Only that marines slow down quite a bit after a jump while aliens don't.
