March 8, 200719 yr -Bunnyhopping...back from the days of rocket jumps and bouncing MGunners... -This is more of a PSA than a rant -The second you hear gunfire, what do you do? If you answered jump around, you have not played this game long and I would like to impart some wisdom to you. -Bunnyhoping DOES NOT WORK!...if you are sprinting between gaps in buildings, it can help a little bit...if you are in the open, you increase the time it takes to get to cover and make your path predictable. You float for a goofy amount of time unable to shoot. As for sniper evasion, I have a story... -There was a chilled breeze coming from the west as the sun pulled itself over the horizon. The Sidi Power plant was emitting an almost lamenting buzz. The gentle crack of the flag blowing in the wind reminded =420=1337Pwnzor69 of his days back in basic...anyway, long story short...Me and some other guy where a huge distance away from the flags (3&...5?) in the hills, when the same squad tried to cap them over and over. I would spot with my Baur and my buddy would snipe...as it turned out, these clowns where bunnies. NEW TACTIC: I would fire a baur shot while my sniping friend would aim high...Pop...jump...death. Thus, we where cheaters...WHO COULD EVER HIT SOMEONE JUMPING!!??!?! HAXORZ!! MORAL OF THE STORY: Ducking behind hard things stops bullets, drifting slowly through the air...not so much. lol :cool: -I feel better...
March 8, 200719 yr I actually find jumping very effective. Only in close quarters though. If a guy comes around a corner, stops, and starts shooting at you (usually behind me), I'll do this jump/turn/slide all at once which makes it very hard to track me. I can usually turn around and get the kill after that.

March 9, 200719 yr -There are situations where it is the most applicable form of evasion...it is just poorly used... Definitely, I find a well timed jump does wonders while charging someone after falling into the titan vents. They usually just spaz out and get shanked in short order. :cool:
March 9, 200719 yr just a thought got this from school in the Army with an add on don't bother running or jumping your only gona die tired yes i know its a game but it is a good motto think about it that was from a teacher in a school i attended instructor is an Army Ranger with five combat tours as a sniper team
March 9, 200719 yr Author -BRAVO MAN...PUNCTUATION!!! ACK!! lol :cool: -I too was told that. "Don't go runnin' around...you'll only die tired"
March 9, 200719 yr true that, yet i felt desarmed when a guy start jumping in close combat some of them practiced that a lot becaming good at it sometimes effective sometimes i just let them jump and wait till they hit the ground and yes they die tired (at least with their fingers in pain).
March 9, 200719 yr Nice story... I am with GA, in close quarters ( A Titan Console hallway, for example) it might buy you a second or two... like anything else, I think it is just a tactic that is useful sometimes, and sometimes not. I love your teamwork tactic, though... wish I could have a spotter when sniping!
March 9, 200719 yr Author ...wish I could have a spotter when sniping! -I will spot for you anytime M8. :cool: -I am usually support...A ping so we do not get knifed, a shield (in the wrong location) so they reveal their position first, and a big gun for the messy bits.
