Im sorry Tybo this isnt a direct attack on you or anything but I cant stand when people say stuff like jumping around takes away realisim from the game. I can't think of any single shooter game that is completley realistic, and thats a good thing because if it was then I guarantee it would be boreing. Yeah you are never going to see Navy SEALS jumping in the air like that, but its a game and somthing that does take skill.
How does it not take away? Never said it didn't take skill either, in fact the leetness of leet use the bunny hop like pros, with their teenage twitch skills primed and firiing at full blast.
There are several games that don't allow bunny hopping, or make it very difficult to both shoot and jump, and they are hardly boring.
The aformentioned PS, DoD, CS(various versions have restrictions last I saw), Red Orchestra, OFP(about as realistic as you get), WW2online(ok maybe a little boring lol), BF2(cracked down on this, still had Dolphin diving) BF2142(aim goes crazy).
What am I forgetting?
If I utilized bunny hopping in videogames, even if it was "the thing" to do, I would feel like a complete jackass, especially in these shooters that purport to be pretty realistic simulations of miltary protocal, a la SOCOM there.
Now for the ultimate bunny hopping games like Tribes/Quake/UT etc, obviously it's almost a built into the system, and isn't actually so bad in terms of lameness, you just won't see me on there for the above reasons.
