STOP Bunny Hopping
I hate this in every shooter. Battlefield ist the only one I know where this is not annoying. Let people just jump once with the normal height, second jump immediately after the first one should onl...

Fully agree. Bunny hopping is the single dumbest shooter mechanic. it's done because it works, but it only works because of thoughtless game design. Most people only have a 16 inch vertical jump, but in video games it's more like a 5 foot vertical jump, which is truly absurd.
Game devs can absolutely make vaulting mechanics that don't rely on 6 foot vertical jumping. In fact Battlefield should remove jumping all together and only have vaulting mechanics. If they insist on keeping random jumping there should be a 5 second 50% movement speed penalty after jumping(not vaulting). It's entirely a game mechanic design issue and everyone that says it's just the way it is is kidding themselves if they think people actually hop around while while firing guns.
See how high you jump with 40+lbs of gear on and what it does to your ankles, then tell me bunny hopping should be a thing.
It still a bit unclear why you hate Bunny hopping so much that you think it needs to be removed from the game. With bunny hopping you can achieve about 3% higher speed than just running BUT you have to strafe all the time so the effective speed of taking you from point A to B is ofc lower than just running. So the only benefit of doing this is that you maybe are a bit harder to hit compared to just zig-zagging while running and sliding but that difference is marginal and if you get hit just once, your movement will be much more disrupted while bunny jumping, probably leaving you jump and and down on the same spot for a second. And yes, you can do it for like 2 meters while healing but that is also possible while sliding and it isnt that big of a deal tbh
Seems to be that you just find it "annoying" that people are jumping around because you want this game to be realistic and it breaks your illusion of being in a realistic game or something ? Well this game is anything but realistic. Also the gunplay is unrealistic.
- @Balladalidila I thought the benefit of bunny hopping was that you don't get bullet slowed (while being a harder target)? You can also bunny hop heal with any character with speed buffs like octane, bloodhound, and bang if your fast enough.
Is it? I dont think so. Well its probably like that with Octane while he is Qing, Bangalore when her passive is active and Gibbe and Caustic because they cant be slowed but I think all other Legends just stops when being hit. But I still think the "benefits" of Bhopping isnt big enough to make a big deal out of it.
Man guys, you'Ve revived a thread from september last year.
for me this silly jumping is not that persistent as it was back then.
On the other hand, since then I play nearly only with heavy ammo weapons, so good luck for everyone hopping around after eating the first bullets.
