After 20 years of online FPS - why on Earth would you put in bunnyhopping?

It is one of the worst mechanics any lamer can depend upon, yet most of the players in this are kangaroos again.

Game development meeting - So, shall we let them bunny hop?

Well it is 2019 and the evidence since 1999 is that it works, so yeah, let's go for it.

What about lean/crouch?

We'll hold that back for a future patch, don't want to overload the players all at once.

Yeah, I see your point, they have to adjust to the claymore spam and infinite grenade resupply spam in the next patch.

I can't wait to see their faces when we add in the tactical nuclear weapon perk.

Orsum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fast Sliding and jumping is fine. I believe that is part of the intended game design until I'm told otherwise. Its also in titanfall 2. But the bhopping healing is not.

And in fact fortnite also removed bunny hopping because they felt it was undermining their game. For the same reasons that respawn didn't keep the wallrunning, double jumping and grappling hooks for all players like in titanfall 2.. IMO its because they want more isolated skirmishes on a very large map, which is part of what makes BR different.

Why bunny hop when you got a jump pad?

That and wraith portal, and pathfinder are to promote teamplay imo.

ALso those things have cooldowns and it would be a totally diff game experience if every player could just move quickly to any point of the map at all times.
