Bunny hopping is the single dumbest mechanic in shooters and there is ZERO reason for it to exist in Battlefield.People use bunny hopping because it's effective, but it's only effective because game devs make characters jump 5 or 6 feet vertically rather than a realistic 12 or 16 inches, while still moving at full running speed horizontally. This is entirely a game mechanic issue. Vaulting onto and over objects is a fluid movement mechanic that is realistic and completely replaces the need for unrealistic super human bunny hopping. If they insist on keeping random jumping in the game it shouldn't be more than 16inches (essentially useless) and it should come with a 50% movement speed penalty for a few seconds after.We can end dumb game mechanics, by demanding better game design.

Absolutely agree. The same can be said about slide. It's just weird imo.

@SirBobdkI agree. That's an old-school Halo trick, from back in the day. Watch some of the streamers, these days, and you'll see them slide or jump when they round every corner, get to a door, encounter another player, everywhere. Every 2 seconds. Completely unrealistic.

Bunny hopping is NOTHING compared to dolphin diving back in BF2.

Wolfenstein from 1992 was probably one of the first PC games I played besides some ww2 flying games.

Or tribes, quake, UT, etc. Bunnyhopping is about as old as the genre.

Didn't they try and remove this in BF2 by adding a prone delay? I know it's still a problem but don't experience it as badly in BF than other games

It's one of those annoying mechanics like adad strafing that keeps cropping up in games only for the Devs to have to nerd straight off the bat

Personally opinion. Bunny hopping or similar mechanics for most of the time is never intended and more of a side effect of how games are.
Players will find a way to find something to give any edge while playing.

As long it never get the swan dive in Battlefield 2, we are grand. :D

@EA_Atic what people call things is funny. I remember being accused of asking for dolphin diving in BF4 because I wanted to dive forward to the ground and fire quicker.

Yet jumping around horizontal doing zou zou apparently was OK.
