CS 1.4 - bunnyhopping?!

[Alex]

this might be a repost, not sure, just a question i have really

ok so at cs.net cliffe said that they wanna screw with bunnyhoppers in version 1.4.

as far as im aware (here in brazil naming is different), "bunnyhopping" means strafe jumping (like in quake).
another interpretation however could be that "bunnyhopping" is actually just jumping around like a madman when shooting at opponents.

can anyone clarify this for me plz?

thx!!

ps - if it means the first, sod it i dont care, if it means the second ill be screwed for a lifetime cuz thats totally how i play

i mean seriously if its the second option then like cs is becoming totally a newbie game i mean what skills are there to master? aiming? what are they gonna get rid of next? shooting accuracy while you strafe? lol

They mean Strafejumping. I doubt there would be any way to prevent #2.

What's strafe jumping? Presumably jumping while "running sideways". Why is that a problem? Have I missed something?

Also, I think they could address the mad hopping about while shooting my making the accuracy of the firearm drop really low if you shoot while jumping about.

 

[erikiksaz]

Ahh, strafejumping is taking advantage of the air acceleration, which makes your player move MUCH faster. I'm sure you've seen it one time or another.

Well, didn't they already eliminate bunnyhopping in 1.3? You could still do it but without the incredible speed. Where does it say that, in the forums?

 

[MustPost]

bunny hopping is a "feature" of the Quake1/2 engines where you went faster in the air. Thus by hopping around like made you would get somewhere faster.
In 1.3 they made it slower, I think, and also reduced accuracy of certain weapons while jumping.

CS 1.4 News

Counter-Strike.net has been updated with a few tidbits. Apparently, Gooseman and cliffe are currently in Kirkland, helping out Valve with CS 1.4.



Gooseman and I are out here at Valve working with Eric Smith and company on 1.4, among other things. Macman and Ido have a new map coming and we're currently testing a way to thwart bunnyhoppers. No date is set for 1.4, but one of the more exciting aspects of it will be Valve's new anti-cheating initiative -- which is scheduled to come out around the same time.


I asked cliffe about the bunnyhopping. He said that his statement was concerning the type of bunnyhopping that means you jump over and over, not the one that increased your speed (that was fixed in 1.3). Looks like Valve and the CS team are continuing to balance the game, which is a great sign.

For all retail users, there's now a missing map pack. Finally.

edit - so actually #1 has already been fixed and now Valve is takin on #2

 

[erikiksaz]

That's gay, they're changing the way the game will be played. I think they're just f|_|x0ring up counterstrike with each release. And why are they even bothering with balancing, FIX THE DAMN BUGS AND CHEATS YOU RETARDS!!!!!

valve is a team of idiots. I'm an avid Half-Life Deathmatcher (the game that most of you CS n00bs would never be able to master...but that's another story) and I've watched for the last 2 years as Valve has ruined all the little things in the game that make it fun. Bunny hopping and skipping were a huge part of deathmatch, and they removed those. They changed weapon power, netcode, asthetics, and many other things that made DM amazingly fun and challenging. Now I play Adrenaline Gamer (AG) mod cuz that restores how deathmatch used to be. CS people should watch out cuz the game is about to become more n00bish and corrupt.

Bunny hopping should've been eliminated a long time ago.

HL DM > CS? H4W I don't think so. Any game involving rocketjumping in any shape or form at any point in its history is RETARDED.

As for bunnyhopping and being able to jump up and down with a machine gun. Its horsesh!t to begin with, so why shouldn't they remove it. Should just disable jump altogether, but that would make it too much like R6. Mind you jumping with the M3 is fun, but it takes real skill to kill triggerholding coltwhores with a pump.

Hold a second guys. You're talking about two different things.

1. Strafe jumping is fine and will not be changed.

2. Bunnyhopping is basically a cheat. Only elite players can manage a few bunnyhops in a row due to key combination fatique. Its a very fast way to move. That being said. Cheat writers have made scripts that allow for infinite bunnyhopping. i.e. character moves twice as fast as usual.

Strafe jumping albeit silly will remain, Bunnyhopping, for the most part, was removed in v. 1.3, but there may be some cheat coders that managed to bypass it, who knows.

 

[optimistic]

Does anyone know a good place to download CS map packs and POD Bot waypoints packs to go along with it?

 

[csH4x0r]

they are basicly puttin so sort of endurance meter in

<< the type of bunnyhopping that means you jump over and over >>



hell about the air accelerating thing well i cant do it and frankly i dont want to...i consider it dumb and its not gonna stop me from awping your ass if your doin it...

what im worried about is just your aim while you jump cuz here in brazil all the leet players do that and its a huge advantage and takes a lot of mastery and skill (with ak n stuff) so its great to separate n00bs from l337 players if ya know what i mean...

removing that will just fudge everything

theres a limit to how realistic a game can be.... delta force sucks but its realistic... i dont want cs to be like that!!!
