Please and thank you. A cool down timer, lower the height, something...anything, to stop the multitudes of people I run into jumping all over the place to avoid fire. It's not realistic, it's annoying, and needs a serious and proper look.

Note: ^Thee above is only my personal opinion.

jumping a valid tactic? Yeah, go do that in a real fire fight and see how quick you get dead. This is just plain excuses to skirt around people who jump around like idiots because in a real fight they'd loose. I don't like this bunny hopping crap at all.

Given the limited number of jumps even a scout suit can manage before running out of stamina, I don't really see the problem. As far as "realism" goes, if you could jump right over someone's head, you might be tempted to do a bit of jumping to be a harder to hit target as well. In real life, where jump height is much lower, it just doesn't work (although I'm not sure it would work all that well even with a six foot jump height either, just that it would work better)

jumping isn't detrimental to the person shooting you unless they only aim for the head.

you see, when they jump if you are smart and aiming at the upper chest, the lower chest/legs then take the damage in DUST, so you still do the damage, plus if they stay on the ground you don't know if they will strafe back or not. if they are in the air they can't do much to change direction.

THAT IS WHAT THE STAMINA METER IS THERE FOR!!!

Its already been nerfed enough. Try jumping over certain crates next time and try telling everyone here with absolute honesty that it still needs nerfing.

Because scouts shouldn't win fights

Ever

Bunny hopping as it's known now isn't what it's always been. It was a bug in the old CS games that allowed you leap massive distances. Nowadays bunny hopping means people jumping simply because they believe it makes you harder to hit. Doing THAT in old CS was a death sentence...not only did you not jump very high, but it absolutely annihilated your accuracy. In these current FPS games, jumping constantly doesn't always screw up your accuracy, but it does make you harder to hit since you can jump so unrealistically high.

That's the problem with bunny hopping...and yes I see it on Dust every once in awhile. It's something that's never been done on any battlefield and you would probably get the crap kicked out of you if you even suggested doing it in real life. Jumping in an FPS should be limited to strictly getting up and over objects or out of a space that you're stuck. Being able to jump any higher than that is pretty stupid and takes away from any kind of realism.

Yes, I'm aware that this game isn't supposed to necessarily represent real life...but every time I see someone doing it I'm completely sucked out of the game.

Suspension of disbelief is something vitally important in a video game. I want to actually feel that I'm sucked into the world that the developer has created. This game is set in the future. I expect genetically altered super soldiers, floating battle stations, robot guns and orbital strikes from massive space ships. The fact that all of that is unrealistic isn't what brings you out of the game, it's when things behave in a way you wouldn't expect. And seeing an enemy combatant jumping around like an idiot at massive heights is one of those things that you would never expect to see in a fight. No soldier would behave that way and it's far too common right now in the game as it is.
