All skilled FPS games have strafe jumping.

It makes the game require so much more skill and will reward those who has skillz.

COD has it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zYtpLXj_6o
Quake Live has it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-H2bKcKUMs
Half Life has it
Many FPS has it

CCP if you want Dust to become an e-sport

You will need Strafe Jumping

it is an exploit allowed by a combination of the broken kinetic catalyser modules increasing how quickly you do everything and the horribly unbalanced input types

Strafe jumping and bunny-hopping are both gimmick moves that came about due to errors or inabilities for code to handle the condition realistically. It was later adopted as one of the favorable methods of playstyle.

IMO, it's stupid. I know as even as I was a bunny hopping rocket launcher player in those games, I was still saying it was stupid, but it worked for those games. Especially the TF-1 Soldier.

So I'm willing to see it in Dust 514 if...

1. No mid air movement control. Once you leave the ground you maintain the same direction, speed, and degree of rotation till you land. To those who don't understand degree of rotation, it means that you will continue to rotate the same speed and direction as you were when you left the ground.

2. Maximum hipfire bullet spread durring the jump. You still have a chance of making head shots.

3. No iron sight or scoping during the jump. If you jump while IS or scoped, it kicks you out of that targetting mode.

With those three conditions in, I'd be happy to see bunnyhopping/strafejumping players make names for themselves in Dust 514. Sorry, you will still have to deal with the stamina bars.

With those conditions, dear God, NO bhoppers or strafe jumpers will succeed! *gasp*

Dude! holy lololol.


You are so in luck, because that is exactly how it exists in this current build.

I've head shotted people in mid air hip firing. Typically straight on over head. Those are the tactics in killing mountain snipers.

The max speed you can do currently is 10.36 m/s in a proto scout vk.0 with mobility 5 + 3 complex kin cats. With this suit I can usually get two null canons at match go, take out a supply depot, change into my cheapie suit and rock on until I die.

Bunny hopping in this game can be the very wrong choice. It's a matter of knowing when it's a go, managing your stamina, and knowing your exits. I like that it's a tactical decision in dust, and not an egregious one at that.

...or some other evasion and movement mechanic enabling people to get on ledges.

Remember, "all skilled FPS games [used to] have bunny hopping" too.

We're trying to get away from cheesy and cheap maneuvers (whether they required skill or not).

Strafe jumping is still possible in this game somewhat, but it only stands out with the scout-shotgun users.

Cheeesy? Bunny hopping is part of fps if you like it or not. Learn to aim!
