So gamespot basically has two options: 1)never let Gerstmann review another game for the rest of his entire life, or 2)Issue an apology and have someone who is not a complete idiot review it.
[QUOTE="ReddestSkies"] [QUOTE="481989"] [QUOTE="ReddestSkies"]People who hate bunny hopping are casual gamers who prefer playing slow and competitively boring games so they have the whole "realistic" aspect.
One of the best example is COD. It was much better before they took it out; now it's a slow, boring campfest. Hell, you still see horribly newbish players crying when you jump (even though you can't jump more than twice in a row without it being completly useless).
Excuse me? So I guess you can't have fun playing paintball unless you're wearing moon shoes. Secondly, i can't imagine how them being "casual" somehow damns their opinion; if anything it actually makes their opinion more viable because it means they're rational and don't spend all day playing video games (alas, I am not one of those people.)
Let's go over your argument, shall we? Basically, you're saying that bunnyhopping is good...because it's better. Good argument. Never mind the fact that bunnyhopping is in no way analogous to intense gameplay. I'm sure Zelda would have been 10 times better if Link could have jumped 6 feet in the air while firing his bow.
I can just imagine you playing a sniper in BF2. You probably run around shooting people from 3 feet away because you don't want to be a "camper."
Last time I checked, games are NOT reality. The comparaison with paintball just doesn't work.
Nice reading comprehension, junior. My argument is that bunny hopping isn't bad, since taking it out kills the game's pace (as example, COD is now the slowest game ever played online).
The Zelda comparaison doesn't work either, considering that it can't be played in multiplayer. :|
I have nothing against camping, as long as it doesn't become the whole point of the game.
And I said, if taking out bunnyhopping slows down the game's pace, then Zelda must one hell of a slow game, considering you can't jump. Whether or not it's multiplayer is irrelevent. Anyway, you fail to establish a linke between CoD being slow and the lack of bunnyhopping. I've played games in BF2 without bunnyhoppers and none of them were slow. Something else is probably at work here.

If it wasn't for bunny-hoping (or any other non-realistic manuvers), BF2 would have the worst infantry of any game because it would be so boring and inconsistent. By inconsistent i am refering to the random cones of fire that each weapon in the game has. If you noticed, all bullets will deviate from the iron scope, even on the first shot. This means that infantry in BF2 is based more on luck than skill, which has led to noob-tubing and c4 chucking (which are more reliable and powerful).
Also, if you do it correctly, you can bunny hop forever because of how fast the stamina bar recharges.

Acutally, I PREFER to play as infantry in BF2. I don't bunnyhop either. I'm just not stupid; I don't play expecting to run and gun like I'm Rambo or something. I patiently work my way up to a favorable spot on the terrain, look down my barrel, pulse my shots, kills somebody, and switch positions before the enemy knows what's going on. On Wake Island I know all the spots on the terrain that people tend to take cover on, so I can mow people charging the airfield down in droves using the gun in the tower.
God, I can't stand this. I have a friend who does this all the time. Needless to say, he just flunked out of highschool and he's planning on getting a G.E.D.
