The inevitable fate of bunny hoppers
Kind of a hilarious short story. This was three rounds after the Berlin AAR I posted last night. We had just completed 2 rounds of Shingle, and moved on to Verdun Titan. I somehow managed to get into a TG squad without my tags on (they fill up fast when unlocked) and we made a move for the middle silo. As I've said many times, I'm awful with names, and can't tell you who was in my squad, though I think Lyra was.
Anyhow, we hit the middle silo hard about 3-5 minutes in. The enemy actually abandoned a walker, which a sm grabbed and mowed him down with. After my re-debut as an engy at suez a few rounds before, I was doing that again, with the glorified boulder launcher (the Pilum) as my weapon. I set about repairing the walker when we noticed a sudden crash of enemies onto the silo. Some had come down with a beacon, some from a really long APC pod launch, and others from (I believe) a high flying UD-12. We fought them off, and only the beacon folks returned. We couldn't locate the beacon, so we ran in circles (me like a moron) trying to locate it while killing the 2 or 3 guys that kept coming down. Suddenly, one came down and the second he hit the ground, began to hop.
This was not a small, jump over the obstacle hop either. This was a blatant bunny hop, followed by two more. Me and an SM opened fire and missed as he went behind a house. My SM mentioned the hopping, and our SL asked if we had caught his name. Unfortunately, no. We ran around the corner and I ran the rest of my clip dry as the soldier dolphin dove and hopped his way around a pile of pipes (I think that's what those are). We still hadn't gotten the name, but my SM said "Let's run him down. You take the left" or something to that effect. Anyhow, I took a wide turn around the left side of the pipes (as I didn't know what weapon Mr. Rabbit was armed with) as my SM went around the right. As the prone prey came into view, I squeezed the trigger and---
A type 32 Nekomata, from about 20 meters back, absolutely blew the guy away. The corpse went flying into the air about 50 meters and came crashing to the ground at our feet. Our entire squad, which had gotten into the hunt, erupted in laughter at how perfect this was. If I had my mic, I would have said "That's God telling you not to bunny hop!" and I said it anyway, but to myself
I figure this was better than warning the guy for his actions (who's name I still don't know) as we did not have the issue again for as long as I was there.
Of course, I got disconnected (ie my game crashed) before the round was over, so I do not have the ability to obtain the Battlerecorder file from this round. If anyone got it, can you either hook me up with it or make a video of this ironic event (that's how perfect it was). It was like 11:00 EST on June 13 2008 Verdun Titan, about 3-8 minutes in (maybe more) at the middle silo. It could probably be made into a kind of joke promo video for TG (ie this is how most people play *bunny hopper* and this is how we do *tank smokes him in the face* TG)
Good times, good times.Last edited by Cpt.Pierce; 06-14-2008 at 01:58 PM. Reason: Needed to add date and time zone

Re: The inevitable fate of bunny hoppers
The funniest bunnyhopping story I have......
I was tried to knife a sniper in a building on berlin. As I got close he started hopping, pulled out a grenade, and dropped it as his feet. He then continued to hop as I ran away and died from his own grenade.

Re: The inevitable fate of bunny hoppers
I stabbed a bunnyhopper once, while he was hopping. During the raid, an engy was shooting his SMG at me and when he ran out, we tried knifing each other. But I almost stabbed him when he reloaded and soon unloaded the clip in my face.
