I think our stance goes a bit beyond toleration at this point. Right now, the tradition of Quake engine games is in full effect. To restrict bunnyhopping on our server would be perceived as outlandish by an enormous majority of this game’s players.

The game seems to have plenty of mechanisms to make bunnyhopping a non issue.

The game has a very accurate hitscan model for players under 150 ping. Admins tested it out completely before we established any position on the topic. If a person jumps, their bullet spread maxes out and slowly comes back to normal. To jump IN a firefight is just plain suicide in most cases.

In a 1 on 1 fight with two guys of equal decent skill, the one that jumps and shoots will lose nearly all the time. You can’t hit anything after you jump.

If someone jumps while reloading or trying to move to a new location, you can hit them fine if you track their movements. There is no leading in this game due to it being a hitscan game. All bullet velocity is instantaneous. The antilag system keeps things fair and makes the game very responsive. If you can’t hit someone jumping, it usually is not due to the game.



The preferred method of travel in the game is generally a hopping motion to maximize speed to the objective. When you get to an area where more caution is needed, you can slow down to a crawling speed and draw out the engagement. Different encounters require different movement styles.

If you have to get across a gap quick, you would probably pull out your knife and accelerate by strafe jumping to increase your speed. The faster someone is, the harder it is to hit them and to get a jump on the opposing spawn wave by even a second or two can mean your team achieving its objective.


Despite our position now, We will gladly reconsider our position if tactics seem restricted due to jumping.

In general, our position is that any external restrictions on behavior have to be highly motivated. Reasoned argument will win the day. If you want to see us restrict a commonly accepted game behavior, then we will need to hear a strong reasonable argument in defense of your position. If any kind of discussion about this gets heated, please remain civil and avoid ad hominim attacks. The admin team is here to serve our players, not the other way around. We will listen to reason and set game policy that will reflect the wishes of our community as it fits within the established policies of TacticalGamer.
