Jumping Around: Acceptable Tactic or Cheap Move?

Juggernaut and Noobtube are things in the game which obviously give a big advantage to the player using them and are nearly unsportsman like in a way, they just promote a fake image where the player with the most kills at the end has the most skill, instead of making that player think about how he could get better and become a more skilled player. I could be the best player in the world but still get hit with a noobtube from half way across the map from some player who just started playing fps games.

When it comes down to jumping while shooting etc everyone can do it, its an equal fight, unlike the juggernaut and noobtube, and the advantage is that it makes you harder to hit which in every other fps game ive played to date is one of the main principles of the genre and obviously the right thing to do if you want to stay alive and is probably the second most needed skill in fps gaming you need after aim. It just so happens in this game instead of strafing side to side or strafe jumping which you cant really do properly in this game due to mechanics, your only real option is to jump. Which is nothing different apart from using a different axis. It all comes down to skill in the end imo.

Also on promods, there made to equal up the playing field so there is no advantage on either side unlike the vanilla games which are full of perks/kill streak rewards etc that dont require skill or tactics to be able to win the game. A person getting dozens of kills from his noobtube before the enemy even knows about it across the map is not going to switch and try different tactics as hes getting alot of easy kills. Hes the one not adapting to challenges.

I stopped there Promods are the most vanilla of all games, same crap for every single player. It's boring and old. Each perk requires a different skill to be able to use it effectively.

When I said vanilla I meant the "original unmodied game version" of the word. It had nothing to do with boring and bland or whatever way you may have taking it.

And tbh I dont think any perks require any skill to use effectively there all common sense on how to use and there is no real way to get better at using perks. Just look at the descriptions nearly all are obviously catered for players looking for either easy kills, an easy big kill count, players who cant aim with a normal gun and require other methods to kill or a get out of jail free card perk. Dont get me wrong I love vanilla CoD, though some perks and other mechanics the game could definetily do without, the perks however noob friendly they are are still fine for a casual game every now and again and the gamers out there that prefer that sort of thing. But when it comes down to the argument of how jumping in the game is unfair and it makes it harder to hit people its not casual anymore, now there thinking competitively. Perks do nothing but make one side have the advantage from the beginning and make it unbalanced. To really see who is the better player the two players must start off the same on equal terms as seen in many if not all big competitive games these days.

quite possibly the most stupid comment iv ever read. :rolleyes:.

Never played on PS3 , but PC

Camping is fine .just as long as ur not scoped in on a spawn point.

Noobtube , is lame but mostly ineffective.Move quicker the guy will die. Don't think I have ever seen noobtuber win a FFA round.

Bunny hopping........Hopping around a corner to get a kill is a Bunnyhopping. this is weak, if you know the guy is around the corner hopping isnt required just step round a kill him.Crap players Us this tactic.

Marty is just the most annoying , Punishing someone cause you weren't good enough .come on

Laststand . Fine don't care usually leave these ppl to lie around and die. or shoot them in the head.

You only started this thread to make ur self feel better about been a crap player and resorting to this.
Also I never said it worked on me. its all bunny hopping.The very min u hop to avoid been shot it is bunnyhopping. the Hop in game is only to assist getting over walls and other such. doing what you do is lack of skill on all levels


@ Brian Plank
Sniping is fine. But Sniping in on a spawn point ........ come on spawn raping. A five yer old knows there is no skill in sniping a spawn.lol

sorry Kami , I presumed you did ,with how strongly you feel about the subject at hand and that the fact you had to resort to abusing ppl rather than just give your opinion. I didn't realise that you can't be incorrect.

The bold Caps lock doesn't help your cause.

You are a bunny hopper , it doesn't matter if you hop once , twice , three times.Hopping around corners.You are Bunny Hopping noob.

IgsTer! Dude! I couldn't agree with you more!!!

I guess you're like Kami and myself when it comes to playing CoD. You're probably in a clan, playing on PC and you play "competitively" (ESL, Clanbase, etc). The thing is, the way you and I see the game is not the same as the other guys... They play for fun and we play for a little bit more than that. As a result of this tiny, yet significant, difference, we will NEVER agree on what's "n00bish" or "allowed" or "unfair"...
