I like jumping, cause I grew up with it and all the noobs misuse it so you can get a few easy kills :)

RPG has a point... I grew up with jumping and all the newbies can't get the hang of it, so, heck, a few easy kills, why not? ;)
Does the walker choose the path or does the path choose the walker?

In dust we trust.

You never saw this. It didn't happen. Don't tell anyone or you're a dead man.

unfortunately RPG and Lirael are mistaken...

Jumping people are harder to hit. I go for not jumping. Its easier for kills, because any noob can hit "TAB" or equivelant, but i've yet to find the noob that can dodge....

the saying is completely true "he who jumps least, kills most"
and all the newbies can't get the hang of it
how hard is it to hit tab?

Mr. hanky is right. no jumping is better, strictly because of a higher learning curve.

It depends on the side your on!

If you're on the Newbie then no jumping.
(you get much, much better)

If you're good then %100 JUMPING!!!
(much easyer to kill a jumping person)


Jumping people are harder to hit.
WHAT??? NO!!!
Just wait till they get juuuust before they land and open fire!!!
(boom, another point)

I was saying jumping servers are fun because newbis mostly misuse jumping and jumpp instead of dodge, therefore if an experienced player didn't jump but dodged, he'd have the newbie tank in his scoreboard once he landed.

it sounds nice in fore-site and does work. But in my case... I"d rather kill them on the ground dead, instead of having them jump, and continue to dodge the other people so i can get the kill on the landing.

in Your case you probally play on a big map, or a map with few players.

there is nothing more irritating to me, then shooting a perfect un-dodgeable spread, and then watch the person jump to safety on a building, or jump, and another person engages me, I shot at them, they jump, other person has landed, and now engages me, other player lands in safty, and again i'm engaged....

I continue that vicious cycle until the opponets are exterminated, or I am. I don't jump to avoid bullets, thats a bad habit to start. I jump to travel, or reach some one on a building...

I'm with The Red Baron because jumping is just a delay. Noobs jump all the time to delay things, and noobs with lag jump and jump by holding down the Tab key like litte frightened chipmunks. So your kill on them might be stolen by another player who happens to pop in while you're waiting for the noob to fall.

(edit: grammar mistakes are annoying) :)

True!

But, one-on-one, it's easyer to do do this:
shooting a perfect un-dodgeable spread
Then get them when they land.

Unless their jump delays a kill when they're many others around...

unless they laaaaggggg and become "bouncy", continually wasting your time trying to kill them...

unless they have WG with a high jump count.

Servers without jump enabled are by far more a more "accurate" experience in shooting and dodging. Nothing is more silly to me than an FFA server with something stupid like a shot count of 10. This invites swarms of noobs, logging in from modems, having sporadic lag of 500+ms, and jumping like mad.

It still all sounds good on paper, but lets stick in it in the HUD and Radar.... Where are the 1vs1 jumping sites out there? Could it be you play on isolated servers with 3-4 players? if so then your ideas are not the norm, seeing as the majority of players are on hepcat, Secretplace, and Gamesunited. Both have jumping enabled and reach their player limit daily, secret has 10 shots, hepcat and gamesunited only have 3 shots.

so my situation of
and then watch the person jump to safety on a building, or jump, and another person engages me, I shot at them, they jump, other person has landed, and now engages me, other player lands in safty, and again i'm engaged....
is the norm, its always happening. Rarely do you get a person to jump, and you get the kill all to yourself. Esp on Secretplace and Hepcat.

Well said Red Baron, thank you.

On a busy server, it isn't often that you'll be both the player to make an opponent jump and the player who gets them when they land.

Since I used to play CTF, I bring my dodging skills into my FFA game. Usually I don't jump unless I can't see a hole in their line of shots. If I can find one, I dodge. In most situations on the ground, you will find me dodging not jumping since I find jumping puts me at a huge disadvantage.

So, I find dodging more effective then jumping. :)

Thief+jump+coordinate with team(great diversion for someone to grab the flag)+make it so that they try to shoot you a lot and they are more likely to shoot each other... I've managed to do such stuff many times... it's so enjoyable...

I started on Pillbox and prefer no jumping myself. It is easier to jump out of the way then to dodge though and I guess those who like to jump like things easier :D . Thank you and have a great day.

Well, I suck at this game. I guess no jumping for a while to learn some skills. Then again, I like the wings flag! VERY FUN! If only you could carry two flaggs at once.
