Sure it is. Bunny hopping increases velocity.

[frankbeans]

also moving left to right back & forth will also increase speed.

* In chat, people who are dead have a [DEAD] prefix.

Would it also be possible to include [All] and [Team] tags, or [All] and use the current [Jinrai]/[NSF] prefixes for teamchat?

WHAT! Bunny hopping is a skill maneuver. It takes a great deal of skill, just as in Counter-Strike Source. Removing my bunny hopping support is to remove a competitive aspect from the game.

7/10 because someone might think you're serious. Support isn't supposed to be moving fast

[danpV]

Heh, I thought he was serious. I thought so because I do know people (a lot of people) who believe that.

Consider a game of Chess. The chessboard and pieces (physical model) doesn't prevent you from sneakily swapping where pieces are when someone's back is turned, and against good opponents you might need to do a lot of training at sleight-of-hand to do it, but it's not being "skilled at chess".

Bunnyhopping is similarly exploiting flaws and features with the computing environment the conceptual game runs within. Go and play Fortress Forever if you want to see a mod which has deliberately set out to preserve the "skilled" physics bugs of yesteryear. Or Tribes 1 for a game which officially turned a bug into a feature. But as far as I'm concerned, it's still closely related to crap like jellyhopping through walls.

[Cizjut]

This is great. Could we get the crouch toggle option?
Or in-game music on/off, i love the soundtrack

Gotta disagree with you on this one, Terr. As long as the game isn't representing a super-realistic contemporary environment, then it's perfectly ok for "bugs" to become features, exactly as occurred with Tribes. It's important that Supports cannot play this way, as it's out of character, but for Assaults and particularly Recons, any movement glitch that makes them even more slippery is probably a good thing!
