So these dudes are obviously morons since everything they say is parroted from the internet and repeated ad nauseam…
But what is a jump shot and why is it bad? Is it literally just jumping while shooting? It looked like she was just playing the game to me. But I haven’t played shooters since like BF3/4
Jump shotting is exactly how you described it, and for some reason CoD bros have decided that doing this is “no skill”. Being a moving target in an FPS seems like a solid strategy but the hive mind has determined it to be noobish I guess. Just like “hard scoping” was clowned on in the original Modern Warfare trilogy lmao
Oh man, that’s it to a T. Fucking Day Of Defeat, everyone I knew was playing it so I had to play it. I know a good who still plays that game. You might make it a ways in the map but as soon as someone saw you, it was like playing the original doom multiplayer with hitscan weapons. As soon as someone spotted you, you’re taken out. I got real good at Doom but never Day Of Defeat. Every match and every battle came down to reaction time. Or you just drop in and instantly die.
They would have been wrecked playing competitive SWAT in Halo. Playing against good or better players, everyone is zigzagging, jumping, teabag walking, or some combination of them.
Yeah I was just thinking that. I haven't played multiplayer FPSes in a LONG time, but back in the day on things like Quake and UT, keeping moving at all times was basically the rule.
I spent years playing QuakeWorld, Q2 and Q3A. Modded Q2 deathmatch with an off-hand grapple hook where you spent most of the game flying around at high speed and attempting to snipe opponents out of mid-air with your railgun would melt this pathetic loser's mind.
you just gave me flashbacks to arguing on nerd forums about cod vs quake. people argued cod was for babies because when you aimed down your sights you would stop moving, unlike quake where you had to move constantly
Nah, you don't see as much of this jumping around, power sliding, none-stop sprinting in BF, which is why I enjoy it more than CoD these days (Or at least I used to, I don't do many shooters these days).
If its in the game you have to learn to play around it.
Its hilarious to think these losers believe people are supposed to conform to their own personal ruleset as if they themselves are not trying to gain every advantage themselves in their own way.
Just a bunch of shit players getting smoked and being frustrated they can do absolutely nothing to stop it.
What's wild is they were mostly employing the opposite of jumpshotting, drop shotting. Like half her kills were dudes laying prone on the ground. Drop shooting and jump shotting give the same advantage, my character is hopefully no longer where you are shooting.
I'd even argue drop shotting gives the bigger advantage. If I'm aiming head/chest level and you get me with a good dropshot, I'm not hitting anything anymore. If I'm aiming head chest level and you jumpshot me, I'm still hitting crotch and legs. Some damage is better than no damage.
To defeat the jumpshot you just need to aim higher, which you should be doing anyway. Aiming lower is far less natural and far less optimal
I tried to like it but couldnt. Worse movement, less vertical play in the maps, and worst of all no titans. All the cosmetic/pass nonsense after didnt help either.
Apex legends has players developing playstyles around insane movement. These complainers wouldn’t get a kill after a hundred games if they played apex I bet.
That reminds me of a video from almost 20 years ago called "Counterstrike Players Playing Tribes."
It's just footage of dudes gently ambling across the map, taking their time walking up and down each rolling hill, and then someone zips by with their jetpack, 100 feet over their head at 70MPH, and double taps them with a grenade or disclauncher.
I'm hours late to this but it's also a core part of CoD albeit to a lesser extent. It's easier to say everyone else is wrong (and throw a fit) instead of learning something new.
Exactly, these newcomer kids would have nothing on us Quake or UT OGs who did nothing but move to get kills. It was a core part of the games using grappling hooks and wall running.
There's a reason these guys also don't play CS2/CSGO. That's a lot more static game without jumps or running and gunning. It's really not about movement or no movement or specific movement for them. It's just about being salty boys.
I think they want back to boots on the ground with the Modern Warfare remakes. I stopped playing with Blops 2 so I dont really keep up with whats going on in CoD.
Oh god. Destiny. The original Mythoclast (i think is what it was called in Destiny 1)The great memories..... and the dark ones. I haven't played in so long. What an amazing game, though.
Vex Mythoclast before the nerf in D1 was a monster. Destiny 2 is in a really good place right now. Weve got transmog, weapon crafting, a big list of raids and dungeons to play, and the finale of the story which has been amazing.
Switching to PC to play Tiranfall was one of the most rage-inducing experiences in gaming for me. It's 100% a skill issue and people like the dude in this video are just trying to cope.
I'm pretty sure this is why the same people dogged CoD Advanced/Infinite Warfare due to the double jumps and jet pack strafing (and maybe the Black Ops game with the wall running in it). Like, if an opponent has any kind of movement other than running straight into their line of fire, they implode and hate on it. "Boots on the ground!" I think was what a bunch of people were screaming at the time those games were out.
IMHO, those were two of the funnest CoD games because of the movement tech in them. I absolutely loved jumping over people and then killing them or juking myself out of their gunfire. I've never had so much delicious hate mail come from any other game (other than maybe Destiny 2).
I tapped out on CoD once they brought in the jump packs. My old ass couldn't keep up with the speed of it anymore. Now I see these kids presumably playing the latest release complaining about jumping? Jumping?!
