I don't consider bouncing as cheating
It also causes quite funny scenarios, for example:
I did the bounce on broadcast, missed auto-climb into the sniper building next to the main building, but there was a guy with claymores guarding the window, I drop down, somehow trigger the clay, it blows up and kills the planter while I safely hit ground. I had to stop playing for a sec to catch my breath.
What I would allow
- bouncing
- getting to places that are widely known and where you can just normally jump without bouncing (roof on Crash etc.)
- silent drops
- weapon switching, just bind weapon switch to Q and double tap it.
What I wouldn't allow
- elevator glitches
- getting out of the map
You say "widely known" but keep in mind, we are talking mostly about server 1 here. In fact, I thought that's pretty much all we were talking about. I haven't seen someone get banned in a krew server party for doing a little bounce in like forever.
Server 1 is a server meant for everybody, and a lot of everybody is noobs. I think we'd like to keep it that way. It's our recruitment server and we need a place that attracts low-level players or just people who are new to the game. It's also a place for people who don't spend as much time on cod4 to play.
There are quite a few things that really piss people off and cause problems. It is quite possible that bouncing does not cause problems all the time, but I think you'd have to agree that it has, it's possible, and that we'd like to be able to deal with it when necessary. It is a glitch, and some people have a problem with it. Reference my previous post.
Also, when is the last time someone got kicked or banned for bouncing on server 1? And how many times have you bounced on server 1 in that time period?
I don't think this is really a big issue.
