Ok i DLed the new update, but why are "superjumps" still allowed? People can still use them to jump to the top of the windmill or the top of the base in Zanzibar? Am i wrong in saying that it is still cheating? The day OF the new update i saw two kids on the top of the base sniping... and i wonder why wasnt that taken out? I mean i never saw anyone use the rocket/sword glitch and they got rid of it, but when i see these everyday they are still there? That doesn't make sense to me.
You ARE wrong to say that this (Superjumping) is cheating. Here are my reasons why superjumps are "A-Okay" :
1. It is painfully obvious that these superjumps were intentionally added to the game. The portions of the maps where superjumps are possible are perfectly designed for said jumps. In burial mounds, the crack in the side of the cliff is ....Juuust makeable, with the proper aiming and torque, etc. At Zanzibar, the superjump to the top of the base requires that you pass through a hole in said roof that was placed in just the right position for an easy ascent. Getting to the top of the windmill...well...Basically, you can only do a superjump in one part of the map, in one particular place. Therefore, isn't it obvious that, since the superjump locations are placed in the most strategically logical location for getting to the most strategically beneficial area, that it was an intentional game addition? Bungie put the superjumps in, and waited for each one to be discovered, so they could lean back in their chairs, arms folded, and marvel at the ingeniousness of their slaves.
Oh yes, and before I forget :
2. Superjumps can be performed by anyone, with adequate practice. If you learn how to superjump, you will have an advantage over people who have not taken the time to practice the technique. Lets take Corky from Life Goes On, and put him in the ring with Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan would most likely win, because he has taken the time to practice and perfect his techniques, whereas Corky would run around aimlessly, shooting at whatever moved, with no apparent strategy in mind. Yes, the more skill a person has, the more likely they are to succeed.
So keep practicing! Then, when you finally perfect your superjumping technique, you'll rocket through the air screaming "WHOOP WHOOP!" or something to that effect, and you'll realize what you had been missing out on!
.S., I have no idea how to superjump. But I'm practicing!
Wow, i can't believe people even post things like this. If the superjumps were intentionally in the game, then Bungie wouldn't say that they're cheating. And yes we know that anyone can do a superjump provided they practice, but anyone can use standby provided they get the right type of modem. It's cheating, if you do it in a game you'll get reported. It's like saying you should get to take 3 steps in basketball because you're able to do it. Just cuz you can do something doesn't mean it's within the rules. Anyone who has competed in real sports (especially any kind of fighting/combat sport) knows there's lots of ways you can cheat, you're just not supposed to. Cheatin just ruins the point of a game, competion and fun, how's it fun for either team when one of them cheats? WHOEVER INVENTS THE GAME GETS TO DEFINE THE RULES, BUNGIE SAYS IT'S CHEATING, SO IT'S CHEATING, AND YOU'RE A CHEATER. BUNGIE YOU SHOULD BAN THIS GUY FOR ADMITTING TO CHEATING, OR AT LEAST TRYING TO CHEAT.
