A Guide to Bunny Hopping

Important: If you find the bunny hop or speed jump a cheat then we recommend you do not continue reading this guide. The argument that it is a cheat is a controversial one, and we encourage the discussion of it on our forums or in the comments at the end of this article. Please note we do not encourage cheating, we see bunny hopping as a bug which takes a lot of skill to master. We do however agree that it changes the whole features of a map, inparticularly the combat zones. What are your views? please feel free to try it out and sound your views on the forums. Enjoy the Guide.

The first thing you gotta understand is that this is very hard and requires a lot of practice, for me even to start doing it was about 15h and to get better at it about 30h. So it's important not to become discouraged or bored of it, like a good computer game, when you finally accomplish it the rewards are worth it. Another thing you may also discourage you is the fact you need good fps (frames per second), I recommend around 70 to do it, if you have jumpy fps then it will mess up jumps and make it hard to keep speed. Another problem is ping and lag; a HPB can do it, its just a lot harder...

Okay on to the good stuff. The main thing that will be a surprise to you is that the forward key is not used at all, this will prolly be the hardest thing for you too learn. Getting use to not using forward in a jump is hard and even I don't understand why it works better. The keys used are strafe left and right, mouse look and your jump key (I recommend mwheeldown).

Basic Technique

Strafe left and look left about 25 degrees with mouse, before hitting the ground hold down right strafe button and look right 25 degrees then jump, but you got to get the timing of the jump right too. This is very hard to do if you use your keyboard to jump, I use mwheeldown to jump but only for bunny hopping, I have made a little script to bind mwheel to jump and then bind it back to slot2 (pistol). When you start the bunny hop and you get the timing right on jumps you hear a special double jump kinda sound, but don't always trust it cause when you are going kinda fast the sound stops.

Exercise 1

Map de_dust (easiest map for bunny jumping). Start as CT, and go to large open area after the ramp. I want you to try doin a circle, it's how I started doing it. To do a circle you only need to use 1 strafe key, so if you are going to do a left circle you hold left, so the technique is, hold down left whole time, and look left in like 25-45 degree angles and time your jumps, this exercise really helps with your timing. If you actually start to get it try to swap over to right circle and do it that way, and if you can get some decent speed try to bolt of doing left then right instead of circles.

Exercise 2

Map de_dust again. Now I want you to be CT again, and try to use the ramp this time, you know you are good at timing the jump when you can go down the ramp without messing up. Ramps can be very useful for getting extra speed. So go down it doing left then right, or maybe left left then right which I found easier to do. This should be your first feel of speed if you get your timing right on the ramp.

Exercise 3

Advanced ramp: Now be either T or CT and I want you to try to go down the big ramps that lead to the underneath tunnel, T side is much harder because if you can't control yourself properly and you will hit your head on the ceiling. But the CT side is fine. This really does test your timing, but if you can pull it off you can get down to other end in like 2 seconds

Key points:

1. No forward key
2. Don't use spacebar or keyboard key to jump with, I use mwheeldown.
3. Change strafe and mouse direction before you hit ground.
4. One bad jump timing and you will lose all the speed
5. Fps is important, so in crowed server is very hard ;( and you will always bump into peeps ;(
6. A double left or double right can help sometimes, e.g. holding down left strafe and doing mouse movement and jump twice.
7. It's hard and WILL take a long time.
8. Don't make fun of me cause this guide is crap, cause its very very hard to explain...

Download demos here.... and I just jumped the roof on assault to the bridge.

demo here.... new!

thirdperson view demo!

*NOTE* To play the demos load a LAN game/internet game on either de_dust for the first set of demos... and type playdemo bh and for the assault jump load up assault and type playdemo assault1, getting demos to work is 50/50 chance really, its very dodgy some people it works for some it don't. Just keep trying I guess.... or re-download it.... Also note that you must place the demos in directory C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\cstrike\.

*NEW* If you wanna use mwheeldown as jump BUT you already use mwheeldown as summin else!?!?! I have solved your problem! I myself usually use mwheeldown as slot2 (pistol) so me and my mate made this lovely script ). This script tells you if it is enabled or disabled by saying a message in the top left of the screen. Also a great feature we just put in is if you shoot your gun while the script is on, it turns itself off... you might be thinking why would you want that? Well thing is I have died, 100+ times due to my old script because I would try to get my pistol out in a fight and all I would do is jump in the air which made me kinda angry. So this script saves ya.

Counter-Strike Bunnyjumping by UrgPurg on 12/21.

Introduction :

If you ever played quake3 on the net, you probably know about the strafe jumping,
and know it makes you navigate much faster.
What people don`t know about this strafejumping, is that it`s a bug in the Quake3
code. Strafejumping makes you jump really fast, and you can reach places you
never imagined

What less people know about, is Bunnyjumping in Counter Strike.
In q3 you jump faster by pressing the forward key, and left/right key at the
same time while your jumping. This is relatively easy to learn, and take some
time to master.
But in Counter Strike on the other hand, very few people know how to properly
gain speed by Bunnyjumping. The method in Counter-Strike is a lot harder to
learn, and requires about 30 hours to be properlied mastered.
The bunnyjumping was first done in Quakeworld, and the method somehow adapted
to Cs.



Basic Technique (taken from Astrochimps own tutorial)

Strafe left and look left about 25 degrees with mouse, before hitting ground
hold down right strafe and look right 25 degrees then jump, but you gotta get
the timing of the jump right too........

Irc Interview:

<.Urgpurg> Hi Astro ! Im writing an article on CounterStrike Bunnyjumping
for counterstrike.xgamers.com. I`ve watched your demoes and read trough your
bunnyjump guide. Are you interested in answering on some questions ?

<[4K^astrochimp]> i can answer questions now ) but in your article
can u link it to my page heh

<.UrgPurg> Ok, who are you and what clan are you in ?

<[4K^astrochimp]> umm i am Astrochimp ) and i am in clan 4k,
www.four-kings.com #4kings on quakenet

<.UrgPurg> Tell me some short info about your clan

<[4K^astrochimp]> umm 4k is prolly #1 UK clan IMO... we were

seaded by CPL as 6th best euro clan witch was nice...

<[4K^astrochimp]> our individual skill is prolly similar to most
good clans... its our mad tactics from our clan leader TheGenius which gives
us the edge.

<.UrgPurg> When did you first learn about Bunnyjumping in Cs ?!?

<[4K^astrochimp]> i learned about bunny hopping from the true MASTER
himself b0b[marine], most of u will know him as [sk]jimbob from QW days....
he was prolly the first peep to learn how to take the QW move into cs. i first
saw him do it back in b4 but i forgot about it.. but back in beta 6.5 i made
good m8's with him and i asked him for a demo... he made the demo and it kinda
showed me how it was done, so i practiced and practied for like 30+

<[4K^astrochimp]> hours and finailly started doing it )

<[4K^astrochimp]> the real big trick that helped me was using mwheeldown
as jump... b0b is an allstar and still uses spacebar

<.UrgPurg> Tell me how to Bunnyjump pretty please

<[4K^astrochimp]> well the funny thing is that u dont use forward
at all... that really confusing at start to peeps.. i still dont understand
why it is better i just accept it heh

<[4K^astrochimp]> really all it is, is more advanced strafe

jumping

<[4K^astrochimp]> basic tecnique is just jump hold left strafe,
look left with mouse a bit, then before hitting ground hold right strafe and
do a mouse twist back towards right before landing

<[4K^astrochimp]> main tip is buy a phat pc so u get 99+ fps like
me ) use mwheeldown to jump... start by doing a circle only.. eg hold only
left or right strafe.. use ramps to get speed... umm watch my demos heh

<.UrgPurg> How often do u use your bunny jumping technic ?!?

<[4K^astrochimp]> umm TBH i dont use it that much... i am not allowed
to use it in any clan games for 4k as TheGenius doesnt think its right... really
the only time i use it is on dust games for some fun heh or in priv games where
peeps wont call me cheat or get abusive with me )

<[4K^astrochimp]> i practice for fun on lan at least 1-3h + just
to learn new tricks

<[4K^astrochimp]> for example i can fullt strafe going backwards
now lol... i have jumped from assault T roof to bridge.. and assault CT roof
to T roof witch i have only done once and it was HARD

<[4K^astrochimp]> in QW u can go much much faster lol... cause
in QW u can jump before u hit the ground making it alot easier to time jumps...
for example

<[4K^astrochimp]> b0b made a map for QW specially for BH

<[4K^astrochimp]> he got summin like 2500 units... and a rocket
goes 900 units )

<[4K^astrochimp]> so he would shoot a rocket and pass it

<[4K^astrochimp]> in cs the maps got too many corners and bumps
to get monster speed.. but goin down ramp on dust i can gi about 10x normal
speed

<.Urgpurg> Do you use any scripts whatsoever ?

<[4K^astrochimp]> alias bunny "bind mwheeldown +jump; developer 1;
echo BunnyHop ON!!!!; developer 0; bind z bunny2"

<[4K^astrochimp]> alias bunny2 "bind mwheeldown slot2; developer
1; echo BunnyHop OFF!!!; developer 0; bind z bunny"

<[4K^astrochimp]> all that does is change my mwheeldown key to
jump then back to slot2 witch is pistol )

<.UrgPurg> What do u know about the history of Bunnyjumping ?!?
Why its possible ,, etc

<[4K^astrochimp]> well from what i gather its a bug in the HL code

<[4K^astrochimp]> since i think HL is a advanced form of q1/q2
engine

<.UrgPurg> Do the other clan members in 4K bunnyjump ?!?

<[4K^astrochimp]> ya about 3-4 i think

<[4K^astrochimp]> i tought 2 in person hehe

<[4K^astrochimp]> imo there is prolly about 15-20 bunnyhoppers
in the UK

<[4K^astrochimp]> well at the time of 6.5 being released i was
pretty angry with CS and TBH i was bored of it... so when i saw b0b do it i
was interested.. he said it was hard but me and my m8's wanted to learn it bad!
so we spent like 3h every nite together on our server trying to do it..

<[4K^astrochimp]> it was very frustrating but we got there in the
end )

<.UrgPurg> Do u got anything to add to this interview?

<[4K^astrochimp]> many of u think that Bunnyhopping is a cheat,
and to me it isnt at all. u fight back with that cs is a realistic game etc..
but TBH have u ever seen a cop or a SAS dude jump around when being shot at
or even jump as high as u do in cs??!? no is the answer lol... BH is just a
lil trick and its kinda fun.. most BH's dont use it in clan matches just cause
it causes a big uproar etc.. but i think it should be called a cheat

<[4K^astrochimp]> i made a damn gudie for u lot to learn it...
so its not like we keep it a secret..

<.UrgPurg> Well thank you for your time, if we have any more questions,
where can we find you ?!?

<[4K^astrochimp]> #4kings on quakenet would be the place
