qwtf and tfc came out in the 90s and were wildly successful (TFC used to be bigger than counter strike for a period)

Rocket Jumping/Grenade jumping is different. Don't remember Scouts having double jump in classic.

no, but you had true bunny hopping (something that basically doesnt exist in modern shooters and probably never will again), chopping, sharking, conc jumps, rampslides, trimping, etc etc

Say what you want about aiming down sights, but it sure as hell looks better than literally zooming in your vision while still hipfiring.

TF2 was a colossal failure outside of the casual playerbase

while some pros from TFC and QWTF did move to tf2, it was largely rejected by the community at large for ripping out the essence of the genre in exchange for a casual hat collectathon

I guess I should ask what those mean? I did say grenade jumping is different from advanced movement like jet packs, double jumps, and wall running. Concussion is a grenade in TFC if I recall.

ADS was great in games where you actually needed to aim and fire in bursts and stuff, but nowadays when very few games actually simulate even somewhat realistic gun mechanics, it's a bit annoying. Like, you can hold left-mouse to fire but if you don't ADS your bullets go everywhere and if you ADS your bullets are 100% accurate...

true bunny hopping gives you a speed increase compared to normal movement

in TFC 1.6 you could bhop up to 170% movespeed (1.5 and earlier had no cap on momentum), past that you were throttled back down to normal momentum and had to rebuild your speed back up. this made maintaining perfect speed absolutely integral to your playstyle in knowing how much to strafe with each jump to avoid losing all your speed

chopping had two different forms, one of which was completely useless and the other was actually banned in league play for a bit iirc. the first form of chopping was simply crouching while moving, which was faster than walking normal but slower than bhopping so it was totally useless. the second form was crouching while bhopping. it made your hitbox incredibly janky and removed much of the skill needed to avoid the 170% speed cap. this technique was usually banned in league play as it was basically an exploit

sharking was a technique where you could your momentum while in water (a scout or medic could conc, hit the surface of the water, and retain their momentum rather than being slowed down from being in water)

rampsliding was simply concing into a ramp and sliding up it, crouching at the top to not get stopped and make impressive plays using the carried momentum from sliding up the ramp, such as sliding around a demomans pipes or to catch a dropped flag in midair

trimping was jumping into ramps to give you a higher jump and momentum, almost like a rampslide minus the concing

the amount of mechanical skill involved in TFC is unreal and will probably never be seen again

it is by far and away the most indepth shooter ive ever played with an incredibly high skill floor and ceiling

chopping is the only technique that is arguably a bug/exploit and like i said it was usually banned

If they were intended or sanctioned they would have put them in TF2. Seems like they we're unintended consequence of goldsource predecessor to source.

It's a shame we'll probably not see something like a Jedi Knight game again. I can't imagine the controls of that game if they also added ADS and sprint.

It's like BxR and Super Jumps in Halo 2. Just bugs people latch on to and get taken out in sequels.

ADS was kinda cool and nifty at first, but I'm really sick of it now. Games like 007 Nightfire and Unreal Tournament 1999 prove you don't need it.

Sprinting, I don't have a problem with tbh.

in tfc valve made specific fixes/patches towards the movement options in the game rather than outright moving them

they were intended

they are not present in tf2 because the game was meant to be extremely casualized

the game as a whole is much slower compared to classic and was stripped of most of the more difficult mechanics from qwtf/tfc in order to make the game as accessible as possible

CS 1.6, HL1, and other games ran on a different engine. When they made source, they changed it so the engine worked differently. If they kept making games using goldsource, bunnyhop and everything else would still be there.

cs:s and csgo have both had true bunnyhopping but were patched out

not engine related

tf2 was babyfied on purpose to sell hats

That doesn't change the fact the game was babyfied purposefully, not because of the engine
