well, not a player ban for quickswitching… but the action. I’m considering a “in real life” / “programmer circumvention” rule… something the likes of if you can’t do it in real life then that’s bad, and one where the game was built some way for a reason, so it should stay like that… both bhopping and quickswitching would be in the scope of the “irl” one, coz any rifleman knows your gun doesn’t reload if you just touch another gun and bhopping don’t quite work… and i def. never saw that at a track meet… and the programmer intentions… they made the awp reload longer coz it would maek more sense, and quickswitching is dodging that. quickswitching would fall into a similar category as mousewheel shooting, too… just food for thought…

Sorry but if your trying to make it realistic, your going to have to remake the whole source engine. Maybe make the glock a one headshot kill from 1 foot away, or being able to survive 5 bullets in your body, or catching a nade with your hand and possibly dying when you have 100hp. Like most players Quickswitching is infact a reflex. I cant scout/awp without doing it or sometimes even use a rifle, and when i dont do it its usally cause i *edited* up doing it or i miss the wheel. Also i agree bunny hopping is lame, but who says that valve infact did not bother to fix the bunny hopping technique and actually wanted it part of the game? Look at other FPS games bunny hoping in them is usually impossible. Like in TFC they had bunny hopping in that and it was totally legit, TF2 bunny hoping is still legit. Quake, bunny hopping is legit. If valve wanted to make it so you couldnt bunny hop, quickswitch it would just be as simple as taking 3 programmers. Putting them in a room, and telling them what to do. Im fine with bunny hopping being banned, but quickswitching is just going way to far, and its not like bunny hopping where only people who practice doing it can do it. Anyone can quickswitch regardless if their new to source or a amateur at it. Just my 5 cents on this discussion. Bunny hopping banned? I could care less since im not very good at it. Quickswitching being banned? Thats like prohibitting Sikhs to carry their Kirpans. Regardless if its a knife or not.
