lens flares are a forced reddit mechanic. battlefield games around 3 started using it, battlefield series itself being a reddit game.
bf2 was a reddit game. one of the first reddit games. instead of devs just doing their thing making a coherent virtual existence, they started listening to whining 12 year olds and man children complain about shit like 'nade spam' and 'bunny hopping'
back then if you were a manchild, you had a $1800 LCD with 80ms of input lag, and riced computer with highest graphics and bf2 aiming mechanics never worked anyway. and your framerate was 61 (and even then using flawed metrics like mean) OMG SO HIGH. so of course they blame players instead of the terribly poor quality of the game and their systems (never insult a manchild's system, he will defend it until this death). in competent games like quake 3 and ut99, no one gives a fuck about jumping... it makes you easier to hit as youre moving in a predictable trajectory.
so then in bf2 after the fix, you jump one or two times, then you cant jump anymore for 10 seconds. fortnite, being a prime reddit game has the exact same mechanic from the get go. in fact thats a good example of what this thread is about. jump fatigue is just ingrained in everyone's minds after so many generations of reddit games that people just add it into their game from the start now or its in the engine or whatever (fortnite had it at the start or at least the first few months when i played it)
imagine if they added this shit in mario, nobody would play it.
its literally ONLY there to appease retards who claim its for """balance""" reasons, when they have no fucking clue or coherent idea of what a balanced game should be. the only reason the term "balance" is brought up, is when faggots realize they're just complainy dick suckers and need to come up with a new alibi for their bullshit
if you look at the fortnite forum, you will see 99999999 people complain about the latest fad issue, while in reality only around 0.01% of actual players understand basics of how games work like flick aim ride side peek peakers advantage etc. if you actually think they know what balance is, youre fucking retarded
fortnite literally got rid of teamkilling because dildo fucking retards complained about it, while i played like 2000 games of that horse shit and only ever got tked one single time. meanwhile, now when you get in a fight 4 faggots jump on you with no coordination and just spam shoot around a single corner while shooting each other and do 5000000 damage the moment you peak
if you want to detonate a C4 in bf2, you couldnt do it while jumping, because that was a consequence of "fixing" bunny hopping - you cant shoot while youre jumping or nade while your jumping or whatever. an example of straight up gimping your game to fuck to "balance" things (honestly, i never played that game seriously, i only went on to hack or glitch on walls or suicide bomb with C4, the suicide bombing being gimped due to reddit mechanics).
but why is lens flare a reddit mechanic? because its forced bullshit. its like each time someone is trying to snipe you, you get some stupid lens flare, regardless of any position of the sun or whatever. its forced retarded gimmicky shit like in far cry 2 when you get attacked every minute by a buggy with niggers in it. its just cringe. it only exists to "fix" some """balance issue""", while not fitting in with the game at all.
>but reddit didnt exist yet
yes the words reddit and SJW didnt exist back then, but i still called them faggots. they are essentially the same thing, they were even SJWs too as they kicked you if you just typed nigga in chat
