Default The Strain of Jumping

Will jumping drain stamina/endurance to prevent a Counter Strike-like PvP experience?

Jumping as a substate disallows many actions. This means even though you can attack on the run I do not believe you can jump and attack. This limits the usefulness of jumping in combat but I do not believe it has a stamina cost at this time. It is very easy to add one if we find we need to for balance purposes.

Not allowing to jump and attack cuts of lot of the games realism and fun. Attacking with a jump provides great psychological (if not tactical) advantage in real combat and I don't see a reason why it should be restricted.
It's fun after all and gives a battle a nice visual twist. World of Warcraft was awesome in this aspect,
and the videos made by the community were most entertaining.

Why not?? And to add this, to the OP, jumping more than once in counter-strike will most times result to a death. You should probably say Unreal-like experiences.

I could deal with jump attacks, IF, it had a stamina/endurance cost for each jump kind of like Everquest did. Otherwise it would be the Counterstrike bunny hop all over again.

As for the jumping in Counterstrike , close range would often end in death if you were a good shot or possessed a shotgun but at a distance those litle bunnys go hippity hop. But more than anything it was just plain annoying.
