That is one of the reasons I stopped playing Halo. Although the jumping is strategically sound, it just makes the gameplay feel so silly and dorky. Yes, it's harder to hit a guy when he's jumping but it just seems stupid when everyone is jumping around like crickets all over the terrain.
I'm not a big gamer but it seemed to me like the jumping strategy first became popular in Half-life and then spread from there (I believe Counterstrike used the same engine from Valve that Half-life used?).
I've never tried Gears of War - but if there is no jumping them maybe I'll get back into online FPS games.
