Title: SpeedJumping/TrickJumping
Post by: HITMAN on November 18, 2007, 03:52:41 PM
I notice certain players are able to leap fast and far. My first assumption would be that they are using a cheat program or something. I'm trying to figure out how is this possible? I'd love to learn how to do it. If there is a site that a teaches this, I'd appeciate someone sending a link

ITS CALLED STRAFE JUMPING

jumping at a diagonal repeatedly, and alternating the direction

this is a lot of stuff, not just strafe jumping, mostly for defrag :/

I've been wondering how one could temporarily disable strafe-jumping (ie, govern it much the way sprinting is governed in RtCW). I've noticed a few player mods (the only one that comes directly to mind is the rail-gun based freeze tag mod; sorry I can't remember the name) that completely restrict it, but that seems to slow the gameplay down a far too much. On the other hand strafe-jumping when against a skilled player can make all weapons except the machine and rail gun virtually useless.

Is this a stupid idea?

My advice would be to look up "Genesis the Beginning" on youtube.  You should come up with a great Tricking/Strafe tutorial video.

I checked that video out. Its off the hook but the moves are hard to get down correctly. Just need to practice some more.

It takes a good amount of time getting the timing and movement right, and I can promise you that there are times when you feel that you will never get it right. But then, all of a sudden you realise that you are jumping longer, you are running faster and you are aiming better...so there you go, the first rule of defrag: never give up.

You can also join #rainbow on irc.freenode.net if you want to talk to other players who are also doing defrag to get some more tips and advice.
