Quake 2 Jump Maps...

[Le Ray [Q2C]]

I've seen a lot of guys talking about Quake 2 Jump Maps.


Can someone explain to me what this is all about?

[Stah]

there's a kind of server side mod that is just about trick jumping. What i've seen was kind of a race, with trenches that you can jump over olny with some tricks, boxes, fences and stuff, but i've never played it, i just had a look...

[Le Ray [Q2C]]

Hmmmmm....
I see.

What is that trick jumping? How do you do double jumps and triple jumps?

[Stah]

double jump : let's say tou run up a small box - tap jump key twice as you were going to bounce also of the boxe's edge. It should give you extra vertical speed.

bunnyhop : while running around the map keep jumping - press&hold jump key while your'e in the air, this will make you jump as soon as you touch the ground. Now to gain some extra speed strafe left and right (one jump - strafe left, second jump - strafe right, next jump - left and so...). MORE SPEED - while strafing left - turn your mouse to the left a bid, strafe right - a little turn to the right. You should feel it aftre a while

seek for some trikjump demos made in q2dm1 (it has it all ) Scandinavian guys such as Purri do magic there

basically for the jumps like stah mentioned above you have to use different fps to achieve certain jumps etc..
for tripple's mostly a fps of cl_maxfps 55
for doubles : 60 fps or 22
for circle jumps 60fps etc ..
its best you bind your keys to these fps for completing the map faster without stoping to type it in everytime.

the basic idea's that go with the mod is for the player/s to complete a map in the fastest time possible , for every map theres the top ten fastest times the more lst's you get or the more maps you finish you get rewarded with a better rank out of everyone , hope that made sense

jumps have been around since the start of quake2 but only in the recent years a mod has been brought out to tackle the mass crowds that play it still , its pretty much the only mod i play now with my conection suffering on most servers now.

you can find out more infomation about this mod at :

q2jump.wireplay.co.uk/modules.php?name=JumpGuide

also on q2scene.net theres some demo's to give you a rough idea of how its played , you may need the map that they completed to view the demo however

for the demos :
q2scene.net/ds/index.php?op=d2&id=6

and for the map/s if you dont have them to view the demo :

hope this helped out a bit .

I've uploaded some Purri demos here (and other stuff).

These are not primarily jump demos but duel demos, cuz Purri is one of the finest Q2 duel players on the Planet.

Of course he does a lot of jumping in these.
If you have never seen him play, LeRay, you gotta watch that.
That's godlike Q2 playing style.

provi is another of the greats in my books and yes purri is my fav dueler also grieve

watch some of Cooller's demos , he plays q3 but is one of the best if not the best in the world .

[draxi]

are u guys saying that purri is the best jumper?

[Derimok]

no SK3L3T0R , what we are trying to say is he's one of the best duelers (deathmatch) in the world of quake2 and his style is what makes him one of the best , He nails pretty much any jump on "the edge" and combines that with speed~ ..

if your asking me who my fav jumper is , wootwoot
there is better out there, but he's the only mastermind ive seen to believe it

[draxi]

yeh, wootwoot rules the q2jumping...like on wireplay q2jump, players practice like hell to beat him. And he like, a month break and back setting the highscore..and i took a week break and when i started again, i was jumping like a noob...thats why i stoped jumping 24/7...

[Neur0]

There a basic jump guide on the site along with shitloads of maps in the download section.

If you really wanna know, just check it out

q2jump.wireplay.co.uk

I'm to blaim

[draxi]

hmm...didnt think u would know what jump is all about Neuro.

lmao, cuz u aint the guy who runs the most famous jump server, nah..never!...

even though i got bored of jumping for now, i maybe come back when i get a better line!
