Well, after a year vacation and finally giving up on the half dozen or so people I asked to take over q3schools I’ve decided to come back out of the wood work and update this old beast of a site again. To all my faithful viewers over the years, I apologize for my extended absence and I hope you understand what I mean when I tell you, life caught me by the pants and ran off.

Since my absence the site demo inbox has been flooded with demos left patiently for me to post. I will get to them over the next week orso. I don’t have a lot of time but I will use what i have to get caught up. Alot of the demos submitted were from Megaddd, and almost all of them were tricks from Space CTF. So after a brief talk with Megaddd, I decided a Space CTF 101 demo video was in order. Originally I had planned to release a narrated video with lots of background and details. But like i said previously, I just dont have the time to devote to it right now. So instead a trick mixed 3 minute video will have to do.

So.. here it is. Enjoy.

Well if you were wondering if Kimmy has any skill, wonder no more. This set of tricks take skill and alot of practice. The first shot is the common rj off of the lamp post evasion tactic, but the next clip isnt your everyday version. Sure we have all seen it but Kimmy does it in fine style for your viewing pleasure. Watch and learn!

Nothing fancy. Just a alternate way to get from point A to point B. This jump uses the small shelf and the top of the broken archway.

Demo:

These are 3 little easy bitty jumps that if you don’t already know, then you should take the whole 15 minutes out of your life to learn them. The first is just a ricochet rocket jump off a jumpad. This jump is possible from both side with extreme ease. It can be used just as an easy way to get up to this particular point, or could even be used as a juke tactic while running the flag. The second is just a jump from the same catwalk side to the pipe deck between the flag and lightning gun. This was done without strafing, just regular jumps. No strafing skill required to make this jump. This jump could also be used as a stakeout spot or a juke jump. The third jump is also from the catwalk and it is basically just walk off the ledge and land on the lamp on the backside of the flag room below the pipe deck. This particular jump is fantastic for that surprise head shot when the enemy flag carrier comes around the corner and is expecting you to jump off the catwalk when instead your standing on the lamp waiting patiently for him to walk into his demise.

This is a response to a question I received about this specific jump. Q: “Mayheam” how is it possible to jump for around the corner like that jump you did on dm12? I recorded this particular trick in 2 different views at 2 different speeds. The trick is really not that difficult once you learn how to do it. And of course there is a trick to every trick, and the trick here is to jump off the tiny little piece of detail area on the leftside of the jump pad bevel on the second level of dm12. The 3 jump strafe is not actually required to do this trick but it really helps push you in a straight line around that corner. The first time you do it, you’ll get the sensation that you just ran through a wall, and that sensation is not far from the truth.
