Back with a bang and new vids

Newbi — Sun, 01 May 2011 23:57:26 +0000

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.

Newbi — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:21:11 +0000

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!

qzca3 middle round house jump

Newbi — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:15:34 +0000

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.

qzctf10 Three easy jumps everyone knows or should

Newbi — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 04:29:39 +0000

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.

qzdm12 Rightside Strafe to Megahealth explained

Newbi — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 20:32:02 +0000

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.

qzdm7 RocketLauncher Room Staircase Shortcut

Newbi — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 01:49:54 +0000

Just a really simple strategy shortcut for getting up to the rocket launcher. For added kicks I added a circle jump to the lamp. This example is quite old but i find it surprising how many people have never seen it.

qzdm14 Red Armor Pit Defense Tactics

Newbi — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 23:19:27 +0000

Just some really simple tactics that really give a player a leg up on this map while trying to cover both quad damage and the red armor. First is the entry, pad to window ledge, second is the red armor theft, pad to red armor, third is a juke tactic, fourth is another juke tactic, fifth is a quad area walk around for that easy shot in the back when trying to chase someone out of the quad room right before quad damage spawns.

qzctf1 Mid jumps both ways

Newbi — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:37:33 +0000

Two simple jumps for qzctf1. The first jump is a strafe jump of sorts that uses the details of the map to allow you to jump across the middle area where the red armor spawns. The second jump is the rocket jump version of this jump and in this specific jump I’m demonstrating the ease of this jump by doing the rocket jump nearly vertical at something close to 90 degrees.

qzdm8 Cross Strafejump

Newbi — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:06:55 +0000

I really don’t understand why but every time you get into a debate with someone about trick jumping and how good/bad you are at doing it, this particular jump gets brought up. Its not easy, but its not super hard either. So I’m posting it up just for the simple fact that I can.

qzdm12 The Staples

Newbi — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:00:42 +0000

This is probably one of the most over looked strategy jumps in the game. The map is properly named “The Dredworks” with its hatred by most quake players. But this hatred can be blamed on 2 very common over sights to the map. The first is control over the BFG10k and the other is knowing how to move around on the map. The first major mistake most players make is staying on the ground floor. This leaves you open to attack from the 2 floors above you. Its a good rule of thumb to remember “if you control the skies, you won the battle”. This is also the case with qzdm12. One of the tricks to roaming the map and staying off the ground floor is to stay on the second level. These 2 jumps were once referred to as “The staples” as they are the basic necessity for roaming and controlling this map. The First is fairly easy, its just using the map details to your advantage. The second is abit more challenging as it requires speed to allow you to jump directly to the next platform. It is also possible to jump directly to the platform on the opposite side of the map as well.

qztourney4 Middle Domination

Newbi — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 14:27:37 +0000

These jumps are middle range difficulty with strategy jumping. The first jump is a true strafe jump over the gap on the top row instead of the commonly used cheat jump which uses the columns and requires little speed. The second jump on the middle floor is also a rudimentary jump as it only requires practice and a decent circle jump. Both of these jumps will aid any player with the control of qztourney4.

qztourney3 Over under jump

Newbi — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 16:52:05 +0000

This isnt the most complicated jump in the game but it will definitely give you that bonus edge you were looking for as well as some finesse to show off to your opponent. It allows you to move from one side of the arena to the other thus creating the “shot in the back” result as your opponent peaks out the middle catwalk looking for you because he heard you jump, but never saw you.
