DooMer wrote:um, yes there is. Its a little harder to do now. instead of holding jump mid air you have to time it correctly as soon as you hit the ground. I think n00bs tried it for 2 secs and panicked when they thought they removed it.

One of the ctf maps also has some boxes stacked up. You have to double jump to get up them, and its a quick route to the flag. not an easy task for rookies.
I've found a way to jump around curves now and gain massive speed. The technique is pretty much the CPM/QW-ish technique, but instead of holding only the strafe key in the desired direction to turn, you hold forward too, as you turn the mouse in that direction.

I guess you could say it's pretty much the same technique that you use in Quake III to jump in large circles around a room, but it's accelerated and easier to perform in Resurrection of Evil. Pretty neat. Probably useful in CTF.

Game, anyone? :)

So i went back to Electronics and tried to buy it there, guy just said oops put out too early, then they removed them. I think they should've sold them to me, douchebags.
Same thing happened to me on March 30. :)

At Wal-Mart too.

It really would be cool if they modelled this guy after the DOOM II box art, like they did the DOOM 3 XBox promotional stuff.

Cripes your right. Shows how much I equate Doom3 with the Xbox.
