--Strafejumping is back (duh)
--Rampjumping is in!!! :D:D:D:D:D
--Double-jumping is in!!!! yay!

Grenades/rockets can be fired through teleports. Ummm.. Don't know about that one yet.

More on the way?

This just keeps getting better and better. Seems Raven has done their best work to date on this =) Hope singleplayer delivers also, which I think it will.

Double-jumping as in tele-jumping?

And what is ramp jumping?

true...but if they were trying for q3's feel, that'll probably kill it

I think it will be Q3 feeling with added stuff. I like it. It gives it familiarity, but you still have new stuff to learn and practice on. If it had been a Q3 port it wouldn't have been live for long.

It's when you strafe jump up a ramp, you get some extra height, and can reach places you shouldnt be able to reach.

Hmm, I guess that could be interesting. Seems like a strange thing to put in though - that wasn't in Q2 was it?

Throwing grenades on jump pads seems funny as hell.

I took it not to mean UT style, but Q2 style, where you can double jump up to a ledge or some boxes... not something you can just do on your own.

I agree...q4's awesome.

This sounds pretty much like a positive, slight evolution in Quake III gameplay. I'm pleased, judging just by his descriptions. I mean, the more movement tricks there are, the more skill that is required to navigate the map at a high level. That's good.

ROFL, I'm there. Sounds like a really fun custom map.

Set up some TVs, and five 20x20 foot boxes for people to spawn in.

The room with TVs has four teleporters. The other rooms only have teleporter destinations.

The person in the TV room has a minute to try to kill them using only the TVs.


Really, it sounds like a shitstorm of spam.

Doom 3 has that. I demonstrated it in repTV repisode I.

So is double jumping like in quake2? If you are in front of a crate you can jump on to it if you have high fps?

You can't strafe jump in DooM 3.

Yeah you can. Timing's a little different, but it's there.

Yeah, it's not as fast as Q3.

Everything there seems great. I don't know what double jumping is though.

If you jump on a ledge and press jump fast several times after each other you jump once normal hight then the second jump can be very high and you can get to places that are normally to high to get to. It's from Q2 and I think it is in Q3:CPMA also.
