Thought I'd share [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QKxDPEW1oU"]This[/ame], a lesson in rocketjumping. :eek:

Trying that map, I can't even get past that darned first jump :mad:
 
Wow, thats insane... I probably couldnt even do that map, let alone rocket jump lol (horrible at playing soldier)
 
i consider myself a pretty good soldier. but dang... just... sick.
 
I'm impressed by the video; that was certainly a skiled performance, but how useful do you think that really is in combat? It might earn you an advantageous position or two on some maps, but that won't do you any good if you don't know how to use rockets well against the enemy. The other thing is, there's not free health and ammo everywhere in the real thing. That aside, it would be interesting if someone made that map smaller, shorter, but just as difficult for red vs. blue play. Maybe they could make it CTF with a giant chasm of rocket jump obstacles separating the two sides. That would something different, to be sure!
 
The guy who made that video, Wonderwall (or WW as his name was when he was on our turbine server last week) is a very skilled Soldier, possibly one of the best. Played with him when he joined our Turbine server last week, and a few months ago. He is very skilled and uses the rocket jump to get a different approach at fraggin, from the sky!!. his aim was top notch, planting rockets in perfect places at the perfect time to either launch you or blow you to pieces. Saw him take many out in the air (after launching them) with rockets, which is imo the last skill to master as a top soldier.

That map is fun, and will help you get better at rocket jumping, atleast it has for me. :)

Wow I remember him in there. He kept rocket jumping onto the battlements. It was sick.
 
lol he's probably tried it a couple million times. but still.. its awesome

on the youtube replys, he said he practiced the map for about 1 hour, then went through it in about 15 minutes. although, the creater of the map said wonderwall helped test the map, so i'm guessing he played it longer than 1 hour. still, hes really good a rocketjumping.
 
wow what an awesome jumper he must have alot of time in his hands lol

Hah! Nice.

I wouldn't even try myself. These days (since the splash damage change) I miss like 50% of my rocketjumps due to lag anyway.
 
Sorry AWPerator, I suppose I need to use search functions more. :(
Seems I can't post a thread without redundancy somehow.

Anyone had any great experiences using rocket-jumping? I'm a fairly inexperienced soldier, mediocre aim, etc, but yesterday on warpath, I got a very lucky situation. I was on third point, jumped into the ridge overlooking the point, ran down the slope, and flanked the enemy, who were mostly watching the main tunnel. No sentries were up, I rocket-jumped over a tight mass of enemies, threw a rocket down...

And yes. It was a crit. Boom, five-six kills with 1 rocket. I then retreated down the tunnel, laughing.
 
I downloaded the easy version of that map, it was extremely hard.

lol. i'll need to try these, i used to do the conc/rocket/pipe-jump maps on TF1, was never REALLY good. but i'll like to see how i do on these.
 
Wow. Seriously impressive. I try to use rocket jumping to flank the enemy as much as possible, but this guy's skills are very impressive. I'm going to have to look for that map some time when I'm in the mood for something different.
 
He has a frag video on his account as well. Some very skilled, impressive, rocketeering.

I <3 cr!t rawkitz.
 
Hehe, I love rocket jumping. It is my favorite thing to do on TF2. Mabey I'll finish my rocket-jumping video some day. I'll put some stuff from that map in there if I ever do. I started working on it, but I only got half way done (only did the regular map tricks that I use). If anyone has played against me when I soldier before on 2fort or warpath, then you know. =P
