Me too. I usually end up blowing myself up after multiple attempts.

I'm horrible at rocket jumps...that looks like a fun game...more skill than luck.

It's rather easy, jump and then immediatly shoot (of course to the ground :P) but not at the same time :D

And you can variate with this, if you wait till maximum jumping height the blast will do you less damage but you won't jump that far either :thumbs:

[Suicidal]

lol, get a GM basketball league going. heh heh heh.

yeah. for more height just have to jump first, though it should feel like shooting and jumping at the same time. and if you crouch right after you jump (and hold until you start to fall), you will go just a little higher.
It's not like serious sam where you actually jump higher (but more straight up) if you jump right after you shoot the ground.

For more distance (and less height): running start, jump, peak height fire a rocket straight down (as said ^). Actually, shooting behind you is better, but turning around isnt always smart. And yeah, less damage. Good for getting up to spawn in orange.

I was playing once this map, it is hell!That guy have amazing skillz.Soldier or Demoman are most difficult charachter for me.


p.s. I hope that this two ckarackter get last upgrade, because they are strongest and that will never be fair play against others...

[Suicidal]

they most likely will be near the end, but the weapon "upgrades" usually lean towards "its kinda better, but its kinda not"

Sniper or demoman will most likely be last

[Digital Fighter]

i think next upgrade will be for soldier :o

[Death Engineer]

I was finally able to rocket jump up to the battlements off the step on 2fort last night after blowing myself up trying about 4-5 times. It seems that it's all about the timing. Now I'll have to try it in some real action rather that just a server with 2 other people in it.

[Suicidal]

heh heh. practice makes perfect. Now go jump up on the bedroom door in toyfort :D

That's not completely true, the weapons aren't necessarily better but support a different goal/type of gameplay.

For example the 2nd medgun of the medic (Kritz or something like that ^^). This charge combined with a good demoman/soldier can really turn the tide, me and Nom had about 8 kills in one charge. It's just that a lot of people don't know how to use the new stuff @ the best.


Valve made the right choice that every new weapon has a negative counter-effect and will make you choose what type of gameplay fits the best. It's the only way to keep the game fun for newbies.:)

Yea, for Medic and Pyro was weapon upgrade usefull( except this Medics kritiker :rolleyes: ) , but i was really disappointed when i got "Natasha" for Heavy

I love that thing, rampage for sure in the right hands :P

[Death Engineer]

I heard the sniper was coming next. But that they wouldn't do just one class at a time again.

[MORGANA]

Ahhh, when you have "uber" you have power for some seconds, but if you have "kritiker"you are death before start if oposite have some good sniper, demoman..etc

Yeah, that's kinda what I meant...:rolleyes:


You can do that with a Soldier? I've only seen the Demoman up there.


Anyway, yeah, it takes three rockets (two if the first ones a crit). youre about dead when you get up there though. But i didnt think it was possible until i tried it. still fail doing it every now and then though (its hard when the second or third ones a crit).

Eh, maybe it was slighly low-grav. Its been a long while since I played this level. I should test it.

[Death Engineer]

Nah. One rocket can get you up there from the sloped entrance ramp just below the battlements. You have to jump first and then fire the rocket. The timing is everything.

This is easily the most hated thing when I'm sniping and a soldier comes up out of nowhere to blow me away. So I like to return the favor. :)
