they’ll fix it quick. hopefully :)
@Iller
it wasn’t intended, it’s just Valve who do rarely playtesting. e.g. it seams they finally fixed natasha now. after it worked for like 20 days correctly since they released it.^
This update fucked up my rocketjumps :(
Just tried some jump maps, and some really simple jumps don’t seem to work anymore…
Limiting mid-air duck to 2 would be a slight improvement. But still, there must be a better way to avoid duck-spam. This is hilarious!
Scout being able to spam crouch mid-air was just messed up. Shooting his head, as a Sniper, would never, EVER, result in a headshot, as the hitboxes were never synced. So that’s a really blessed change.
But, this update should have only changed Scouts, imo. Rocket jumping was perfect the way it was.
perry/limons in D’ always bloody spams crouch when playing him and he claims it dosnt do anything!! Seriously its like trying to shoot Michael J Fox with him jittering around the place.
Taken from Wonderwall:
“seems like a fairly big rj nerf. chain, wall, and just multiple jumps that require crouch are stunted unless you hold down duck for the entire duration. horrible implementation.
after testing i don’t think people have realized yet that this doesn’t just affect multiple/chain rocketjumps – even single jumps are nerfed in power and speed.
i’m fairly sure that the jump from gpit red spawn to c tower, or the jump from badlands house exit (with the small ammo pack) to spire are now impossible.”
This patch is a massive boost to the sniper and spy, and another kick in the teeth for soldiers, lets just hope valve patch it, maybe by limiting it to two ducks in a jump. Valve are continuing to ruin any fun soldiers can have in matches, let alone what little influence the have left.
They must have ninja fixed it already, because I dont know why your all having so much trouble. Ive just been on the DCSB server and can comfortably crouch jump onto the train, and then up onto the boxes on top the train on badlands cp3. Did it easily as medic, soldier, demo, and engineer.
I did have an issue trying to jump up on a turret as the engineer though.
The only thing I can think of is that you are pressing crouch too early or something, because you lose height like that (something that is noticeable as a scout if you are using a crouch-jump script).
Im not denying that there is an issue, because many people have seen it. But as far as getting on that train goes, I doint have a problem.
Getting on the train on badlands is indeed easy if you keep holding crouch.
However it’s kinda anoying for most people who release crouch after the jump and press it again when they need to.
i find it impossible to get up in window by the 2nd spawn doors on blands…. bs :D
so, its just 50% community that is ****** atm, since half of ppl use one style of jumping and seems there are some kind of hybrid style :D
wow …
I honestly hadnt knoticed this … just tried it now. Impossible to get on turret. Also if I use my jump+crouch bind (I fail RJ’s else cos I suck) I cant get on the train.
If I jump without it I got on about 50% of the time. What a stupid screw up. :)
No, rj binds are fine, they made it harder to do most jumps without a script, and that’s fucked up…
Well I dont actually have an RJ bind. Its just a duck jump bind. For some reason my left pinky doesnt always do what I want it to, and it resulted in alot of failed jumps, RJ or otherwise. My apologies if it offends anyone. I used to hate any form of script but this one saves alot of embarrasment 90% of the time. Ask guys from max2 how bad my jumps were previous to this. I can do it without just not reliably :)
also I just tested a highjump script, apprently gains the max height possible from a crouch jump, no idea if its forbidden (I have no plans on keeping it I preferred my old one) but I made it onto the train everytime …
It would seem Valve have apsolutely no internal playtesting on these small updates, and that all of their playtesting is the general public, in a global release…
At the trains on badlands… if you jump then press forward + duck then you can’t get on the train. But if you press forward and then jump + duck then you can get on it. Interesting new behaviour.
Pro mod to remove all the stupid valve changes pls?
