Jump tutorial for newer players on q2rdm2, simple jumps

[VaeVictis]

my first tutorial, be gentle mostly made it because jehar was saying he doesnt like q2rdm2 because of the jumps, when i think q2rdm2 jumps are very simple and a fun part of the map

hope it helps some one

Note: if some one has trouble playing the demo, try switching over to opentdm, my client runs opentdm servers by default, but i did check and made sure it ran on an unmodified q2kicker client

nice guide to the simple q2rdm2 jumps.
One question: all of the jumps you show are very easy for me, except I can't make the double jumps.  I can DJ almost every time, but I never jump high enough to make it.

off the crate to YA, you can do it a couple ways, if you try to go off the corners of the boxes to me its kind of inconsistant, thats why in the tutorial i say use the flat edge basicly double jump straight at the boxes, and circle to the left as your double jumping to fly towards ya

also, make sure your close enough to the small crate when you start the double jump, or else the jump will be too loose

i miss the jump from the boxes up to the ledge quite often, most of the time i miss it its because i was not close enough to the boxes when i started the jump so i dont get the height needed

i dont know exactly what you mean, but i hope this helps a little

make sure your cfg has:

cl_maxfps "120"
gl_swapinterval "0"

this will give you a full 120 FPS,and will give you the most possible height out of all your jumps.


heres a demo of all the jumps on q2rdm2 being done,with the exception and example of the jump from cg to rail.enjoy.

yeah thats the one i cant do also its too annoying for me to practice

Got cg to rail. The hard one. I've only landed it twice, and this one took about 15 minutes to finally get it, so no demo (it's too long):

could cut it with keygrip i believe

also, VERY nice lol ive never been able to land that one... but i hardly ever try so thats one of 2 q2rdm2 jumps i cant get, that and going from CG to the back hallway to GL by skipping the stimpacks, im not very talented with movement and i just try learning jumps i could do consistently for duels

one i didnt include in my tutorial demo (which i will admit sucks lol) is mh to rail, its very easy and i only miss it like a fifth of the time

Works great, thanks.

That jump seems tough. So far the only way I've landed it is using a shortcut: sliding off of that small ridge (black with a white cross) to make it to the platform.

I'm sure you could land cg to rail if you practiced. Probably not worth your time though if you don't like to do jumps for fun.

useless but still a jump.

Can be done by dbl jumping the cross,  but easier to stick it this way.

haha thats so cool, i just learned it real quick faster to double jump it, and i might be able to actually make some use of it

when you told me about the jump talking on the server i thought you meant the long jump that skips the stimpacks where you land on the cross on the far end if you dont get enough distance x) never even knew this one existed...

awesome little jump easy, gives you a surprising position, and funny
thanks man
