How to play back Q4 demos
(If someones already spoken/posted vids about this i apologise, but personally ive seen no mention or material of this movement technique yet) *edit* just seen some posts/a vid about it now, no demos tho ;)
First of all, this isn't a trick jump demo really, the main idea was to just show the concept of crouching after jumping which i refer to as 'sliding', and even then it doesn't show all the stuff you can do with it (or as well as you can do it, its new to me as well) as dm1 is a pretty small. A larger map may have shown better/more continuous results, but there's still a lot of nice movement around dm1.
Sliding grants you far greater control compared to straife jumping alone, by being able to delay the next jump you can 'slide' into ideal position and carry on without loosing speed, where just straife jumping alone would have easily made you hit the wall.
Personally i see the main advantage is in its control, in a straight line straife jumping is as quick if not quicker, so it seems you have to find the right balance.
It's also useable in conjunction with jump pads, and don't forget to crouch under those annoying low roofs at speed :x
Anyway enjoy, im sure some people will learn something.
