theres too much jumping in this game

[juhas]

look at modern titles where only your aim matters and you can only vault or jump on boxes or something like that and its pretty comfortable. in here you just jump like a monkey and make your eyes explode from all this movement. i dont blame this game its old but it just doesnt work good for me.

From the legendary series that founded the online shooter genre comes the most exciting, energetic, and >>>> fast-paced <<<< free-to-play shooter on the Internet.

Welcome to Quake Live.

That's how games were in 1995-2000. You had to work hard to get good at them.

defrag stream, all jumping all the time! (unless slick map:) ): http://www.twitch.tv/neyoneit

even though, yes q3 has a lot of jumping, it can actually get you in a lot of trouble to be bouncing around mindlessly all the time. theres a noob reflex when under attack to hop around since you think youre harder to hit but leaving the ground just makes you much easier to predict, say nothing of rocketing up in the air when your opponent has a lightning gun that can pin you to the ceiling. so not jumping at the right times can be the skillful thing to do.

I agree Tupley, but after a while you will get used to it.
What you can do to make it easier is to jump with mouse button.

/Bind Mouse2 "+moveup"
Right mouse button will help you jump and it takes less effort :) good luck

Those Doom videos are works of art. They're perfect.

Why is this a good thing?

And please guys, stop insulting all other games just because someone is stating his opinion. He is not saying that quakelive is ♥♥♥♥, he is simply stating that there is too much jumping.

You guys are anxious to just ♥♥♥♥ on all other games and drive the newcomers away from this beautiful game. Learn to accept other games and help the OP's.

Typical fakecore FPS wannabe logic: "Let's make everyone bounce around like a ret@rd on a pogo-stick and make them move a million miles an hour! Then this game will take SO MUCH SKILL".

[RazerAndBlade]

You don't have to jump at all to be good at this game. You actually have more accuracy in your aim if you don't jump..and jumping gives your opponent a greater chance to knock you into the air for a mid-air rocket to the face. But by all means, jump around like a monkey if you so choose.

It's only good to jump to move fast across the map or take shortcuts that require special jumps. Very rarely in a fire fight is a jump the best way to dodge. I've disabled my jump button in the past just to practice dodging. I could disable my jump button now, go into any FFA game and most likely win without jumping.

To dodge lg, sg and rail you want left to right movement. To dodge rockets you want figure eight type movements.

Strafe jumping and good flawless movement around maps takes months or even years to master. Every well designed maps in Quake have special jumps that are difficult to perform that give people that know them an edge. It adds another dimension to Quake that other games don't have. That's one of the reasons quite a few Quake players think fake war games are boring.

This game is made to be fast, and that's why it is one of the best shooters of all time. -_-

[q3.railgun]

Correct, it is meant to be fast paced. It's so you can throw off timings against someone that can outaim you. For example, in CS if you're at goose in Dust 2 and someone rotates from Cat to Long A it's going to take a certain amount of time no matter how fast they move. Instead in Q3/L you can shorten that by a very huge fraction of time by RJ/Strafe Jumps. Also if you know how to perform trickjumps you can get strange advantages over your opponent. It's similiar to how Phoon and LOLYOU get to the oddest spots and people don't expect it.

Q3/L isn't for everyone but movement in these games are some of the best highlights.
