HOW TO BHOP IN BLACK MESA

[Clarity]

So I figured something out while playing through again.

If you run straight at full speed, then jump, then hit crouch, then let go of W, and start strafe jumping... you will pretty much ice skate around the map!

This would be pretty cool if I'm the first one to find this. I looked for bhopping in discussions and all i saw was that you were unable to. This is just kinda a different version of it.

It’s identical to the early 32-bit only Source Engine games.

Such as HL2:DM

Never really played that. Thanks for the info.

This is already being used in the speedrun community, but neat that you found that yourself!

I found this out a long time ago.

You don't even need long jumps or what OP has described. It seems to be a bug with their shoddy slide mechanics, but devs didn't care when I told them about it on Discord.

nah ya didn't, but yeah it's not like it filled the forums.
as said above it's due to the new slide.

thought all the pre-orange box sauce games actually just made you press forward to gradually gain speed.
