If you tried to use the rocker launcher to rocket jump in Doom 1 and Doom 2, you were turned into a bloody mess on the floor.

You weren't if you had an invulnerability power-up, rocket boost/jumping is used in speedruns

Pro tip for the hip kiddies who think rocket jumping started with Quake:

As early as Doom 1, there's a secret that you can access through a rocket jump, in the vanilla game, without engine mods and source ports.

This is probably what 1% of the gaming populace thinks when you say "rocket jump" considering it was a useless tactic in 99% of DOOM, that is, unless you were trying to get under a gate to speedrun a level.

It's a rocket jump and it's in Doom 1. Do I need to keep spelling it out in different ways and using different wording?

something not being widely used doesn't mean it didn't exist, it's like saying DiseaseX never existed because it only killed 1% of the population

Wow, so vague. Rocket Jumping wasn't a feature of DOOM 1 or 2's main gameplay.

Not being a feature doesn't mean it's not there which was what people were saying

Hip kiddies please meet the idiot who thinks a rocket push off a wall = rocket jump.

Not a rocket jump. Did you notice how the character didn't 'jump'? That's a dead giveaway right there. Sure, you could use a rocket to blow yourself across a room, but that's not rocket jumping. Also, I'm pretty sure it was possible to get to that secret without the rocket; you just needed to do a proper strafe run, something that actually was in DooM.

If that kind of rocket jump was in this new Doom, the OP would still be complaining there's no rocket jump.

But it wasn't really intended to be used as means of travel as it is in Quake. What "speedrunners" doesn't really mean anything, you mean using glitches in games is the "normal" way people play games?

Yes. Please use the term "Explosively propelled retrograde motion"

Whether OP is just whining for ♥♥♥♥ and giggles, I don't know.

I was just pointing out there's rocket jumping in Doom 1.

U r confused ...
Rocket jump is a trick of Quake III Arena.

DooM is a single player game ... Kill the Demon - Find the exit

Reset ...
Try again ...

I'm not saying it's the normal way or intended way, but saying it wasn't there is also not true.

There was a time in games where you didn't look up and down and you didn't jump and that constituted a rocket jump at the time, just because it is not the same way in games that came after doesn't mean it's not a rocket jump. You can reach the secret by strafe running, but it is incredibly hard and precise to pull off, where the rocket jump was the intended way to reach the secret.

DooM never had a rocket jump. In fact, DooM never had a jump of any kind. I think you're mistaking it for Quake.

Now that we have Doom and Wolfenstien back im hoping Quake reboot is ID softwares/Bethesdas next project.

I'd prefer quake 5 tbh.
