Concing power

Coniferous · 09-15-2008, 12:34 PM

Hey guys its been quite a while since I've played FF due to crashing issues that no longer exist with 2.1 but is it just me or is anyone else having trouble getting height out of their conc jumps. I;ve tried changing my rates and the timing of my jumps and all my HH jumps turn out shallow.

It's all in the timing. Jump later for more height, earlier for more horizontal distance.

The concing took me a while to re-learn it as well, but once you get it down it's cake. If you want height simply jump RIGHT before the conc is set to go off and look in the direction you wish to go.

must admit i find concing much easier after the patch

Concing didn't change though.

You'll want to strafe into the jump a lot to get the bigger/longer jumps. for getting through the yard in aardvark for example. just jump like you're doing a singular bunnyhop from any point in the zig-zag or snaking sort-of movement and move the mouse appropriately. this will help gain speed prior to the jump, since if you're moving faster before the conc goes off, obviously you're going to conc further. make sure you jump late, too, to get more height. if you dunno how to bunnyhop then i doubt this will help, though it would be good to learn either way lol.

You can actually just run in a tight circle before jumping and you gain enough speed to conc across aardvark. It's kind of hard to explain, but if you turn on hud_speedometer it makes sense.

One thing I've been wondering is if crouch jumping helps conc's, rockets, or pipe jumps.

In jumping in particular other games, crouch jumping over your explosive gives a significant boost and you loose less health. I can't tell in FF cause I suck at FF and just run stright at objective firing my nailgun
