The thing was, gliding was a very, very useful skill before bhop was so mainstream. What it was is the ability to do a pipejump/concjump/rocketjump/whatever, land, and keep a good bit of your momentum for a while. It was fast paced, but not retarded like uncapped bhop.

With uncapped bunnyhop, you had offenses full of soldiers and HWGuys, simply because they could speed in and out with the flag and take whatever minor damage came their way. Also, a big part of HW back then was that the faster you were moving, the faster you killed something (the nickname for it escapes me). I.e., you'd get a bit of momentum, then fire while jumping forward, and would do more damage. All of the early super-HWs were gauged on their ability to do that (this was before tracers and conc-firing were a big thing), mainly Gup20, Destro, Iceman, Maj.GHOB, ][V][achine, PabloSanLucas, and M0neY.
The HWguy thing was probably the single worst aspect of it. I remember popping onto a mulch server years ago before I knew who Maj.GHOB was and going against him as a hwguy. It was impossible since he moved as fast as you could while also firing the AC. That on top of the increased damage that Wonka talked about meant you didn't last long at all.

i dont have documentation pre-steam of my won id. I know i did play during the first days of won. Steam is just a giant marketing tool. IE, you buy HL2 and HL1 but can only play one game at a time since they are both on the same account, even though you payed for both seperately, you cant use 2 pcs at the same time to play 2 differ games.

How exacltly can i get my old won id? My current steam loggin is still the beta test ID which is your email adress.
