Hey great tutorial! I never liked soldier until i saw some dude do some awesome rocket jumps so i tried it and by far my favorite class now! Your tutorial is great too! Is there any difference if i jump crouch shoot vs crouch jump shoot?

[Methuselah13]

@Jaesik23a I found that if I crouched after I jumped, I'd sometimes release it too early and end up doing a half-assed jump. But since you should be holding crouch all throughout the jump anyways, either order works fine, it's just personal preference.

I basically learned all the rocket jumping basics on it. Normal jumps, horizontals, wall climbs, big air strafes, etc.

Good video, but basic stuff. Most soldiers probably know this.

You'd be surprised how many don't. But you're right, this is very basic stuff. Nothing really needs to be taught past this, any other advanced jumps are just based on these.

lol he didn't crouch

[shadowsmiley]

oh, crouching! so that's the answer!

[Methuselah13]

Yes you can. Try it. Tap crouch, and IMMEDIATELY afterward jump. Yes, it's unnecessary, but I found myself occasionally shooting the rocket while not crouched, resulting in some bad jumps. This is to make sure that you are crouching before you fire.

But you can't jump while crouching...
