Team Fortress 2 Running Taunts

My friends and I were playing TF2, and we discovered what you could call a glitch. Fortunately, it's one of those glitches that can't be exploited or taken advantage of.

You begin by taunting, and before it locks you in third person, you jump. So essentially, you're taunting, then pressing the jump key very quickly after you hit the taunt key.

We got quite a laugh out of it, and at some point, we started recording demos. The footage in this video is from my perspective/demo. I pieced it all together and put some music over some of the clips.

Clips also feature us running after heavies with baseball bats, and various other funny events besides the taunt glitch. Also a critical rocket kills an enemy through the thin floor near square, even though that bug was allegedly fixed before we recorded this.

We (by which I mean ECSA, simply our title, you could say) are just a group of friends that hang out, have fun, and play games; Listed under the ECSA heading in the credits are the ones featured in the video, not necessarily all of us who hang out.

I didn't list all the pubbers for obvious reasons, but some of their names appear on screen anyway. Server was a 24/7 2fort Multiplay.co.uk (03 I think) TF2 server.

Edit: Forgot to list the songs used, so here:
MC Hammer - Can't Touch This (Engineer)
House of Pain - Jump Around (Scout)
überzone - Funny Noise (Scout at Stairs)
Boots Randolph - Yakety Sax (Scouts, and heavies)
E.S. Posthumus - Pompeii (Heavy backstab)

Then a vent recording of Zim at stairs (z00p chuckles), then a vent text-to-speech bind we thought sounded cool :P

Switching weapons and taunting isn't patched. (found that out accidentally yesterday). If you switch weapons right after taunting, you'll taunt with another weapon. I don't know if jumping still works though.. Can someone confirm that?

[DevgruSEAL]

@zinodikudu That's true, and it's been that way for a long time.

Running taunts still work, but you have to fall off a platform's edge to do it. i.e Run towards a ledge, taunt, and you should slide off onto a lower floor, and it has the same effect as running taunts.

I can also be taken advantage of in the case of the Heavy Weapons Guy (his official name) and the Pyro.

- The Pyro flings a firebomb, and while running, that would be insane.

- In the case of another HWG, they taunt at the same time, and pretend to have fake guns. Fake guns that can kill each other. Now try moving like that.

@Narudude360 That has never worked. Killing players by doing the running taunt with the pyro shotgun was the first thing we tried, and it never killed anyone, even standing at point blank range.

[ekkkkkknoes]

@Sarkavonsy No god damn! But what about the soldiers equalizer taunt?

[Sarkavonsy]

@ekkkkkknoes Ten months ago that comment's question was answered.  Are you selectively illiterate?

[ekkkkkknoes]

Is it possible to do taunt kills with that?
