"pogostick" "jump-gunning"

First off, this is not an accusation, just an attempt at some clarification/answers.

I've noticed alot of the the really good gunners/squads tend to have this "pogostick" jump-gunning thing going for them and I'm dying to find out what it is. The reason I say pogostick is because the player looks to be in the standing still position (straight-backed) but is jumping laterally at the same time. I've tried repeatly using different characters to mimick this movement but I can't do it.

My first thought is a game controller like the "Claw" or something with programmable buttons but I cannot confirm this as I, nor anyone else I know, have this controller or one like it.

Can anyone enlighten me on this?

You do it, you just don't know it. You don't notice it on your screen but other players can see it.

Yep, exactly. If you look in 3rd person you kinda see it.

you can set any thing to setting on the keys sample scope in is ' you like to use insert-key thats ok but this double jumping is a bet lam don't be one of them ok.

Everyone does the double jump. You just don't know you do it. You cannot see it from your screen at all because there is no lag when looking at yourself. Everyone lags in multiplayer games, that is what causes the double jump in df. I constantly jump when I am playin, it makes me harder to hit and I have better aim because when I am in the air I can get my crosshairs tight. There is a way to do the double jump almost everytime if you are a skilled jumper. It makes you way harder to hit because it makes it look like you are moving when you are really not.

Messing with the settings is not cheating in anyway. If it was they wouldn't have it so you could change them.

My jump key is set to Ctrl so I always have my pinky on it. A long time ago when I played df2 my jump was space and I noticed that my hand started to hurt after awhile.

Let me guesse: You all play with the arrows?LOL

When playing with A,S,D,W (when using a qwerty Keayboard) you have much more buttons u can use. the SHIFT, CAPS LOCK, Letf CTRL, Q, E ,R ,F, Z, X, C, TAB, and youre thumb goes on the spacebar. I play with this config for ages, ever since DOOM1 came out.

I use the arrow keys,my night vission is the "INS" botton and my jump is the shift key.Add that up and put in a nice scrool wheel mouse and you have every thing right there and do not need to move your hands at all.


As for the jumping thing.Naw,tis not a cheat.Well unless the jumper is jumpeing 50 ft in the air then thats the lame jump cheat.But if its just the regular jump then tis cool.That tactik is used to alow you to get your crosshairs zoomd back in so more of your rounds land on target.



ooooooo,and HOWDY folks,lol.

I never used the awsd configuration.
I would like to have learned in the early days because I found weapon switching a nightmare using scroll mouse, however I am now well able to do all the things as fast as an ASWaD player because it is what I have learned to become competent at.
I have a 5 button mouse too and the left thumb button takes me straight back to primary weapon from whatever im messing about with. Right one I use for Wilco.

My jump is control and crouch is shift, reload is enter.
In more complex games I sometimes set the INsert, Home, Delete keys for something but not often as for most games the need to turn on nightvision, fix jams or whatever is not needed at 0.001 seconds response time and I can find N, B, G or whatever really quick anyway now.

In terms of the Strightbacked Double Jump etc etc, The animation for the character in the air is bolt uprightwith the legs hanging limp. You don't notice that you are doing it because you dont see your legs in first person view and you don't see how laggy you look to someone on 56k (lol) in Australia.

I think its important not to rant about things being lame, if you are not sure what it is thst you are talking about.
Resetting your keys so you can easily achieve a double jump???? Where the hell did you hear that corker?
