"an unfair advantage" how silly - everyones got a shield gun

 

[BooGiTyBoY]

Ya no kidding... LOL!!!

If you think these jumps are sick, they're almost nothing compared to boostdodge-shieldjumps-with-berserk distances you can get in UT2003.

DPM has some levels where you must boost dodge-shield jump to get to the end. I can't do it, but it's there. I propose Boogity do one with Berserk in his next video! The stock mutator doesn't work, but there's another one floating around online. If you can't find that, I took that one floating around online and took out the fast weapon switching and recompiled it just 'cause, so I could send you that.

Some ladders (Clanbase?) I think have even banned the use of shield gun movement like this because it's "an unfair advantage"

Unfair advantage my ass! It's just learning to more properly use the tools given to you.

I play with a boost dodge mutator occasionally. I think they're fun, and I can't really see why they got rid of them. If everyone can do it, it's not giving any person a particular advantage over anyone else. I think Epic was just pissed that people figured out something they hadn't thought of testing, so they got rid of it out of spite.

From a competitive standpoint, there's rare situations where these jumps are useful. I've most often seen them used in CTF-Grendelkeep, and they're only tap-jumps. Not many carriers (at least the smart ones ) use shield jumps on a regular basis. 90% of the time, as a FC your health is more important than the distance gain you get out of these movement tricks. Plus, adrenaline is off during matches, so bye bye Berserk. Some ladders (Clanbase?) I think have even banned the use of shield gun movement like this because it's "an unfair advantage"

It's kinda amusing to see peeps discovering this I remember sniping spineblaZe from the top of Flux2 in UT2003 & showing him for the 1st time how to get up to the mesh above the flak door. It also brings back memories of turning a pub into a playground one day when I did a berserk jump from the deck of Phobos2 to the top of the sniper tower. All it took was one guy to ask me how I did it... next thing you know there's 10 guys shield jumping all around the level.

Nice video though Boogity :tup:

Ah the good old days when you were a noob and it was worth discovering those fun jumps...and the good old day you used that one against TWD in Grendel that is now immortalized in the FragBU video!

I recall alot of FragBUs before people got in just running around boost-dodge-shield-jumping all over the place, and everyone practicing those moves. 2k3 really was an enjoyable game, imo.

 

[BooGiTyBoY]

I didn't play UT2k3 too much so I'm not too into boost-dodging. I'd rather use whats given to you in the game itself than use extra mutators/mods. That's the fun of it for me at least.

Those maps that "need" boost-dodging in DPM are also "left-overs" from the 2k3 version. But there's still other ways to finish them with a lot of the new 2k4 jump techniques (just maybe not as fast)

 

[T2A`]

Well, technically, it did come with the game since the mutator shipped with it, it just didn't work. But now we're just getting into semantics.

What about DPM-ThreeJumps? Is it possible to pop off the wall up to the exit from a regular shield jump? Which moves are new to UT2004? I don't think I knew I even had a shield gun when I played UT2003 ( ), so I figured all the jumps you could do now were possible back then.

 

[Sir_Brizz]

Actually, more jumps were possible in 2k3, and even in the mutator (so I've heard, haven't tried) they didn't accurately reproduce the effect that "super-boosting" had in 2k3. This is jump into wall-right-jump-right really fast and you get a huge boost off the wall. It was "nerfed" in 2k4 because all the n00bs/pros (not sure which) complained their butts off about it.

I thought it was part of the "charm" of 2k3, personally.

 

[)>-SARS]

The music fits perfectly no matter what anyone says

Great vid BootigyBoy

Seems 4 people on the server were ignorant enough to accuse me of using a speed hack cuz' I was capping so fast after grabbing their flag...

lol

owned

 

[BooGiTyBoY]

You can shield gun climb up that wall with an extra pop in threejumps. You can do more flak jumps in 2k4 due to the new "balanced" damage of the cannon and I think the same is true of the shock secondary too... you can do more wall pops and such gaining more distance with less health loss now. Plus the combo jumps with the goo and shock I don't think were possible either in 2k3 due to the damage a big glob would do ya for. I could be wrong though

 

[jikilla]

yo do u bump up your senseitivety fo some shield jumps i mean some of those turns look like they will take a bit

 

[BooGiTyBoY]

I play with my mouse currently at 1.75 (I know that means jack squat as each system is different) But no... I don't change any controls to do jumps with.

 

[Sir_Brizz]

I use 1.50

 

[spineblaZe]

OMG that was incredible! Highly impressive
Very cool, but if it was something that was normally seen it would ruin normal weapon CTF...

I don't think it would ruin CTF at all, if anything it makes it more interesting. Besides, most servers don't have Adrenaline on anyway. Some of the really cool jumps that BooGiTyBoY did not only require a lot of skill, but they also require the "Berserk" adrenaline combo.

Damn, Boogity. You got served.

And not to forget a quite bit of extra health (an important element as a FC), and the inability to use another weapon at the same time.

How To Play CTF with BooGity on your team:
Step one: Get the Flag
Step two: Give it to Boo
Step three: Cover him
Step four: Watch the grace and poise of the Flying BoogityBoy
Step five: Get the cap and sit there watching the other team with the Gaffed Fish look on there face.

The Rabbit!

I was bored the other night so I threw this together. It's a short 3 minute or so vid of some CTF shield jumps, including jumps using the berzerk adrenaline combo. All jumps CAN BE DONE during actual matches as long as you have at least a keg or a shield. (yes, even the Face Classic one!)
I kept this one short and sweet and nothing fancy as I don't wanna give away all the jumps you can do, I just wanted to give a few "ideas" of what can be done.

welcome to BuF - although that's a pretty crappy way to introduce yourself. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and challenge Boogity to a Tricking Contest...
