Only a handful of people are into stuff like that nowadays.

nobody seems to be able to come up with better movement techniques than jumping routinely while moving your crosshair in a figure-eight

If gone unchecked, good movement can really fuck the balance of some games. An "All or Nothing" mentality in regards to the skill ceiling is why more modern games have dropped air strafing, bunny hopping, and launches.

Quake Champions, Warframe, and Dirty Bomb come mind. But for baby mode, take Warframes easy to do movement and apply it to a better game.

Both Titanfall games made a good effort to „re introduce“ skill based movement.

You had all your little tactics in there, even bunny hopping, which I think is crouch-sliding in Titanfall, is in it.

Though you’re lacking plasma climbing and such

> muh balance

You don't deserve vidya.

>>15130402

Also what that vid doesn't show is the snipers tagging him mid jump. Used to do that kind of shit all the time in TFC. Nothing more fun than nailing a target that thinks its fast.

>Can't believe so many gullible retards took the bait

try bhopping in half life/cs kid

the only movement i truly thought was epic was trimping and grenade jumping

I love any and all movement tricks like these, even the more simple stuff like lift jumps from UT2K4 and ramp jumps from QUAKE. I do enjoy when there is various levels of mastery to things like strafe jumping as well. Like just because you know how to strafe jump doesn't mean you will be as good as someone else is, it's not a 0 or 1, it requires precision and practice. You can do it but still suck at it, which encourages you to get better.

What's the song in the first video ?

>>15130735

The double jump is kind of the key to his mobility

>>15130735

Use Soda Popper or whatever that lets you gain speed if you don't jump

>>15130750

Babyface got nerfed to shit though, so you can't really use it effectively anymore

>>15130264

The only one and true game that makes so-called "skilled players" cry.

That second video is so fucking stupid. If the idea was to make the previous game look better in comparison, it's doing such a bad comparison it looks more like propaganda. It's reaching so hard for anything to use as an argument that even ebin requiem for a dream is tossed in there.

I get it that UT3 isn't popular for good reasons, but none of them are shown in that segment of the video. All that's shown is some nigger being really, really terrible at videogames and it even looks like it's on purpose, so it's even worse.

Why would you spam the translocator like that? You know very well you get much more mileage from tossing it at a much higher angle and letting it go, you're running out of charges (and complaining about it) because you're being intentionnaly dumb, not because the game is bad. I see you didn't spammed the translocator in the first game, BTW.

Besides, if the point is to showcase the differences, why are 2 very different situations being shown? The first one is mostly the combat between both players, where each already has a flag capped and they need to frag each other to score, while the second video starts with someone taking the flag and the other guy merely chases him.

And fails horribly, somehow. How bad can you possibly be that, as a defender, you have problems catching up to the flag carrier using the translocator and the massively open grounds fit for gaining track with it?

I'm sure that there's been a lot of changes in the basic gameplay and how the weapons work, not simply with the shields and the powerups. And this could have been a video about those changes, objectively proving a point.

But instead it looks like something 12 years old would come up with as an argument for why boys are better than girlz or something equally puerile.

Was it really that hard to come up with valid arguments against a bad game and put them in video?

>>15130735

>the most effective combat class in the game

That's not the soldier. Go near one and see what a rocket in the face does to you while he shrugs off your first shot.

Also, the Soldier is actually considered faster and more mobile than the Scout. Yes, you heard me right. The Scout isn't the "fast class", he's just a Spy that doesn't lag behind and gives some help when capping points, that's it.

>>15130767

>Why would you spam the translocator like that? You know very well you get much more mileage from tossing it at a much higher angle and letting it go, you're running out of charges (and complaining about it)

That's the entire point of it. Was shared when UT4 was announced. It compares unlimited translocator to ut3's one.

>>15130509

Believe me, I think heavy handed "fixes" like speed caps are retarded, but most classes in TFC are obsolete because of how incredible concs are for flag running.

>>15130782

>Was shared when UT4 was announced

A video comparing UT99 to UT3 was shared when UT4 came out. That makes even less sense.

Still, what's the issue with limited translocators? Every other gun is already limited in terms of ammo anyway and if you pace your translocator like you're supposed to for optimal speed, you don't even run out of charges anyway?

Plus, you're gonna tell me all that shit was about the translocators? Because I didn't saw massive spam of them in the first segment, especially since they'd lose the flag if they used it anyway. Only near the end of that bit was some heavy usage of it and it still wasn't spammed either.

Don't bother. The fags that hate balance of any kind are perfectly happy that there's a single viable way to play the game and if you want variety and having fun with literally anything else, you're gonna have to accept you're gimping yourself out or hoping the other team is doing something that makes your loadout actually better than the best strategy (which they won't).

>>15130652

No idea, it's some youtube video I found. I would help but I am in game right now playing with some friends. So I guess try some of those music finding applications or something.

>>15130811

Unless something major changed since I last played TFC seriously (More than 10 years ago) any class that can lay on the firepower is good enough to stop jumpers in their tracks at crucial bottlenecks. Snipers/Engis/Demos/Soldiers/Heavies all come to mind. Pyros and spies always took effort to play well so them being weaker in those situations isn't new. That leaves medics and scouts which are both great runners. Then again since there probably aren't a ton of heavily populated TFC servers anymore I could imagine how base defense is probably harder to maintain these days.

>Don't bother.

Speak for yourself or let the big boys talk.

TF2 killed it I saw him do it.

>>15130264

I'm all for it but if it's going to be some "game bugs we'll never fix and call game mechanics" shit like Xonotic then it's just retarded.

This >>15130298 is a good example of skill based movement.

You can only get decent accuracy standing still, but standing still is how you get shot by others. It's extremely simple, it's not based on the developers going full retard on glitches, and it's very deep in practice.

>lamer scrub that doesn't like a challenge

I like a chalenge against other players, not against the game mechanics.

I like winning because I'm better than the other player, not because he didn't chose the optimal meta strategy and I did.

Fags like you are the reason TF2 is just 6s meta right now.
