Good old "Two and a Half D" game design! I made my share of custom levels using that weird-ass map design system. Man it was nice to have free time and limitless energy back in the day. 8)

2021-09-08 04:45:11 +0000 UTCThe first I encountered them was the "grenade jump" in the Marathon franchise. I was on a mac back then, so I didn't get to play a lot of Quake. As I recall, you took a bit of damage doing it, so you wanted to have your shields up before you tried it.

2021-09-07 21:45:33 +0000 UTCShow me a game that has the realism and detail to track damage to a player's worn equipment... and I'll show you a game that doesn't allow for silly unrealistic actions like a rocket jump! ;p

2021-09-07 18:47:24 +0000 UTCIn any game that uses rocket jumps, I've always wondered why they don't damage the players equipment. I mean, think about it. You're having an explosion go off feet from you, and your pants don't even get singed? How the hell does that work??

2021-09-07 00:40:35 +0000 UTCOh yeah! Nothing like a Rocket Jump to say "So long, suckers!" I love that dialogue, such a snarky one she is. Are those nasssty orcs and goblins poisoning their arrows???
