I bought TF2 around 4 days ago after recently building a new system… and being a big fan of TFC, I was excited to play my favourite class; the scout!

Although disapointed at there being no conc. grenade, I was pleased to find a double jump feature for the scout. I first put it to use on 2fort, and played for serveral hours with no problems, and only occasionaly failing to do the double jump at th end onto the enemy’s sniper platform, but I put it down to being new to the game.

After trying out the other maps over several days, I got back to 2fort and discovered I kept failing the jump over and over, and to my frustration, I was blaiming lag and my keyboard… although a bit of googling and I found this beauty.

Cleared everything up, thanks alot haha… I am no a better scout because of it :3

Here’s a better explanation of making a double-jump in 2fort, as well as a couple of nice tips for playing as a scout.

The reason double jumps ‘fail’ is that you waited too long. There’s like a 2 or 3 second timer after the first jump that the second jump must occur within or it just won’t happen (It’s to prevent scouts from negating fall damage by jumping just before they hit the ground).

You are wrong. There isn’t any timer on anything. Double jump works so that you can once jump in air. You don’t even need to do the first jump. You can just fall from some place and then do that “second” jump in thin air just before you are about to hit the ground. So you are avoiding the fall damage. Like in Well 4pack you can fall down from that opening and then do the jump when you are near the ground.

Try reading…

I’ll rephrase what I said.

“Double jump doesn’t work if you don’t do it within 3 seconds of the first jump”

I never said anything about 2fort, or optimal distance. I was addressing the comment about how the jumps just don’t happen at all. That is to say, you hit the jump button the second time, but he just doesn’t jump.

@Anonymous: That may be the case in other situations, but rather not on 2fort. When jumping away from the bridge, you definitely have to press spacebar again before 3 seconds pass..
