An easier way to dodge?

[mighty-spork]

Ok, so I have to confess I'm primarily a Q3 player and this whole super 'dodge' thing seems very very wrong to me but you can't seem to get by without it online.

But is there an easier way to do it other than this double tap malarky? I ask because I see people pulling off insane dodges without the stuttering pause I seem to get thanks to taking my fingers off the strafe keys (not to mention the alarming lack of consistency in the game picking up my frenzied but admittedly arthritic taps.)

Apart from that I'm enjoying the game.. I may even *whispers* convert.

Huh!

Hmmm

I am a ex Q3 player, Last time I played was well over half a year ago at a event.
Now two nights ago i d/led the Ut2k3 demo thinking I get back into the gaming scheme and try a new game.

I can tell you within 30 minutes I had the hang of the dodge thing and within 1 to 2 hours I can reach places others cant and pull stunts others can't.
Now, funny side is this is on like 13 to 20 FPS and when online 13 to 20fps plus a load shit of lag in the demo on cable. Yet I either come 2nd or top in servers (BlueYonder).

I am upgrading Thrusday specifcally for this game, so hopefully I will get into it and the retail won't have so shite netcode (of course not, read up!). Anyway, There is no pause and where are u letting go of STRAFE? What are your key lay outs.

Give W,A,S,D, a try and shift as jump, ctrl crouch then guns all around them.

I can do awesome dodges and jumps, my only problem is training them dodge's and dodge jumps fastre up steep hills seem to do it natrual but concenrating can't shit up it.

Anyway, all I can say is keep trying and its a brillant game with the pyshics. With out this jumping lark I dout i be intrested Its sheer fun learning new ways and quick routes via it. Pratice for 1 hour in ur own instant game with no bots.

Thanks

Cyaz.

On the Adrenaline Moves, if you have an inverse mouse set, you may need to try reversing the order of the commands, ie - instead of Fwd, Fwd, Back, Back try Back, Back, Fwd, Fwd.

Adrenaline Moves (When Adrenaline Is At 100)


BERSERK: Fwd, Fwd, Back, Back
INVISIBILITY: Right, Right, Left, Left

BOOSTER: Back, Back, Back, Back

SPEED: Fwd, Fwd, Fwd, Fwd

Other Special Moves


DOUBLE JUMP: Jump, then jump again at the top of the first jump
DOUBLE DODGE: Double tap Strafe Left or Right, Forward or Backward

DODGE JUMP: Perform dodge, then jump before you land

WALL JUMP: Run along a wall and jump into it. Press jump and opposite strafe when you hit the wall. (If the wall is to the right, jump + strafe left and vice versa)

LIFT JUMP: When very close to the top of a lift, jump and you receive a great deal more momentum, propelling you a lot further

SHIELD JUMP: Charge up the primary fire mode of the shield gun, look towards the floor and release. After the kickback, jump again to pull off the shield jump

DOUBLE DODGE and DOUBLE JUMP can be particularly useful for climbing rocks and slanted walls that might otherwise seem to steep. Simply try double dodging or double jumping forward as you face upwards against the wall or rocks in front of you. You can double jump to get to high areas and jump over large holes and gaps that might otherwise be too long for a single jump to get past.

For example, in the Bombing Run game, when you deliver the ball into the ring, you must Double Jump in order to reach the ring barrier and get 7 points. You can shoot it into the ring for 3 points if you wish to score lower but not have to respawn.


CONSOLE COMMANDS: Tap the "~" (Tilde) key and type in the following:


GOD - God Mode - Invulnerability
FLY - Lets you fly all around the current map

WALK - Puts you back on the ground after flying

LOADED - Gives all guns, ammo and 100 adrenaline

STAT FPS - Toggles frames per second display in upper right corner

STAT NET - Toggles display status of the network game play statistics

SLOMO 1 - Sets the speed of the game back to normal real time speed

SLOMO 2 - Sets speed to double. Increase number to go faster

SLOMO .5 - Sets speed to half. Decrease number to go slower

BEHINDVIEW 1 - Changes to Third Person view

BEHINDVIEW 0 - Changes to First Person view

In BEHINDVIEW mode, if you select the "Electric Sniper" weapon, which should be at the far right of the weapons HUD at bottom of the screen, and then click the RIGHT mouse button as you would to zoom in to get a head shot, it will zoom in on your third-person view of your character. This way you can get closer to watch the movements and special effects of the character. It is a pretty slick effect.
