Not sure if any of you noticed, but I was checking out the CTF maps that came with RoE and just out of habit I tried a strafe-jump when I jumped from the upper to the lower level of the first map, and it launched me about 3x as far as a normal running jump would have... After messing around with it some, it seems I still need a lot of practice at it. It's going to take some getting used to because the "feel" for SJ'ing isn't the same as it is in Q3, but it can be done. I seem to get the best acceleration on a normal SJ by landing on a downward slope and jumping at the same time, kind of like the way ramp jumping worked in Q2 but with the slope going in the other direction.
