Hi there,

in the last Q3-Map, Q3TOURNEY6, there is a BFG-Platform with a block above 
that crushes one to death occassionally. Once, playing against some bots, I 
discovered a bot standing *on top* of that block, moving up and down with 
the block.

Now I just wonder how the sucker got up there -- any ideas? Was he maybe 
just using the teleporter?

Cheers,
Paul

Probably he got knocked up there with the rocket or BFG splash.  Sort of 
an accidental rocket-/BFG-jump.

Yep, got a boost off the round bounce pad, for sure. 
Now, if you see one up on the trigger for the crusher, you can be amazed....

Holy sh**! I guess that can be accomplished with a bounce-pad-rocket-jump as 
well? Gotta get more practice... :)

Cheers,

Possibly, but that would be extremely difficult.... The "platform" is very 
very small, and hard to land on. Rocket jump from atop the crusher is the way 
I've done it.

God I love that level :)

Love the way (you can see if you spectate) the bots tend to fire at 
the trigger even as they're in mid air on their way to the crusher.

Stupid bots!!11!1

lol
