Hello, Today I discovered a strange "look straight down weird jump bug" in Quake 3 Arena Demo ?! :) To re-create/see the bug in action do the following: 1. Start the game. 2. Look straight down. 3. Press jump key once. Sometimes the character will keep jumping a few times... kinda weird. It doesn't do it everytime... just now and then... so try it a few times. Frames per second was 90 or so. Bye, Skybuck.
It's a general jumping bug ;)

I have seen one person do it without any help of other people, granades, setting tweaks or anything else, except the following: The dude ran very fast down the hills on the beach... and then sprinted up to the wall and then simply hopped over it thanks to more speed ! (He was playing the LT) Possibly the most amazing thing I ever saw in a shooter ! ;) :) Bye, Skybuck =D

That's not a bounce bug, that's a strafe jump. :) Google it. -- Say what you will about the sweet miracle of unquestioning faith, I consider a capacity for it terrifying and absolutely vile.

Link ? Anyway I don't think strafing had anything to do with it... The dude just ran down the hill to get some extra speed ;) Then he ran upto the wall on the right side of the beach, did a hop hop hop and through the hole at the top of the wall ! ;) Maybe he had nice rounding errors because of high frame rates, could help as well ;) Bye, Skybuck.

No he didn't strafe jump down the hill... But you welcome to try... I tried it too... I can't do it... It's very difficult to jump over the wall. Bye, Skybuck.
