Advanced movement techniques
I'd like to address an interesting way of moving about the map that I believe may enhance overall performace in every game type. It's the doge/jump technique. I'm new to the forums, so it may have been discussed already. If so, my apologies, and feel free to link to it.
The Technique:
Double tap a movement key to dodge in that direction, then when at the peak of your dodge, hit jump to double jump off of your dodge. The result is an extended dodge, that hurles you through the air faster than you could ever run or jump. The effect is multiplied if the server has quad jump enabled. I almost never simply walk anywhere anymore. I always "super dodge".
However, it's still remains to be seen if this is ACTUALLY faster than normal running. It can't be denied that it makes you MUCH harder to hit. But I've never had a race or anything to PROVE that it is faster than running. I'm always at the top of the scoreboard, on almost every game type. That didn't change when I started using the super dodge, so that's not a fair gauge...
Note that to super dodge, you have to release your hold on a movement button for a seccond (in order to double tap) so this slows you down slightly. Also, there is a SLIGHT delay when you LAND from a dodge. This delay is not present in a normal jump.
Most of the time when I super dodge over long distances, I head at a 45 degree angle to my destination (using the forward key) then super dodge to the SIDE. The end result isn't a straight line to the destination (so agian, it might be slower than running straight), the end result is an erratic ZIG ZAG towards the destination. And that is a VERY safe way to move: almost impossible to snipe. You might as well suck on the barrel of the Sniper rifle and pull the trigger yourself if you're going to run in a straight line towards your destination.
