... Are surprisingly fun, for a nice distraction and change.

I'm not sure how much things like that 'lend' to real public/competitive gameplay, but it makes a nice challenge! I enjoy it more as a Solly than a Demo... mainly because Demo jumps are ezee, and of course they lack the wall-scaling and wall-bouncing ability more generally.

Anyone else played any combination of tf2 jump_ , dm/aim_ or surf_ maps recently? Of course they're not new gametypes by any means- CS1.3 hello - but the jumping/surfing/aim gameplay is 100x more fun as Soldier or Demoman! Really is a game within itself!

A lot of ex-Quake/TFC community players are, of course, very active competitively and in the modding community for TF2.

I don't think it's a crime to try and emulate some of the finer points of those classics

Gotta love Q3 bunnyhopping. Althugh I prefer Urban Terror (same engine) with it's added walljumps, powerslides and ledge grabs.

I still have no idea how to rocketjump correctly as a soldier. -_- most of the time I end up going half a foot in the air and taking half my health.

I can rocketjump, but I still find it difficult to jump off the walls.

I've been playing surf_ maps quite a bit for the last month, it's fun 'till one team camps the jail. Then everyone scrambles to clear the jail instead of actually surfing the map. Still fun.

I can rocket-jump and air-shoot like a demon but some of the jump_ maps that are surfacing from the community are goddamned hard. Take a little tooo much dedication and practice to complete for my liking, I'd rather spend an hour in a pub-server raping faces rather than spend an hour learning how to jump over a ledge properly!

There used to be something very similar to this in the "bestinclass" map. Dunno if it's still being used, but if you see a server using it, go play on it. Loads of fun. It's basically maps/challenges for each class (identical for Red and Blu), and once you complete the map you go to a CP which you can hold/go back to quickly from the home base.
