    Jumps to the Quad  




    There are three places that you can jump from to get the Quad. The top picture is your standard obvious way to get the Quad. I find that sometimes if you head straight towards the Quad, a last second mouse jiggle can completely screw up the jump and land you in the lava. See the silent Quad trick for a reason why you would head straight for the Quad. If you aren't too concerned about the silent Quad, then aim to slide along the slanted wall, as depicted in the picture, just to make sure you don't miss it. You may also want to practice strafe-jumping for the Quad, so as to keep your eye on the rest of the level.

    The second picture shows the non-standard way to get the Quad. It's not a very hard jump, and it pays to practice strafe-jumping this one for the same reason as before.

    The third picture shows the very non-standard way to get the Quad. But when you could just drop off the ledge and do the jump in the second picture, why would you risk this sort of weirdness?

    Jumps away from the Quad  


    Both these jumps are easy peasy. Practice strafe-jumping these so that you can more easily shoot the people that are undoubtedly already shooting at you. To get out really fast, run and jump backwards and shoot your Quad rocket into the back wall/floor.

    Jump from GL area to ledge  
    A not so obvious jump which can save alot of time. Standing outside of the little GL corner, you can jump from here to the ledge that leads to the Quad. It's quite a difficult jump to do in the heat of battle. You must remember to aim to land as far to the right as possible, otherwise you'll probably end up jumping into the first step and not make it. If you can make the U-turn jump over the lava in DM2, you can apply the same principle to this jump.

    Also watch out for the little hole made by the grill in the floor. It can seriously screw up your jump.

    Jump from ledge to thunderbolt  
    Not a jump I use alot. I prefer to just go further up the stairs and fall off onto the middle level. It's good if you wanna show off and frag someone on the bottom walkway while in mid-air. Not that much use otherwise.

    Jump out of lava  
    This is a very important jump to learn, mainly because of the fact that it's easy to do and will prevent unnecessary suicides. Simply jump out of the lava onto one of the little ledge things that stick out of the wall. Learn to do it sideways and backwards as well, so you don't waste time turning around and lining up. In emergency situations, like when you're under fire, you may want to use the mini lava jump instead. Oh yeah, make sure you jump before you run into the ledge. It's an easy mistake to make (especially if you are jumping backwards), but the slope is far too inclined to be able to bounce off it and out of the lava.

    Jump across lava  


    You may wonder why you would want to learn to do this jump, since running across the bridge will achieve the same thing. But what if your way is blocked? If some dude is standing on the bridge, and you're on the MH side, you probably don't wanna run into the guy. You have two options, one is to pop him off the bridge with your rocket, or you can jump across the lava and trap him on the MH side. Learn to strafe jump this one so you can take a shot at him while in mid-air.

    Oh yeah, don't try and run across the little nodules poking outta the wall, 'cos you'll fall through the gaps.

    A very silly jump indeed  


    Yes, you can quite safely jump and land onto the little indent of these two grills. And you can jump back to the walkway. But why you would want to be there in the first place is beyond me. The second picture is the view from standing on the grill in the first picture. You could possibly stand here so as to knock off someone coming out of the megahealth room. But if you don't get it right with the first shot, you are stuffed big time. Just don't go there in the first place.
