Nice vid. I didn't recognize any of those maps. I used to defrag exclusively for a couple years back in the early 2000s. This makes me want to get back into it to try these new maps out. I wish I still had my demos. I had a few times in the top 5 in the world. I was no CeTuS though :P

Its strafe jumping. You have to be moving at an angle at all times and swing the mouse as you jump, it takes practice, but for some reason it works in A LOT of FPS. I always thought it had to do with the way a video card renders a FPS.

You can move a lot faster around Quake Live doing this. It's fun as hell!

Sorry for the late bump, CeTuS the movie is my fave defrag movie of all time :)

It takes practice at first but then it becomes second nature. I can do it in my sleep. I'm fairly good at getting the speed up enough on a couple maps that I can actually move around the map using just the rocket launcher. One thing I never got the hang of is wall walking with the plasma gun, although I have done it accidently before which usually ended up with me melting myself.

I still have Quake 3 installed on my PC at home but I haven't played it in about 4 or 5 months, so I probably suck now.

Shut the fuck up, your place is in a concentration camp

Stop spamming this otherwise semi-rational place with your stupid shit. The internet is a waste of a perfectly good high.

The man himself in action, not that people here would care/know (I think cannonball know who this is)

Always been a Toxic fan myself.

Yeah, he dominated q4 pretty much single-handedly. I have always thought of him, q3wise, as a tdm player. Ice Climbers ruled the school.

*edit*

For me, LeXeR was the best q3 player ever, so smooth.

I can't even quantify who I think is the best. I've basically had three time periods of where I can say "this guy was the best" but the problem is that I've never seen them play each other! And to make matters worse... I forgot one of the guy's names! The last one beat me in a tournament (I was 2nd place) in... um... 2010? He was from Russia and pretty much disappeared from the servers after that from what I understand. His name was "RUS" (original huh?) ... I think mostly it was because the peak time on the US servers wasn't viable enough for him and his clan to play.

They've got some really cool defrag maps these days. Is there a way to do it in quake live?
