How is this guy doing this? Found this youtube video on scout gameplay and wow, just wow. I'm guessing he's bhoping while concing? I've seen concing like this on evil server.

    That's a classic vid, and opened a lot of peoples' eyes up back in the day. However, that was 20 years ago, and everything showcased within it is pretty standard by today's standards at high level, though the badlands conc can still be a bit tricky.

They're just standard drop concs, glide HHs, etc. If he did the concmap_r long jump as Medic instead of Scout, that would've required a max bhop HH. The other concmap used for the advanced jumps is concmap_icup2, and there've been tons of maps since then that make it look like beginner mode.

    Yeah, this has become basically commonplace...it's just nuts to think that this stuff became so integrated into gameplay 20 years ago, when the game was still relatively young.

This is me and RaXoR's old video from...2006? 2007? I'm TanTruM in the video. I started concing seriously in about 2002 and when I went back to CTF, everything changed. Knowledge of maps was important, but executing concing abilities and air movement was far more important.

I'm a firm believer that aside from bhopping, general strafing and air control is the most important skill in the game. You can see alot of (obviously) scripted flag tosses/catches and movements around CTF maps in here too, but they're just to showcase how to get around. Moving quickly on Offense from your base to the enemies is important because it means more frequent attempts at the flag. If you can be quick and squeeze out an extra 20-30 runs at the flag over the course of a match, it only increases your chance to succeed.

Fun fact, at 9:12, on the rcramp map, RaX and I had been practicing that for...days? Kept getting shitty runs from sticky ramps, lags, long texture draw (the map is huge) and general fuckery between server side error/client error...when we finally made that flag catch, it was like 3AM. We both screamed so loud in relief that when we finally did it, my dad actually woke up and came downstairs and was like "CAN YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP" lmao. Ah, yes, the glory days of being a young teen living at home.

At any rate, I had some of the best years of my life concing with the old community. Those skills translate HEAVILY into CTF if used correctly.
