Those Brilliant And Gifted..

Those who aspire to play offence at the highest level must devote countless hours to perfect little tricks and techniques capable of leaving even the most hardened defence baffled. The most individually brilliant players in the clan are usually the ones on offence.

Bam4 Strafe Jump
This is without question the hardest trick to perform in Team Fortress. There are only a select few (literally) out there who can actually pull this off at will. It requires precision timing, lots of practice and a shade of luck. The aim is to jump as a scout (without using any grenades) from the ground up into the sniper deck on Bam4. You must run up to the corner of the ramp to the entrance, and give a sharp flick of the wrist whilst jumping. This will give you extra height, and if done right, will send you up into the sniper deck.

There's a truly sensational demo of this trick, where a TF'er from Western Australia (Jeeyeah of Clan TCU) managed to perform this nine times in a row. If you want to learn how to perform this extremely tough jump, or just want to take a look at someone performing the hardest move in TF, make sure you take a gander:

2Fort5 Strafe Jump
Compared to most of the other jumps around here, this one's relatively simple, however it's just as valuable a weapon in the arsenal of any offensive player. It's very similar to the "Sniperdeck Strafe Jump" on Bam4 (see above), however it's much easier to perform. You must run at the ramp closest to the lift, and jump just as you hit the corner where the ramp and horizontal platform intersect. It should send you right up to the platform adjacent to the lift entrance. It's actually quite simple to perform and perfect. Check out a demo demonstrating just how it's done

2Fort5 Double Concussion Jump
This is very tricky indeed, especially when it is required to be done under pressure in a war situation - however the better offensive players have no problems at all executing this nasty little jump with an angry soldier or two tailing them. As a scout or medic, one must throw a grenade at the base of the lift, and then immediately prime a second concussion grenade. As the first concussion grenade explodes and the player is shot up the lift shaft, he or she must then release the second concussion grenade, propelling them all the way to the top.

Well6 Strafe + Double Concussion Jump

This one's more than a tad eccentric, but if you perfect it, it will leave defenders gasping for breath at the sheer beauty of such a move. A concussion grenade should be thrown just below the doorframe of one of the Well6 flag area entrances. You should wait for a small moment, before priming a second concussion grenade.

Then you should proceed to strafe jump up on top of the doorframe and slide backwards along the doorframe (towards the Well6 flag tower). The first concussion grenade should explode, catapulting you towards the flag tower. You should then release the second concussion grenade, so it sends you straight into the back corner of the upper flag area. Sounds easy huh? Perhaps you'd like to check out just how it's done. Jeeyeah provides us with another demo showing just how to perform such a jump.

Well6 Pipe Jump

Depending on the gravity settings on the server, this one can be done with either two or three pipes. If the settings are "normal" only two pipes are needed. However if they are above normal, then three may be needed. To execute this jump one must stand in the lower corridors to the flag area on Well6. Two pipes must then be placed on the grassed area in front of the bridge. The demoman should then jump over his pipes and detonate them, catapulting him to just behind the flag room. This is a very effective move, however to perform it, one must have a lot of health and armour.
