More trick moves

[Arrow/Freeman]

I'd like to hear your opinion about this one:

We all know what happens when you fly into the ceiling and just rub your head of it until u run out of jet and get back to the ground. What if you could jump of the ceiling (backflip and charge from above)? In my opinion it wouldnt be "unrealistic" at all to gain additional speed by doing so and I could see some nice knife actions and a lot of other possibilities that come along with it.
More trick moves, more fun


What do you think?

+1 make the move complicated though

I think there are enough jumps in soldat already, play some climb to notice them all first.

Me likey. Would need some testing and tweaking of course but I can't think of any reasons atm how this could destroy the current Soldat-movement feeling or e.g. make it much harder to hit your enemy while he is doing his moves to avoid getting hit by your barret.

Would be a nice diversion from all the fixing, rewritting, porting and cleaning up for the devs, too.

Interesting idea with backflipping off ceilings. I'm all for more agility and practical moves. Though I'm not sure when you should be able to pull this move off... Say I'm head-deep in a polygon that looks to be at about a 45 degree angle. How can I tell that I can backflipp off of the polygon?

I'm sorry but I don't see the need for this compared to fixing bugs. We'd probbably have to make new animatons and everything.

Nothing tricky here but how about a simple double-tap side dodge? In other words a strafe jump left or right (backwards or forwards) I could see it best used in changing directions quicker from speed and just basically dodging. Would be interesting to see how it would work in Soldat.
