don't hold down the jump key while holding down the direction, it is much faster to tap the jump key while holding down the directional key.

holding the jump key doesn't do anything, it just jumps once.

Jump alot, try not to jet at all, backflips are nice...

No i mean people hold down the up key while running in a direction to gain speed, you gain much more speed if you tap it while running in a direction.

You mean skipping?

Meh, whatever you want to call it, it's the faster then just walking.

[Lord Frunkamunch]

ALWAYS jump before you jet.

[BondJamesBond]

Time your skips according to the terrain (i.e if there is a bump, have your skip accelerate your Soldat off the slope rather than 'stumble' over the bump).

When I go fast I use timed backrolls and a lot of tapping the up arrow. Consider the angles of what you're running on and use corners if you need to bounce yourself if you can time it well enough.

try not to jump after a roll, as it stops your guy for a second

[Sydow]

Hit polys and do fast backflips.

Thx ill try that

Good Advice so far but it think it more has to do with practice than anything else

[Demonic]

Use grenade jumps. The best spots for this are colliders: boxes which you can hide behind because they block your bullets also make grenades explode instantly. Practice throwing your grenades just after you passed one of these, it will give you a huge speed boost.

Backflips also give you quite a notch of speed if you execute them correctly. The trick is that if you jump backwards and keep the up key pressed, you can tap your jet to do a roll in the air. If you do this right, you can do horizontal flips, otherwise known as a 'cannonball'. Good for making huge jumps over the enemy or risky terrain.

Master the basic things, like starting off fast from landings, going superman ( prone+jet in the air ), and kick-jumps ( tap jump as much as you can on hills, then do one big jump at the end of the slope for some added speed ).

Good advice keep it comin       n_n

[Iron Man]

when jumping down hilly terrain with bumps, attempt to land on the very tip of a ledge and roll off it

[a-4-year-old]

know thy map, You can time your jumps so that you don't slow down when you land.

Best tip^^ Try M79 at first, then move to grenades

Also, nobody has mentioned shooting the minigun to the back! If you are being persued (CTF) you not only go faster, but slowly drain HP.

[The Philanthropist]

Nade boosts and m79 jumps make you lose HP, usually they are a waste of time.

[NinjaGimp369]

If you time the grenade throw, and throw it just before the box/barrack/etc. you only wipe off like 1/6 of your health, it's worth it once you shoot towards the efc and nail him.
