Force-A-Nature (Shotgun Jumping)

[Ian]

Anyone ever try it?  I practised on CTF_run, and, if I spawn on top of the base, I can make it all the way from Blue base to Red base and back again.

I also tried a bunch of different experiments, like stopping fall damage on Realism mode.
It didn't work.

But, point is, the Force-A-Nature makes you way faster when coupled with your jet boots, and even when you don't get to use your jet boots.

For example, I was playing a zombie match and I got the flag, then, using my boots and the Force-A-Nature to keep me in the air, got all the way back to my flag without touching the ground.


Whenever you guys get a chance, you should try it.  Great fun.

Umm. What's Force-A-Nature?

Umm. What's Force-A-Nature?

I think he means using the shotgun to boost.

@ina: yeah, this is one of Soldat's cool features that make it what it is.

[Toumaz]

Umm. What's Force-A-Nature?

a weapon unlockable for the scout class in TF2

and spas boosting has been known and done since forever

[iDante]

It's more useful to boost your team with shotgun than yourself.

[homerofgods]

That's a bad name for spas-boosting

[Psycho]

Aww, he thinks he's revolutionized soldat. Don't ruin his dream.

[Master Of Rulez]

Hehe. IMHO Climbing, Dodgeball, "Force-A-Nature" aare ruins Soldat and his fu***n awesome gameplay. That's my opinion.

[Furai]

Without boosting yourself it won't be soldat anymore. It would loose its fast pace.

[Master Of Rulez]

Jets-YES!
Force-A-Nature-NO!

[homerofgods]

Jets-YES!
Force-A-Nature-NO!

stop trying to implement stupid words for spas-boosting

Homer, Ian wasn't the first one using the word.

BONK!

This acutally sounds neat. But I have the feeling of "extreme" overpower unless the spas goes into some immense modification.

[Ian]

I never thought I was revolutionising Soldat.  I just wanted to know if anyone has actually tried it before (which, even before I posted, I was sure someone had). 

And I know, Force-A-Nature is an understatement, but if you think about it, you can get across entire maps without using fancy tricks like the cannonball with just a Spas 12.

It's more useful to boost your team with shotgun than yourself.

I'd try that if my teammates didn't accuse me of "pushing".
Which would lead to a votekick.
And possibly ban.

Anyway.

Jets-YES!
Force-A-Nature-NO!

I like the name.  Call it whatever you want, but when I play, I'm calling it the Force-A-Nature.

[homerofgods]

Damn publics

[croat1gamer]

I always thought that boosting self with shooting spas in the opposite direction was called spas boosting/pushing.

Oh, and there are weaponmods which use those properties for the (minigun) race subgamemode.
Which exist for quite some time afaik.


Nevertheless.
Congratulations, you reinvented the wheel and renamed it into "roller".

[Ian]

I've heard about the minigun races.  They gave me the idea of experimenting with the guns to check how much they knock you back while you're in the air (or on the ground).

I just liked the Spas 12 the most.

Congratulations, you reinvented the wheel and renamed it into "roller".

This invention is revolutionary.  I will steal it and make it my own.

Anyone here ever done the legendary inf_outpost journeys to the bravo's roof using boosting when it was still possible?
When inf_outpost's roof at alpha's side was still open, you get arm yourself with a minigun and some grenades and make your way all the way to the bravo's roof.

It was pretty hard since the whole way was deadly except some small spots. Those were epic times though.
After I discovered that, I had this passion to explore each soldat map and reach places that are supposed to be off-limits.


Although I've never noticed spas to be such a powerful booster though. Sure it gives a small kick, but enough to keep you midair? Not as much as the minigun imo.
I'll try it out next time a bit more to see.

And yeah. ITS CALLED SPAS-BOOSTING ASDASD! >8 O

The good thing is that it reloads 1 by 1 in short intervals, so you can go:
Shoot, jet tap while reloading, shoot, jet tap while reloading, repeat.

Shoot opposite direction all the time, tap jetboots like shooting from the ak by tapping.
