How to move very fast?

[szwip]

In CTF, there are some players who move very fast. I'm not able to follow them, even with the laserjump.

What is the method to move very fast? Do I use the laser jump badly?

Well i'd say this also depends on the map but yes there are good and bad laser jumps. However its not the only way to gain speed.
In nexuiz there are two general ways to gain speed. One is by jumping and the other one is by getting pushed by either a jumppad or an explosion of an weapon (like the laser). Of course you can also combine both . I"ll try to make a demo to explain it better..

Not the best demo ever made but you should get the idea: link removed.. i should not record with the development version
Just copy the file into your nexuiz data folder and you should be able to find the demo in the demos menu.

Demo doesn't work for me. It loads but nothing happens (you just return to the menu when it has finished loaded).

And its just as mutch abt keeping the speed you gain as ganing it. A god example - on greatwall_reloaded use the neer your base launchpad, use air control to steer clear of the hills and "bend" the jump towards the enemy base. once close to hitting the ground hold the jump key, once you touched down you will jump imidiatly again keep doing this ans stay clear of any objects in your way and you storm into the enemy base at very high speed.

This basic tech can be done with launchpads or explotions as initial source of speed. Another popular "speed" map is facing worlds nex, here thres no launchers but ppl rather use the laser / rl to gain speed. Try making a laserjump then just as you are abt to land fire the laser again striaght down. If done right this sends you off in very high speed.

The hook can also be used to gain tremendous speed.

This is a favorite tactic on facing worlds.

That I hate as hell, it fucks up the gameplay on that map.

Sadly i think this is true.. also makes it much harder to defend as people can come in from everywhere and also are much faster back again after having them fought off..
