APA Strafe Maps

[Ground_Zero]

I've had something missing from my movement. Something was lost in the switch from q3, so I decided to test it out and see. Low and behold I'm NOT strafing properly. Just thought I'd throw out there that the maps at http://www.Morrowmedia.net/apa are a great way to work on your strafes if you are also having trouble.

If I hear "Humiliation" one more time I'm gonna scream. I think I'll edit that sound out. The map doesn't really tell me much though. OK, it shows that I don't know what to do, but it doesn't help at all as it doesn't provide any examples of what I should be able to do. A demo of a decent strafer hopping along the platforms would be useful, and an explanation of what he's doing.

ive actually been using another map for practice. imo i like it better than the apa one, it makes me focus more on my timing and mouse flick cuz it has more narrow platforms. found it at q4euro, direct link is here

@ Rico:
I agree, the humiliation thing gets stupid. There are videos on the website of the guy making the runs across the platforms, so you can kind of get an idea of what he's doing.

@ Oxy:
Thanks mang, I'll check it out.

I can't find the second map :/

I made a few short demos of the first map: http://www.overdrivepc.com/forum/attach ... ntid=16265

More then half of the technique is in getting the correct strafe angles (mouse movement), it's possible to change "timescale" in the console (default is 1) to see in slow motion.

Ah, I didn't notice that, thanks. All I could see was the "Download" button, and didn't even think to try scrolling the page down. :wall: =)

Actually, theres no download to the second map, just a demo.
