pretty good... but 4 minutes of credits in a 13min video is pretty harsh.

Yeah i was expecting some good frags for desert. :/ I've probably seen defrag vids with longer credits though.

W-o-w! o_0 Moves Unlimited really is much more enjoyable than Promode The Aerodance. That 2x run through the crusher at cpm21 is just...

Download now. :icon14:

Downloading...

Its a shame those credits are so long in mercurial, would love to see some more action.

Anyone know of populated cpma servers in NA? Chicago area seems to be good for my routing... :icon32:

EDIT: Trick jumpers have always confused me, I couldnt hop around a server long enough without feeling the need to shoot things to get that good. Nice movie for sure.

The advanced movement abilities which are developed through trick jumping are an asset to competitive play.

Yep, just look at the caps on cpmctf2 in Mercurial.

Maybe you haven't played many cpma maps, jester. Some of them have so many possible trick jumps; it's really fun to explore them.

Oh, I dont doubt that it is helpful, watching some people move around the map is amazing, others, it looks like they are wearing concrete boots. :icon26:

Just for me, the practice it takes to get good at the trick jumps is something ive never been able to force myself to do, my spare time is more entertaining just playing, I dont have the luxury of being able to play and practice my movement.

I'm sure someone will comment here that they got good at movement just by playing the game (fragging), but quite a lot of people really get a kick out of it when they see a possibility for a certain trick in a map and they try it over and over until they can do it. It can be very satisfying when you manage to do a trick that was impossible for you before.

You can also show and teach others, which is something i like to do now and then.

yea its cool

Post by **menkent** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 12:21 am

finally managed to download Moves Unlimited... a couple cool runs through maps, but i'm not remotely impressed with rocket-jumping anymore and that took up most of the movie. =\

Agreed. The multiple RJ's were not very special, simply because we've seen them in so many defrag vids.

Moves Unlimited crashes WMP for me...what codecs besides ffdshow and xvid are needed? :??
