From Boing Boing: "Rocket-jumping is when you point a rocket-launcher (or other seriously concussive weapon) at the floor near your feet, and jump just as it goes off, getting a boost from the concussion, riding the shockwave.

The creator of this 2004 video has turned on "God mode" so that the rocket blasts don't hurt, and then showed what a rocket-jumper with serious mad skillz can do when unleashed on the more imaginative Quake III maps."

Would've been better if it was all in multiplayer games. And not god mode.

interesting though, as a long time quake player, to see what is possible, especially the plasma gun..

qwtf forever!
nice moves.

upvote from a quake fan here. However cool the jumps may be, what really sold me on this video was the editing. It's just absolutely amazing.

yeah, I rather liked the music and the editing more than the "Hey look at me!! I can do some crazy crap in a virtual world!!" stuff.
