<div class="IPBDescription">Look what I found</div>I was perusing through my external hard drive and found this video from 2004!

<div align='center'><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr_3iey-0WU&hd=1#t=96s" target="_blank">Natural Selection - Jumped</a></div>

<center><object width="450" height="356"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xr_3iey-0WU"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Xr_3iey-0WU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="356"></embed></object></center>

It's an old bunny-hopping montage featuring players from the old Knife clan such as Fana and others. God, I miss those old NS games on the YO-Clan and Bry's-NS servers! This video brings back so many good memories from NS1.

<i>(P.S. - I tried looking for it online and on YouTube, but couldn't find it anywhere so I uploaded it myself. If you are the owner of this video, please let me know and I'll send you the original and take it down from my channel for you to upload to yours.)</i>

    Never actually played NS1, so it was nice to get a look at some gameplay. It's surprising how similar a lot of it is, but I guess that was sort of the point. ^.^

    You need to install that game and run around by yourself.

    You will not regret it.

    For some reason this one works better for me than the one in the opening post, neither being too high quality though.

    Also, check out the sequel.

    For quality viewing experience I strongly recommend dloading the whole thing though. You can probably find both at Ninelegends or ENSL sites.

    For anyone interested in the mechanics and/or not having played NS1:

    The maps are all official, although some were dropped on the final 3.2 releases. All in all, nothing is particularly designed for the movie or trickjumping in general.

    Aliens use the basic bhop mechanics with air curve without any limitations on chaining the jumps.

    Marines have the same air curve abilities, but are limited to 1 jump on level terrain. However, you can chain marine jumps by landing on a terrain higher than where you started. Starting from a ducking position also gives you the 'high ground' effect for one jump, so with some trickery you can get 2 jumps in a row on a level terrain. It's quite amusing how far especially the NSJumped 2 takes the marine mechanic to allow 5+ chained jumps on certain locations.

I think that one plays better for you as I only just uploaded my copy and YouTube hasn't cached it for all regions yet.

    Loved the air movement in general, air curving and crouch jumping to get to higher places. Maybe someday we'll get climb maps again.

    Haha, watching these again is great. I'm in both! Look out for the marine who keeps falling in the pit at the end of the second one, my proudest NS moment.

    NSJumped 2 is by far superior in terms of editing and the flashiness of the jumps but NSJumped 1 largely features trickjumps that would be useful in a real NS1 match, so it has its own charm.

    Looking back now, a lot of them seem easy but I guarantee that in both of those movies it tends to be the most plain jumps that are by far the hardest to pull off.

    Yeah. I think it's also kind of awesome to see how both the jumping and editing developed between the movies. I also remember how amazing the first one's jumps seemed back in the day, now I could probably do most of them at least equally good if not better without awfully much effort.

    Haha and probably this also. It looks so easy and then you go ingame and miserably fail on a lot of stuff.

    Also, I remember it's really weird watching your own movement at least on HLTV demos. I remember watching my own bhop on some random HLTV recording and wondering how I don't get carsick under a minute. I don't think HLTV records the mouse motion at full precision.

    Here's another blast from the past, this one is a frag video featuring a clan called "Team Terror":

    Poor nada lol. Good times. I remember waiting to watch matches like exi vs terror as if it was the superbowl and the us vs europe matches like it was the allstars. The good ol days.

    You forgot to mention that dropping all your equipment and using catpacks improved the marine mechanic aswell. This doesn't devalue the amazing jumps in any way though.

    Ahhh... good ole HL strafe mechanics. Its good to see some old school maps really brings me back. Now to just convince UWE to implement more marine skill based movement, they're on the right track with new skulk jump lets hope they take it further and bring it to the marine side! Thanks for the thread!

    These jump mechanics are holdovers from a (fortunately) dead pc gaming era. I don't miss them. But hey, if you like jumping games, there are <a href="http://www.supermario.cc/" target="_blank">still some out there</a> for you.

    Yea that isnt really the kind of attitude this forum needs more of.

    It is good to see some of the old gameplay videos now and again, and lol at the telefrag kills, good old NS1 there.
