Jumping over things

<div class="IPBDescription">it's tricky</div>A favorite tactic of mine in NS1 was to stand near a railing when a fade was near, and I'd shoot all I could, then hop over the railing to block him.

But in NS2 it's so hard to jump over things. All the railings are kinda sticky, and crouch jumping doesn't seem to help at all.

The problem could be collision from the railings, or the player when jumping, or not being able to jump high enough / railing too high.

If this is fixed, people are going to pick up on it and use it again fades instead of standing in the open : )

    i've read a report that it's a performance issue.
    once the engine is optimized and people get better rigs, the game will play differently than now.


    On a side note, I'd like to have some sort of free runing like the mirror's edge has shown.
    Brink advertised itself like that, but the actual possible paths where... sparse, to stay under the radar of the swearfilter.

    I get this, and it is jarring.

    I have a fairly sturdy rig, manage a decent framerate on medium settings, and need to crouch to jump over most of the rails that lie around the levels.

    It breaks up the flow of combat, and even sometimes simple movement from A to B.

    would love to see this addressed.

    I'd like to see the "animated climb over wall" kind of movement like in Battlefield. Look at a railing and press space makes your marine climb over it. This will make it a lot easier to move around the map and evade fades. Obviously this does mean your gonna be looking away from the fight and not being able to shoot. But imho i think its just weird to jump backwards over a fence while spraying my gun and not having any drawbacks from it.

    You can scale walls/railings but also just regular jump over objects.
