Title: Mortar-Jump vs. Sniper-Jump (Discuss.) Post by: Assamite on 2004-09-19, 07:04 What benefits does one have over the other? Is one less damaging, while the other gains more height?

Sniper-jumping is really only useful from a standstill, gets lots of height, and doesn't get much horizontal movement. Mortar-jumping can be used during a strafe-jump. It doesn't get as much height, but you can move a lot further horizontally.

Yes.But so is healing yourself by grabbing a floating ball with a colored cross in it. And, for that matter, so is surviving a rocket in the face, simply because you were weaing some kevlar....

It's ok for getting to, say, the megahealth on Eternal Arenas, but if you are looking for control you're better off with the mortar.
