Bouncing Hallucination Gas Grenades

boing, boing, boing

This is a neat trick to watch. Just keep hold of your gas grenade and don't let go, when it goes of it will keep on bouncing from the point where you dropped it. It will also bounce around randomly on sloped areas.

For best results get up somewhere really high and jump off just as the gas is released

Rippling Napalm Grenades

I heard someone talking about having firemen in tfc once, n00bs.

Similar to the bouncing grens above, except get at a good height and jump off as a napalm grenade goes off.

Makes a nice wave effect and zoom around if u drop em on a slope.

Nail Grenade Bug

Big explotion upstairs when that goes off!

Hold a nail grenade and try to time it just right that you throw it into the roof as it goes off, it will then raise up inside of the roof and although the nails itself will do no damage when the grenade explodes it will cause massive damage to anyone upstairs.
Cheap but good payback for snipers and SG's.

Weapon Model Deception

Ooh please dont shoot me with your crowbar im soo scared. *splat*

Hey man u got shells coming outta ya armpits!

Select the weapon u want to use then completely run it out of ammo (may take some time), once it has been depleted keep holding the fire button and switch to your non-projectile weapon (crowbar, knife etc.), then still holding the button press your "last used weapon" button (lastinv). You should now not see any weapon model visible in front of you, run over a backpack or use a dispenser and release your fire key. You now should have the crowbar up BUT be able to shoot the weapon u had before!

Demo Soon!

Rocket Jumping

This is no secret I know, but for you newbies out there aim at that floor fire and jump at the same time, simple. For getting higher jumps use a hold a grenade and as it goes off do your rocket jump.

Concussion Grenade Jumping

There are two main ways of concing - Throwing and jumping on them and hand-helds (HH).

Its quite simple to do the first way, just throw a conc on to the floor then just as it is about to go off jump over it. If you jump above it you will go up, jump in front of it and you will go flying forward.

Hand-helds are slightly more tricky but more powerful and you do not need to position yourself. Hold a conc and as it is about to go off jump if your strafing and holding forward you will go even further (just keep practising its hard to get the timing right at first).

EMP Grenade Jumping

Make sure you have lots of metal and ammo stocked up then similar to HH concs just hold the EMP until it is about to go off then jump, you can get on to the balcony of 2fort quite nicely.

Dispenser Jumping

Works best if the dispenser is built by a friendly engineer. Have the engineer fill the dispenser for best results. Jump on the dispenser, and while you jump, have your buddy detonate the dispenser (using the +detdispenser bound key for best results). As an engineer you get more height with this than an emp jump. Combine with an EMP jump for even greater results.
