Yet we all love pronesliding and the skijumping winter season starts in a few days. So why not do skijumping in Soldat?

The rules are easy:
- the lower platform is the starting point
- the current jumper prones on it and gets going
- once he has touched the ramp, he is allowed to use his jetpack as he likes. As soon as his jump is over, and he has touched the hill, he must immediately stop moving and also stop using his jetpack
- During the whole procedure, he must stay in proning position. Also after the landing till the other players have finished their jumps, so you can see who made the longest distance (as I havent found another solution for measuring so far).
- no weapons allowed, so no balance discussions :p

lol! You always have cool ideas :) I'm gonna try that as soon as I have some free time.
Downside is that you have to rely on your opponents not to cheat...

well, invite fair players or let someone spec the jumps, or record a demo and the problem is solved ;)

anyways, I guess the first solution should suffice, were all fair players, arent we? ;)

I once had an idea for a skijump map, turned out to be an ice maze...

Rofl, i love this. Great job, diablo.

To those who haven't discovered it yet- if you time it just right, on this map you can twist around right after you leave the ramp and shoot with a M79, sending you rocketing off even faster.

Thought bout that, but its quite hard to realize. Im gonna try it though, and of course Ill add some additional scenery too.

Btw. Yours is also nice, Herc, and mine wasnt ment to copy yours (well ski jumping ramps look all quite the same I guess :p) but I simply didnt know about it. I guess we could make different ramps with slightly different shapes and heights ;)

I was playing the map, G_D. There's a polly bug that every once in a while catches me. It's on the second jump, it's not that bad though. I don't get stuck all the time...
