K. In 1.05 it was my faveourite thing to do...it gave m79 meaning to me..run, jump turn aim diagonally back, boom , weeeeee ! It was great to do and really fun...but now in 1.1.3 the m79 does more damage, ok fine i'll lose more health but I should still go wjeeeee but NO ! It has absolutely no bounce whatsoever I fly like a centimetre futher....I mean comon michal, make it possible to m79 jump again plz. It makes the m79 more equal to the other weapons also. Plz [:-bunny]

Uhh, the m79 is still one of the most popular and powerful weapons in the game. Unless you want it to be weaker, saying that it should be 'more equal to the other weapons' is a bad idea.

The M79 is still good, and its all I use, but it isn't the best weapon anymore....

I hope it gets better in the future!

No, what I really want is more bounce on m79 jumps...I would also be pissed if it got weaker and took 2 shots a kill that'd be really gay. I'd like less damage for m79 jumps to ur own character, but dont lessen the damage on the enemies cause it's been [:-censored]ed up enough...the point of this thread is to make m79 jumps more bouncier !!!!!

WTF?!?! Of course it is weaker! Look at Soldat 1.05! Shots were like normal bullets. Now they're like throwing rocks....maybe you need to play it more to see this....

Speaking of version 1.05, one thing I will always miss is lag boosting...

Lag boosting works like this:

You're playing a normal game in some low powered server and you hit a snag of lag that's so hard that it stops all gameplay and causes everyone to run in place. What's cool about it though is that you can still aim around the screen and shoot people, and if you use your jet, the jet fuel refills normally, even though the game has stopped momentarily. If you keep using jet in large quantities while also allowing it some time to refuel during this freeze in the game, when the server finally catches up to speed you're instantly boosted with the force of all the jet fuel you were using.

Jet lagging was one of the funner details of the game in that when you did it, your soldier shot off like a rocket, sometimes even straight into the ceiling!

Oddly enough, you could combine jet lagging with the M79 jump...giving you enough momentum to warp several screens away.

So that's why you fly off like buggery! I'm enlightened. I used to M79 jump too, but I can't say I did it on purpose. It was funny when you assaulted someone's base, M79ed off a Soldat, and flew over the rest of the team. Aaah the gud ol' days.

BRING THE M79 JUMP BACK! There, I said it for ya.
