It's become such an important part of the gameplay that it's funny to think it was just a fix.
- baq 14y agosee also quake rocketjumping, strafe jumping, bunnyhopping, etc. when carmack wanted to fix all those issues in q3arena, the players protested, because the game was dull.
- ChrisClark 14y agoAnd skiing in Starseige: Tribes, a bug with the jumping code. They had to reimplement it for all the following games.
- nuclear_eclipse 14y agoFrom my memory, they actually discovered that bug during development and decided that it actually improved gameplay, so they made it a feature before it was released.
- robertfw 14y agoAnd sadly, they never got it quite right! none of the subsequent tribes games had the same skiing behaviour. The only reason the competitive community in Tribes 2 has hung on for so long is that a community mod sped the game up to be more like Tribes 1. Forget about Tribes: Vengeance & Tribes Ascend, neither captured that same feel.
