Pootis jump info!

Alright, as per the discussion on Talk:Rocket jump, all jump-related content should be moved in to this article. Because of the mass of content we have regarding jumps just merging everything in would result in a very messy article. I would like this page to be (re)written with information about jumps. Use the other articles for reference. -RJ 18:24, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Because there is a lot of stuff to be written in, please use the following table to either designate yourself in charge of a specific section (please, regular and experienced contributors only); and give an estimated progress percentage of how much you have written vs how much would be adequate. Everybody is welcome to contribute, but those who designate themselves will oversee a specific section will be responsible in ensuring the integrity and accuracy of what's written about that specific jump-related topic.

Jump information
Jump Assigned to Progress
(estimate)
Rocket Jump open 100%
Sticky jump
(within Rocket Jump article)
open 100%
Double Jump
Or Triple Jump
open 100%
Needle Boosting open 100%
Sentry jump
Rocket & Bullet
open 100%
Pumpkin Jump open 100%
Pyro Jump open 100%
Grenade Jump open 100%

Feel free to expand this table if necessary.

If anybody wishes to discuss this, please do so here or on the Wiki IRC.

Merger

I thought the idea was to hold sections for all the jumps, but Rocket jump & Sticky jump would have separate articles and remain summarised on here. Now there's just one huge page? Rocket jumping & sticky jumping are much larger topics, individual pages should be dedicated to them, in my opinion. seb26 [talk] 04:41, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Honestly, I don't see a problem with both types of jumps being in the Jumping article. Sure, it'll be a long article, but I think creating individual articles for sticky and rocket jumps would result in two small, unmaintained pages. ~ lhavelund (talkcontrib) 04:47, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Personally, I think there should be separate articles for the Rocket Jump and the Sticky Jump. They are techniques essential to playing the Soldier and Demoman class and deserve their own pages. 8-Bit Lincoln 18:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Section ordering

The ordering of the types of jumps appear to be listed in a somewhat random order at the moment (unless 'frequency of usage' is the intended order?). Wouldn't it make more sense to list the types in the same manner that most lists use, in Class order?

On a side-note, "Pyro jump" feels out of place as a header, considering every other jump type involving a weapon is named after the weapon used to make said jump. I do believe "Reflect jump" or "Compression jump" are possible substitutions, unless a more fitting label can be found. Disaster 05:13, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

They're ordered in terms of popularity, and they should be called Pyro rocket jumps because that's what everyone else calls them. Zoolooman 17:51, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Boston Basher Jump

Using the Boston Basher, you can perform ridiculous jumps by damaging yourself with it, give more airtime. I believe a section should be added describing and demonstrating this technique. Anyone in favor? Sonic Nova 22:10, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Boston Jump needs more information. The description is too brief and doesn't actually explain how it works. Markfrompoland 16:16, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Hammer units

Guys, I'm not into it and I don't know, but recently there's been an edit changing line about how many Hammer units of height you gain by jumping. Could someone also change the one about crouching mid-air, it's mentioned there as well? Markfrompoland 11:56, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Flare jump

The detonator links here, but no mention of either the detonator, or the flare jump; when is this going to be added?

And I also don't like the name 'flare jump', as that would indicate the use of a flare gun, which it doesn't; I'd opt for det-jump, but that's just my opinion.
