Description:
Natural Selection Jumped is a gaming movie featuring trickjumps from the Half-Life mod Natural Selection done by some of the best players from the European competitive scene. Expect everything from insanely long jumps to clever map exploitations.

A short description of the laws of physics in Natural-Selection might be in order, considering that many of those who will be watching this have never even heard of the game.

Basically, NS is a Half-Life mod, and therefore also uses Half-Life (and quake 1 in part) physics. Due to this, you can use bunnyhopping to gain extra speed. The Natural-Selection developers made some slight changes, however.

First of all: You don't lose your speed when hitting the speed cap (you simply stop gaining any more speed).

Second: Marines can't bunnyhop. If you jump twice without pausing in between when you're a marine, you'll lose speed in a way similar to the way you lose speed when you jump in CS. There is a way to partially dodge this, however. If you can jump onto a part of the map that's significantly higher than the one you jumped from, you won't lose speed.

Crouch-jumping and then jumping normally will net you the same effect (due to the altitude change). Armament and the amount of ammo carried also plays an effect, as you run slower when you're equipped with anything but just knife (which is also the reason for me not removing the HUD in this movie).

Picking up catalyst packs will also remove the bunnyhopping nerf for marines for a short period of time.

Even with that said, this movie is still probably only going to appeal to Natural-Selection players. A lot of the jumps are simple map exploitations that allow you to go to places you wouldn't normally get to go to. You can't really enjoy those jumps without knowing the map layouts. The other jumps will also seem very simplistic when compared to jumps in other games that don't limit your bunnyhopping and that give you weapons that boost your speed when firing. I would say that I'm generally quite pleased with the editing, and I hope it's worth watching just for that (even though I've done the editing to fit an easy to watch simplistic theme).

didnt watch it yet, but just to comment on the Description. half-life doesnt use Quake 2 physics. :) half-life is ~60% straight from quake 1 engine, including the movement physics and map stuff etc. it has some graphic tweaks from quake 2 and the rest they did themselves. i'll comment the movie later on. mastering cpm21 faster = better

In my experience, people rarely bother to check readmes (there is additional info in the readme, of course). But thanks for the advice! www.nineLegends.com - Natural Selection coverage and more.

well the movie was just fine imo. Nice 3d start :)

Im a jumper, always been a thing I'w found funny, gaining speed, or just jumping around.
I play preaty mutch half-life death match, where everyone, at last at my skill level are jumping around all the time, using bunny jump tecnique.. also been tricking in q3 for some time..

what I mean is: at last in hl i have so mutch experience jumping that most of the jumps you have shown in this movie seamd preaty easy to me, im sure i cudd done lots of them at the first try, so I wasent that impressed.
But there was jumps here, most when you play alien that was preaty impressiv, hitting smal open spots and stuff like that. on the other hand, jumping around in a circel isent that impressiv, just recuiers higher sens.

so the movie was entertaining, enjoyd the music and all, but for ppl that have playd hl for some time I dont think they will be that impressed by this movie.

anyway gj. im preaty tierd now, been a long day so im not sure if what iw writen here makes any sens.. sry if it dosent, maybe ill come back tomorrow to post some more or somthing.
/me goes to sleep.

As expected really, a lot of these jumps won't seem hard untill you've actually tried doing them yourself. The speed restrictions imposed on you by the Natural-Selection mod makes it a lot harder than it may seem. :) www.nineLegends.com - Natural Selection coverage and more.
