I play Medic -- Why can't I outrun spies??

DukeNukem · Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2001 3:20 pm Post subject:

I often play medic. The profiles show that a medic is the right behind the scout in speed and that the spy is fast, but a little bit slower than a medic. Why is it then that I can never catch up with a spy when I am chasing him (i.e. to infect him)?

Is there something I am doing wrong? Is there a "run faster" (a.k.a - a "sprint" key) key bind that I am missing?

Once in a while I have even found that I cannot keep up with another medic. DOH!

Try dumping extra metal/ammo this will lighten you upand give you more speed. If this doesn't work could it be that these guys are running a speed cheat??????????

Well if they are jumping they go faster if they are just running normal then they go there speed try jumping because I found something out too. Me and roof were playing on a lan game with scouts and I was jumping Roof was plain running and I got to 3 before he got to 2 and wer both started at the same time. That might be the problem. Hope this helps you.

that jumping might have been bunnyhopping...i heard its still in the game after the patch, but just toned down a lot.

The patch didnt slow down my bunnyhopping at all. In fact, i think i can go faster...

I use a modified bhop that includes, left and right strafe, jump, duck, and believe it or not...backwards... Figure that one out..
