“there are some players who still like to do all the heavy lifting themselves, and they don’t have to use the SMART button at all. They can use the sprint, crouch, and jump keys in combination to achieve everything the SMART button does. And if they do it well, they’ll find they get slight advantages in some circumstances–and in some circumstances, really big advantages when doing stuff like wall hopping.”–GameSpot Interview

Skill jumping may be in the game after all. Before the advantages were said to be small, but the last section seems to imply there will be a few intricate/hard-to-do jumps.

Not sure what wall hopping is supposed to be, but I’m glad I can rebind my smart button to something else :slight_smile:

At what point did you think this wasn’t going to be the case…

I was under the impression that certain moves would require smart because only the basic ones could be done with regular controls.

Wall hopping is showcased in here:

Notice it also has annotations.

Personally I hope there is a ability for the general ability that reduces movement sound, because it gets obnoxious.

Nope, you can do everything with regular controls that you can with SMART. And doing them without smart can have its drawbacks I’m sure because if you’re new or not very good with the timing it could be hard to do some of the techniques. This is how I think it works anyway.

I’m still unsure what wallhopping is, sorry. I didn’t notice him mentioning it in the video.

edit: nvm, was looking at the wrong vid.
