It took me a while to get used to, as it probably did some other people who are new to CTF.  However, after some practicing when the Tomb was empty I figured out that the easiest way to wall jump high, even clearing walls without touching them, is to hold crouch while you are soaring in the air after a wall-jump.  Of course, sprinting before making the jump will cover more distance too.

I know some of you already knew that, but for those like me who did not, I strongly recommend that and practicing it a few times.  It makes a huge difference when it comes to finding the exit of an enemy filled enclosing and and losing/returning the enemy flag because of it, and clearing the wall completely.

If you do not know how to wall-jump at all:

Strafe against a wall so it is to your side, jump, then while in the air, jump again when you are touching the wall to your side.

Hmm....erm...how do I ask this without being too much of a n00b...nope there isn't a way:

How the F#@$ do you wall jump?! I mean, I'm not real good at bunny hopping either...though it's more of a sprint hop, but how do you? Cause that'd help me so much lmao

i don't see what the purpose of wall jumping is.  its kinda cool to do but i don't think it has any real purpose.

When I have the flag, it's an easy way to clear walls without having to go around them like a maze, or taking out a nade and taking 50+ out of me just to launch

i'm not talking about the jump+crouch thing.  yeah that is usefull.  i'm talking about strafing into a wall and jumping sideways off of it.  is there a reason of putting this into the game or is it just supposed to add to the cool factor?

Sorry, maybe I didn't make my last post that clear, but I was comparing clearing a wall using the strafe-wall jumping + crouch versus the grenade launching.

Wall jumping using the strafe can be useful because you can clear walls without hurting yourself, unlike the nade launch.  I'm just saying once you've wall jumped  (strafing + jumping),  hold crouch in the air and you can clear walls a lot easier without switching guns and hurting yourself

Sorry if I am confusing people.

I've messed around with it some, I suck at it. I can't ever clear a wall because I get lanched in the opposite direction and never get enough height. It seems like it will be cool if I can figure it out. The biggest uncool thing about it is that people can get places their not supposed to with it - like into the enemy spawn on nuclear football.

everyone who wants to learn how to wall jump, play Gunz the Duel for like a week and you will be great at it. but llenta is right. its pretty superfluous except alone in pedestal. and then i only do it to prove to myself that i can do it over them walls. but i'd say being faster with the bunny hopping is more useful, yea? oh wait. in defrost, to get on them walk ways. or up into the pipes behind the cap point in some lvl. maybe ped. i don't know..... TOMB! NOW! ZMOG!
