FaN jumping...

So all you scout's out there with a FaN, how and when do you all preffer to use the FaN jump? I personally tend to do regular jump --> FaN --> double jump. Mainly because you can control where you want to go on your double jump. I also like to do a 180 before i shoot the FaN for horizontal distance. But for vertical, i just shoot straight down.

Also, is there a difference in horizontal distance between the 180 shot and shooting at your feet? the 180 shot seems to make you fly farther but i can't really tell.

i only use the fan jump when i am trying to get to a ledge or something, otherwise you waste a shot and if you are in combat with teh FaN you have to make all shots count.

Doing a 180 doesn't seem to change the distance to me...

You go farther, because if your doing the 180 chances are your not looking directly down. You're looking up a bit.
So your traveling a bit farther forward, apposed to just shooting down and not going forward at all.

Try double jumping, then FaN yourself towards the guy, and then shoot him. Reload. Repeat.
Good to note here that you should never jump towards an opponent. Thats the difforence.
Allways be moving, allways be jumping, and allways keep them guessing.

Always be jumping sounds like a bad idea to me.

change that to be strafe-jumping and its much better!

I agree with both of these statements to such an extent that I felt I needed more than just a QFT.

Except Carnage rarely jumps in combat.
