Scout double-jumping problems

When I'm on 2fort I jump off the battlements I get to the top of the bridge fine. But when I get to the other battlements I press the space key TWICE and it only registers one. Is it human error, keyboard, or bad luck?

This often happens when you try to jump a split second too late. The game registers that you have dropped from the bridge roof even though you may still be on it, so your first jump actually registers as your second jump. Next time, try jumping about half a second before you normally would, and you should be able to do a proper double jump.

Oh god this always used to happen to me way back when. I think its just your timing.

this happens to me ALL THE TIME.

Yeah. Just jump a little earlier.
If you didn't bother to read cascade's article; what happens is you're jumping a split second after you fall off the bridge, so that counts as your midair jump (second jump) so you can't jumps again.  Just jump a second earlier and you'll be fine.

Yes, yes, yes *orgasm* Thank you!

Damn this thing has been eating at me during games, always taunting me as I fall and land right infront of a trigger happy heavy or pyro.

I still can't do it right, I must be jumping too late. hmmm

lol, wow after all this time I thought I was the only one...Awsome to know, finnaly batted a few Snipers at the start of a round now!

You've just got to jump a bit earlier. The scout has plenty of distance on his jump, so starting earlier doesn't make you miss. If you jump too early, and think you might not make it, just jump back again or crouch onto the little ledge in the middle of the deck, which sits a bit closer than the main platform.

Have fun messing with snipers


FAST FACT:
you don't need both jumps to get ONTO the bridge roof. Just run off, then use your jump to get you to the roof. It keeps you lower, so those pesky snipers have a smaller target to shoot at.
