I mainly use rocket jumping for travel purposes, or, when on lower ground, to sneak up behind people on higher ground. However, I feel like I'm not utilizing my RJing capabilities well, and am wondering what you guys use your RJs for.

I use to to get up to high places quickly, get farther while running on long maps, catch up to a medic if they're healing me(which helps build uber), and get up close to somebody shooting me from a distance.

Its a good tactic to RJ into the air and then have a downward angle so its harder for them to avoid splash damage, when if you are shooting horizontally sometimes if you miss it just goes off into the distance. Just look through some soldier frag videos and you will see some great RJing.

THey can be useful to get a demo if he's layed his stickies between you. I like to use it to get behind an enemy and take out his medic, though I fail too often.

Rocket jump to save yourself from a bad situation. Rushed by a pyro, some guy swinging melee or anyone else you don't want to fight in close range? Rocket jump away. You can even do damage to them while you get away because of how close they are.

If an enemy soldier keeps rocketjumping, shooting rockets down on you, and killing you, you can rocket jump into his face and midair him with relative ease.

My advice: Play jump maps until you're good enough to finish CP_Skyscraper (the first one; it's easiest)
Then: You'll have some seriously good jumping skills; and with additional practice in normal games you'll find that you can pretty much choose any angle of attack you want; and convienently minimize the damage you do to yourself. (careful timing and aim lets you control how much you blast yourself; so you don't overjump and take extra damage)

My favorite RJ move is getting my bazooka fully loaded and then jumping into a sentry-less crowd of enemies whom are then finding themselves trying to fight somebody whos consistently bombing them from everywhere.  (although if there's nowhere to hide and reload; the shovel works good to just land on somebody and smack the crap out of them)

On granary or other areas where you can ambush people, I like to: Fire a rocket as I jump down into the group, rocket jump OUT of the group immediately hurting all around me, and firing more rockets in the air and when I land.

But for practical purposes, you use rocket jumps for getting places fast, getting to high perches, getting a height advantage in a fight for a few seconds, and building uber.

I rocket jump horizontally, get places faster, hella faster, rocket jump up and pick up a health pack. I also like to jump onto the bridge in 2fort and rain down rockets.

& Yeah it's Tactical.
