highlights
>remember to let go of the forward key to strafe/turn while bunnyhopping, otherwise you lose all your speed
>consecutive ramp jumps pop you into the air like Source ladders, you can use this to take shortcuts on some maps
>use the blaster in slot 1 to rocket jump
>with how fast everything goes the fish (shotgun altfire) isn't a pure humiliation weapon like it first appears, you can bunnyhop up and fish people around the edges of firefights
>the pink balls the crylink (slot 5) shoots will converge on each other when you release mouse1, which means you can meatshot people with it from halfway across the map if you have balls of steel
>this is important because crylink balls have negative push force, so a meatshot pretty much kills all momentum
>the devastator (slot 9) is pretty much the Quake RL with the pointer chasing behavior of the Half-Life RPG, which makes it annoying as hell in the right hands
