What's with the superfacial ceiling? I can only rocket jump less than half of the height of what I used to be able to go.

I saw that too--I think it's a feature of the update.

I'm pissed too.

Some servers seem to have those wimpy rocket jumps and some seem to have super rocket jumps (that make you easy sniper targets and go too high, but normal distance horizontally). One of those is from yesterday's update and the other is the fixed version that came out today. I'm not sure which is which and if the Tempest is updated yet.

I'm the only one who can update it.


And I just got home from work. Give me a break.

One thing I noticed, which happened twice, is that when I would get blown up in the air I would hang there a good 5 or 6 seconds. There was no motion upward. Almost like I was suspended in the air. Reminded me of Michael Jordan.

After playing on the CMS servers last night, I don't think it's the Tempest. On the Steam forums everyone is complaining, so it's probably just Valve nerfing the soldier again. I think we're used to it by now. I don't think there is a fix.

The super jumps were between the release of the classless update and the first fix for it. That was just as bad because there was no reason to be hitting the invisible ceiling on every jump. Now soldiers just hop. But Valve did it to balance gameplay so it's all good.

Its a Valve issue, not a Tempest issue.
