Hahaha you didn't know this? Speedrunners been abusing this one for years :D That's not even the only way to get up there btw. Dunno what the level designers were thinking on this one tbh

Lmao I doubt I knew this or any other method in 2008 but yeah I assumed people knew about this for a really long time. Some stealth level xD

@@leoxardisimo Well, JK2 is built on Q3 Engine, which as one of its quirks has weird interactions when it comes to jumping and turning (it's the game that gave birth to bunnyhopping). As such, bunny hopping is a thing in this game and if you bunnyhop into slanted surfaces....well. Crazy things happen. Do it right, and you get tossed to the ceiling at break neck speed. You can use this technique to get almost anywhere if you're good enough. Fun fact, the source engine Valve uses to this day is based on the Quake engine, hence the similar physics interaction that allows for bunnyhopping to happen. (CS:GO actually uses built-in commands to forcibly slow people down when they bunnyhop, because the way the source engine works it wants to keep accelerating them when they jump)
