surfing the best thing that happened to css since sliced bread

[jmjneary]

ok so yesterday i was looking around for some maps then i spot this map with surf in front of it so i load it up and low and behold you are supposed to surf on these giant floating triangles

try these out they are a blast just refine your search for any map with surf in front of it

Yeah ive been playing these maps for a few months, they are the best things in cs 1.6. Just hold left or right and slide down stuff and jump around its really really good. surf_egypt is the best map for it. You need to get hang of the technique first, which takes time then the fun begins.

sounds awesome

So does this use surfaces that are too steep to walk on or what?

And when did sliced bread happen to Counter-Strike?

surfaces at those angles make you run really fast if you strafe on them - I don't think Valve intended it to be that way but hey, it's fun! Anyways, I really hate these maps because I ABSOLUTELY SUCK AT THEM!!! Noone is willing to offer any tips either. I played surf_clouds for like an hour before I could hit the damn square and I still can't jump the houses of surf_city (after an hours as well). Please, do you have any tips? The maps look very fun and I'm okay at surf_water-slide but it's so hard to get the hang of it.

one time hold side strife and angle your body to be almost parallel to the wall so you go at optimul speed

Yeah I've played those. They are hard to beat!

 

[jmjneary]

surf_leet_m1 is by far the hardest surf map

 

[SystemShock2]

ARe there any other ways? Also do you face the wall or away? do you crouch? do you hold forward as well as press a and d? When you are almost parallel, are you making a point at the way you're going or behind you if you and the wall were to make a triagle? How long did it take you to learn?

surf gets old fast

I thought surfing didnt work very well in source. In CS 1.6 you could surf any slanted wall.

On surf_egypt i can slide through the first slide fast, but I can't manage to jump on this roof at the end. I just can't jump high enough. Any help, or a video, would be appreciated.
