You can conc jump as a scout or medic using your concussion grenade to push you in whatever direction you chose. Getting the right angles/height on the jumps can be difficult and takes some practice. There are basically two ways you can go about doing them - dropped concs and hand held (HH) concs. The latter (HH Concs) being the more difficult of the two. Dropped concs will in most situations give you enough height/push on most maps and is the easier of the 2 methods of doing. Hand Held concs require a set of things and can be unpredictable. For either technique keep in mind you can/have to steer yourself in the air after the conc so the enemy can't predict where you're going and it gives you more precision on where you want to go. Get good at steering yourself in the air with dropped concs and you can get more precision on your landings than with HH concing. For most complicated jumps (eg. over ruins on Epicenter) HH concing is a must.

Getting the right angles/height on the jumps can be difficult and takes some practice. There are basically two ways you can go about doing them - dropped concs and hand held (HH) concs.

It's a good idea to master this method before moving onto HH concing. Using your grenade timer, take note of when the grenade detonates on the timer. Dropping your conc for the jump gives you the advantage of having less of a chance of screwing up the jump, which is key during matches and in areas well defended. To get the most height out of a dropped conc note when the grenade detonates on your timer and jump a second or close to a second before the conc detonates so that you're in the air when it dets. Try jumping at different times on your timer and you'll realize that jumping right when it detonates won't push you as high as when you jump a bit earlier from when the conc detonates. The farther horizontally you are from the conc cone radius (the radius that the conc will hit you in) the farther you'll go horizontally. For vertical height it shouldn't matter where you're at in the conc cone radius (horizontal wise) but for distance it makes all the difference. If you want to move more horizontally than vertically make sure you're standing more away from the center of your conc grenade in the direction you want to go. If you want to go straight up you'll get the most push from the center of the conc and jumping just a bit before it detonates. Move more outwards from the center of the conc depending on how vertical/horizontal you want to go. Test out the different angles you can acheive with this. If you want to go very horizontally, drop your conc and run as much away from it as possible while staying within its blast radius. Make sure you're still moving in the direction you want to go when the conc dets so the momentum from your movement is increased by the conc. There's no need to jump if you want to get the most horizontal angle as possible.

Enemy D can easily defend vs. the dropped conc technique by shooting rockets at the conc itself since you'll be attempting to use the conc to perform a jump and you'll have to get near the conc. To counter this, try to do your conc jump when the enemy isn't looking or when there's lots of noise going on. Sometimes you have no choice but to do the conc right away but always try as much as possible to make your dropped conc not visible to any enemy D. Instead of dropping your conc around the corner drop it so it doesn't bounce around the corner where people can see it there. Remember your conc works through walls so you can drop it on one side of the wall and still get in its cone blast radius to jump on the other side of the wall.
+
==Basic Concjumping Techniques==
−
Also, try not to drop your conc right away after priming it since that gives more time for the enemy D to react to yourself. Hold the conc until it's about to detonate then drop it so the enemy D will see it just before you do the jump rather than 4 or 5 seconds before you do it. This gives them less time to shoot you. One technique which is useful is to hold the conc and a second or half a second before it detonates quickly turn your aim in the opposite direction that you want to move and release it then aim again in the direction you want to move while you're in the air so the conc blasts you in the direction opposite of where you released the conc.
 
  
−
One more thing is the farther away vertically from the conc you are while in its blast radius the higher you will go. Drop your conc in an area below you and jump onto it just before it detonates while you're a meter or 2 on top of it and it'll send you flying really high.
+
===Timing===
  
−
'''HAND-HELD CONC JUMPING'''
+
I never used anything else than the beeps to find the right timing for the concs.
 +
In FF you also have the conc timer on the hud.
 +
I might get flamed by saying this but forget the hud timer and use your ears.
 +
The timing of the conc is now client side in FF which means you will have no lag between the beeps and when the conc actually explodes.
 +
This is a huge leep forward compared to TFC and should make it a whole lot easier.
  
−
Hand-Held concing is something which is dependant on a few things. First is lag, second is your FPS, then your timer and your timing. Lag will vary what times you should jump , making it difficult to HH conc jump since your lag is constantly changing.  It's hard to time when you should jump based on your lag. It's usually best to jump later than you usually would for HH concing but really with a ping over 250 or so it's better to just go with dropped concing which is very much less lag dependant. Your FPS affects HH concing in that if your FPS goes down while you have a conc primed, the conc will detonate at a different time than usual. This makes it especially difficult to HH conc in laggy places with lots of things happening on your screen. For example a suddent explosion on your screen or someone suddenly appearing on your screen could affect when your conc detonates. You'll notice this when your conc goes off different from when it should on your grenade timer.
+
So just use your basic rythm feeling and listen to the beeps.
 +
*beep* *beep* *beep* *explode*

Your grenade timer is what you should be using for anything that requires grenade use including concing. Make sure you know when your conc detonates on your grenade timer. I can't give a definite say on when to jump for HH concing since everyone has a different timer. The only way you can get good at HH concing is to practice it on public games. Don't practice it on your LAN since you have perfect FPS/lag there and will be able to pull off the majority of your HH concs. Practice on public games. Prime your conc and jump just as the conc detonates or at different variations test out yourself the best time to jump. To get different angles on HH concs you need to move in the direction you want to go. If you want to go up and horizontally then move forward and jump in that direction; the time you jump affects your angle/height. For vertical movement you won't want to move horizontally as much, instead move horizontally just a bit before it detonates and jump (again something you need to practice in order to know when to jump to get different angles).
+
===The power of the conc===
  
−
All in all HH concs are hard to defend since it gives the denfense little time to react before you pull off the jump. You can get past enemy D by surprise. Pop out from around the corner after you've primed a gren for a second or two so you do the jump just as they see you. HH concing gives you more flexibility of movement- you don't have to get to a static position on the ground like you do with dropped concing, instead you can jump from anywhere you want (within a certain degree, sometimes you have to stand in certain areas to get to where you want to go). Hand-held conc jumping and dropped concing both have their advantanges and dissadvantages, so it's good to excel in both of them.
+
What you want is to get the most power out of the conc blast as possible.
 +
To do this you need to be at the optimal distance to the conc when it explodes.
 +
 
 +
See the conc blast as a spheric energy with deminishing power the further away from the conc you are.
 +
 
 +
You will get the best power when you are at the edge of the conc blast.
 +
The exception to this is when the conc is on the ground as the ground rips power off the conc. The same goes for walls ofc.
 +
 
 +
But if you have a conc on the ground and jump just before it goes off you will get a good push.
 +
 
 +
===The angle of the conc blast===
 +
 
 +
If you see the conc blast as a spheric energy its easy to get this.
 +
 
 +
*If you drop a conc below you to the left the conc will push you upwards to the right.
 +
*Dropped under you, it will push you upwards.
 +
*Dropped above you it will push you downwards.
 +
 
 +
Remember, the conc can take you in any direction, just adjust the angle and it will take you there.
 +
 
 +
===Prime and hold===
 +
 
 +
To make a conc explode instantly, prime it (aka holding down the mouse button for the conc) and drop it just before it
 +
explodes. This can be used in mid air, or standing still. Often used to do jumps where more than one conc is involved.
 +
 
 +
===Strafing===
 +
 
 +
By strafing means making turns in mid air using the mouse button in combination with left or right keys. For a lot of jumps you need to learn strafing.
 +
 
 +
===What you can do with 1 conc===
 +
 
 +
If you got the timing right you can use 1 conc to get quite far.
 +
I will use ff_charybda as an example. j1 on charybda needs only 1 conc to pull off. Just prime and hold the conc, jump off the edge and drop the conc below you to the left.
 +
 
 +
Check the trajectory angle and drop the conc accordingly.
 +
 
 +
Many jumps are also done by using one Hand Held. A hand held conc is a conc you prime and dont let go off. You just hold it and jump at the exact time it explodes. This can take you forward or upwards at a significant speed.
 +
 
 +
===What you can do with 2 concs===
 +
 
 +
====A double forward jump====
 +
 
 +
*Throw first conc on the ground.
 +
*Prime and hold second conc on second beep
 +
*Jump before first explodes and drop the second in mid air just behind you.
 +
 
 +
====A double high jump====
 +
 
 +
*Throw first conc on the ground.
 +
*Prime and hold second on second beep
 +
*Stand on top of the first conc and jump just before it explodes and drop second under you.
 +
 
 +
====A double jump with second hand held====
 +
 
 +
*Throw first conc on the ground.
 +
*Prime and hold second conc as fast as you can
 +
*Jump before first explodes and dont let go of second conc. The second conc will explode in your hand and propell you forward at an amazing speed :).
 +
 
 +
===What you can do with 3 concs===
 +
 
 +
A lot of things, I give some basic use of it.
 +
 
 +
====A high jump====
 +
 
 +
*Throw first conc on the ground
 +
*Prime and hold a second conc on the second beep of the first conc
 +
*Once the first conc shoots you upwards, drop the second below you in mid air
 +
*Immediately prime a third conc, 2nd one will go off, shooting you further upward
 +
*Drop third under you before it explodes
 +
 
 +
====A high jump with third HH====
 +
 
 +
*Throw first conc on the ground.
 +
*Throw second conc on the ground, where the first conc was dropped, at 1.5 beeps.
 +
*Prime third asap.
 +
*Jump before first explodes. With right timing you should land on the second concs conc blast.
 +
*Hold third conc and do a hand held after hitting second concs conc blast.
 +
 
 +
====A long forward jump====
 +
 
 +
*Throw first conc on the ground.
 +
*Throw second conc as far away as you can in the direction you are going on 1,2-1,5 beeps.
 +
*Prime third conc on the 3-3,5 beep.
 +
*Crouch and jump in front of second conc.
 +
*Hit second conc in front of the blast and HH third.
 +
 
 +
===Juggling===
 +
 
 +
Juggling allows you to gain extreme amounts of height, simply by continuously dropping concs under you, one by one in mid air to get you higher and higher. Depending on your upwards speed, you will need to drop the conc below you either sooner or later.
 +
 
 +
Start as described in "What you can do with 3 concs" and keep on priming concs in mid air at each beep and drop them below you.
 +
 
 +
===Combos===
 +
 
 +
We havent seen the really hard concmaps in FF yet, but they will probably come.
 +
 
 +
Hard jumps often use a combination of all described techniques. It can be very high juggle jumps, jumps with huge drops, jumps with extreme demands on timing, jumps with so many walls to pass that you will loose
 +
count of them. Some of the hardest jumps for TFC nowadays can use up to 10 concs or more to complete.
 +
 
 +
===Summary===
 +
 
 +
I don't know how useful this was or how crazy you think I am, but I hope it can help some of the few who actually want to learn advanced concing.
 +
 
 +
In a usual game of fragging the prestige is in counting how many frags you got. On concmaps it is the reward of hearing the spectators say "GJ" when you worked your ass off to finish a concmap, and of course the fact you have massively improved your skill of using concussion grenades to move around.
 +
 
 +
I dont know about you, but that turns me on :).

===What you can do with 3 concs===
 +
 
 +
====An Ultra High Jump====
 +
 
 +
*Prime the first conc and throw it on the ground.
 +
*Prime a second conc at the second beep, and throw it on the ground, where the first conc was dropped.
 +
*Prime a third and final conc, but use this as a hand held conc.
 +
*Crouch on top of the first 2 concs, and jump right before the first one goes off.
 +
 
 +
The second conc will then throw you very high up, but the 3rd will hand held you ultra high.
 +
 
 +
====The Flower Technique====
 +
 
 +
*Prime the first conc and throw it on the ground.
 +
*Prime a second conc at the second beep, but use this as a hand held conc.
 +
*Stand over the first conc, and jump right before it goes off. Looking up at the same exact time you jump, throw your second conc above you.
 +
*Prime a third conc immediately after throwing the second conc, then throw below you for maximum height.
 +
 
 +
This doesn't really get you a super amoung of height, but it looks really cool when done correctly.
 +
 
 +
====Prepriming====
 +
 
 +
*First, prime a conc and throw it to your side.
 +
*Second, prime a 2nd conc at the 2nd beep of the first conc, then throw it out in front of you, preferrably into an open area.
 +
*Third, prime a 3rd conc immediately after the 2nd conc is thrown, and hold onto it, as it will be used as a hand held.
 +
*Next, Jump in front of the 1st conc so it pushes you in the direction of the 2nd conc, and the 2nd one, if timed correctly, should pop you up, or further forward, depending on if it was thrown into a pit, or if it's on even land.
 +
*Once it pops you up, the 3rd should go off, as the hand held, and give you lots of height, or lots of speed, depending on how you hit that second conc.
 +
 
 +
There are many ways to do this technique, as many levels in maps have pits that seem impossible to get out of. If you do this correctly, you can pop yourself out, up and up further to get through what may seem to be impossible obstacles.
 +
 
 +
===What you can do with 5 concs===
 +
 
 +
====A Double Hand Held Jump====
 +
 
 +
*First, follow the Ultra High Jump technique.
 +
*Once airborne, prime a 4th conc as soon as the third conc goes off from the ultra high jump, and look in an upwards direction. Then release it as you start slowing down, but do not wait to release it after you start falling. This will cause your grenade to go in an upwards direction, and if released just right, it will catch up to you when you go in a downward direction, propelling you back up.
 +
*Once released, immediately prime a 5th conc. Use this as a hand held so when you hit the 4th, you will have a better chance of doing a hand held.
 +
 
 +
This is a very hard trick to pull off, especially in Fortress Forever. In TFC, it took me about 50 tries to get it down. How it works is similar to the flower technique, but airborne. You throw the conc above you while you are still going upwards, and when you start falling, the conc should then catch up to you, then go off, shooting you back up, and if you primed that 5th conc immediately, this should allow you to hand held it. But, even some very experienced concers cannot do this, so if you can do this, you will have achieved greatness.
 +
 
 +
===Base concing (pun definitely intended)===
 +
 
 +
====Entering/exiting an enemy base====
 +
 
 +
*First, you prime a conc and time it so as soon as you enter the enemy base or specific area, it is about to go off. This allows you to reach areas usually unattainable, and also throws off the enemy defense as sometimes you will dizzy them with your conc, or disallow them to react fast enough to the speed you get when you hand held.
 +
*Second, is planning what to do once you've reached your destination. If it's a flag you're trying to grab, make sure to take into account enemies in the room, or sentry guns, so watch out.
 +
*Once you get what you need, you can use this technique to exit as well, and in certain maps, it can be very useful.
 +
*When making your exit, you can think ahead by anticipating how far away the enemy is from you, and if you are afraid they might be close enough to kill you, prime a grenade, hold onto it, drop it below you when you think when it goes off, they'll have hit it, making your escape much easier.
 +
 
 +
An example: You are on the map 2fort, and you are offense, you enter through the enemy base down the spiral, and hear a sentry gun inside the flag room in the corner opposite the flag. Well, if you are out of regular grenades, it might be a bit difficult to get in and get out, especially if it's a level 3 sg. Prime a conc, throw it on the floor, and anticipate how long it will take for that conc to get you to the flag, and prime a 2nd conc immediately when this occurs to you. Once the first goes off, already be prepared to have that second conc take you for a ride after you've grabbed the flag, and hand held it. This will hopefully get you back out of the room, almost untouched, and maybe even have a 3rd conc ready to throw at the bottom of the enemy elevator to pop yourself up and exit with the flag.

Concussion grenade jumping, also referred to as Concjumping or just Concing, is a movement skill based around using a scout or medic's concussion grenades, which is used to push the player in a direction of the player's choice.

Getting the right angles/height on the jumps can be difficult and takes some practice. There are basically two ways you can go about doing them - dropped concs and hand held (HH) concs. The latter (HH Concs) being the more difficult. Dropped concs will in most situations give you enough height/push on most maps and is the easier of the two. Hand Held concs require a set of things and can be unpredictable. For either technique keep in mind you can/have to steer yourself in the air after the conc so the enemy can't predict where you're going and it gives you more precision on where you land. Get good at steering yourself in the air with dropped concs and you can get more precision on your landings than with HH concing. For most complicated jumps (eg. over ruins on Epicenter) HH concing is a must.

Basic Concjumping Techniques

Timing

I never used anything else than the beeps to find the right timing for the concs. In FF you also have the conc timer on the hud. I might get flamed by saying this but forget the hud timer and use your ears. The timing of the conc is now client side in FF which means you will have no lag between the beeps and when the conc actually explodes. This is a huge leep forward compared to TFC and should make it a whole lot easier.

So just use your basic rythm feeling and listen to the beeps.

  • beep* *beep* *beep* *explode*

The power of the conc

What you want is to get the most power out of the conc blast as possible. To do this you need to be at the optimal distance to the conc when it explodes.

See the conc blast as a spheric energy with deminishing power the further away from the conc you are.

You will get the best power when you are at the edge of the conc blast. The exception to this is when the conc is on the ground as the ground rips power off the conc. The same goes for walls ofc.

But if you have a conc on the ground and jump just before it goes off you will get a good push.

The angle of the conc blast

If you see the conc blast as a spheric energy its easy to get this.

  • If you drop a conc below you to the left the conc will push you upwards to the right.
  • Dropped under you, it will push you upwards.
  • Dropped above you it will push you downwards.

Remember, the conc can take you in any direction, just adjust the angle and it will take you there.

Prime and hold

To make a conc explode instantly, prime it (aka holding down the mouse button for the conc) and drop it just before it explodes. This can be used in mid air, or standing still. Often used to do jumps where more than one conc is involved.

Strafing

By strafing means making turns in mid air using the mouse button in combination with left or right keys. For a lot of jumps you need to learn strafing.

What you can do with 1 conc

If you got the timing right you can use 1 conc to get quite far. I will use ff_charybda as an example. j1 on charybda needs only 1 conc to pull off. Just prime and hold the conc, jump off the edge and drop the conc below you to the left.

Check the trajectory angle and drop the conc accordingly.

Many jumps are also done by using one Hand Held. A hand held conc is a conc you prime and dont let go off. You just hold it and jump at the exact time it explodes. This can take you forward or upwards at a significant speed.

What you can do with 2 concs

A double forward jump

  • Throw first conc on the ground.
  • Prime and hold second conc on second beep
  • Jump before first explodes and drop the second in mid air just behind you.

A double high jump

  • Throw first conc on the ground.
  • Prime and hold second on second beep
  • Stand on top of the first conc and jump just before it explodes and drop second under you.

A double jump with second hand held

  • Throw first conc on the ground.
  • Prime and hold second conc as fast as you can
  • Jump before first explodes and dont let go of second conc. The second conc will explode in your hand and propell you forward at an amazing speed :).

What you can do with 3 concs

A lot of things, I give some basic use of it.

A high jump

  • Throw first conc on the ground
  • Prime and hold a second conc on the second beep of the first conc
  • Once the first conc shoots you upwards, drop the second below you in mid air
  • Immediately prime a third conc, 2nd one will go off, shooting you further upward
  • Drop third under you before it explodes

A high jump with third HH

  • Throw first conc on the ground.
  • Throw second conc on the ground, where the first conc was dropped, at 1.5 beeps.
  • Prime third asap.
  • Jump before first explodes. With right timing you should land on the second concs conc blast.
  • Hold third conc and do a hand held after hitting second concs conc blast.

A long forward jump

  • Throw first conc on the ground.
  • Throw second conc as far away as you can in the direction you are going on 1,2-1,5 beeps.
  • Prime third conc on the 3-3,5 beep.
  • Crouch and jump in front of second conc.
  • Hit second conc in front of the blast and HH third.

Juggling

Juggling allows you to gain extreme amounts of height, simply by continuously dropping concs under you, one by one in mid air to get you higher and higher. Depending on your upwards speed, you will need to drop the conc below you either sooner or later.

Start as described in "What you can do with 3 concs" and keep on priming concs in mid air at each beep and drop them below you.

Combos

We havent seen the really hard concmaps in FF yet, but they will probably come.

Hard jumps often use a combination of all described techniques. It can be very high juggle jumps, jumps with huge drops, jumps with extreme demands on timing, jumps with so many walls to pass that you will loose count of them. Some of the hardest jumps for TFC nowadays can use up to 10 concs or more to complete.

Summary

I don't know how useful this was or how crazy you think I am, but I hope it can help some of the few who actually want to learn advanced concing.

In a usual game of fragging the prestige is in counting how many frags you got. On concmaps it is the reward of hearing the spectators say "GJ" when you worked your ass off to finish a concmap, and of course the fact you have massively improved your skill of using concussion grenades to move around.

I dont know about you, but that turns me on :).

Advanced Concjumping Techniques

(++KARMA to KubeDawg who took the time to add this section)

What you can do with 3 concs

An Ultra High Jump

  • Prime the first conc and throw it on the ground.
  • Prime a second conc at the second beep, and throw it on the ground, where the first conc was dropped.
  • Prime a third and final conc, but use this as a hand held conc.
  • Crouch on top of the first 2 concs, and jump right before the first one goes off.

The second conc will then throw you very high up, but the 3rd will hand held you ultra high.

The Flower Technique

  • Prime the first conc and throw it on the ground.
  • Prime a second conc at the second beep, but use this as a hand held conc.
  • Stand over the first conc, and jump right before it goes off. Looking up at the same exact time you jump, throw your second conc above you.
  • Prime a third conc immediately after throwing the second conc, then throw below you for maximum height.

This doesn't really get you a super amoung of height, but it looks really cool when done correctly.

Prepriming

  • First, prime a conc and throw it to your side.
  • Second, prime a 2nd conc at the 2nd beep of the first conc, then throw it out in front of you, preferrably into an open area.
  • Third, prime a 3rd conc immediately after the 2nd conc is thrown, and hold onto it, as it will be used as a hand held.
  • Next, Jump in front of the 1st conc so it pushes you in the direction of the 2nd conc, and the 2nd one, if timed correctly, should pop you up, or further forward, depending on if it was thrown into a pit, or if it's on even land.
  • Once it pops you up, the 3rd should go off, as the hand held, and give you lots of height, or lots of speed, depending on how you hit that second conc.

There are many ways to do this technique, as many levels in maps have pits that seem impossible to get out of. If you do this correctly, you can pop yourself out, up and up further to get through what may seem to be impossible obstacles.

What you can do with 5 concs

A Double Hand Held Jump

  • First, follow the Ultra High Jump technique.
  • Once airborne, prime a 4th conc as soon as the third conc goes off from the ultra high jump, and look in an upwards direction. Then release it as you start slowing down, but do not wait to release it after you start falling. This will cause your grenade to go in an upwards direction, and if released just right, it will catch up to you when you go in a downward direction, propelling you back up.
  • Once released, immediately prime a 5th conc. Use this as a hand held so when you hit the 4th, you will have a better chance of doing a hand held.

This is a very hard trick to pull off, especially in Fortress Forever. In TFC, it took me about 50 tries to get it down. How it works is similar to the flower technique, but airborne. You throw the conc above you while you are still going upwards, and when you start falling, the conc should then catch up to you, then go off, shooting you back up, and if you primed that 5th conc immediately, this should allow you to hand held it. But, even some very experienced concers cannot do this, so if you can do this, you will have achieved greatness.

Base concing (pun definitely intended)

Entering/exiting an enemy base

  • First, you prime a conc and time it so as soon as you enter the enemy base or specific area, it is about to go off. This allows you to reach areas usually unattainable, and also throws off the enemy defense as sometimes you will dizzy them with your conc, or disallow them to react fast enough to the speed you get when you hand held.
  • Second, is planning what to do once you've reached your destination. If it's a flag you're trying to grab, make sure to take into account enemies in the room, or sentry guns, so watch out.
  • Once you get what you need, you can use this technique to exit as well, and in certain maps, it can be very useful.
  • When making your exit, you can think ahead by anticipating how far away the enemy is from you, and if you are afraid they might be close enough to kill you, prime a grenade, hold onto it, drop it below you when you think when it goes off, they'll have hit it, making your escape much easier.

An example: You are on the map 2fort, and you are offense, you enter through the enemy base down the spiral, and hear a sentry gun inside the flag room in the corner opposite the flag. Well, if you are out of regular grenades, it might be a bit difficult to get in and get out, especially if it's a level 3 sg. Prime a conc, throw it on the floor, and anticipate how long it will take for that conc to get you to the flag, and prime a 2nd conc immediately when this occurs to you. Once the first goes off, already be prepared to have that second conc take you for a ride after you've grabbed the flag, and hand held it. This will hopefully get you back out of the room, almost untouched, and maybe even have a 3rd conc ready to throw at the bottom of the enemy elevator to pop yourself up and exit with the flag.
