This should have players jump off the ramp without losing speed. When approaching an incline, players should flick their mouse up to help strafe upwards.A ramp at the left needs D Key (counter-move to the right) to keep players afloat. Where to strafe depends on the orientation of the ramp.
Strafing should avoid the downwards motion. Players should experience a sliding motion while falling downwards. They need to hit the edge of the ramp. This should bring them straight to a first ramp. When spawning in a Surf Map, players need to walk on the first edge they see and jump. This movement, alongside strafing itself, is a core Surfing mechanic. In the core gameplay, pressing W and either the A and D keys would have the player walk diagonally. As fans remember, players can strafe in the game or walk left and right by pressing the A and D keys, respectively. And if players get bored enough, some Surf Maps feature combat elements that try to incorporate the map’s rather chaotic environment.Īt its core, Surfing relies on the modification of the game’s strafe mechanic to work. This lets them land on new ramps and do the same thing over again.ĭue to this simple mechanic, Surf Maps often feature various ramps of increasing difficulty. Since players retain their velocity, they can theoretically change their direction in mid-air. This results in extremely high jumps that ordinary maps don’t support. Players get launched off the ramp while maintaining their velocity. 
These maps often feature slanted walls or ramps designed for players to “strafe” or Surf in and gradually increase their velocity. Surfing is best used in Surf Maps built specifically to accommodate Surfing. As a result, Surfing will have players strafe on surfaces at a much faster rate. Instead of the game’s physics stopping a player from sliding after a certain distance, Surfing disables these physics to some degree. At its core, Surfing is a modification of an FPS’s slide mechanic.
