FPS Switch for long jump

[Stanky]

I keep seeing tutorials for switching your fps to 125 to get a long jump. Is this considered legal?

my guess would be yes, why not? it is in the game code and it requires a bind that switches your fps to 125 which is all fine with the game.

Yes it is, if you really want I can dig up the thread it is deep in the dark parts of the forums. But yes it is fine, and most serious player run their game at either 125, 250 or 333. The sweet spots of the quake engine that COD4 runs off of. It does give some advantage yes, but it takes skill to take advantage of the advantages that the advantages grant to your advantage. Just one more, ADVANTAGE! In seriousness, you don't become the worlds best player just because you lock your fps at 125, just a regular jump doesn't really do anything different at 125 you usually have to strafe jump. Other benefits that are gained, but you have to know about them to take get any benefit. There are tons of youtube video concerning it.

^What they said. Also, I'm pretty sure there is a sweet spot under 100 fps (I think I heard it was 75?), but I've never bothered to look or change it.

I found this (NOTE: I am not advertising or condoning using any of the information I have provided, I am just putting it out there to show the calculations used)(also, everyone already said some sweet spots)

 

"Viable Frame rates (FPS) = int(1000 / N)

 

N = time in milliseconds between frames

int() = integer function

 

The only valid values are those which are equal to (1000/N) where N is an integer.

 

Here are valid Com_MaxFPS's:

 

1000/1 = 1000

1000/2 = 500

1000/3 = 333

1000/4 = 250

1000/5 = 200

1000/6 = 166

1000/7 = 142

1000/8 = 125

1000/9 = 111

1000/10 = 100

1000/11 = 90

1000/12 = 83

1000/13 = 76

1000/14 = 71

1000/15 = 66

1000/16 = 62

1000/17 = 58

1000/18 = 55"
