Basic basics, or what I wish someone had told me half a year ago

I like this guide; nice work.

The most simple way to do this is to run forward and simply keep the jump button pressed. Your character will jump again the moment he lands, without you having to worry about timing hitting the jump key. Just try it out and you will notice you get faster and faster. Unlike other games, Xonotic does not need you to do this with strange key combinations or even with circular movements of the mouse - trying to do these will generally make you slower.

I don't think this is completely true; with 0.5 physics I'm pretty sure you can still gain speed strafejumping rather than just holding jump and forward. Or did it just mean that if you don't know how to strafejump, trying it may not work?
