Why can we jump in this game?

Re: Why can we jump in this game?

You can definetly jump in Doom II. There's also a retarded version of mouselook that's (contrary to popular beleif) supported by the engine, but it's so retarded that you're better off not using it.

No, you can´t jump or have mouselook in the original DoomII. It uses DoomI´s engine, with some minor artwork additions.
Heretic and Hexen (which use the modified Doom engine) are a different matter, I´m pretty sure the latter one had (semi)mouselook and jumping.


As for the realism of jumping: With full gear you simply can´t do jumps that would justify implementing them in a realistic game. OFP is a good example that having no jumping won´t hurt the game the slightest bit.

lol, how many times have you jumped in real life to throw something farther?

Every time I play basketball, Shot-put, Javelin, Discus, I'm sure if I had more time to waste I could come up with some better ones.
