Lerk Movement
Gliding	Video
If you hold the Jump button Space you can glide in all directions with your current speed you gained by flapping Space
(Counter-)Strafe Mechanics
You do not gain a speedboost by using strafe keys, since you already gain high speed with a few quick flaps Space It is still important to use Counterstrafe as Lerk because your Lerk model and camera tilts. That has several advantages: Your wings move quicker around a corner (you get hit by less bullets) You can see where your lerk is moving more clearly and you can actually hit your targets while turning Your evasive movement is much harder to track
Crouch Diving
If you press the detach button Ctrl you can detach yourself from a wall or rapidly dive down without being forced to look down.
Flapping upwards
If you press the Jump button quickly Space without pressing the Forward button W you will gain height quickly while still maintaining any forward momentum you already had. While doing this you can turn in every direction allowing for better use of Spikes
Spiking Mines
The easiest way to spike a Mine and still be a harder target for a Marine is by quickly flying forwards ( W + Space ) and backwards ( S + Space ) for a second.
