In Tribes, the PC 💎multiplay🎉er shooter,a technique that came to be known as 'skiing' - where (in basic terms) a bit of code dictating friction on slopes, when combined with repeated jumping, created enough momentum to power across the game's huge maps in a matter of seconds.were dedicated to the trick, making for some ludicrous designs.

Surfing turned up in Counter Strike, another friction/slope combination that created an entirely new game mode among faithful players, completethat more closely resemble bonkers rollercoasters. Thankfully, the entertaining skiing trick stayed untouched for the entire Tribes series, and surfing also returned unmolested in Valve's revamped Counter Strike: Source. Are you reading, Blizzard?
