If you're knew to Quake, and aren't sure what a rocket jump is, its basically a jump where you propel yourself further by using the momentum provided by a nearby rocket explosion. I could go into further depth about the technical stuff and the different types, but instead I'll point you towards The Rocket Jumper's Guide, a site dedicated entirely to the fine art of blasting yourself up real high. :)

Rocket jump to Quad |

| Easy stuff. Just RJ from the floor, around where the health packs are, up to the Quad. If you really want, you can even go all the way up to that really odd, useless looking platform next to the Quad. Either way, this is how to get the silent Quad.

Double rocket jump to GL and MH |

| A somewhat counter-productive way to get to the GL/MH if you just want the MH, since you take 100+ points of damage doing two RJ's, but hey, if that's your fancy... From the big middle room with the floor that splits apart, turn to face the big dude on the wall, and note the inset ledge that he lives on. You first RJ is up to that ledge. Once you are on that ledge, move over all the way to the side opposite the GL/MH, and RJ up to that room from there. To do this, you will have to do a manual RJ. First make sure that the platform that floats across the room is on its way to the other side. Then quickly turn around so that your crosshair is slightly to the right of the corner of the ledge, then run backwards, jump, and shoot that rocket into the ledge. You will hopefully go flying all the way over into the GL/MH room, as the mid-RJ screenshot number 3 shows. Note: Even though this little stunt sounds completely useless, you will want to keep in mind the first RJ, 'cos you can use it if someone decides to pull the floor out from under you

Rocket jump to sky |

| Another cool, yet fairly useless RJ. I guess you could use it if you really can't wait for the platform. Take a look at the first picture. From either of the rooms connected by the floating platform, you can do a RJ up the top place thingy, where you will be walking amongst the sky. From there its possible to walk back and forth across the gap between the two rooms, and you can even take shots at people from up there.

Rocket jump for silence |

| If you are an absolute nut about not giving away your position by making platform sounds, then you can do this RJ to avoid using the platform. Yes, the RJ makes a sound too, I know, but its not as distinctive as the platform sound. BTW, this is the platform near the secret door to the RA.

Rocket jump out of the yellow armour rooms |

| If you are one of those people that like to push the button that opens up the floor in the big middle room, yet always seem to get squished right after that, then you should learn this RJ. Press the button in one of the YA rooms, then instead of just sitting there watching people fall into the lava, rocket jump back out to the ledge that you fell into the room from, as in the picture.

Shortcut rocket jump to RA/MH room |

| You know how you have to push that button to make the bridge come out to get to the RA/MH, but after pushing said button, you have to make the big trip all the way around, and invariably along the way you get held up in a firefight and then miss the bridge? Well there's a simple solution to that. After pressing the button, just back up a little bit and look up. You'll notice a little narrow ledge you can land on, as in the picture, which is the shortcut into the RA/MH room. You guessed it, just RJ up there. Make sure you note the grill type floor around where the button is, since shooting your rocket down through the grill will screw up the RJ. I suggest learning to do a manual RJ for this one, to shoot yourself straight into that little hole.

Rocket jump across lava to RA & MH |

| If you don't fancy jumping across the lava, or pings are just too bad to risk it, you can still just RJ over. Just make sure that you do a manual rocket jump, 'cos an aliased RJ will pop you into the ceiling and then into the lava. Oh, and you can RJ back over as well.
