There is no way to get up there unless an explosion propels you. There are passageways to the left and right, and battlements along the sides of the yard where the defenders can stand and shoot you. You enter the gate at the base of that wall, go through an inner room, go up a ramp, and then emerge into a very large square yard. There was a fortress wall with water separating them. Two teams had identical bases styled after prisons. There was a beautiful map called The Rock. If the opposing team manages to lock down an area with two or three fully upgraded sentries, it could be nearly impossible to break. I remember sentry guns in particular as being particularly deadly if you heard the sound of one locking on, you'd shortly be dead on the ground after two or three bullets, and a few rockets would follow to obliterate your corpse. TF-classic-classic was even faster and more chaotic, as I recall all the weapons were much more powerful and death was quick. This must have been fifteen years ago, maybe, when I was in my early teens. It is now time to tell the story of my greatest video game achievement, back in the original quakeworld team fortress. Posted by Pink Fuzzy Bunny at 9:11 AM on May 6, 2012 I still think things went downhill when they got rid of grenades, it was always a hoot to time the priming just right so the MIRV would blow up right in the guys face as he ran by. I also miss the simple joy of playing as an engineer and tossing an EMP grenade (causes the opponents ammo to explode) up into the ceiling of 2fort, right below the enemy spawn area and blowing up a half dozen guys reloading. I think the feeling was helped by the fact that on the last 10 attempts I had my head blown off by a sniper in mid air. There was nothing quite like the feeling of playing as a scout, grabbing the flag and doing a double conc jump to fly past the perfectly placed and maxed sentry guns, spun up heavies and soldiers to land on the cap point on dustbowl without taking a lick of damage. Changed it to this and the accusations stopped (and the propositions started.) Actually thats where my name came from, I used to play as xSkUzZix (it was the 90's.) till I got accused of cheating, constantly. Aww man that brings back memories, I used to play team fortress competitively.
