interesting code from bg_pmove.c

From the q3 1.17 game source:

// ducking while falling doubles damage
if ( pm->ps->pm_flags & PMF_DUCKED ) {
delta *= 2;
}

Why in the name of naked shamblers would you duck in the air? It doesn't reduce your visible area, at least not to the extent to make it worthwhile?

Perhaps it was added in the name of added "realism" to the physics -- I wonder if world record long jumpers try their damndest to move sideways whilst jumping forward to get that extra bit of distance

Perhaps not.
