# General Movement Factors
Concept
Description
Running Speed
In the past it has been the same forward/back/strafing.
Acceleration
How fast you change direction when moving.
Air Control
How much you can affect the direction of your movement while in the air.
Jump Height
Gravity
Affects how floaty the game feels. With higher gravity, even if the jump impulse is modified to result in the same jump height, you’ll spend less time in the air.
Dodging
Fast low jump in any of the 4 cardinal movement directions, with a sudden deceleration on landing.
Double Jump
Past titles only allowed the double jump to occur at the apex of the jump. UT2004 allowed double jump during dodge, UT3 did not.
Wall Dodge
Ability to perform a dodge while in the air away from a nearby vertical surface.
Impact/Rocket Jumping
Ability to jump extra high by jumping while point impact hammer down or using other splash/impulse providing weapon at cost of some health.
Team Boosting
Ability to provide impact/rocket jumping benefits to teammates, who take no damage in normal team games.
