I've heard a lot of descriptions of Gunboat jumps to mid on standard maps, and I've tried working them out based on descriptions but I don't seem to be getting great results. How to you reach Gran/Blands at the same speed as Demos/Scouts while still having enough HP to fight?

Thanks, that video was helpful but I was hoping more for something with the clock showing and from spawn-lock. The first jump doesn't seem to actually land you there as quick as your demo because the first couple of jumps seem to be regular speed, and you lose a lot of time jumping off the wall in the ravine.

I'll make a video of the route I usually run on badlands real quick, I'll get it uploaded and posted here in a few.

Ok here it is whenever it decides to process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWShV7hyYmY

My config doesn't show the clock, but i landed on the crate at 41, 43ish is possible with a spawn closer to door, as you can get all the way to bottom of stairs during the lock.

There's definitely faster routes, but this one is easy and consistent, and with a medic buff in the beginning you get to mid ~225 hp.

Also if I'm not mistaken, TLR's first route will get you in house as the enemy scouts are there, and the second with land you on bridge right behind their combo, if you can manage to land all the jumps that is :P.

EDIT: Youtube blows, so here's the direct download: http://www.mediafire.com/?titgeigtz0w

Its not great, but it can be pretty handy.
