85 fps?

Eem, i have a question about demo rules. I still don't understand why your average fps has to be 85, when it's lower than it, then are you better or, does it changes smth?

no. its that when you jump from block to another with 100fps and u land, u feel a bit "slow" for a short time (hope you know what i mean) but with like 30 fps u wont get this "slow" thing and you can just 'run' without losing speed after landing. a bit bad explanation i hope you understood what i mean :)

while in cs 1.5 bunnyjumping was able to be done without any mod the developers decided to disallow it by some slowdown eddect on landing a jump. this slowdown effect becomes less the lower the players fps are. this is possibly the main reason. another reason is that you move slightly faster with low fps and edgebugs become a lot easier.

Lower your fps, the easier it is to make a EB. I'm not sure why, but I'm pretty sure thats a fact.

for example I do a lot of tricks with my friend, 2man stuff mostly and now if Im running down with 99fps and my mate is up with 60fps, he will fall off from my head because he is slower then me. so we always make the exact same fps to have no difference

flibo you cannot prove that low fps make you faster by a plugin bzt as akkord mentioned you can proof it by that way. i personally found this out when i came to the idea to test it ^^ using dev1 + highfps makes you move slower so why should low fps not make you move faster :P
i think all these things are caused because the enginge is fps based but i cannot tell you why cuz im not that familiar with the engine.

1. strafes are easier to handle because you have "more time" wo switch keys when you have lower fps
2. you somehow jump further and have less slowdown with lowfps
3. jb/eb are easier with less fps because you don't have to be that accurate
4. that's the reason why FPS Death is being used.
At first fps death had the task to make sure players have enough fps when playing to make it fair. eDark told me he once made a wr with lowfps just to show the admins how easy it was (he still had to geek some map for a longer time :D). He came up with that demo and then presented fps-death as a solution for the problem. That's the history beyond fps-death :) all the hack/script/plugin detection came later.

"you somehow jump further"
thats not true. cs has a fps-based enginge and the airstrafe effect will just be added at the end of each frame. this mean if you have lower fps you will gain less speed which means you wont jump as far as with 100fps.
