When you are an infantry soldier and you just happen to go on Tiberium, does jumping actually reduce the time it takes for you to die? Simple things like you jump and your not on Tiberium for those little seconds anymore, but does it have an effect?

Seriously people how can you fight a war on terrorism with all of your borders wide open!

I think that it takes less time to get to the other side of the tiberium if you are jumping. But if nothing else, at least snipers will have a harder time trying to kill you.

In theory I would think that if you jumped just before getting into the tiberium and jumped out of the tiberium so that you landed just outside of it, you would saved maybe one HP or something like that. Apart from that I don't know if it really helps

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Well, what if you want to get new character, or want to get back to the base more quicky or both things at the same time? In these cases, walking into tibarium is good idea.

At some times and places it is a better idea to walk in the tiberium than to go around it. An example is on complex, where you can get the box(or crate if you're using the SSAOW crates) much faster if you walk through the tiberium on the side instead of going over top or through the tunnels.

On volcano I always use the tiberium field at the beginning of the game. Many a Power Plant have fallen to my Hotwire/technician that way.

I find that jumping does save health, though not by much. I think the damage you take after getting off the field is less than when you're on the field, so those few seconds you spend in the air while jumping across save a few points of damage.

But I could be wrong.

It only helps if you jump at the beginning and at the end...jumping at other points will actually damage you more since you move slower.

Actually jumping on tiberium makes you more visible, esspecially to a sniper... You know the green trails....

I did an experiment on this using Complex running then jumping across here with an engineer:

The results show that jumping does make a difference, the remaing health after the tests were:

Running straight across with Eng: 59
Jumping in a straight line across with Eng: 76

Yea, well it's better than giving your opposing team points.
And it's better than the sucide botton. Unless you are on a BC server, but then you STILL have to wait like 10 seconds right?!.
