While fooling around in the demo, I accidently came across a way of being able to jump incredible heights using barrels, boxes and probably other items as well. You have to be carefull where you land, of course, as you can take a lot of damage, and even kill yourself when you land.

Getting to the areas shown in these pics allow you to do some sightseeing and section skipping.

To be able to Frob Jump - for a lack of a better phrase - try the following steps (as I've only played the demo, this info might not apply to the full version):
1) Jump over an object while looking down at your feet. Keep holding the jump key for the remainder of these steps.
2) Frob an object (right-click), such as a barrel, whilst still in mid flight and make sure that you frob it or another item before you land and you will effectively double your jumping height.
3) Repeat until you've reached your desired height.
This can be quite tricky at first, requires some patience and usually takes several attempts to pull off successfully.

What's your problem?

I had my share of Terminal Life Signs due to 'frob jumping', and not so much because of fall damage but rather jumping too high! Seems the boundries of the map are lethal if touched and occasionally you get that one Super Frob that catapults you into the stratosphere where I suppose the air is a bit on the thin side :o

Yea, I found out that in my first play time of the demo. Pretty funny.
BTW. You can also catapult your fellow dead or unconscious friends by throwing them to a horisontal barrel. You need to hit the center presicely, and they will fly to like bullets.

Now let's all be quiet and maybe they'll leave this feature in for Thief.
