A term first popularized by Id's [[Quake]] but also used in their grand daddy of games, [[Doom (game)|]], albeit not as popular as the former.

It involves using an explosion, usually caused by a rocket from a [[rocket launcher]] but other's also include sticky jumping from [[Demoman (tf2)|]] from [[Team Fortress 2]], and use it to propel the user with great momentum either towards the sky or to a point quickly.

The most prominent user of rocket jumping is [[Soldier (tf2)|]] which in game encourages the player to learn rocket jumping to get to points where are regarded as impossible to be on or get to it quickly.
