    I'm not sure if it's legal enough to share this with you as it may count as bug-abuse in some particular cases; but anyway:

    1. Be :knight: and buy a bomb.
    2. Throw the bomb on the ground while shields aimed down, with your cursor over the bomb so you can see the timer.
    3. At about 10 milliseconds left (or whichever the unit for the bomb counter is) -somewhere between 10 and 5- press C to pick up the bomb. You gotta be quick.
    4. Green lantern! You may switch class.


    Try not to pick up the bomb too early; no one wants random suicidal teammates in a units based match.
    You've got to time it precisely though. This obviously looks better in servers with shadows. Press F to just throw it and it will disappear.

    Quick demo here (sorry for the bad "half-size" fraps recording quality):

    My apologies, I guess I didn't search for it well enough...

    It's not new, but not everyone knows about it.
