How do you jump backwards when hanging from a wall in Assassin's Creed 2 for the PC?
Solution 1:
The correct way to jump backwards is to hold high-profile (RMB by default) and hit jump (Space by default) without touching any movement keys.
Solution 2:
...I dont know why I couldn't find this answer anywhere online, I know this has to be a big problem for other people. I finally got it after hiting every combination of buttons
to jump backwards off a wall, to the wall behind you:
press and hold the high profile (right mouse button) w and s, then tap the space, presto chango
this seems so simple now and I feel like a fool for having issues..
