No. The strafe speeds is one of the best parts about this game. It should not be lowered.

I imagine this one is going to be a hard one for CCP.

Once you have a mouse and keyboard in the mix this won't be an issue, but then you have in place the expectation that everyone playing (at least anyone who wants to be able to get more than a rare kill) will have a mouse/keyboard. I'm lucky in that I have a good setup for using the M/K but a lot people don't have a desk in their living room in front of their TVs.

I don't know how you find the happy medium between controller (which, lets be honest, cripples FPS gameplay) and precise mouse/keyboard action.

P.S. I would like to be able to actually move backwards while not on the battlefield. That's just frustrating.

That would imply that you are very reliant on it to get you kills.

I hate the fact people are treating this as a fast paced-kill only game.


Killing & winning should be decided on who's the smartest and more tactful - not who's been playing other fast paced FPS games constantly.

Please slow the extremely fast side to side movement rate that allows players to dodge bullets! Combat dancing is really lame and unrealistic even for "super" fighters. Side stepping is not as fast as walking forward.

You must be terrible at halo.

i have 2 solutions for OP's problem



#1. Aim better?
#2. Aim better while dancing a better dance?

What does halo have anything to do with this game ive seen people bring up your argument before and all ive got to say after looking into some halo gameplay what a joke that game is it looks like pure rubish.

Why do most of the fellas who support the straffing speed as it is always fail to make a valid argument with out resorting to oh you must get better at the game or you cant shoot or what ever. All i have to say is that straffing is your lifeline and its painfully obvious when ye get so uppedy when people who are trying to make the game better by trying to get something done which would make the game alot better.

Like seriously if you get the jump on someone (to the fella that said luckily see someone first you will find there is a skill to hunting enemies while making sure they dont see you) the you start firing what do i expect them to do start damncing no not realy, stand still no again i expect that a advantage of getting the jump on them they should be dead but the strafe dancing is stoping advantages such as that in favor of some one who knows how to push the stick left and then push the stick right and then tap X, shoot back rince reapeat its not that hard to do and honestly a tactic that is going to make this game realy repeditive real quick.

How can this be fixed theres the easy to reduce the healt everyone has and the there is to reduce strafing speed and also to fix hip fire accuracy and effectiveness at medium range

Tired of people getting turned on and embarrased then coming to the forums and telling people the game is broken. Hit detection is a part of it, terrible aim is the majority of it.

Also think its hilarious to see people saying halo looks bad when they openly admit to having never played it. Especially considering it is one of the very few skill based shooters still around.

*facebrick*

must not be very good then
when i get the jump on someone they are dead. If YOU allow them by their natural skill to turn on u and STILL **** u then YOU are not as good as u think u are.

Gettin the jump on someone already gives u a big advantage
lol @ lowering health, health is already fine, hit detection is the problem and hip fire spread is being reduced

u want a game where 1st to see wins gunfights? there is already cod for that, for so much of u that HATE cod u sure want alot of things that makes cod what it is in DUST tbh

lowering strafe speed again will not make the game better, lowering health will not make the game better either. Thats just lowering the skill gap and making it more casual so ppl that cant aim can have an easier time gettin kills
