Im so excited, Star Citizen is nerfing strafing by adding physics :3 first fps I know of where lame ass strafing won't be a legit tactic

MechWarrior: Online. Acceleration & deceleration and no side to side movement (you rotate your torso independently of your legs) so while it's possible to run circles around someone, it's not possible to wiggle back and forth in one spot.

Little different comparing a mech game to infantry shooters.

I found, at least in BF3, that there was enough intertia that the "wiggle wiggle" wasn't a thing, but that a certain amount of legitimate strafing was still in play.

Anyone trying to wiggle essentially walked forwards in a straight line slowly and looking extremely awkward.

CCP needs to kill strafing. Add a short delay before changing directions (people don't magically slide around, we need to plant a foot before changing direction), as well as greatly decrease hipfire accuracy when strafing.

I don't mean this to be insulting or to get into a flame war. I mean this in the most polite way I can: "Why?"

I read all of these posts about killing strafing and I have to wonder "why?" It isn't like Tanks, Minmatar Assault, or Scrambler Rifle where it takes a large amount of SP to get into and means you cannot do what you wanted; anyone is capable of moving their stick to the left and right (and even up-down, in-out *Groucho glasses*) and it doesn't preclude a certain playstyle, though Sentinels are worse at it.

To me, it seems like a balance of things. You can move really fast and be hard to hit with low HP or you can be the big dump truck of a guy with a weapon that has to be transported via train tracks. So, again, I ask in the most respectful way possible: "Why?"

It's because of how glitchy it is. And because lag can already give you a movement advantage

It's also a bit unnatural that there is no inertia
If Ratti wants to reduce walking backwards speed he can reduce strafing for the same reason

And lastly (unconfirmed?) Kb/m strafe has an advantage of no deadspot

The pathetic thing is that it's not different at all.

MechWarrior Online is an FPS with player models that look like 'Mechs from Battletech and in some ways try to move like them. It's a pale shadow compared to the real MechWarrior games.

I still remember when I first played MechWarrior 2 when I was 10. THAT was a 'Mech sim.

Because strafing is unrealistic, and promotes charging in with no plan aside from "run in and kill everybody"

Faster dropsuits have the advantage of reacting to changes on the battlefield more easily, as well as moving between cover before the enemy can concentrate fire on them.

Don't forget that lighter dropsuits have more than movement speed behind them: they have faster regen as well.

You're playing a ******* space shooter and you're talking about realism?

Weird how only people who don't strafe and stand still like a ******* blue dot moan about strafing. Get good.

Space and guns are not real? Well **** , my world just went upside down. We do run advanced tech suits, so they should be swift..but there should still be some bit of delay in it..however with some , reportedly the kb/m users..there is no delay at all when switching directions..you can't just auto pivot, we are not fkn hovering.

Resistance games had no strafing BS either.
