1. The wiggle dance has more or less replaced tactical movement and use of cover.

2. I'd like to be able to turn off AA and aim please.

Strafing is and has been a staple of FPS gameplay for some time and it's strength is amplified on a console shooter due to the natural imprecision of the control pad as a method for control in an FPS. Dust further reinforces movement as it's primary defense for various reasons.

I'm far more concerned with the bunny hoppers who can jump anything up to 2-3 stories high than I am with strafing. The use of cover is dangerous in this game as you can be one-shotted with a great deal of ease even when pretty well tanked and warbarge strikes further compound issues with cover (barring snipers and other distance campers obviously) so that movement is just the best defense you can have. Part of that is the "wiggle dance" you seem to hate.

People do so much damage that even in cover, any angle you can be shot at will kill you, with the general ineffectiveness of the radar (to encourage scanning, a very clever mechanic), no cover is truly safe as it would be in a more traditional FPS like one of the Halo Series for example. All of this pushes down the trend towards cover and tactical movement and pushes up the use of strafing and semi-randomised movement in the game. Combine this with remote explosives and mass drivers and other large splash damage weapons and cover is a very dangerous place to be, not inherently, but just because standing in one place is generally suicide.

If you want to push it back the other way then you need to do more than just nerf movement, cover has to be reasonable and safer than it currently is. I have no idea how you would implement it, but I would buff cover so that if you're shot when you're in cover you get a form of damage resistance/hardening to your shields/armour. Cover dampens damage that comes from the side you are in cover or something similar to that. Off the top of my head I can't think of a reasonable way to implement this but I'm sure people here would have other ideas for buffing cover.

Looks pretty much like what I see in-game currently to me. What is it you are unhappy with in that case?

Of course it is, but 1/3 speed cut is a hell of a nerf to have to swallow for the sake of 1 negative behaviour and smacks of overkill.

PROPOSAL
You do not need true-to-physics deceleration and acceleration to fix this problem. One piece alone would kill the wiggle-hit-detection-break-dance. Without changing the current mechanics of the game, simply change the rate at which you accelerate when you BEGIN a strafe (or any new vector of movement). There is no need for deceleration when you stop. Allow mercs to come to dead stops just as they do now, the magic should only be when beginning a strafe, there should be a minor ramp-up to speed. That alone would be enough to help hit detection and would "simulate" inertia without necessarily being as complex.

Yes, very sure about that.
I made sure that the character is on maximum movement input 100% of the time.

Normally if you strafe to one direction, your crosshairs deviate some amount. If you stop, crosshairs get tighter again.

Now, if you change strafe from left to right, the crosshairs get tighter for a very small moment before widening again.
This indicates that there is a brief moment of non-maximum movement which in turns indicates there is inertia or simple acceleration going on.

Note that this happens even when the input is non-stop.

Yes, let's treat the symptom instead of the cause. I see you're following the old Dust team's philosophy and I agree, why actually fix the problem when we can just cover it up; so much easier that way.

You know, it's kind of funny nobody complained about strafing back in Chrome when hit detection was 10x worse than what we have now and you could strafe around 5-6 guys without fear, oh and back then strafe speed was 100% movement speed; it was only moving backwards that was slowed. Maybe back then we knew that something that's been in FPS's since the first FPS isn't the problem.
