Killzone is the only high recoil, high health game I can think of. +1 Proto (getcha forum game up yo)

I still haven't read or experienced anything that puts recent changes in a negative light.

The changes are for the better.

Aim > Strafe
Look @ CS, a VERY realistic game. Strafing is dealt with by decreased weapon accuracy. Tbh, in CS, if you want to shoot anyone, you want to be crouching and stationary, and burst fire. That's quite a lot to add to the mechanics to all weapons, though I posted about that at sometime. However it became clear we had good arena mechanics that allowed for tactical gameplay.
Strafing isn't a "skill" it's simply how the game allows you to interact with your surrounding. It's part of movement.

Listen to the intro video. Fast and frantic the women said. Not slow and meditated.

He said bad company, which was an amazing game.

I won't go as far as to say that skill is gone from the game, but a lot of what made fire fights fun is gone and controls in general feel much more sluggish and unresponsive.

The strafe speed nerf makes sense in the context of strafing needing to be several percentage points south of forward motion in terms of top speed - I would even suggest faking the effect of momentum by having the current movement speed figure negatively on acceleration on directional changes, rather than a real application of momentum by the physics engine that would be not only resource intensive but also difficult to apply properly and probably end up feeling too floaty.

I compared movement in this game to fighting on office chairs. This un-natural movement combined with the poor hit detection made for a frustrating game at times. However, this definitely needs to rounded off quite a bit. Movement is now wholly unnatural and unsatisfying.

Well stated. Also, strafing should affect accuracy. Walking/running sideways and shooting is awkward.

All movement currently makes accuracy lower. when you move you will notice the cross-hairs open wider. If you are saying this should be more severe on strafing, I would disagree.

Moving slower, and thus taking less frequent steps gives you more time to adjust your aim for disruptions caused by taking steps than while jogging or sprinting.
Sidestepping in this case would also be more of a series of jumping jack like hops which would be easy for a skilled soldier to adjust for - We are talking about athletic individuals here.

I think the AR could use a LOT more recoil tbh, but decreased by skills.
As I say in every thread like this, the "Trinity" that would help is

1. A small buff (10-20%) to lateral strafe speed

2. Heightened recoil on assault rifles, decreasable by skills

3. Tiered strafe speeds for dropsuits; Scout - fast, Assault - moderate, logi - moderate, heavy - slow.

This would bring more skill and unpredictablity to gunfights without going to one extreme or the other.

A compromise, if you will.

by reducing the strafe speed... Well done indeed, now pat yourselves on the back and acknowledge what a great job you've done.

I'm especially thrilled about it since it will turn the game even more towards "blob warfare", I'll unlock a Logi suit tonight.

Please continue to cater to players who isn't as good as me at aiming and moving about, they need all the help they can get.

So........ by hit detections being bad, you were better at aiming, and when hit detection is fixed, your a bad player?



If you thought last build, with hit detection issues, was better in terms of hit detection, then you are a very strange and philosophically warped individual

Last build, a scout suit player could just zig zag and use the hit detection issues to his favour, now a person zig zags and its still a smart and typical FPS tactic (and those who complain against strafe speed im against) but now its not the engine ******* peoples aim up.
