I don't think this is a good idea, if you're saying what I think you're saying. You can change the direction you're sprinting by turning. It doesn't really make much sense to sprint diagonally. Have you ever tried (in real life)?
The reasoning behind diagonal and lateral movement in a game is that you can't move in one direction and face another without making the controls really awkward. So in real life, you could be running from cover to cover, spraying bullets at your attackers to distract them (you wouldn't hit anything, but you could spray bullets). In a game, you can't run one direction and shoot in another, so they introduced strafing. But since you can't shoot while sprinting anyway, there's really no need for this.

Thing is, I'm not convinced they're separate issues. The patch notes suggest they reduced strafe speed as part of the hit detection fix. Which means they might not be able to bring it back up to the previous level without creating hit detection problems again. Maybe we'll see improvements in the next build that allow them to bring the strafe speed back up. |

Not just run, sprint. If you're running diagonally you're sacrificing speed. The body just isn't built to do it, there's too much foot-over-foot action, it ends up looking like a dance. I've never seen football players sprint diagonally, they always turn and run forward (which we are perfectly capable of doing in this game).
Perhaps more importantly, I don't see how it would add anything to the game. |

So sad that you guys somehow don't understand this, considering the "never played a game that doesn't have this" part. Honestly, have you ever played a game in which you could sprint sideways?
Honestly, I don't see what the problem is. If it's only slight, why not just turn slightly? Since we can turn while sprinting.
And also, I don't know what games you have or haven't played. I honestly haven't tried to sprint diagonally in a game. Never really occurred to me since I don't do it in real life.
Sorry your thread got hijacked into another strafing thread, though. People tried to do that to mine, before it died. |
