Can't even think of a game that doesn't have it, so I'm bringing it up again. Movement feels stiff and awkward without it, and it would improve the gameplay by a large portion. I really don't know why you folks at CCP are neglecting it, the human body bends and twists, it isn't made out of steel.
Edit: Apparently I have not made myself clear, or some of you simply want to argue because you can. I am not suggesting that we be able to sprint sideways. What I am suggesting however, is that while sprinting, you be able to twist your hips/torso to allow for slightly diagonal movement, while still looking forward. This allows you to keep your eyes on whatever/wherever you are running towards.
Go play MAG, Blacklight: Retribution, CoD, Battlefield, or any other FPS game you can think of, and try sprinting. Are you only able to run directly forward, and in order to mildly change direction do you have to change where you are looking? Or does your character begin to move slightly diagonal if you move your control stick slightly to the side (or for KBM players, sprint with Shift+W+A/D)?
Edit: Go running some day, and try turning your head to look around without changing direction. It works, I promise; you aren't going to "blue screen" or anything.
To make myself clear about how this applies to my suggestion - diagonal sprinting means sprinting diagonally from your line of sight. Essentially I am saying that you should be able to turn your head and mildly your torso while running. |

Maybe you guys sprint with a back brace on or something, but I know that when I run around a bend, I tilt and twist slightly. I'm not talking about sprinting sideways, just being able to run slightly diagonally.
Edit: I also want to point out I'm not suggesting any type of speed increase. |

I am talking about slight diagonal movement while sprinting, not sprinting sideways. 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? |

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.
I guaranty you do this when sprinting, unless of course, you look where you're going -after- you're on your way. I myself, have never been sprinting north, turned to sprint north east, and then realized "hey, there is something over there that I should run towards". Generally, I would be sprinting north, and I would turn my head to look north east and see something of interest, and only then would I begin to sprint north east.
The diagonal sprinting I am talking about is simply so that you can either A) be aware of your surroundings without changing your direction, or B) run around small obstacles that get in your way without taking your eyes off your target location.
Velvet Overkill wrote:Also with that said I want the nerf to strafing reverted since people can strafe and even not every1 does so at the same speed and efficiency. Skinnier people do it better than heavies so assaults and scouts shouldn't share the same slow strafing speed as a heavy. Heavies aren't even designed for mobility.
This thread is not about the strafe nerf, so please take it elsewhere. |
