When did strafing become the thing to do in FPS? I don't remember it being a part of Goldeneye, which I have no problem admitting was my first/only experience with FPS until Uncharted 2.
I just don't get it, I thought that CCP was going for a SciFi Sim, in the case of Dust it would make me believe that it is to be a War Sim and when in war do people strafe (note I said people and not planes)? |

Back in 2009 Dust 514 was advertised as a strafe and track style shooter similar to the early Halo series. Thanks to instant gratification addicted CoD junkies, this has been all but lost or CCP is trying to reach some unreachable middle ground. My point is that when's the last time anyone has been in a mid range engagement in this game let alone had a chance to attempt to strafe?
Thank you for the info, though I was honestly asking for a history lesson on when/why strafing became the thing you do when playing FPS. I seriously doubt it was inspired by real life. |

For the record, if you weren't strafing on Goldeneye, you were probably pretty damn awful at Goldeneye.
Well then, I guess me and the ~20 people I regularly played Goldeneye with 15 years ago all sucked. Still haven't found out when/why strafing became the thing FPSers do. |
