i know this isnt a perfect experiment, and maybe i just got unlucky.
but irregardless of the scores, i find it MUCH easier to survive while strafing.. and i think that any move/item/weapon/technique/class that gives you a greatly increased accuracy and greatly increased defense (because of suppresion fire) is BAD -- unbalanced.
the game is quite playable without strafing, but it DOES take more skill. ive been fighting with the LRpulsar, no strafe and doing great -- even close/med range. yes, strafing makes it so much easier.. but it makes killing people too easy. there should be more skill needed.. with strafing, it sorta flattens the skill needed to be good, AND it makes running away and shooting VERY easy to do. for crying out loud, just try taking back out strafing and see what happens..
