Ya, its just some people are unbeatable with strafeing. RealDDC is amazing when he strafes with irpulsar.

Yeah I agree. Its honeslty not possible to kill a smart person who is strafing with pistols. Notice how I say smart person... On Deathmatch if they are walking back constantly you can't hit them but you run towards their shots. I've mentioned this a number of times... NO ONE can walk backwards as fast as they run forwards. Make a speed decrease if you are strafing...

I've noticed that that's the exact strategy that people like ixi or that "dennissomething" noob use on me EVERY TIME I actually die. They pick a lame gun like LRPulsar or Crossbow with long reach and fast bullet speed, and strafe towards me shooting so that I have to either move away or move foward (right into their line of shots). However, if I DO start moving foward and shooting at them, they'll run away like they're scared, while strafing backwards shooting at me so that they're out of reach of my bullets, yet I've got a good chance of running right into theirs. I noticed this when I first started playing Zone and dubbed it the "***** tactic" ; it's as though they can't make up their minds on whether or not they actually want to fight. You chase them, they run like cowards while trying to shoot at you. You try running from them, they desperately chase you shooting lines of bullets. That little tactic is exactly why I rarely play DM. It doesn't work in other planets where you can corner opponents and they can't run and actually HAVE to fight.

People toting huge rifles or giant lazor guns wouldn't generally be able to outrun someone using a handgun either, but this IS a game...>.>

That'd be closing possiblities for new tactics. Strafing with all weapons should be allowed.

i think we've agreed that strafing should make the person slower...they keep the same speed right now x.x

Well unless your running forward. Then you do move at the same speed I would think.

[SayianOozaru]

???O_o???

[Codein]

Aye, strafing at a slower speed is a good idea.

Seriously, stop ****ing complaining about strafing. It's part of the god damn game, GET OVER IT PEOPLE. If you can't deal with it then shut up and go cry in your room. I'm so sick and tired of people *****ing about pistol strafing that it's not even funny anymore.

There's nothing wrong with strafing with pistols. As I said before, It's like taking away "A" and "D" on CS (strafing) and making people use the arrows. I swear if someone starts *****ing about pistol strafing again...

Excuse all my cursing, I've had to hold it in for quite some time now and it's not like you can see through the stars

[xAndrewx]

Zone was based on Era, without the strafe it wouldn't be fun. Don't complain when you die.

[bahamutstevetff]

ya i wanan keep strafe, so i can use my pulsar
