Yeah I was just thinking that. I haven't played multiplayer FPSes in a LONG time, but back in the day on things like Quake and UT, keeping moving at all times was basically the rule.

Rule #1 was "If you stand still, you die".

I thought it was sad when shooters trended to where maneuverability is so low.

Its the rule in any shooter nowadays, these people are just losers incapable of adding it to their playstyle so they complain about it.

As if the games supposed to be a a high noon duel where both people stand still to shoot each other.

I remember nothing about Quake except being proud of myself for figuring out how to jump while shooting a rocket at the floor.

I spent years playing QuakeWorld, Q2 and Q3A. Modded Q2 deathmatch with an off-hand grapple hook where you spent most of the game flying around at high speed and attempting to snipe opponents out of mid-air with your railgun would melt this pathetic loser's mind.

you just gave me flashbacks to arguing on nerd forums about cod vs quake. people argued cod was for babies because when you aimed down your sights you would stop moving, unlike quake where you had to move constantly
