Get rid of marauder speedhack

Post by lamefun »

Pressing forward and left or right together makes marauder accelerate much faster, it's a hidden bug-feature so it's a cheat. I think this should be replaced with an intuitive and documented behavior.

This is the very essence of the Marauder.

Probs necro, but if he sees this. I believe it's like strafe jumping on quake. At least when I played quake it was the same.

Best Solution: set air acceleration to Zero. Done. No problems.

Marauder walking speed: 384. Marauder jumping speed: about 480. Marauder cheathacking speed: 1000+. Why is this cheat still kept? Stockholm Syndrome?

This is medically incorrect. The term you mean is skill syndrome.

AKA. sunk cost effect / escalation of commitment / fear of progress.

For an example of a sane movement system look at Red Eclipse.

Marauder is the first available good alien, and it's elitist. Please think.
