How does that have anything to do with my post?

Soul_Rider

I believe this is to do with the new updated double tap code that went in on the last release. I am guessing its just a double tap movement like UT, but simplified to side step and forward rush.

LV426-Colonist

Finish the core of the game, balance it and then add new stuff.

Double tapping is very annoying... i beg you not to introduce any thing of the sort

If sprinting for marines turned into a double tap mechanic, it would free up the shift key so walking can come back.

NS1 had a pretty interesting way of walking by tapping the forward key so that you never break the speed treshold that makes footsteps to be played. It works quite nicely once you actually know about it. I'm not sure if the NS2 movement and animation mechanics are easily suited for such system though.

In medicine, "foleying" someone refers to putting a Foley catheter into their urethra up into their bladder. I'm not sure a flying Lerk is going to put up with that.

We're moving the Fade shadow-step away from double-tap and to his movement key (shift by default).<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

This seems a good choice, I keep shadow-stepping all over the place.

Kouji still remembers when /stuck was introduced; impressive! :)
It must have been 1.02...

2.0 came 1 year after 1? The 1.04 era seemed so long for me...I would have estimated 2 years at least. Good times



Edit:
Tweets about the gdc...but there were plans for the E3. Is the e3 already over? Was UWE there? It hasn't been mentioned for a long time...
