Well, i think the main reason is that E+ dosen't require a high degree of ground moving skill like most other mods do - here you have weapon movement that replaces it.

heh combine the above two posts and u get the answer.

u get totally free weapon jumps in e+ (which imo is kinda, umm i wont say lame, but its too easy.) whats more u get uber-weapon jumps in most configs. therefore developing strafing skills is pretty pointless.

i use strafe only when people arent in the room or i can see nobodys gonna hit me if i strafe.

imo e+ movement makes it too easy for people. (i know there are people who argue it isnt and that weapon jumps take a lot of time to learn and all but pffft.). proof is easy. i started e+ about 6 months ago. picked up weapon jumping in about a month. the rest of it was just finding out for myself where the key bfg slides are in every map. there is no learning curve. u just pick-it up and thats about it. (not saying there is NO skill involved. most people dont seem to know that bfg slides can be much more effective with just a little tweaking). started promode about the same time and even after 6 months i can barely move fast. even now most of the time i have lots of good players escaping me by just running even when i have superior weapons.

as long as configs have freeb weap jumps, there will be no strafing in e+. pity tho. q3 without strafing feels so empty.

the answer is pretty easy, the best players (really just the best, maybe some nooby swes not) can strafe, the nubs not.

and btw u got a normal speed of 350/400 in e+, so not much strafejump needed.

I strafe constantly, strafe + aim

how you can strafing and aiming at same time ?

I have good left/right-hand coordination... I never stopped to think about it, but I've seen myself doing it lots on demo...

how can u strafe and aim at the same time? lol interesting question. play osp or cpma and u'll get it pretty fast cos if u cant ur dead meat. (ur dead mate even if u can but thats not the point is it )
