It's funny because John Carmack feels the same and it's his fault. Strafe jumping was actually a bug that proved too difficult to fix so John just left it alone.
>Strafe jumping is an exploitable bug. Just because people have practiced hard to allow themselves to take advantage of it does not justify its existence. When I tried fixing the code so that it just didn’t work, I thought it changed the normal running movement in an unfortunate way.
>In the absence of powerups or level features (wind tunnels, jump pads, etc), the game characters are supposed to be badasses with big guns. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sigourney Weaver don’t get down a hallway by hopping like a bunny rabbit.
>This is personal preference, but when I play online, I enjoy it more when people are running around dodging, rather than hopping.
>My personal preference just counts a lot. :-)
It's true strafe jumping is stupid and looks fucking gay but gamers being as autistic as they are have built their entire "skill" around mashing the space bar and won't be giving it up any time soon.
Basically I don't think you are going to find a libre FPS without it within your lifetime. Sorry.
