You, James Smith (served in SWAT for a decade with no failed ops), on vacation and driving your car to some nice place, to take a break from your usual work routines. Driving on a deserted road somewhere in Utah, the car breaks down. With miles of nothing behind, J. decides to go forward and stumbles upon an abandoned rock/sand processing factory with just one yawning guard sitting there. Pointed by the guard, J. walks behind the factory to find the phone. When he comes back, he only sees two army trucks and the dead guard… J.'s curiosity leads him inside the factory only to find that this place is absolutely not what it seems to be…

I'm sure it'll make it more fun, a more dynamic combat experience.

When I play HL I always think how better it would be if the grunts did this instead of running somewhere, turning to face the player and then shooting. For some reason Valve gimped the grunts' agility, they once had the ability to strafe too. Seeing additions like this in mods is always nice.

That was the reason I stopped playing Svencoop back then. This ain't Rambo. No soldier could or would ever use a rifle like that and here speaks a former soldier. I dislike it massively. That style fits perfectly for the combine but surely not for HECU. It was an immersion killer for me.

I'm sorry but that's my own exclusive opinion on the subject.

It's fine! I very appreciate the honest opinion. Personally I like it this way, so I will leave it - I think it makes battles more fun. Otherwise soldiers felt dumb for me. It's a game after all.
P.S. had no idea they can run in SC - never really played it much

Very funny to watch them running & shooting at the same time!
But for realistic situations, only make them shooting when "walking" (not running) could be more appropriated, but shooting while running is feasible in real so, but I hope you thought to also **** up so badly their accuracy!
