lol JUST CROUCH!

crouch speed in quake2 is the same as walk speed, except it won't let you accelerate when turning so you don't accidentally make the occasional step sound

Dunno if that's entirely true. I think crouching while moving is slightly slower than walking. Even if it's the same speed, you get that slight wobbling movement when crouching which might not be so desirable at all times.

Having one key bound to toggle walking on and off seems kinda like making it more complicated than it really needs to be. Most of the time you wanna have speed to get your ass in and out of places when it gets too hot. Having a key for it close to your movement keys is essential. Personally, I'd rather just hold that key down with a pinky or a thumb while walking so as soon as you let off, you're running again. Most of the time, you're gonna want to be running. If you have the luxury of walking to be sneaky, you probably have the luxury of taking the time to hold that key down. To me, the location or the setup for the walking key bind isn't as important as the crouch bind.

Concerning crouching binds. Most people seem to be set up to use the middle mouse wheel button for crouching. I do. I wish I didn't have to though. Using my middle finger to press down seems to press the mouse harder into the desktop making it ever-so-slightly harder to aim while crouching since I can't move the mouse as freely. I wish I had a mouse with a button under the thumb along the side of the mouse. That way I would be squeezing the sides of the mouse rather than be putting extra pressure on the top of it making it harder to move.

wasd/esdf

crouch on left control

walk on left shift

jump on mouse2 (some people say spacebar helps aim, but fuck em)

^^^ best set up ever


also crouching IS the same speed as walking, only in q2 though the rest of the quakes crouching is like 60ups slower or something.... unless you are like me and love quake4, then crouching is faster than anything else

to resurrect this thread, i figured out what the fukin problem was...

whoever helped me make my config went on to secretly add these settings into my video settings section

set cl_forwardspeed "8000"
set cl_sidespeed "8000"

figures why +speed wasnt working, so everything is gravy now.

glad you figured it out random.

just fyi everyone, typically crouch is not a suitable substitute for walk. More times than not you want the better angle(higher pov) that comes with walk.
