what's the right movement sequence from moving shooting?
right now I just take my left hand off the keyboard and aim and shoot, is that right?

Why Does Tagging Still Give Enemies Free Running Accuracy?
We already have the instant stop/start overwatch movement that makes it impossible to have meaningful running fights, do we really need to compound to punish people who shoot first even more?
