I don't want easy to learn, shallow movement mechanics in CS:GO. The movement changes listed below attempt to replicate the 1.6 system of movement, the only thing that I can't replicate is crouch-hopping. My proposed changes to CS:GO's movement system are as follows:

1. Increase sv_airaccelerate to "100"

Increased sv_airacclerate (from the default, which seems to be somewhere between 5-10) allows for far greater control of in air movement allowing for a much higher skill ceiling. There are no downsides to increasing this value.

Example:

2. Remove the stamina system; allows for bunny-hopping

The current stamina system is just unnecessarily restrictive in an attempt to add realism. Removal of the stamina system allows for bunny-hopping again.

Note: Bunny hopping should not allow you to move faster than someone running in a straight line. It should allow you to be extremely evasive however.

3. Remove the ability to spam the crouch key, making the head move erratically up and down

This leads to awful encounters on the pistol round specifically, where a player purchases armor & spams the crouch key. The crouch spamming player's head is extremely hard to hit & they are perfectly accurate while doing it as well as being able to move at walking speed.

4. Remove the knee-bend effect when landing & associated jumping penalty

The knee-bend effect was added late in the CS:S update cycle to provide a visual cue for jumping penalty. The visual cue also adds an aspect of realism to the game. I propose that both of these features are removed, both jumping penalty & the associated knee-bend effect. The knee-bend effect alone makes consecutive jumps feel quite awful.

Jumping penalty was first introduced as a response to players complaining of being shot & killed while their attacker was still in mid-air from their perspective. The jumping penalty imposes inaccuracy on the player whenever they land after jumping or falling off of an object. This inaccuracy does add an element of randomness to the game as shots fired while under the effects of jumping penalty are often quite accurate. Jumping penalty shots thus reward the player with randomness, something that should be minimized as much as possible in any competitive title.

These changes were made as a direct response to interpolation problems and peeker's advantage. Peeker's advantage and interpolation issues should be addressed directly & the jumping penalty & associated knee-bend removed.
