Talk:Strafing
From DoomWiki.org
Is there an explanation as to why this feature was called 'strafing', and not something more obvious such as 'sidestepping'? It confused me back when Doom was released; the only strafing I had heard of was that involving aircraft shooting at ground targets. Was it a mistake on the part of the game designers? -Ashley Pomeroy 21:33, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)
