Teleportation Binded to Double Tap

I think teleporting should be binded like this:

W, W= Tele Forward
S, S = Tele Backward
A, A = Tele Left
D, D = Tele Right
Jump, Jump = Tele Up
Crouch, Crouch = Tele Down

I just think it would be easier this way. Anyone agree?

DMZ style (i think), no thanks.

u teleport in the direction of your momentum, with just those keys to tell you where to go that would limit the directions, and take longer.

I think it'd be easier the way it is, just hold the directional button and press teleport. :scared:

Personally I'd like it if both methods were optional. It's just more intuitive to hit the key twice, even though we're already used to hitting the teleport key at this point.

i have to agree with Magus, it would be easier to just hold the direction and tap the button once, tapping the button twice for teleport could be teh different from you flying to laying dead :p

it would disturb the fast gameplay of ESF ... you're flying - stop - fly - stop - teleport - fly
you could script it easily ... then you've got 6 teleportkeys
it would depend on the point you're looking at
it needs too long to press a direction key twice ... if an attack comes ... w,w ... no thanks ... if you wanna to the other end of the map .... w,w,w,w,w,w,w,w,w,w ... no thanks

I prefer the current system

If anything, the double tapping should allow you to dodge. I'm pretty sure it's been suggested, however t'would be fresh.

I agree with Sonic Boyster. Any manner where both methods are used would be nice.

how often do you use the movement keys anyway?
most of the game is
*target*
*swoop*
*hit*

mostly with the mouse

well teleport is one main target in melee fighting well to me, and yes you do use the movement keys when teleporting and running/walking, but everyone plays different i surpose :)

I suppose both would be much better. Double tap for dodging, the other for... well, I dunno, whatever.

I also hate having to come out of swoop to teleport, but that's for another day...

If double tapping is easier or not is a opinion not a fact but personally i would say :no: no.

because you would be alot slower.

Like Nretep sayd imagine your self teleporting 6 times, you would have 2 press that direction 12 :p you would be twice as slow.

I like it the way it is, you can bind teleport to any button you'd like. I'd prefer double tapping would leave an after image, and just teleport would make you vanish.
