    It’s the only game I remember playing that has you dial in your movement speed with the scroll wheel to manage sound. It was really weird at first, but I got used to it after the first level. Now that I think about it, I don’t remember if this started in chaos theory or the first game.

      I believe it is in the first game on PC, and yeah I thought this was/is a very good way to handle variable movement speed with a M+KB set up.

      On a controller with a thumb stick, you can vary the degree to which you push it in a direction, unlike the 1 or 0 state of a key being pressed.

      I am still surprised more games did not at least allow for this kind of control on PC, IIRC it was only even a thing with some earlier tactical shooters.

        Yea but the PC version is botched because holding W and A or W and D together (to go in a diagonal) will not normalize the movement vector so you’ll be faster when going in a diagonal and you’ll step over the sound threshold. Still can’t believe QA didn’t catch this
