I was just wondering. I remember playing Doom and Quake back in the day and remembered they used the keyboard controls(strange how it worked so well,no?). Those were the only 2 pc games i used to play with my friend at his house.I was mostly a Snes gamer and stopped playing games for a few years between 98-01.
I never played another pc game till 2001/02 .That was CS 1.6.It was a little intimidating the first couple of days we played at a LAN cafe but eventually got the ropes of it. Now ofcourse ive played many shooters on pc and console .I was wondering which game first implemented the mouse-aim system, or which one made it mainsteam. Im assuming it was a game between 95(quake?) and 98-Hl1.Since i havent played too many fps game pre HL besides doom and quake ...i thought id ask the PC veterans on this board.
Also- how did multiplayer work in doom if you coudnt aim with a mouse? I assume there was a **** load of strafing involved? Amirite?
