Speed Boosting

Posted By: Bob-B-Q Date: 4/24/04 9:55 a.m.

This is something I've been wondering about for a while:
In the Marathon games, holding the 'forward' key and a 'strafe' key at the same time will cause the player to move diagonally. At the same time, the player appears to move a little faster than pressing 'forward' or 'strafe' alone would provide.
So does diagonal running really boost your speed, or is it just an illusion like the HyperVision pickup's "Warp Drive" effect?
