Great game so far, but why the seven burning hells can you not walk?
It just looks extremely silly... running from one locker to the one right beside it... tapping the A or D key to move slightly making Max Payne jerk around very unrealistically.
The L-SHIFT key should be set to WALK. The mouse/keyboard combination is better than any other control scheme UNLESS you cannot walk. This makes the keyboard 100% strictly digital and there is no analog movement available at all.
You either run at full speed or you do not move.
There are several areas that it would be nice to simply creep along and enjoy the ambiance.
yeah...i think they wanted to keep the tempo a "run & gun" type of game. you should be running around killing guys left and right. not picking them off one by one.
You are being hunted down by New York police department, Italian and Russian mafia, your own bad dreams, and a rich organized goverment-terrorists-like coporation group and you want to WALK?

I haven't even gotten my so called pre-order yet and I have the same question. No walking is pure bull****. It just increases the lack of realism. Running and shooting and hitting a target is damn hard to do if not impossible.

Well running and shooting in this game, is what makes it so good...
But even having the whole frickin' world after you butt, you should still be able to crawl around stuff and jump out and snap somebody in the head...
Just because you can't crawl or walk, gives the opportunity for the enemies to see you.
I'd like to see some more stealth in this game. Mabey two years down the line a mod will come out that will let you do this, but I hardly doubt it, because you might have to make some new animations, but the enemies already walk, so they could probably just throw that into one of Payne's animations.
Sorry, I read the post earlier, but the connection was crap and I couldn't do anything.
Not only does not being able to walk **** me off, but being able to CRAWL.
The game is just "RUN AND GUN".
It would seem much more interactive if you were able to walk, crawl, go prone, etc...
Being able to walk on this game would rock.
I have no problem with not being able to walk, but it would be a nice update (mod) in the future. Another thingy that I did miss, the crawling you speak off. There were serveral times where I wish I could crawl.. Not having it implemented made the (sit-your-butt-down) "C" key pretty useless.
