Sometimes, in spectator, I'll be following along, watching how the
really good players move around a map, and they will be making snap 90
degree turns. Not like a mouse movement, but like they threw a
switch. The movement is instantaneous.

How do you do that?

Make a demo and post it please. Otherwise, it's hard to know exactly what you saw.

He said turn not side step!
Maybe they are not good players you are watching?
Are they just making these turns or are they snapping then hitting a great
rail shot?
Put a demo up of what ya have seen.

Well, duh, I've never recorded a "demo", and never thought about that.
Thanks.

I'll go read up on the console commands and print them out so they'll
be handy, and when I get what I'm after, I'll post it at the
alt.q3.binaries and put a message here so ya'll can dissect what I am
seeing and explain it to me.

Thanks again.
