I just found this in the Beta NG...

Yeah, slide detection is far from perfect...I would have left it out
completely if it were up to me, but the powers that be insisted that 3.3
have slide detection regardless of whether it worked well or not...

Does anyone have a requirement for slide detection other than ending up in
gawd knows where if yuo happen to hit a wall?

You don't end up "in gawd knows where" when you collide with an object. If
you continue to press "forward", then you'll move either left or right
depending on which direction you're facing more.

and what happens if u run out of wall to slide against?

If there's nothing in your way, you'll continue moving forward.

Not to mention the slide detection is messed up when you hold control and go
up a steep incline. It sends you in wacky directions.

Slide detection at its best is super usefull and makes moving around much
easier and natural, at its worse.. it's just kinda fun.

I know it was obvious.. but do you slide around a wall in RL if yuo run
straight into it? Nope, you fall to the ground with a headache.

If you were walking slow and it wasnt rough your shoulder might slide along
it when you turn a little. Thats more realistic then your body sticking to
the wall unless you turn all the way around or back up. This isnt real life
anyway.

You don't fly by pressing the + key in real life either, do you?
