A quick tutorial explaining how Marine movement speed is calculated

<div class="IPBDescription">I found a lot of people didn't really understand this.</div>I found that alot of people really didn't understand how dynamic Marine Movement speed is, so I frapsed this video explaining the basics of getting from point A to point B.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEdImnChvBg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEdImnChvBg</a>


Here is the raw data on what is shown in the video


Some information about marine speeds.

For reference, the skulk's base movement speed = 7.00

Default Rifle movement speed 5.06
sprint 6.07
pistol hold - 5.13
Axe - 5.31

No machine gun +0.67 speed
No Pistol + 0.27

Pure Axe = 6.25
Pure Axe sprint = 7.5

Mines = Nothing added or subtracted.
Shotgun = 5.00
Grenade Launcher = 4.62
FlameThrower = 4.31

JetPacks fly at 8 speed.
Exos Move at 3.71

Back pedaling reduces speed by a bit more than 2/5ths
Ammo Makes no difference.

Thanks.

This was informative to me. It should be easily accessible to others as well.

Handy, I did not know dropping guns made you faster.

If you drop your primary and secondary weapons and sprint while holding the axe you run faster than a skulk!

Until you run out of sprint, then I would not like to be weapon-less :(

Welcome to the scouting marine

Can you calculate jumping speed as well? Would be nice to know the formula of when and how much jumping on differently distanced surfaces effects speed.
