0004453: Add dmflag for disabling SR50 strafing
There should be an option to disable SR50 strafing for servers where it doesn't fit. For example in zombie horde mode running away and chasing is a major gameplay element and SR50 would give unfair advantage in this kind of mode.
No tags attached.

After discussing this, it wouldn't be a good idea to disable SR-50, even if we did so with a flag. There's also the question of whether straferunning as a whole (i.e. SR-40) would need to be disabled by said flag, which makes us even less inclined to want this.

SR-50 is as old as Doom, and as much as how much of an "unfair advantage" players using SR-50 might have over those who don't use it, it's never been considered a cheat (apart from SR-50 automation). Anyone can learn how to use it, if it really matters to them. Disabling straferunning would be sacrilegious to Doom itself, to say the least.
