Walk/run isn't even available in PD if you use the C-Buttons for movement. You *always* run and its impossible to quickly defeat teams of perfect and darksims without using the C-Buttons. The stick is just too slow. Diagonal movement has been an important factor in any FPS. Movement increases slightly so your speed is just a tad better and using the stick for performing the diagonal run is just stupid. You can actually hear it if you listen to Jo's footsteps but for fun play a two player match with the same char, have a starting point and have one char move in diagonal while the other runs. Guess who's faster? For the same benefit of testing, have one char on stick and one on buttons, guess who's faster again (this might be improved in the 360 version)? The buttons are just better for precision in PD - where speed always wins the game. You're running on a 2-D plane, you're not flying or trying to avoid walls. In fact in PD you need the walls and doors to instantly stop/gain momentum for world record times.
I got pretty good at bullet dodging. As far as I know I invented it but if you wanna try it run at your target (in diagonals) keeping the aim. When you hear the shot (you will hear it before you see the muzzle flash) press and hold the R button and tap whichever direction on the C-Buttons you were already holding. Your char will 'float' with momentum forward while moving at insane speed to the left or right briefly. This confuses the hell out of the person trying to hit you. It gives you a split second edge especially with darksims. I successfully avoided pistol shots and a millisecond or two of automatic fire which is huge when you consider that a darksim can kill you faster than it takes for the animation of your life gauge to deplete. It's slightly faster than an eye blink but with practice you'll perform them without even thinking.
If you want ultimate matrix funs you can assign slow-motion to the R button (gameshark) so you enter slomo whenever you aim. Now just run at someone (or fall) and press R with sidesteps to dodge bullets, let go of R and unload on them. People just stare in awe that they cant hit you. But remember that 'aiming' kills your momentum in the air, GS or not.... god I have no life.
Mr. Bean the closing of the eyes is for multiplayer battles where you've removed the radar. You can go camp and close your eyes so that the other player has no idea where you are and all they see is a black screen. Excellent for ambushes or if you're waiting for a particular item spawn and dont wanna get caught.
