New Movement speeds- Soo nice! Well done!

[Xmaster]

<3 new walking speeds. <3 the devs.
Great job

Transport cannot be a consideration when designing player movement speeds, that's a map consideration. And there are LOTS of ways to get transport in v0.6, particularly on large maps:
- vehicle drops
- bunkers produce a vehicle every 10 minutes
- firebases produce a vehicle every 10 minutes (might be bugged atm)

.. not to mention the vehicles placed by the map designer.

I am not aware of any way to get a "3rd gear" .. technically a 5th gear because movement speed definitions are:
- crawl
- crouch
- walk
- run

It's not possible to add a 5th gear. So the current movement speeds are a compromise between tactical movement speeds and a good cross country trot speed.

Soldiers are trained to NOT sprint. "Trot" is how I am aware they are trained. Having said that, I am sure that when it all goes to hell, yer gonna sprint across a street or the like.. but what we have now is a compromise that, within the engine limitations, gives us a much more tactically realistic movement speed than the previous speeds.

If we could I'd love a 3 to 5 second burst of sprint speed over and above the trot speed, but as noted I dunno how to do this with BF2 (and am 99% sure it's not possible).

With every release of PR we are looking for ways to slow the pace from vBF2 frenzy and I think this recent player movement speed is one of the best changes we have made. Not everybody will like it, but c'est la vie.

cool if there was a toggle crouch and a sprint crouch

is there a new update? where? huh? aghhhh

[billdan]

awesome, cant wait to play .6
on the movement issue-is there anyway to make it so that you cannot fire your weapon when crawling?

For those of you with longer download times - the torrent link is ultra fast. I had it downloaded in around 30 minutes.

I had to point out the irony of this post.

[Dark_Wolf]

are you guys talking about the new beta or the actual 0.6 release because there's nothing about the new release in the news section? just checking

I also mainly use sprint for long distances on map, mostly because there are hardly any normal jeeps avail and only APCs or there's hardly anyone spawning where i am so i just go on foot (less dangerous)

though everyone will get the benefit from slower speeds at some point and it should make the game more tactical. I haven't tried them out myself yet so dunno how it handles.

just go out and leave the computer running.

I went with some friends to romford today and it kept me busy for a good few hours and when i came back the DL was finished. now i am no longer a sad panda and can play on the Opreal server with some friends!!!
