What about sprinting+shooting?

(aowblacky) #1

Hey,

i was just wondering about the fact that its impossible to sprint while shooting / shoot while sprinting? “oldschool fps” ? :slight_smile:

i would love to have this feature back in modern games! what do you think?

There was a lot of discussion on this in early VIP alpha. The only way I see sprint shooting making any real sense is the inclusion of a sprint bar, otherwise why not just increase the overall strafe speed instead of holding shift? Try searching the forum and reviving the thread if you think it’s worth bringing back.

sprint bar sounds good

no stamina please ! just get a more punchy strafe can be cool

No it sounds awful.

Agree with this.

If you can shoot and sprint at the same time, and sprint indefinitely, why not just increase running speed to sprinting speed and do away with the sprint button? If you’re going to keep the sprint button you either need to add stamina or remove shooting, otherwise it’s a redundant button.

Or you can sprint and shoot but lose aim while if you dont sprint and just “walk” you keep a steadier aim, as it was implemented in QW via the spread iirc, I dont see how sacrificing your tracking ability in the benefice of a better dodging ability is redundant, its just two way of playing, look at duels in ETQW between bunny hoppers (aA1, spaniards) and some more “aiming” guys (BJORN for instance), I actually loved to watch them playing because the playstyle was totally different (the result was the same as they were beasts, but with two differents approach of the game).

I dont see how it remove any depth of the game.

Never really played ET:QW so can’t comment, but in general I hate the idea of using spread as a balance. Spread = luck and should really be avoided if at all possible, IMO.

iirc there was no stamina in ET:QW because of the size of the maps. DB has smaller maps, so maybe adding stamina would be viable ?

It would be great!! We have a fast fps now, but the fights are feeling slow cause i cant move (fast) while shooting…
Take a look at ET, where aiming is not all. Movement is as important as aiming. And the fights feel fast cause its up to you if you use it while running around or save it and use it infight.
