/u/lytlb1t When people were discussing the slide spam issue in BFV, you mentioned that you are aware of this. It seems like you can still slide spam and gain quite a bit of momentum. Could you shed some light on this? Battlefield 1 did it perfectly in my personal opinion. You could slide, but you would lose momentum quite fast, so people only used it to slide into cover. The current implementation of the slide feels over the top.

Hey u/lytlb1t ! I apologize for the ping , but I'm really curious about your past claim:

Drunkkz3 confirmed crouch sprinting (and other features) was not currently planned for BF2042.

Was there a misunderstanding from us or did things simply evolved over time? Or is this an open beta thing and movement will get BFV's features back?

... and happy birthday by the way!

Programming your own birthday present. That's something :D do you guys have a dice tag or something like that, that noone else has so we know, if it's one of you?

Thank you for your response. I'm rooting for you and excited to see the game when it is ready. Take your time. Also this has been my experience in web dev. I imagine it is a very different experience than game dev in a lot of ways. But we often knock out many bugs in a day. Typically the issues that take the longest are those that have dependencies across teams. And of course we sometimes introduce bugs that are harder to track down or are larger issues, but in general we can fix a lot of bugs in a week.

What a bullshit. In witch world can bugs be fixed rapidly? Bugs cost a lot of time. Bugs can lead to new bugs. Some bugs cost DAYS of development without testing.

Its pure marketing bullshit.

If they a add a time between the uses and a option like, when you slide and NEED to do this again, the slide goes more poor and you can't run for like a moment.

As long as there isn’t slide spam and jump spam it’ll be awesome

I honestly think the getting stuck thing is almost more of a map design flaw than a movement system issue

Most important question, will there be a secret mountain goat in bf2042?

Going back to BF4 has made me realize how good the movement system in BFV is. It's not perfect but hope they don't go back to 2013 movement style.

u/lytlb1t when you are allowed to talk about it we'd love to hear how movement is changing in 2042 maybe in July?

Will jumps now be commit in that you can't change your movement? What will be the downsides to sliding? How dynamic is sliding going to be?

That's what I was trying to say. Currently, there's no reason not to slide, since it gives you a way to close in the gap between yourself and cover/the enemy, all the while making you harder to hit. There's no actual downside to it.

So, instead of being universally useful, the slide would be set up in a way that the player would have to think where and when to apply it for maximum effect.

I like sliding as a mechanic to move into cover so in a gunfight you take your opponent head on or slide/run for cover

In the systems current implementation you can basically do both at the same time with the added benefits of reducing your shape and moving your head out of the way of those with good headshot discipline

My suggestion to improve the system is to have it as more inaccurate hipfire only and a slight delay on ADS after sliding or jumping to discourage people from using them as an offensive move and keep them as an evasive tactic for taking cover

If I were to redesign it in any way, I'd like to make it more of a commitment thing, be it a longer starting/ending period, or any way to make its use require more thought regarding where and when to use it. The skillgap would come from knowing when to apply the movement options the game has, instead of who can pull off the most maneuvers in the shortest time.

As it stands, it's a bit jarring, hard to follow, and gives short ranged weapons even more of an edge in situations they already dominate.

I'm all for giving players freedom of movement - things like sliding and crouch running open up a lot of interesting possibilities - but these "special maneuvers" need to have downsides as well, so the skill comes from knowing when and how to use the possibilities the game allows for maximum effect.
