Get up n' RUN !!!

[DrJimSok]

I'm wondering if it would make sense to speed up the transition to standing and running from prone and crouching. Many times, I see a grenade coming, but even though I try to run right away, end up getting killed anyway, since the transition to running takes so long. Does speeding up this transition make sense?? I think one would be pretty motivated to run ASAP when you have a grenade landing near you !!!

I agree, but it'd be hard to balance with keeping the whole realistic momentum/movement/not hopping around thing.

I don't know, you have to remember you probably got a bit of a load on your back.

Best bet is to yell 'Grenade' to help warn and save your buddies and then kiss your own a** goodbye.

If you bind your sprint key to toggel (has to be done in the ini) then tapping the prone key while you are prone will stand you up directly into a sprint.

I think it's fast enough... in fact, I feel the whole movement system could use a drop in speed. Not much, but rather add more feeling of weight (more like the mod). Getting up is quite ok as it is, but moving around feels too easy and too fast - you can zig zag while running at full speed...

If they make getting up even easier, it would be like every other shooter. This is suppose to be a bit like real life (though the MOD was closer to that)... in real life I guess many soldiers have seen their death coming, and not beeing able to do anything about it. You can think a lot in a short time... the mind works fast... the body doesn't always keep up.

Ain't that the truth! I've yet to escape a nade while prone. I can get up and running but it's never far enough.

I've also caught myself a couple times trying to pick up a nade thrown at me... old DoD habit...

Have you ever carried a rifle, ammo, MG ammo, and a large pack in combat for several hours, after a long march on little sleep? Then whilst prone, have a grenade thrown at you and try to escape. It is easier said than done. The system is fine as is.

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

Exactly,

Getting up and running in your bedroom near the computer when you are fully rested and wearing only underwear is easy to do.

When you are a tired, fully geared soldier lying on the mud, getting up won't be so fast.

Cripes, I normally can't even find the keys to shout "Grenade!" in time before the thing explodes. Maybe it's time for another key bind...

Generally the best thing to do is not try to run far but behind cover. I usually ty to fin the nearest corner or dive behind the other side of sandbags in the fews seconds I have. Doesn't always work but it can be done if you generally stick to dense areas.

But remember that mostly in combat you wouldn

Well the problem is the faster you make player movement, the more it becomes like CS or other FPS games.

I like to lay down and play with the dirt

Don`t rape this game as bf2 has been done.

Think realistic and forget the games as bf2. Ro is superb keep it
this way and when you`re not satisfied pls play another game and
keep this one as it is.

I don't mind getting fragged while prone, but it does raise a separate question: if you dive on a nade, does it only hurt you, or will the blast radius still hit your buddies?

No but I have been working all day. Didn't sleep the night before much (too much partying) and then had an idiot co-worker blow up something. All I know is I was able to move away from that idiot by jumping over a pile of dish racks stacked up about 4 1/2 feet high, they were 5 feet long, and I was about 5 feet away. I was able to leap over all of that in a single bound. Sudden fear can make a superman out of all of us. I've got to believe a grenade landing next to me is gonna cause a little more fright the I experienced that day.

 

[wolfhound338]

I agree to that the system is fine.....................leave be

 

[The Soup Nazi]

I used to think it was slow too. Until I put on a 200 round chest rig loaded with live ammunition and I had my rifle slung across my shoulder, in a leather jacket to simulate having a load of other gear on my back. Trust me, you can't simply jump up, better make sure you don't fall.

Same here, i find the movement speed a tad too fast.

 

[mobilechomp]

I think its perfect as is. Too slow and it becomes Americas Army, where you can't get away from a grenade even from crouch because the transitions are so slow.
