[Speculation] Sprinting is in?

There is no way you can mocap a guy with their knee that high up and their torso hunched forward like that if the mocap actor is not running/sprinting or just about to get into a run.

Discuss?

Thanks, I missed that as I don't do Reddit much!

If they added sprint, this means we will really need it, which means the specimens are way faster now - AWESOME

Yay! Let's have a mindless run'n'gun game like CoD and give a huge freaking F on positioning and tactics.

 

[Curunir]

I have little concerns about sprinting. I believe it can be implemented and balanced well.

 

[Vi-Pe]

I trust TW. I think they will make it work. This might be the answer to stop ppl kiting (when you just run away from the zeds). If you have limited stamina you can't run away forever.

Well, ****. This is interesting. I just don't know how it'll fit in with KF. What will happen to the knife as your speed boost?

 

[Curunir]

I imagine it's somewhat similar - you can't shoot as you sprint, so...

I've been a bit worried about this, I don't know how they'd fit sprinting there. Gotta trust TWI I guess.

Sprint is already included in KF1. It activates by pressing "1" key

What if carrying the knife also makes you go faster in KF2?

This would bring kiting to a new level of ridiculousness.

If that happened it should be like the glitch with stacking medic speed boost with zerk's melee speed boost

I can imagine sprinting leaving you a panting slob that can't aim down sights for crap, though!

I want this! maybe

Sprinting will only be good depending on its implementation.

If Zeds are much faster than they were in KF1 (an article did say something about sprinting clots on HOE) and there are some negatives to sprinting for too long, I say we're good.

We all agree that sprinting would be terrible in KF1, but here in KF2 things are likely very different.

Yep, clearly they added that in to the game which is in every other way identical to KF1, making it broken.

Seriously, can we just assume for one second that TWI knows at least in part what they're doing and aren't just adding in features without thinking at all?

 

[Rattler]

Don't worry. They will just add huge sway after you sprint - job's done on that.

Running would work like CoD, where the heaver or lighter the weapon, the faster or slower you run. Screaming "Run!" on KF anyways confuses new people into wondering were is the run button anyways.

Running should have stamina, which is what strong melee attacks also use.
