Please bring back tap strafing on controller

I wonder if.. because of the other buffs and stuff that brought up the rest of the game to be fun again. And if you have people in the community show how to setup stuff/just make the global configuration have the settings and add it into the games tutorial if tap strafing could still exist for controller?. And I bet the player count would go up a lot and continue to grow. If yall bring it back with transparency about it. And not one sided nonsense. The player count will skyrocket. Don't treat it like a bug. Treat it like a feature and actually implement it fully. Warframe did this well with bullet jumping. This game keeps cutting itself off right before it grows. Its been better the past few seasons and its finally at a place I felt comfortable to have this conversation. Another really big example and maybe just do this one first as a test! Add back punch boosting rebalanced? Limit how many boosts you can do like you all did the zip line change ages ago where you can only grab it 3 times. I just miss titanfall but like apex for the big maps.. Right before tap strafing got removed from controller I was learning how to wall run on revenant using it. Can still do it. But it's like I got my wings cut. Can't do anything like I used too unless my aim is 100% there.. and half the time when I bring it up I get told "switch to keyboard" I just don't like it for these kind of games. Never have. But I like the extra gameplay features keyboard gets to compensate bc it makes the game funner. Controller just got all that taken awhile ago.. I still play just not much.

  • I admire your enthusiasm but there is absolutely no version of reality where a return of controller tap strafing = skyrocketing player count. That is truly rearranging the deck chairs on a sinking ship.

    Like I said gotta actually implement it rather than hide it for pros to use only if they truly want new players. Needs transparency. And fairness. This game truly reminds me of the black ops 2 days idk if that makes since. The controller vs M and K stuff. Been going on for 13+ years. That or implement a version in-game that controller players can bind just like you all have to on keyboard.. yeah there's the ash ability but they even nerfed that. Its a cycle. Can't have fun on this it gets removed EVERYTIME. 

    Stop killing games.

    Im glad they brought back arenas aswell.. I was wanting that for ages. glad people have a practice area again.

    The game’s not sinking. It’s just veering off course because the people steering forgot why players got on board. Im not rearranging chairs. Im pointing at the compass. And thats to where the fun is.
