Re: Hold to sprint (PC)

Train yourself out of hold-to-sprint. It is inefficient to have game functions (especially one as omnipresent as sprinting) completely reserve one of your fingers. Free fingers are a precious commodity in games where split-seconds count.

    Kind of agree but I'll bet that a lot of ppl are used to hold for sprinting over the years (not counting Fortnite 13 y.o players). Also I find myself not knowing if I'm sprinting or not which ends with me almost walking while getting shot at and understanding a few seconds too late that I wasn't actually sprinting.

    So a hold/toggle selector would be more than welcome and easy to implement

    Shooters don't need many free fingers. Hold to sprint simply gives a bit more control over movement.

    @Haxwell_Edison There's no "disable sprinting" button. Once the player is sprinting the player has to literally stop moving forward to cease sprinting. That is a gameplay limitation created by overly complicated coding. Ceasing to hold "W" and pressing it again is work for the brain, and it slows down the ability of the brain to do other work to play this game. What was inefficient was the analysis and accuracy of that paragraph.

    Thank god someone is sane, if they added hold to sprint i might actually have fun and play Apex for once, its just so clunky having to stop moving to stop the sprint action. So unintuitive, and  it would take 2 minutes for any dev to add hold to spriont which has been an FPS staple in PC since the first * COD...

    I actually don’t understand how this game has been out this long and they haven’t changed this, I want to like this game so badly but the inaccessibility is crazy, I can’t even link my origin to see my stats.
