@RaginSamJumping, sliding etc. is a way of “putting further pressure” on the already poor hit registration in the game and get an unfair advantage that way. Not every time, but many times. That’s my suspicion / impression anyway.
What’s more, IMO you’re abusing the fact that the control settings in Battlefield can be a bit complex at first glance. Basically, as you know, it’s set up so one has an easier time targetting enemies that are “on the same height” as you. So people that are above you or below you are harder to target default. This fact, combined with jumping down from above towards an enemy, means you are not only likely to get an advantage because the netcode “can’t keep up”, but you’re also likely to get an advantage if your opponent has a harder time moving his crosshair up/down than left/right.
You can say “But that’s a skill issue then” - well, you can call it what you want. I call it super cheesy way of taking advantage of how the movement settings are by default + taking advantage of how some, perhaps even many, people do not adjust the settings for this because it can seem like a pretty daunting task.
@VOLBANKER_PCWhat do you mean exactly by abusing "the control settings"?
Sliding makes the game infinitely more interesting. It's important to have things that make general movement more fun to traverse the map. Instead of just turning a corner shorter, and "cutting the pie", you can slide out wide and try to catch someone off guard. It's a high risk, high reward thing. It adds depth to how you approach an encounter.
Like you said too, "puts further pressure on the server". I agree with that to an extent. So maybe that should addressed instead? We should have 60hz servers with better hit reg. Reduce the amount of lag comp for people playing with over 100ms of ping. There's also game design decisions, like the overuse of geometry (too complex ground features), and the vaulting that warps players to the object instead of just climbing. It all adds up.
Sliding is fun. Removing sliding, jumping, and any sort of movement tech is the most Boring solution I can think of.
