Mackay strafe movement speed nerf?
Any chance that Mackay strafing can get a nerf? At times it's really annoying tracking him compared the other specialist. Guy can dodge bullets faster than neo from the matrix. Everything he does is...

Yeah it does need a nerf because it's ridiculously OP against burst/semi-auto weapons

Look.. I get it, you play Mackay.
Movement is not slow in this game, maybe you're playing the wrong game if you think that?
MacNeophyte moves twice as fast as everybody else..
Therein lies the issue.
MacScrub's grapple is insane as it is, AND, he has twice the ADS speed of any other specialist..
BROKEN!
If you can't see an issue there, you're brain damaged(Friendly BD :-)).
Anyway, I'm used to him and it's too late to change it now, people would develop unknown syndromes.
He's just a poorly conceived idea.
Mackay removed, the game's more like battlefield.
2042 is extremely unpredictable, and MacKay is a leading factor in that.
Gimme Sundance any day..
Un-Nerfed.

I’m playing the wrong game? I like the pacing and movement and you would know that if you actually read any of my post.
He ONLY gets a speed buff while aiming down sights. This perk was in BFV as well. It had the same speed increase of 60% while ADS. If they gave that option to other Specialist I’d pick them far more often. I ran that on every class in BFV.
No need to be rude with the brain damage comment. Putting friendly afterwards doesn’t make it friendly lol.
I have a good amount of issues with the game, mostly small ones at this point, but I’ve never felt fighting a Mackay was anything special. Like I said, his base speed is EXACTLY the same as everyone else. The only specialist I feel something is off with is Sundance and maybe Rao. I have the worst hit reg more often against those two.
The player that kills you with MacKay would kill you with any specialist.
Higher strafe speed while ADS is the best passive ability of any specialist.
I think it is overpowered giving it to one specialist, but I wouldn't mind all specialists being buffed to have the same ADS-speed as MacKay.
In BFV you could choose this in the weapon customization system, and it was always worth selecting, even if it meant missing out on some other 'nice things' for that weapon (like lower vertical recoil etc).
IMHO ADS-speed should be tied to weapon selection (like in Apex), this would differentiate the guns in a "meaningful way" and not give one specialist an unfair advantage. Handguns being the fastest, then SMGs/shotguns, then ARs(/DMRs), then LMGs and finally bolt-actions being the slowest. Even magnification of optics could be considered for determining ADS-speed.
