Re: Mackay strafe movement speed nerf?
@CarreraLuu It wasn't like COD at all. If anything BF2042 feels way more like COD than BFV. When sliding you got a pretty heavy accuracy penalty with a firing delay. You couldn't just slide and hip-fire like you can in Apex or something. Lots of people falsely claim that, but sliding was more of a gimmick, something interesting to do while moving. It wasn't nearly as tactical as people make it out to be.
People conflate network issue with mechanics. You see someone sliding and firing, but what's actually happening is they slide first, then fired afterwards. The server isn't showing what's going on accurately. Whenever I slide and tried to shoot, there was such a delay that I didn't bother. I used it to get into cover, and to keep my momentum while reloading, and doing other actions. I never used the slide to engage someone. In BF2042 that's completely different. You can slide out of cover to get the drop on someone and it's awesome. It adds depth to movement and gives you different options to engage a fight.
Again, Mackay only gets a movement buff while ADS. So, everyone can strafe at the same speed. It's only when he's exclusively aiming down sights that he gets a buff. You can alternate between ads and hipfiring to mimic the same thing.
Are you using a controller or MnK? These are the nuanced mechanics that make shooters fun for MnK users.
