Players are running too fast, the movement pace is unrealistic, this might be ok for kids games but not Battlefield.Compare the player speed of BF1 & BFV and you will see how unrealistic BF2042 is.Look at other military FPS like ARMA, Squad or World War 3, you don't run around like a chicken.Players are just running from flag to flag because they can get to the tickets just as fast as vehicles, it's ridiculous.It's not Quake, it's not Unreal Tournament or Overwatch, it's Battlefield.It should be like Rainbow Six Siege,Insurgency, Day of Defeat, short running and then battles, at the moment it's more like run to the front die, run to the front die.Anyway, you probably can't change the player speed now because so many kids like that fast paced action but perhaps give it a thought for the next Battlefield game.

The only change I would make is not having infinite sprinting. That should have some type of quick cooldown.

@BabeyFace You do understand that the increased movement speed is to compensate for the bad map design decisions.All the maps need to be reworked to even consider to address reducing the movement speedsm or to introduce fatique mechanics.

@Zhukov211 Do you know what made BF4 so successful?They had maps that provided lots of concealment and cover, and not huge amount of open "shooting" range flat lands.I know of only one way successfully slow down the game, and that is to enable friendly fire, and to disable 3D spotting. But the design state of battlefield even makes that impossible.This is the Battlefield title made of left over Battle Royal components, and this is nothing that can be fixed easily, if at all.

@BabeyFacemovement speed is only a problem for bush wookies who won't leave spawn. i'm old and have * reflexes now and even i can handle normal engagement ranges with current speeds. if everyone gets slowed down they will just be sniper bait

@Adamonic Yes or some some kind of consequence for traversal sprint in cqc, slower ready to fire time or slower ads. Making normal running a useful choice

You need to set the player movement speed slower like BF1 & BFV

@BabeyFace first of all, BF2042 is not a simulation it is still a team based tactical action shooter in a fictional setting

Movement speed compared to the other “modern setting” BF games is nearly the same:

Battlefield 2042: 6.5m/s | 7.25m/s

Battlefield 3/4: 6.5m/s | 7.15m/s
Battlefield Hardline: 6.75m/s

So, I think most of the so called “veterans” are used to this speed. You also need to consider the Field of View settings, depending how high and low these are you have a different perception of speed in game.

BF1/BF V which are also team based tactical action shooter in a fictional setting “inspired” by WW1 and WW2 which are only a little bit slower
BF1 / BG V Sprint speed = 6.035 m/s

Also, i don't think that battlefield in anyway wants to be realistic, it wants to deliver your own battlefield moment.

If you want more realism and more tactic you should maybe try Squad or Arma III.

it is always interesting to see that since the release there have been so many players here in the forum who wants that BF2042 should be like another game. Personally, I like it the way it is, only the balancing has to tackle DICE properly.

Also, Calling players kids don't make you mature mate, it is more the opposite 😉

@CountSero Just asking, the BF Hardline speed, is that the one with the primary weapon, or when you have the pistol equipped.
If I remember correctly, running was faster with a pistol in your hand.

@kregora They got so many traversal choices in-game now and with the upcoming map reworks with tons of cqc. I think it's only a good idea to make both running modes useful in different scenario's. I think nerf the smg's too or otherwise they're gonna be a little TOO meta now

i don't think they should make any changes to movement until (at least) after the map reworks are done and final
IMO they shouldn't slow players down. the only two sets of people that would like that are vehicle mains and snipers. anything to make infantry easier to farm

@Psubond “if you slow things down in 2042 we will be sniper bait”.

The legendary success of BF1 and BF4 say otherwise.

@Zhukov211bf1 was not a sniper bait?
I remember being shot by constellations of sniper glints
