@CountSeroYou forgot important factors. 1-Traversal speed is not listed. 2- there is no suppression in 2042.
And yet... 3- The success of other games in comparison to 2042. 4-Cross play/PC players.
Traversal speed is indeed too fast. Too bad it is necessary in this game.
The cross play between PC and console players would greatly benefit of suppression mechanics and speed limitations as the movement freedom on PC is much higher, you can run and strafe, on the joystick you may sacrifice speed to strafe and going from a 12 o'clock to 3 o'clock takes longer than from W to D (you can just release W). Reducing speed minimizes the difference between what you can do with a mouse and you left thumb. It doesn't solve any issue. It just minimizes the difference.
With suppression, a good team play and good positioning would be more rewarded than movement speed/mouse and keyboard. So brains would compensate console players and let them compete with rushing PC COD style players. Now, VS a smart and seasoned PC player, there is nothing you can do, as, even a slower movement would greatly help a PC sniper indeed. But still, that can be adjusted by reducing the precision of the sniper rifles at long and very long distance, and time to ads.
I ran a 2042 PORTAL server a few times after launch, with higher 1.1x bullet speed and movement at 0.9 x movement, 1.2 x drop damage. It felt just like the good old battlefields and it still could use the suppression. TTK felt adjusted. The lag issue was minimized, as the server could properly calculate position for both players. At that time you would see players floating when rushing from far, and that minimized that issue (in fact O had the impression that it immediately stopped happening).
With the lack of a decent aim assist, the result is missing kills because of higher movement speed. Bad aim assist. TTK is higher. HIT reg is ridiculously flawed., Add lag plus the fast movement to the equation, you let people get away with stuff when they should be normally dead if it was any other Battlefield. I've been there.
