Faster running

On the Cairo Siege map, I tested running at my team’s spawn point. The sprint speed either hasn’t changed or has changed only very slightly. But the footstep sounds themselves now feel faster. This is complete nonsense. Battlefield is supposed to be about the feeling of war. What is this nonsense where a soldier runs like in a Tom and Jerry cartoon?

Please tell me what Battlefield game was realistic, been playing since 1942. :)

I honestly don’t understand. I don’t see what it achieves, and I don’t know anyone who was asking for this. The only thing I can think of is that perhaps it makes the sound more recognizable when you hear an enemy running?

After more research and testing. You are correct. But why would they do that?

Call of Duty this, Call of Duty that, were you alive when BF3 released? it was the biggest step towards "call of duty" the series ever had.

Agreed. I just want a realistic BF game again

Yes I did. And I have two clips of me running before and after the update. It's very noticeable 

BF3/4 was better because the soldiers moved like they were weighed down by their kit, not like some parkour guy running around in his underwear. The amount of people jumping around corners is ridiculous. Try doing that IRL with an assault rifle.

Did you play other maps than Cairo Bazaar? I honestly have felt zero change on the other maps, but Cairo Bazaar feels incredibly fast. I don't think it's because you're moving faster, as Skate15 mentioned, the smaller size, the twisty alleyways, and the hundred angles at which enemies come at you gives it a certain feeling (which, by the way, I really don't like, it's way too fast action for me). 

So you are agreeing that soldier movement has been sped up? Cause you mentioned that it feels like you are running when you're not.
