Please nerf sliding
You can leave it in the game as its a good ability, but it should be used as a defensive ability and not a offensive capability. A simple fix would be a cool down period for slide or limit its speed ...

Sliding gets nerfed because some players refuse to learn basic movement mechanics. Instead of adapting, improving, or figuring out how to counter it, they complain until the skill gap gets trimmed down to their comfort level. Every time someone loses a gunfight to movement, it’s suddenly “broken” instead of a positioning or tracking issue. Now sliding gets gutted, the pace slows, and the ceiling drops again. Movement is what separates aggressive, high-skill players from passive ones. When you start flattening that out, you don’t create balance; you create a safer, slower, camp-heavy meta. Congrats. We’re speedrunning the transition from skill expression to crouch-walk simulator.
Which is exactly what BF players want... a slower than COD paced game, but not as slow as Arma. BF has always been about a slower paced game play with larger maps and vehicles and building destruction. It's great that they want to introduce new mechanics to the game, but when the majority of the community comes against it, it should be dealt with accordingly. I don't see anyone saying to remove it. I actually like the slide feature, but do think it is absurd when combined with jumping and the ability to shoot while sliding/jumping. It makes the slower paced game too far removed from what the fan base wants. As stated above, we'd go play COD if that is what we wanted.
Actually, nearly every Battlefield game has been a fast-paced shooter at its core—quick TTK, chaotic infantry rushes, and movement tech have defined the series for years.
BF3/BF4: Non-stop frenzy with bunny hopping, air strafing, and blistering gunfights.
BF1: Sprinting and sliding through trenches at breakneck speed, despite the WW1 setting.
BFV/2042: Slides encouraged aggressive dives and momentum-based combat.
Larger maps/vehicles/destruction slow the overall pace vs COD's corridor spam, but BF infantry has always been lightning-quick. The slide fits perfectly (love it!)
SketchyBogan__ Battlfield is more about cooperation and strategy (for a team-based game) as apposed to moving really fast and slipping and sliding like a fish on land in CoD (independent-based game) (no pun intended).
Both games are respectable in their own right. There needs to be an understanding of the differences. I dont hate either mechincs, its just the placement of them (i.e., game).
