EA Staff (Retired)Hey @DeltaPhoenix42
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! I cannot promise that such feature will appear in the game, but I will pass your opinion to our developers.

Thanks for passing it on, I really hope they can fix this because it is very very annoying that it breaks ADS when I'm shooting at someone. Also the option to disable it is in bf4 and bf1 so it really shouldn't be that hard to add it to Battlefront 2. In my opinion this double tap W to sprint shouldn't even be in a shooter, using shift to sprint has been a staple of shooter games as far back as I can remember. I don't mean to be rude but I'm honestly quite baffled that this is an issue at all especially since the option is available in games that run the same engine. Also, I'm not the only one who takes issue with this:

Anything to report on your end?
As you can see there are quite a few people who are vocal about this and I'm sure there are many more who are affected that haven't expressed it online. This affects people who use toggle aim and I'm sure there are many that don't even know what is causing their soldier to stop aiming so they don't even know what to search to find a fix for it. Why have the option to toggle aim when there is a permanent "feature" that breaks that option completely? The logic is flawed on so many levels, like why not port the option to disable double tap sprint from the main Battlefield games?? This would probably take a GUI developer less than half an hour. The most time consuming aspect of the process would be the bureaucracy to get it to the attention of said developer and to get it approved!
When I noticed it in Battlefield 4, since it was on by default, I thought my mouse was faulty and double clicking instead of single clicking when I pressed the right mouse button to aim. (I disassembled my mouse to try and fix it!) I stopped playing the game until about two years later when Battlefield 1 came out and the problem wasn't present in that game (disabled by default with the option to enable it) so I investigated further. I found the option to disable double tap forward to sprint and I could finally play Battlefield 4! Ofcourse now it was riddled with hackers and, well, I prefer Battlefield 1 anyways... I really like Battlefront 2 though so I don't want to give it up like I did with Hardline and Battlefield 4...
It's 2018 and we have some niche "feature" in a AAA game that you can't disable? What other shooter has double tap forward to sprint? None that I can think of, it's more of an RPG type of movement system if you ask me, Minecraft has it... Lol.Any of these features we can't choose if we want On or Off, or even if it should be mapped to this or to another key is IMO a bad game design. We can't disable double tap to sprint, we can't change the Field of View on Spaceships, we can't change the key to trigger the double zoom (unless we change the melee key too as they are hardlocked), we can't disable AIM-Assist if using a controller on PC. We can't even play splitscreen on PC. We can't start a group with all members muted, we're forced to manually mute every new player who joins our group.
And all of this can be solved by simply putting menu itens to change these values which are there, but we can't reach. It's not creating something new, or solving a mysterious BUG, it's just giving us the option to change/use stuff that makes sense to be changed/used, be it because in another similar situation it can be changed/used (FoV for soldiers, splitscreen on console, AIM-Assist on console) or because it makes no sense we can't reach it (double tapping for sprint, melee button locked to double zoom button, disabling voice chat on ingame groups by default).
Please mods, pass the message forward that giving us the ability to change these properties will please anyone concerned with this, and won't displease anyone else as this doesn't have any reason to displease anyone, as it doesn't change game for those who don't care about these options.
