Double tap W sprint needs to go

[sponska]

I like to tippy tap around corners and edges to peek out for enemies, so this mechanic has led to many frustrating deaths, where I accidentally sprinted out of cover and got shot or fell to my death.

So please disable this mechanic when using the sprint button option!

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

They're talking about your training as a receiver, the skills you picked up from the previous game. This game already has wonky controls, nothing is intuitive at first. I believe this supersedes your argument.

I don't think it does. Part of receiver training is how to handle your firearm under stress. Precise motor control that through drill has become intuition. Did I just put so much effort into handling a gun that I forgot how to precisely use my legs. No. Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. There's even a tape for training on how to move when breaching a room. There's clearly more to the training than just "learn how gun work".

As for "wonky" controls. They're necessary to fully control your firearm, the point of the game. Tap to sprint is not the point of the game, and unnecessarily removes full control from the player by throwing them forward when they just wanted to move slowly.

what if mashing shift made you run rather than w?

It's good game mechanic. I like it

I'm glad you like it. I'd like an option to disable it. Fair enough?

Count me in for ditching it. Enabling separate key sprint should disable it. It's frustrating trying to creep up behind a turret and suddenly being launched in front of it.

Nah. Don't know about you, but I use my pinky finger to push shift. I won't button mash with my pinky finger. That's how ou get tendonitis.

Fair enough. We can see how it would be annoying for some people, but you're essentially losing part of what the game was about, and lessening the meaning behind the mechanic is all we're saying.

I'll never understand why people bother arguing about this. We just want the option. I understand that tapping w to sprint adds to the intensity, but some of us don't want to play that way. If there's an option then we all win.

I agree with the OP. I find multi-tap W sprint to be pointlessly awkward. FPSes landed on a standardized control scheme for a reason - it's ergonomic and sensible. I don't think it serve's the game's purposes to force this bizarre multi-tap sprint. The game already has a punishment for sprinting around in the sleeper turret enemy. It doesn't need to further antagonize the player with an odd scheme that only this game uses.

You are playing the *wrong* game.

Nah, it's got nothing to do with spamming it to sprint. I use shift for that, I hate spamming it. My fingy start cramping.

No it's the fact that if you accidentally press W too fast while trying to carefully situate yourself or get up on a ledge, you can royally screw yourself over. You have to get creative to get around this, or just be extra aware of it. That right there adds a whole other level of intensity. I think of it as being akin to tripping over your own two feet.

But you already know that Tapping W will make you sprint forward, You really don't need to "Get creative" you just need to wait for a split second before tapping it again.

And just like how many times you've shot yourself in the leg, you also don't have the same balance until you practice better.

It's player input, one that's very well taught..

Having sprinting being togglable just subtracts more and more from what the game is trying to be.. a "Sim" game. These troubles ground those issues. and you're taught how sprinting works.


It's just fighting the homogeneous control scheme that games work their entire game around. Shoot, Jump, Sprint, Aim.

Having to be conscious of your movements is player input, and falling off a ledge, is player failure. Understandable failure, but still failure.

agreed.

Ah yes Minecraft. My favorite sim game. Honest question, is there any other game besides Minecraft and Reciever that have tap to sprint? Certainly no "sim" that I can think of.
