[General] Sprint & Stamina

[Mj Pain]

This whole debate is going off-topic. I was never meaning to say that we take the sprint bar away literally, i was just trying to have people look at it a different way. Now it has just turned into a who can run 5miles fastest contest. If you people read my first few posts, you would see that I do not literally mean sprint 15miles.

:d uh: Dude, you´re so confused..

in my opinion, we don't even need a sprint bar.

wait, wut?

I have sprinted 5km non stop (5km races weekly)

In full gear? How long did that take?

Let me add that the sprinting in BF2 is hardly sprinting at all. Think of it as simply running. The standard speed is definitely not a run, it is as you said yourself, "jogging". In terms of speed there are: Walking, jogging, running, sprinting. Don't think of the "sprinting" in BF2 as true sprinting, it is actually more of a run.

Are we talking about BF2 or Project Reality?

Also, in preparation for water polo, try carrying a person on your back through water for 1000m and swimming 8000 more. If that's not hard enough carry a 10lb weight above your head and do laps walking underwater with breaths only after reaching the end of your lap? Now add daily cross country practice and weekly races.

I only train about 4hrs a day skipping weekends.

Wow, u won the contest..

The military has to run 15miles

Yeas,they RUN....not SPRINT

Soldiers who train for YEARS to meet these physical expectations by running with fellow soldiers on their backs for over 5miles daily

Orly?

Please stop posting more of this bs and admit that you mixed up running and sprinting in PR.

Mj how can you say i am confused when it was my post to begin with? You are the one who is confused. You completely misinterpreted my first posts. You contradict yourself in your comment.

I almost think this thread deserves a lock... Dev threads imo should be used to announce new changes/maps/gameplay, etc... and for people to comment on their likes/dislikes of the changes and how they foresee what might happen because of them.

This thread has gone way off topic, and if you want to discuss sprint more thoroughly, make a well thought out thread suggesting it in the suggestion forum of better yet (because I can foresee the negative feedback from it as a suggestion already), make a thread in it in the General discussion forum. If you wish to debate your side to try and convince DEVs to change it to such and such, find PROOF of how your position is realistic/profitable for gameplay.

Simply throwing around unsourced "evidences" as criticism in this thread is not productive in the very least.

[mp5punk]

wow thats a relief.

[PlaynCool]

I agree, the "sprint" in PR is very slow, increase it a little, then increase the "jogging" a little and there wont be a problem.

[gazzthompson]

the jogging speed is fine.

[CareBear]

best change in .85 imo,
as now if i run out in cqb and resort to my knife (happens suprisingly often :/) i can actually reach them, instead of after all my dodging etc and survining them firing their whole clip trying to get me i dont run out of sprint 5m in front of them and cant reach them before they have reloaded xD

[jbgeezer]

the jogging speed is fine.

Yes it is, realistic and fine.

[jbgeezer]

Tahts our opinion though..

[ostupidman]

I think the speeds are fine.

[Kpt. Velthuis]

Nice ... *sprints*

[PlaynCool]

The speeds are fine but not the times, so i proposed to increase the speeds so the 30sec sprint-time feels more "realistic".

[Snares]

I also wish that the "walk" speed was just a bit faster. An average soldier seems to walk much faster than the speed in PR (maybe it's just my imagination ).

thats because the dont "walk" in PR, the jog.

Probably is just your imagination. I haven't done this experiment yet, though I believe you will find the "walking" speed of soldiers in pr to be that close to jogging speed. How can you find out? set a marker say 100m away, then time yourself walking there and running there. Compare that with rl data and you'll find pr soldiers actually "walk" much faster than irl.

I'll try and video tape the statistics for anyone who cares


Otherwise, walking speed shouldn't really be a huge problem in 0.85, either, because you will have heavily armoured vehicles taking you to your destination much more often.

[CodeRedFox]

We COULD slow it down to walking....if everyone want to get all ***** about it

[DesmoLocke]

I love every post by CodeRedFox! Always the constant barometer. I feel the changes made regarding stamina made for .85 are great! Now, when it comes to the logistics side of things, we'll just have to wait and see...

[Sabre-Oz]

we will all get use to it, like we got used to 0.8, and we know that from the start it will at the very least be better than 0.8 so i don't see what all le'fuss is about.
