Hey guys I love the game but I must say that if I could only run as fast/long as these soldiers in Iraq, I woulda got my *** shot off....plain and simple.
Please do not say that every soldier is carrying 70 pounds of gear....I don't know ANYONE that carried full ruck load into combat. If you want reality, reskin all the soldiers without ruck sacks/shelter halves/sleeping bags....
The only other thing I can think of is that every soldier in Project Reality is similar to an American National Guardsman only of their respective country, and doesn't have the knowhow of what to bring into combat, nor the discipline to physically train oneself to run 50 feet without getting tired. Which is it?
There are a WHOLE community of ex-soldiers and marines that enjoy this game but LOATHE the sprint. My compadres are already lookin at other mods. Please increase the sprint and/or the replenish time.....this game could be so much more awesome with that realism.
0.85 is right around the corner....please fix this wrong which the community has been begging for for quite some time now....

Re: SPRINT!!
It has been altered slightly for 0.85, 1 minute 20 seconds to fully recharge the sprint bar and a longer sprint time... However on PR whenever a soldier moves around they are jogging so it's not unreasonable that they wouldn't be able to sprint for a very long time... THe main idea of the sprint is so that you can run across a road or run between cover. For the majority of the time normal jogging should be fine.

Re: SPRINT!!
Its already been fixed. I don't know the link to the thread. I think .8 is 20 seconds sprint with 90 second recovery time, and .85 is 30 seconds sprint and 80 seconds recovery time.StiffyMagnum wrote:Hey guys I love the game but I must say that if I could only run as fast/long as these soldiers in Iraq, I woulda got my *** shot off....plain and simple.

I'm curious, you want to give up PR because of a lack of sprint? Remember this is reality mod, not vanilla BF2. If you want to talk about RL, then let me ask you a few questions.
What kind of soldiers SPRINT through the battlefield? That is very rambo and will get you shot. WALK! The only time you'll need your sprint, which you should always SAVE, is when you need to cross a street or cross a open field where there is no cover. If you're SL is always running and you're always playing catch up, or if you're SL and your squad is always chasing you, perhaps you should find a new SL or be a better inf SL.
Yes, the gameplay is slower now, but it was changed for the better. Try slowing down and not use up all your sprint just to get to the firefight fast to "be pwning and fragging noobz," and you'll notice that you survive longer on the Battlefield.
Hope that answers your question.
Edit,
Damn! Ninja'd lol, but I think my answer is more complete.
