Well, i meant in BF2 the "climbing" as the status of a player when he's on a ladder... but nevermind it

Well, after toiling this thread it's still pretty unclear if it's totally hardcoded or not. I myself have thought about a similar suggestion. Mongol is even curious about this occurance, there still may be a chance to have this work. But really, is it possible at all to utilize the "sprint" ability in other stances?

We already have the ability to "sprint" while running, but is it capable of occuring to "sprint" while crouched, and "sprint" while laying down prone. Of course I don't mean to get up and start running, my point being is to use the "sprint" function to increase momvent speed in that stance only.

Standing - Sprint at 100% (Standing and running faster than normal.)
Crouched - Sprint at 75% (Crouched and moving faster than normal.)
Prone - Sprint at 50% (Prone and crawling faster than normal.)

Of course when you use the "sprint" ability in any stance even if it be standing, crouched or prone it will still gradually reduce your available stamina resource pool. The very same way that we use the standard "sprint" function now.

If this is possible, it'd be great. There's been plenty of times where people could have evaded fire if they could be able to simply just get out of dodge faster. Getting pinned down while crouched or prone feels like forever to get anywhere.

Make crouching speed faster, but ALWAYS take away stamina if you move when crouching, coz walking crouched is anything but easy.
While we r at it, lets make proned movement use up stamina too.

HOLY THREAD REVIVAL BATMAN!

Nah, pretty sure different movement speeds in crouch/prone are hardcoded. Like said earlier, buy the Dev's the source code and we're sorted, untill then we'll just have to live with it.

Why doesent someone work on cracking the source code, who needs to support EA anyway

Great idea, if you need to get down in cover, but move quickly, excellent, i would love it

Good idea, might be possible, you can add boost to any of the vehicles, i haven't looked at any inf code though!

Has EA truely given notice that the source code is purchasable? Of course to aquire it would be nice, however I think we all know that EA would probably want some obscene amount of money for an already limited engine...

Makes you wonder if it's worth it at all in the end. I've already handed them $49.99 to get the game that a handful of freelance reality based players had to save. So essentially, they've done very little other than providing player and vehicle models.

I hate the way you can only run standing up its stupid. If any of my cadets did that on a night ex id give em a bollcoking for being, lazy giving away our position and generally being stupid. ahh the life of a corporal.

Monkey run FTW

Fixed.

I know so many people that have bought BF2 just for PR. Unfortunately, profit will always trump customer satisfaction.

isn't it monkey crawl? bu the worst is leapord crawl, doing that silently for a long distance is actually hell.

Maybe when you press the sprint button it can make you 'monkey run' instead of sprinting standing up right, would a good idea and all you'd need to do is change the sprinting animation, so do-able!!

@ the scot 666, no its monkey run, and leopard crawl is annoying i once did it for near;y 400m in a wet field, on a dissused air base, me and a cadet needed to get back to our harbour area after my squad got comprimised, we had to go past this sentry who was patroling along a taxiway and we ran across when he took a phone call on his mobile we got back only to find the exercise was finished so all our covert crawling was pretty pointless

All you have to do? So do-able? If animations were easy and quick to do, we'd have more/an animator(s) involved in PR. Take a look at some animation tuts, learn how to do it and give it a go. I've looked into it but don't have time atm.

I've only heard of 1 animator working with the dev's at some point, I've forgotten their name but I'm sure they'll be highly valued and sought after.

But yeah, that may be all that's needed to be done.
