Due to the BF2 engine's severe limitations some rather drastic compromises will have to be made with regards to movement since we cannot have that '5th gear', but I think you have cut off the wrong part. It is really, really bad that there is no longer a real sprint and equally bad you can no longer storm enemy positions properly. Also, the basic movement speed is simply too slow. I made that elaborate thread with ideas to revamp the whole movement system but being that - again, due to engine limitations - you cannot have different forward, strafing and backwards movement speeds I can see that it simply would not be possible. In that light I can see why you made movement the way you did - I am also not a fan of Joint Ops style sidestepping firefights - but I would still raise overall speed slightly. The tradeoffs are just too big: You gain a slow walk useful for a limited number of tactical situations but you lose both the widely used tactical trot and sprinting. Actually, come to think of it I suppose you could say to your credit that you also gain a realistic running speed since 0.5's was probably too fast. I think the conclusion must be that your system has its merits and so has mine. No matter how much you try to think up the best system, however, you will come to the conclusion that BF2's movement system is lacking, so it really is an unfortunate situation.
