Running speed too fast?

[Salamander]

I really am looking forward to this game, however one thing which im not so keen on is the speed at which you "walk", its like you are running everywhere - even backwards running?

I would prefer it if the game adopted the HL2 kind of walk / sprint mechanism as for one its far more realistic, and two im sure it would add much more tension to certain parts of the game.

Cheers.

Then it would take ages for them to go from a to b. No they need their speed, they've got mad zombies running after them!

[Salamander]

Yea, its only a small point, but I would hope that the run speed might be slightly reduced.

Perhaps the game will be modable to allow you to alter the speed?

[Puscifer]

nooooooooo, running speed is fine, its the same as css maybe a little faster. When u actually play the game u will be glad of it trust me:P

think of some of the most intense moments u get in css, when ur playing well and take out like 3-4 guys in a shoot out by shimmying etc...

well L4D is that feeling all the way through i bet ya:P

[MrToodles]

You can probably just hold shift to walk if your one to take it slow.

[tonjohn]

I'll say it once and I'll say it again - there is nothing wrong with the run speed.

It might look fast when watching videos but when you actually play the game it feels and looks just fine.

[No Shelter]

Well I would be running too if I saw some zombies chasing me!

[Rannos]

You probably won't be running full throttle the entire time. Damage down to players slows down their movement speed. So, if you got a couple injured folks in your team, then you'll probably slow down too. Unless yer a dick, then you might just leave em for dead :P

[Puscifer]

lmao my injured friends gonna wish he gave me that medi pack on the previous map:)

haha this games just gonna be so good...

[hooray for zombies]

wow, this old argument. Am I the only one who remembers this happening a loooong time ago? Infact this and the iron-sights debate used to be the two big disagreements on this board. Ahhhh, those were the days

[Puscifer]

lmao i remember, i think its settled though now.

running speed will be spot on (with moving slow when injured and the ability to walk).

and iron sights for a game of this pace is just stupid...

[Ydiss]

If they made the average speed of movement less then they'd have to do the same for the infected, which would mean a game with slower pace overall.

Perhaps a mod will come out with this to satisfy your tastes for slower game play.

Precisely, any slower and they'd be emo tards who want to die.

[sandollor]

Agreed.

It does look fast but feels just as you describe. The speed felt just right for the game.

[Zombie Ade]

You`ll need to be able to walk though - I thought thats what you had to do to get passed the sleeping witch.
If TRS pay attention to detail ( as they appear to be doing so far ) then running will make more noise than walking , which will wake the witch. So , I reckon a shift to walk will be there.

Did you not notice this during your playtest frogopus?

[USS_Stud]

its the same as css maybe a little faster
Understandable. You don't really see special forces sprinting with tactical gear on.

[mailor]

I agree, that the running speed is totally ridiculous, and having no iron sights sucks as well...

Maybe this game will be modded to become a decent game. The way it seems now, I won't have much fun with the game "out of the box".

Noes, no iron sights! Teh game sucks!! lulz!!1

Trust me, if you're not going to like it out of the box, you're not going to like it at all.

thats just stupid!!!

running speed is perfect, and iron sights in this game has gotta be the worst idea ive heard!!!

[Salamander]

I personally would prefer it was the other way around, you had to press Alt or Shift to run, and normally you walk at a lower pace, but thats just my personal prefererence.

[Puscifer]

squerl/frog can u confirm that u can walk by pressing shift? because i havn't seen any1 walking in the vids apart from when they're injured.

If thats the attitude you have now then maybe COD4 and America's Army are more your type of games.

Of course you can, what do you think they mention when a WITCH IS NEARBY?

Oh yes, cheers to the good old days!

Oh yes, cheers to the good old day
this is a new one? i thought this was the old one bumped up....wow i'm slow

I didn't like Battlefield 2 as it was, but the Reality mod made it an awesome game.

Not in my case. Why does a game with Zombies in it automatically have to be an arcade shooter? I'd like to see a Zombie shooter that keeps with realism gameplay wise (yes I know Zombies are not realistic themselfes, but that's not the point). And please don't call me stupid, just because I don't share the same taste as you. From the trailers this game looks nothing more than a simplistic arcade shooter, and it's not my type of game. Maybe it is modable to suit my tastes, that is all that I am saying.

I don't think so. Because there are no zombies in it :)

Blatant liar, everyone can see right through you, you yearn for this game. If it wasn't to your satisfaction then why even bother signing up to this forum. To post 'maybes' and 'what-ifs'... pfft.

Having ironsights and stuff effectively makes it a tactical shooter, which isn't the direction anyone ever intended for this game.

[Capo Di Tutti Capi]

Well I would be running too if I saw some zombies chasing me!

so wud i, cmon they hv u runing so that wen u're seriously injured ur not crawling along, ther guys at valve r working on, and all steam games are heavily moddable so dont fret, if u want to die im sure no1 will mind

[Lolerskates]

3d scopes and first person sights would be awesome.

I dont think sightings would be that good, I'd rather stick with the aiming cross. Cause I dont want teammates spraying whenever they dont use the ironsight.

Then this would just be Special Forces VS Infected. Maybe a future mod perhaps ^_^

[Lolerskates]

Then this would just be Special Forces VS Infected

uh,no? How would different gameplay elements change who is fighting the infected? Besides, Games with first person sighting enable superior accuracy.
