QW is a joke. Sure a trained soldier can run for a long time, but with heavy equipment and body armor it will greatly reduce their stam in a sprint. It's fine just having a stam bar and i wont mind a longer sprint duration with a trade off of more rest.

Personally, i'd like to strangle the first idiotic human being who did not iclude spirnt which drains stamina.

But it can't be like BF2/2142. Soldiers can quite obviously run much longer that that...a lot longer. However although I have not see the sprint in QW, I bet its too fast - and thats your main problem; not how long the sprint is.

I think it'd be a good idea if you changed the stamina decrease for the different classes...Like...An anti-vehicular class guy definately wouldn't be able to sprint as far as a scout class guy because the scout class guy carries A LOT less stuff than the other...It wouldn't make sense if they were able to run for the same distance...It'd be like "ZOMG WTF HOWZ DO YOU RUN!?!?!"...At least for me.

Either way..It'd be cool if nothing else, you make them run a little bit slower than other classes too. Cause, using the same scenario above, the AV guy won't run as fast as the S guy because he has more stuff to carry.

Agree with Ty. Long sprint time, long recharge time. Far more real than three seconds of sprint followed by three seconds of rest followed by repeating the former two points until shot.

Disagree. You mean the default of all is faster that BF2142? (for both normal run and sprint)

Jumping taking 1/2 of your stamina (to eliminate Bunny Hopping)

Agree.

A little bit slower recharge rate

Agree.

Overall I say sprint should be longer. Stamina should be extended alot. BF2142 soldiers are like fat people running away from food. However, sprint should be slowed down a bit. Trained soldiers are trained to runs miles, but they don't sprint like it 2142/BF2. It's more of a quick jog.

If you make speeds even higher it will just make it into an extreme run-n-gun arcade game which is nothing like Star Wars should play. Running faster than already in-game will also make the netcode seem worse than it already is.

In addition, jump height should be slightly lowered, or lowered just enough so the player can get over most obstacles while not jumping retardedly high ala BF2142/BF2.

I didn't notice much diffference between 2 and 2142 but the stock walking speed in Joint Ops was much higher, and that felt better imo.

A higher stock and sprint speed would be very good imo.

Personally I find QuakeWars , for all its nice graphics and cool building features, is a poor game (judging off the beta) that i shall not be buying.

The fighting mechanics feel very dated and far too fast. Therefore I wont be pushing for the abandonment of the sprint bar. However , i do feel bf2142's sprint bar doesnt last quite long enough. I dunno whether i am correct but it seems like its not as long lasting as it was in bf2(atleast without the unlocks)....where it seemed more realistic.

I must say (back on topic ) that having now played the QUAKE WARS BETA the unlimited SPRINT (i.e. no stamina bar) really works well!!!!!

It means that you basically move around the map quicker and get to the action

You still get the "tactical" decisions of when to SPRINT (where you can't shoot) and when to run, when to walk, when to walk crouched, when to stop / crouch to shoot, and when to go prone

Having gone back to playing BF2142 after QUAKE WARS it feels really "slow"

I appreciate it is a different game and I can live with that but this "slowness" is further emphasised by the SPRINT Stamina running out really quickly in BF2142

Bearing in mind that many FS players may also be playing QUAKE WARS and possibly CRySiS (which looks even faster that QUAKE WARS to me! )

I would strongly recommend that the FS Devs consider removing the Sprint Stamina bar to allow people unlimited sprint to move around the maps (which does not remove any of the tactics decisions raised in this thread)

I also read that the QW Devs have actually altered the sprinting motion to allow the use of both arms to sprint when carrying a pistol or knife - so you really do run faster with a knife (as FPS Doug knows well! )

I won't get into the whole lore aspect of Stormtrooper clones unless someone creates a thread specifically for it. Then I'll take it as a sign you guys would like to discuss it. ;-) Now, back on topic...

Well lore actually dictates that there were still a number of cloning facilities in use during the early years of the Empire, and that elite non-clone members of the Imperial military were put forward to be additional source clone material. Also apparently there were some theories that there was some limited experimentation with second generation clones (Clones derived from clone material rather than an original source) but this resulted in a watered down copy of the original sources abilities resulting in sub standard troops (probably a theory put forward to explain why Imperial Stormtroopers can't shoot for s*** ) As a result the Empire then recruited humans to bolster their Stormtrooper and TIE Pilot ranks, but only the best of the best would make the grade, and those of a certain frame of mind, that of unswerving allegiance to the Empire. But at the time of A New Hope there were still a number of clones in the Stormtrooper ranks amongst the humans.

But I think this thread has been somewhat derailed now.

Back on topic, would Wookiee's be able to sprint if they wore sneakers and eat less Wookiee Cookies?

And that's all there is to it

If anyone disagrees we can start a new thread in the SW discussion

The empire/republic only had a set batch of clones, it was not a continuing process.
After the Empire was formed they started actualy recruting and training an army.
The clones then died off from service and life expiring and the army became pure new real people
