Sliding would be neat

A slide movement would be pretty cool. It could allow for moving from cover to cover faster. But there would be major drawbacks. It could that the slide uses ~60% of your stamina and once you start sliding you will be unable to shoot your gun.

Thoughts?

If you want Call of Duty, go and play Call of Duty. Don’t try and bring that garbage here.

To each there own. I think it would neat but if don’t like the idea then that’s fine

my main question is the plausibility of it since these weapons aren’t light either being made out of metal and/or wood plus ammo all of which aren’t light especially if you are carrying a mag like the fg, mgs, and smgs plus sliding wouldn’t be effective when compared to running and finding a good cover spot

I would not be opposed to a sliding/diving into cover mechanic. But I would not want it to be a COD style slide/dolphin dive.

In real combat diving would be something you only did in desperate situations (an enemy mg nest opening up on you for example) and often soldiers would injure themselves or knock the wind out of their lungs when doing these actions. So IF they were to do this, the devs would have to implement something like this to make sure its not used as an offensive combat tactic.
Having a soldier “dive” for cover and recieve a “soft lock” (all inputs do nothing) for a second or two while they regain their senses, or even take some damage based upon the surface they are diving on. Overall a combination of the two would probably be best. But to do the second option would require lots of dev time to get right, so I don’t think we’d see it anytime soon if they went with this option.

take your dumb call of duty shit outta here.

I sincerely hope the devs DONT listen to the forums because vast majority of the shit posted here is legitimately embarrassingly bad ideas.

Join Game X, immediately decry on the forums why game X is not like game Y.

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS SHIT.

well some ideas and things are universally good !.. like leaning to left or right or going prone … those should not be call of duty , battlefield or even fps things !

Sliding here would be realistic only in snow or sand surfice and when there is a slide !
You think its unrealistic ? , you never saw soldiers jump or slide into trench or into cover ?

Yes and I also want double jumps, wall jumps, insta knives, karate kicks and guns akimbo, naturally. Also, give us the ability to wear trenchcoats and paint our weapons.

No rocket jumps, though. I don’t have enough skill for that.

I played 2 seasons of Apex legends, ranked to diamond. was neat there but maps and fast paced game design alow that.

Here, no.

small slide when possible on small hills should be fine and realistic… especially on snow maps
p.s. you can actually jump of building and survive (Berlin) you just slide on the walls … roflmao

Problem is that it is very hard to implement such mechanic in a realistic way, and seeing how devs handle things sometimes (without putting much thought into it - last LF chances are the best example), I’m almost sure that we would end up with COD like bs and soldiers sliding all around on every terrain.

If it would ever be implemented it should be the last chance mechanic, to save yourself in the last moment. Not another way of moving around.

Imho the current mechanic of going prone does it already. You sprint to cover and THEN lay down if it’s not tall enough.

I think players coming from fast paced FPS use to really overestimate the actual usefulness of sliding, while IRL it is extremely situational. First and foremost, on most surfaces other than grass or a smooth floor, sliding will create insane friction, thus A) killing your momentum, B) damaging your vest/gear, and C) possibly hurting yourself. Diving down head first brings the same drawbacks, with the added malus of a severe stress to your chest and the risk of smashing your face. In both cases, it is something you would need to do when you are already within arm’s reach of the cover (or you’ll end up laying still in the open).

TLDR, sliding is NOT a way of moving, it is a way to stop faster and not even safe.

in all my time in training and deployed overseas I never saw anyone double jump or slide across the ground like mario.

The problem with “sliding” is always too fast movement speed “peaks” so to speak.
It would lead to the same problem with the bunny hopping from the closed beta.

Too fast movements in shooters always create weird feeling “net code” issues and peekers advantage.

So much to the technical issues, besides that it really wouldn’t fit the gameplay in my opinion, since enlisted isn’t trying to be a fast paced arena shooter.

ye devs are gonna keep the movement slow and bulky no modern things !.. even tho small slide snow hill or just faster movement when going downhill would be realistic imho…

red dots and lasers on your weapon in ~1944 … ow you mean like mg34 !??

Where do you see modern attachments on the MG-34 in Enlisted?

I can still bunny hop and hip fire quite effectively. Firing while jumping should be stopped all together.
