needs a sprint bad, otehrwise a 10% increase would be best.

i think its ok. would be a good idea for the devs to add a "sprint".

for example, in the game "Americas Army" there is a sprint option where you run much faster but you can not fire ( your weapon goes down ).

When you take off heavy armor it's just fine.

yeah heavy armor helps soo much..but is soo freakin heavy. goin up stairs suxors

I am fine with the walk/run speed, although I wouldn't mind it being slightly faster maybe 5-10%. But plz fix the stairs, I duno if that is a unreal map issue, or game engine? Not sure, but it definately needs to be fixed.

Walk speed is fine imho, run speed needs to be a little faster though...or add a "no fire" sprint mode.

Please dont ruin the strategy part of the game!!

Walk speeds are good except on stairs, I hope they work on the stairs. I would hate to see them speed it up too much but I would like a little increase in run speeds.

i made a server last night and i modified the run speed...UNFORTUNATELY i couldnt get the speed to be bummped up on the stairs...so if u speed the game up it will make the steps unbearable. But i think the game should be left as is...i like this community...constructive critisism is a good thing.

and yes november i will edit your post if i feel like it.

Check the official forums, the dev team clearly explains why they chose the speeds they did. With guidance from real SWAT, the fact of the matter is that SWAT does not sprint. Ever. SWAT teaches all about tactical, quiet movement. The stairs speed is deliberately at its current speed because that is how a SWAT officer is trained to ascend stairs. If any of you own any type of gun, trying going up stairs fast and aiming the gun with little or no bob. I'm glad to see a game studio finally ignoring the arcade-ish aspect of shooters and going for intense realism. The only issue that needs to be fixed in this game is how a flashbang flashes you even if you look away or are around some corners.

well. as far as the walking speed goes we have a member of STARS who is currently inrolled in the swat for i dont know how many years that claims you never run/walk like that. i'm guessing he's in his mid 40's and yeah. he knows a lot and is very well trianed with the military and swat.

personally, I can tolerate the speed, but would prefer to be a bit faster, I play the games more for fun than for "realism" and it would be more fun with a tad more speed. I know most of my clan would play this more if it was speeded up a bit, as well as quite a few other people.

yeah...guess we eneed to think about havin the speed bummped.

To the people that say SWAT never run:

It's ridiculas that if someone is taking shots at me and I don't have sufficent cover, that I can't sprint 10 feet to a piller. Screw aiming, I don't need to aim when I'm running for my life.

Dr. B

SWAT is designed to never be in that situation. SWAT shouldn't be called to a situation where sufficient cover isn't provided. Show me on video or story of a SWAT situation in real life where SWAT had to run from place to place cuz they were being shot at.

Ive yet to see any SWAT on tv or whatever run for their life...i think the speed is fine...it makes you take your time and plan your moves...when you get into a match you will understand why the speed is set the way it is

Situations rarely go 100% according to plan. When a bad situation turns worse, people run!

yeah but even when situations go bad...swat members tacticaly retreat...they dont run away because someone might be left exposed and/or behind. So they retreat in an orderly fashoin to keep everyone as safe as possible

Exactly. SWAT never leaves a man behind, and every member always has some sort of teammate cover of some sort. I can give a video which at first glance doesn't seem to be anything but SWAT standing in a group and moving to a subject they just terminated. However a SWAT officer outlined the steps they followed only in just walking that few feet. This game encourages group/tactical movement on purpose.

this isnt a training video is it? I can understand with the name swat they want realism, but realize its meant for fun. Besides if they can put in invisible corners for stingers to bounce off of, then they can give us the speed to run away from them....

booboo...from what i asked from VU devs that problem has been fixed..but im emailing them again..just to verify this. The speed is fine...

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if the public wants us to change the rules for the server settings...THEN im sure me and the other admins will consider it..but like i said...more than half of the public will have to want this for it to be considered.

ahh, I am new to the whole swat thing, and i dont know many in the existing swat community, I just know alot of people who would play this more if it was speeded up, I just dont want to be bitchy, cuz i know how pissed I would be if some swat player came to RVS demanding the speed to be slowed down.... guess its just what your used to. Either way I am going to buy and play swat4 competitively, would just like to bring a few friends with me who I know wont play because of the speed.

yeah i know.but its just the safe thing to wait for the final release before this is considered...

agree?

I see both sides and unfortunately agree with both sides. I have played swat since released, I agree its wayyyyyyyyy more tactical than any other tactical shooter ive played. I agree that more players from other games would prob filter over if speed was increased, but then again why ruin it for those that like it. The speed is main issue for my clan not playing it. just my .02
