Would it be cool, if you press and hold running button for a while, the soldier should dash, not run. :?

Hmm ...my idea is if u hold shift u could walk , not run ...
...for stealth operations :D

how about you double tap and on the second you hold it,and you sprint..

This is a good idea, great for those quick get aways. Just to make it more interesting, make it so the Soldat can't shoot while dashing, this would make it so people would be using it to excape, or penetrate large defenses. The ability to shoot while doing this would make it kind of lame...

And maybe while you did it you took less damage, but it only lasts a short time.

Naw, keep the damage the same, there would be a lot of ways of exploiting this is you took less damage...

Yeah..but we'd need a stamina bar or something.
Lot unlimited running,people would just sprint back/fourth on ctf
Then make it slowly regenerate when standing still or something

You could just jump repeatedly in the direction you're running.

A better solution to this would be to make it use up your jetpack bar. This way you can't run around for awile then jet away. It would also be easier than implementing a new bar.

As for what Lapis said, jumping does serve a similar function, but dashing would make it a lot more easier and fun! Jumping can sometimes make you jump up too high and into enemy fire or sniper range.

Plus,you could be all james bond style,
dash,dodge a giant law explosion,jump then prone and ride the wave :P

would be much better if
with a double tap you can jump to the direction pressed
but a "non-tall" side jump

Like..an actual leap or skip..or really big step

You do that when you are jumping backwards, now only if it were possible while going fowards...

Maybe wehn you sprint, you lose accuracy?

lol, skirmishes. i like this. shift or spacebar should be the sprint button. when u sprint u cant shoot. also having very heavy weapons like minigun should make you not able to sprint or run slower for a shorter time

Yup, the bink effect would be more effective.

I go for space bar or double-tap. I hate pressing shift, cuz do it five times, and it goes back to windows asking you a stupid question about sticky keys or sumtin. Thats how I allways lost drag races in nfs:u2

I've had those messages too, I hate them.

Good idea i have been thinking about runing too. ;)

M79 jump.

You lose health, it's dangerous.

or you can always jump forward if you know how to do it right... with the terrain...
don't really need dashing...

noooo
too much GTA lol
if you want to go fast just run and jump
a "side jump" would be MUCH more helpful
so you dont need to run fast to jump to a side....
a single double-tap ;)

i have a better idea......MINIGUN, IT MAKES THE CHASERS LAG SO THEY LOOSE ACCURACY AND STUFF!!!!!!!!!
lol jk i like the idea...

what about make the dashing use up all the boost u have, and how many boost u have, how far u can dash

I like this idea, and:

1. Not able to shoot

2. A separate stamina bar that regenerates when standing

3. Maybe when you are dashing, then roll, you can roll twice as fast as well, or roll in the air for a short period of time.

4. This is just for fun, but if you are dashing, and you get shot and killed with anything except the m79 or LAW, the kill will be counted, but you will continue running from the momentum, but sort of lopsided-like, and then drop down dead. Getting hit with M79 or LAW would result in the usual explosion.

yea, a jet-dash would be also cool

I think the only way this would work properly is if it drained jet bar. Being able to sprint and jet would make it too easy to escape. And dashing would sometimes help where jumping wouldnt. I always find my self jump-running and flying a 100 feet into the air, only to come crashing down and losing all of my momentunm. I think dashing is a great idea!

Argh, bump!
If you have to revive something like this, shouldn't you do it the "Soldat Improvements Discussion" Forum? Sorry for backseat modering :/

nah we already have back flip no need to fill the game up with other garbage.

It's not so bad to revive this, I actually like this idea, useful for chasing with knives. :]

Yeah, and the rule does say "if you have something important" to add...

Hmmm, okay then. It could be useful, but having it draining your jet bar would be kind of strange. Gameplay wise, it could work though.

Or just have it use your jets fuel or something.

If you want it to be realistic, just make it jets that come out of your back and speed you up. Not being able to jet with both feet and back because that'd overheat it and .. BOOM!

That's if you want a logical explanation of course ...

Altough then you would have to make some kind of jet pack on little Soldiers back ... So meh I say.

no.

how i would like the dashing: double tap the direction u want to go, accuracy goes low and u could like ''blast-off'' with your jets while dashing (first dash, then press jump and jet buttons at the same time and u get xtra boosted lift-off!)

I posted a dash idea before too. My idea is that dashing will use the jet fuel. The more fuel your have, the longer your can dash, but dashing will cost more fuel then noraml flying. And because you use the jst to dush, so your can dush any direction you want.

how about it takes up jet pack fuel

Jets... So that the soldier would use jet boots for running, like floating a little bit?
Jebushunter, look at kwanfei's reply.

Why should it take more fuel than regular flying if it only works when you hold a movement key for a while? You have to jump some time to get over rocks & stuff so it should be the same. I like fuel consumption.

yea i think u can already move fast enough

Yeah.. why go faster when you can just have a spas?

What if spas is blocked or you don't want to use it? :D

Then use Minigun! xP And I've never seen the 1337 shotgun blocked...

Dashing should be perfromed like megaman, or shinobi.

Wow, nice bump. :|

ohh someone needs a good spanking. it would be a good idea to add dashing but with the skipping we wouldnt need it

Sudden quick movements are never great in online action games as they are extremely susceptible to latency. Dashing with even a reasonable ping of say 150 would cause very laggy movement and prove to make playing and shooting very difficult (less fun). Notice in Soldat the dampening on movement? You the D and it takes a moment for the character to build momentum and actually get going? It is done like that for good reason.

quote rhombus (sometime ago)
If we added dashing, it would just be like gunz.

So yeah, not a good idea.
