These are two things I’d like to see in Battlefield 1. The first is an option for limited sprint. Battlefield 4 is fun and all, but the gameplay is too stuck in a one-speed mode, for my tastes. A limited sprint server-side option would be really attractive for people who want more classic Battlefield gameplay, and with the added dynamics and tactics which having a limited amount of sprinting capability on-hand would give. A limited sprint option is also something which people in the Battlefield community asked for in both Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 4. I find it peculiar that, despite almost every other option imaginable was given for Battlefield 4 server admins (with many being added after the game’s initial release), that an option for limited sprint was not also retroactively given. It’s really the one option needed, from Battlefield 4’s option, to be able to set up a server’s gameplay to be just like classic Battlefield. For those who would play on servers using it, limited stamina adds depth, and a feeling of planning and strategy to combat, and also puts an emphasis on teamwork transportation. Limited stamina really brings out a new, big layer of strategy to Battlefield. And when having played Battlefield 4 for so long, playing on servers with the option of limited stamina would change the pace of the game, and offer a refreshing experience. So, I really hope that limited sprint will be in Battlefield 1, as a server-side option. I’d also like to see all of Battlefield 4’s server options included in Battlefield 1, and also an improved chat box, with an improved map vote function. The other thing I’d like to see in Battlefield 1, is multiple class loadout presets for each class, that can have loadouts saved to them, and selected with a single click at the main redeploy screen. Maybe 3 or 4 loadouts per class, and just have the loadout numbers listed beneath the class selection boxes on the redeploy screen, with the selected loadout number highlighted. This way, loadouts useful for particular situations, or maps, or squad roles can be saved, and switched between on the fly. It would also encourage trying out different styles of playing, with totally different gear, without worry of having to re-figure out what build was previously used. These are two things that I would find really enjoyable to have in Bf1, and I’m really looking forward to Bf1 and upcoming gameplay reveals. Good luck, DICE. ---

100% No on limited sprint. ---

It’s really the one option needed, from Battlefield 4’s option, to be able to set up a server’s gameplay to be just like classic Battlefield. A small minority of people have been asking for limited sprint because they want BF to be more like a military sim… Having limited sprint becomes very aggravating considering your soldier becomes “tired” after 5 minutes… I don’t care if it’s realistic, it stupid.. Something **ACTUALLY NEEDED** to admins is actually allowing your server rules to be enforced. For example, Hardline server owners can put bans on weapons they don’t enjoy which can be useful in things like knives only servers. ---

No, limited sprint is not for me about being more of a military sim, but about having a fun gameplay dynamic. Also, people want a limited sprint option in Battlefield because it worked in earlier Battlefields, and brought a quality dynamic to gameplay that people would like to see again. And you shouldn’t be telling anyone else whether what they enjoy is stupid or not, and people could say the same of the things you enjoy. Have some respect for people’s different tastes, particularly when limited sprint is a part some of the most renowned games from Battlefield’s legacy. Saying 100% no to limited sprint is like saying 100% no to private servers, and 100% no to ultra high tick rate, and 100% no to spectator mode, and 100% no to 10-player game sizes, and 100% no to Gun Master game mode, and 100% no to Air Superiority game mode, and 100% no to many more things that were in Battlefield 3 and 4, and which will likely be in Battlefield 1. All those things are wanted by a minority of people, whereas the people who would receive great enjoyment from playing a game with limited sprint are more than many of those things. Limited sprint is what helps make 1942, Vietnam, Battlefield 2 the classic games that they are. Having guns that run out of ammo and have to be reloaded must also be stupid to you, because it interrupts the bang-bang, and can get you killed. And you must hate squads in Battlefield, because they encourage teamwork, rather than lone-wolf whatever-style playing, just like limited sprint does in vehicular transportation. Please DICE, don’t listen to the inexperienced and selfish players who only want Battlefield to be the one style which they want to play as (If I did the same, I would be telling DICE 100% no to anything but Conquest Large… but I have more sense than to do that), and provide us with a server-side option in Battlefield 1 for limited sprint, so that a more dynamic-speed, hardcore, team-work focused experience can be had in Battlefield 1, by those who are appreciating of it. I know it is a good option to have, because, aside from enjoying it in previous Battlefields, even when I load them up now, Battlefield 4’s one-speed gameplay has become very tiresome, and I clearly see how having limited sprint would change up my play style, and make my movements more considered and tactical. 100% Yes Please DICE, to having a limited stamina option. ---

Preset loadout in game would be good. Limited stamina needs to be balanced to work. Some BF2 maps where to large for the short stamina and lacked of vehicle, so the pace of the game was slower. BF4 might have been a bit slower pace with limited stamina, but it could have worked due to the amount of vehicle available on the larger maps. The issue for WW1 is the lack of vehicles and not knowing the size of map, limited stamina might slow the pace to much or Stamina maybe so long there is no point limiting. ---

I agree that in Battlefield 2, the limited sprint could be pretty restricting - though at the same time, having no limited-sprint in Battlefield 4 makes the gameplay bland and monotonous, a one-speed lesser-quality flavor that becomes distasteful over time. The sprint speed in Battlefield 4 seems faster to me than the sprint in early Battlefield, so that helps with travelling distances. Other changes I would expect in a modern limited sprint include making the sprint stamina last somewhere between 1.25x - 1.75x longer than in classic Battlefield, and maybe also, by a small degree, reduce the time it takes for stamina to replenish. ---

No limited sprint. Multiple class loadouts presets should have been years ago ---

I also want limited sprint. Also, different soldier movement speed based on class loadout, heavy equipment should = slow movement. ---

TL;DR I don’t even know what point your making in this… I gave my opinion to the topic, now your accusing me of not respecting your opinion on it? The example you gave have nothing to do with the soldier in the game but to server options.. People do hate on the suggestions on the topic I give, you know why? Because it’s **THEIR OPINION**. I gave you my two cents on the topic and how I felt about it, why get so upset about it? I wouldn’t mind if this was in a hardcore setting, but for die-hard casuals like myself, it wouldn’t fit.. I don’t know what limited sprint has to do with squads (a bit irrelevant don’t ya think?). > [@Turbo\_Siats](#): > > Please DICE, don’t listen to the inexperienced and selfish players who only want Battlefield to be the one style which they want to play as I’m done… I gave my opinion now you think I’m selfish and “inexperience” because of it? Yeah ok… I don’t suppose you expected everyone to agree with you? If you did than that makes you pretty stupid… ---

Yeah ok… I don’t suppose you expected everyone to agree with you? If you did than that makes you pretty stupid… You didn’t read the post, and you’re surprised you didn’t get its point? There’s nothing wrong, or selfish about having an opinion, but when you go saying that other people’s opinions are stupid in your first post… and now you’re here complaining that your opinion wasn’t received well. No one’s expecting people to conform to anyone else’s opinion, but you seem to have difficulty expressing yourself in way that acknowledges that opinions other than yours are valid.
