Sprinting in Bad Company 2???

Is it the same as MW2 where you click L3 and hold forward? Or is there something else? It doesn't seem to work for me like in MW2 (no I have not changed any controller settings). Either that or like EVERYONE has the Lightweight pack equipped because I always seem to fall behind my rushing teammates even when I'm trying to sprint.

Probably just people using the perc.

If your gun is wobbling around like you're sprinting then you're sprinting. Most people I play with don't use the lightweight perk though so I don't know why they're going faster. But yes, it's L3 just like most other games.

That's what I was thinking but nothing seems to happen even when I click and press L3 forward to run, it seems like I'm still going the same speed. So at first I thought it was the perk, but literally EVERYONE outruns me. Tonight I got knifed from behind even when running straight forward, so I'm starting to think I'm not even "sprinting" full speed. Even with Modern Warfare it often slips out of sprint when I am pushing forward (so then I have to stop, reclick, hold the clock and press forward again - this got me killed a few times in MW2).

It seems like in BFBC I get nothing at all. Maybe my L3 button just sucks, I really hate having to click and hold down to begin with. That's kind of a stupid controle schem. Why not just have it pressure sensitive with the analog stick, press it all the way up for a full sprint?

I really don't think it's working for me then. When I click I'm not really getting the "full sprint" animation like I get in MW2. Weird. No wonder I keep getting sniped. I'm not even running full speed!!!

Maybe I need a new contoller or something. Like I said it isn't great in MW2 either, but at least it works most of the time.

For me even on MW2 it doesn't work "all the time". It works 95% of the time, sometimes I need to reclick L3 and press forward because it doesn't work the first time. If the running speed were simply "pressure sensitive" where pressing all the way was an all out run, and pressing a little was a careful walk, then it would work 100% of the time. The fact we click and hold L3 for sprinting is an unnecessary nuiscance.

The R3 and L3 buttons shoudl be used for toggling. Like toggling menus, or weapons (or going from standing/crouch/prone like the R3 button is often uesd for). That works great. But my L3 has always been dicey. It's imperfect control scheme to have to click it AND hold it in the forward direction. When I start moving the stick it seems that it stops registering that L3 also is pressed down.
