I do wish they would add in variable speed changes for vehicles, in ps1 you could press 1 to 10 for increments in auto speed changes. I find = and - to be the most bizarre situated hotkeys ever for flying especially. Maybe come launch I can change this to my mousewheel.

Its a pain when your actually in combat, it would be nice to have a bind-able auto run key and a hold to run key.

I asked TRay the other night as we met up for the 12v12.

He said auto driving for tanks may be coming, but he knows nothing of auto run atm.

Toggle run is not the same as the auto run that we are talking about - we are talking about a key that we hit where we don't have to do anything but steer.

A lot of good keyboard work can be done while trudging across the maps to the action.

I know that they've committed to adding autorun at some point but that the coder who would be doing it was already working like crazy on other stuff.

Still, reminders are good to provide.

Autorun is mandatory.

This gets me thinking about how much I utilized auto-run in PS.

.....hit auto-run on the way to the veh terminal, quickly check map and doubleclick a couple bases, check squad, check outfit list, invite player, check my inventory and get my cursor over the right spot for hot-swapping, pull out knife and switch to force-blade, and BAM at the vehicle term pulling my mossy....lol

I'll try and ask about this tomorrow.

Someone remind me

REMINDER!

So this is coming but it may not be in for release. It's on the roadmap for sure.

PClownPosse · 2012-10-22, 11:46 PM

Ask about an auto drive too, lol. Didn't we have that in ps1? Press a button once for full throttle in a tank or reaver?

Yes we did and with such big maps that is a feature that should be in for Ground Veh, MAXs and Infantry for PS2 also. The thing that I find funny is they have it for Air, but it works for nothing else.

WHAAAT - it should take such a small amount of programming time it's not even funny.

/resign. Didn't realize this thread would become so popular.

Babyfark McGeez · 2012-10-25, 08:41 PM

Yeh agreed, autorun and autodrive / throttle would be very nice.

As for ppl abusing it to prevent idle kicks, if you find someone running into a wall for a minute, just shoot him. Can't autorun in the deploy-menu.
