Why is toggle sprint so silly?

[Arkanor]

Anyone noticed how the toggle sprint just works...unintuitively? It's not like any other game I can think of and for good reason, it's ridiculous.

Normally, in a lot of games you run (W) hit shift, and when you stop moving you're stopped. The next time you press W you normal-run forward, so you can shoot/manuever, stuff.

However in this, after stopping from a sprint, hitting W sends you back into sprint. There's no indication sprint is "toggled", but it's really awkward if you want to say, sprint to a wall and then maneuver so you can shoot, because you'll sprint into the wall or out of cover, unable to firing while doing so.

Does anyone actually like this system? It seems really...off
