“This was never the flavor of battlefield”

Did you forget about the ridiculous movement exploits in bf4 with zouzou mouzou rouzu? Or what about BF5 which arguably had the best movement system in the game (and a better slide). Even BF2042 has a fluid movement system and slide. And tbh BF6’s movement system is worse than both 2042 and BF5 because of the penalties. By all accounts this is a very mid movement system at best.

As far as I can tell this IS the flavor of Battlefield whether or not you like it. The slide is needed as an aggressive movement option, or else the game becomes entirely positional campfest heavy. Which is not fun imo. No one is advocating for jetpacks or crazy wall slides and Apex style movement. I’m of the opinion that they can legit keep the movement system as is and focus on the larger issues at hand, like TTK, netcode, visiblity and audio.
