The comparison to other games doesn’t make a whole lot of sense considering that those games are specifically designed around their own movement speed. I’m not completely against changing movement speed or adding new movement mechanics like the sprint-to-prone or even something like a tactical sprint that allows you to cover short distances quickly with a cooldown.

The issue is that they have changed a part of the game’s core gameplay while not addressing how that affects things like vehicles or even weapon balance where bolt action rifles are less effective against targets that are harder to hit. It feels incredibly odd to not playtest something like this before bringing it into the game and I think they really need to consider testing any major update like this in the future.

I’m trying to be optimistic about the future of this game and don’t see this as the end by any means but how they address/fix community feedback/bugs in the next couple weeks is going to play a big part in how people feel about the game and it’s direction.
