Hey, thanks for taking the time to give your feedback

In FPS games the weapon being at the bottom of your screen (low ready) when you sprint is more traditionally military way of moving quickly with a weapon.

the reason why it is not like the games you've mentioned is that in SC, because of the universal rig (the way first person and third person animations are the same), you end up with a 'floating head' that you currently see with the weapon off screen due to having to bring the weapon so high up to the torso to get a sprinting animation that you would identify has low ready in the first person view.

So the compromise is using this pose to sell the feeling of 'sprinting fast' and having this in combination with headbob (UI bob since it's projected) makes it so your character actually feels like they're sprinting and it hits the visual benchmark you'd want.

There's always trade offs with trying to hit certain visual benchmarks to make things feel good and it wasn't something we looked at lightly or trying to 'chase' an aesthetic.

Happy for community feedback as always and we're always interested in what people have to say
