Movement

Moving around the battlefield is fairly straightforward. You can use your controls for forward and backward movement as well as strafing to the left and right.

Strafing is a sideways move where the direction you are facing does not change. It is useful for moving out from cover to fire, and then back behind cover for protection. You can also control where you look—turning left and right as well as looking up and down.

Crouching and Sprinting

There is more to movement than just walking, such as crouching and sprinting. While crouched, you move slower. However, since you are lower, you make a smaller target for the enemy to hit and you can more easily duck behind cover.

When advancing against an enemy position, it is usually best to move crouched, as it is harder for the enemy to detect you.

Crouching also causes the reticle to tighten up, indicating an increase in weapon accuracy. So make a habit of dropping to a knee before firing a shot.

At times, it is better to move fast, which is where sprinting comes into play. You can’t use weapons or equipment while sprinting, but you are much more difficult for the enemy to hit.

Use sprinting when you have to cross a dangerously open piece of ground as you move from one position of cover to another.
