Ruined my whole experience with the game and uninstalled. Very disappointed and to get to ranked is ridiculous.

[@ThatGuySquippy]

My guess as to why they nerfed sliding is because of how gunfights work in this game. If you are in a gunfight and run out of ammo, you can simply start running and sliding around without canceling the reload animation, which makes you a much harder target to hit if you are caught reloading out in the open. Not only that, but melee weapons were almost useless due to how easily you could run and slide away from a melee weapon user if you saw one getting close. This tactic was incredibly prevalent in the Closed Beta, since you got a speed boost from sliding. Currently, this tactic still works to some degree, but it's not nearly as useful as it used to be in the Closed Beta. I assume Embark saw this tactic as a component of the ever-growing skill gap that they wanted to make smaller.

[@theoisingoysin7464]

this^

[@thenonchalantzealot1000]

Ew. Melee weapons require movement skill, that's how it is every time they appear in a movement shooter. Heavy is the only slight exception since they can rely on trapping, but it still applies.

[@tropicalfruit4571]

I don't even think this comes down to the skill gap, sure you CAN fight with ridiculous slides, but now imagine all the lights who already mastered the movement in a week (and they WILL get better) get even more speed, even more evasion, and even more momentum retention from the grappling hook; I honestly think you could probably traverse most of the map off of a single grapple which is just ridiculous. I also think sliding giving you a boost in speed would quickly become annoying, as it was in CoD 2019, every noob was doing the slide cancel which would give you some ridiculous movement speed, and movement abilities from the slide point, that it became almost like a spray pattern from CS--aim at the dick because they're gonna slide as soon as they see you, then slide mouse down for 2 shots, then go to headshot height afterwards. It was so stupid because you couldn't take any fight seriously, it was either use the fastest shooting weapon, use 1 shot weapons, or use the spray pattern, nothing inbetween in a game where gun modding went hard (before everyone started using the 2 meta weapons...). Kinda sad about the friction (though it was too low in closed beta), and I wish sliding was also simpler.

[@alejandroc4083]

Imagine someone doing this on controller oh man the meta would be so boring to watch.

[@adamszerszen3618]

Good explanation, terrible design decision, imo. At least it would give us something to do while reloading. Considering there's only 1 gun and half of them take ages to reload you end up just dancing around your oponents with no movement while relaoding. And you can't really hide anywhere and reload because the game is chaos and someone always has an angle or can just jump out of invisibility and one shot you. Jumping in and out of fight is good- because there's an objective to fight for. But that comes from someone who strongly believes this game would be better without any melee.

[@aliteralwhale]

[@alexg32ndbiggestfan]

these slide changes were something i actually happened to notice among other things, one of the changes i noticed first is that you cant mantle bounce anymore, you used to be able to mantle any ledge and at the peak of your mantle hold any movement input and jump and get significant distance and slide out of it, you cant do it at all any more, only sort of half the same thing exists when moving forward still

[@Burkius]

You can, i happened to do it last night and was just practicing it in qp, it has weird conditions but if there’s a double ledge like a concrete pillar with a gate on top you should be able to boost off it

[@Tinfoiltomcat]

You can do it still, also works off ropes

[@onikrux]

I was worried they might increase ground friction... the lack of friction is half the reason Apex feels so smooth. That being said I think somewhere between CB and Release model is a happy medium to be met. I hope someone at Embark gets in touch with you; if anyone could be the "movement ambassador" for us, it's Mokey.

[@TheAcaciaStrain1]

IMO it's because they are still trying to figure out their identity as a game. They are going for a r6siege aspect for strategy and sieging/defending, but at first glance people treat it like its COD. This was probably a step in the direction of making it more objective emphasized and slower paced (which i think is the right call). They're dipping into a few different types of games and what they created was pretty unique, but struggles to find it's place.

[@djethreii]

I really do hope that the devs find this video. This critique is so detailed and informative and simple to understand. And hopefully the convoluted slide mechanics be addressed properly and not be avoided bcs of hey we reset the fov that's why the movement feels slow bcs of animation due to low fov

[@DaRealBurnz]

I didn’t play CB1 but I did play CB2 and the Open Beta. Having to sprint to slide was definitely something I noticed in both, most particularly since they reset keybinds between each iteration and I had to change sprint back to toggle.

[@bellsgg]

i had my keybinds the way you mentioned so i didnt even notice this change in the first place. thanks for explaining it!

[@screwandwrenchrob4778]

Ive done some experimenting and I believe weather map conditions affect the kinetic coefficient of friction in a slide, it seems for example on monaco rainy I can slide about 10% longer on the same spot versus monaco non rainy. Which is honestly a detail I really like, I never played closed beta, but it looks like sliding was kinda crazy.

[@Koshmar-13]

This video explains so much. I was wondering why my slides were being consistent. Also a tip for other games with crouch slide, instead of trying to hit shift and Ctrl with your ring and pinky fingers, just have shift held with your pink and "roll" your pinky down to hit Ctrl as well. I'll probably switch to toggle sprint in this game now though.

[@AwareOCE]

Ahh this explains why I didnt notice any slide initiation changes, Im already used to using my pinky for Shift and kind of flattening it to also hold crouch from so much Apex movement

[@ApolloPS2]

Left control can be a difficult one for crouching. I use C which allows me to avoid sprint toggle which I hate. I only played the open beta so I'm a bit skewed, but I don't think the movement is slow how the game currently is. With the long ttks already I think making it faster would be pretty annoying. I love to use movement in games but I want it to balance with good aiming practices and initial positioning too, and rn I feel that the game strikes a great balance between those 3.

[@Crazyjosh2001]

I agree with your point about the fact that the slide not carrying momentum gets quite annoying. Especially when you have so much speed off of a jump pad or a zipline nowadays / in open beta. Although, I disagree that the slide should be how it was in the closed beta; there should be no increase in velocity when you slide as that would just result in everyone constantly supergliding around each other. Cool video, never saw what closed beta was like.

Having crouch on a toggle vs holding is superior I believe. Buffering a slide with your crouch key allows for other actions with that finger rather than having to continuously hold the key. A couple of presses easier on the figure than holding for slides.

[@tomrichter7979]

I only started playing after the release, but the closed beta movement looks amazing. Also the jump to slide situation is really annoying. Thanks for making this video!

This game is a ton of fun, but a lot of the movement feels so stiff. It's like the want movement but also don't. You can do cool things, but it ends up feeling more like jank than actual movement tech

[@RiceCubeTech]

That’s the best part about apex, despite a lot of movement nerfs over the years, the flow is still largely the same. You can wall jump over a ledge, climb back over superglide tap strafe superglide at a 180 degree angle, into a a bhop then lurch and PK someone from behind with no real stop in flow. You can chain movement almost indefinitely if you know what you’re doing until you deadslide or collide with an object too hard 😂

you can bhop out of jump pads too, idk if its from all surfaces or all pads but i certainly did and kept most of the momentum i had from the pad

[@usamabinmuzaffar692]

Hey Mokey, been watching your videos since I got into Apex and now I only play The Finals. I'd like to take a moment to give some perspective for the movement. The difference between this game's movement and Apex is that the movement in this game is completely server side with client side prediction that lerps you to the position you input. Compared to Apex, which is client authorati which is why you get that rubber banding effect when your connection goes bad. In a game like The Finals, you're technically inputting and watching your screen play out the key frames of an animation sent to you by the server. That's how the server sided destruction is also working. Compared to Apex where you can have tight movement and perfect control because your input is registered the moment you do it. This might not be exactly how it's done but this is a strong hunch because of me being a game developer myself. While I admit the movement was more fluid in the closed beta, it had severe input lag and was much difficult to control accurately. Would it have been nice to have more fluid movement? Yes, 100%. But given the technical reasons to make the movement more grounded, it still works pretty well in this kind of game where teamplay is more if a focus compared to solo plays. Just my two cents. I could be completely wrong cuz like this is a hunch I have based on my game dev background, and the information I got from the devs on discord. So please do take it with a grain of salt. PS. Making the game entirely server sided is no small achievement. Especially the physics if it all with the destruction and everything. I'm excited to see your video on the "secret movement tricks" :3

[@TheMisterBerry]

Open Beta, I'm quite positive - did not have this fluid sliding like you're depicting. It was definitely changed for the Open Beta, so there's a good chance that the devs were pretty confused when people were saying it was "slowed down" from the open beta. People have (correctly) pointed out that the FOV was automatically set to 100 instead of the new default 70, which does make it feel faster. But what you're showing here is in fact actually far faster, and definitely different. I did the closed beta also, but I don't quite remember sliding being this wild? It looks really fun, and I would like to see it with that old movement system back in.

[@operatordbird777]

gained a new sub for sure ^^ thanks a lot for the explanation, please drop a new video about the new movement changing back to OB there might be some interesting stuff to discover even more

[@joshuacollinge1633]

All you have to do to do shift and control at the same time without it being awkward is to drop the middle part of your pinky, you’re not gonna spam crouch when you’re trying to spring the only time you want to hit crouch while sprinting is to slide, as long as you don’t have a stiff or sticky control key it works very well and is non disruptive

[@21pandas71]

I like it like this, it makes the gunfights more fun

[@raypellicore9694]

The easier they make it to pull off ridiculous movements/maneuvers the less the game becomes about strategy, positioning, gunplay, tactics... which are IMO not only the most differentially positive aspects of the game, but also the ones that tend to measure skillsets on a more even playing field.

[@redandsoulles132]

If it's easy to pull off that stuff than everyone can do it which would mean just the speed of the game would change. It wouldn't take away skill it would make the game harder because people are harder to hit if they move crazy.

[@unded1827]

stupid take. You never played light or at least at a decent lvl. Light is a complete throw pick in comp and has no use whatsoever when playing against a meta build. Heavy and medium are better in every way and the bit of movement light had is now gone which enforces the meta even more. I was top 1k in the open beta and also played in the closed beta and I stopped playing light as heavy just does everything but 10x better. Also the only viable weapon for light is now the shotgun which most people consider the worst as your consistency has to be out of this world. The lh1 was insane until they nerfed it on the release.

CBT was very floaty and felt different, but in OBT they made things slower and changed behaviors.

I played all the betas and since launch, and am very much a movement gamer. You're quite right about the sliding controls being weird, not sure why that was changed and I feel like thats a just negative making it hard to land into a slide. But your complaint about slightly lower slide momentum falls short of your point about wanting more control. The way it worked before, giving that little momentum boost meant that you were much more likely to slide right off of rooftops by accident - because it you often *couldnt* cancel slide before it was already too late to stay on the roof, because you immediately got a level of momentum you couldnt negate with air control or friction. It was also much harder to slide into roof windows because you'd always be going fast enough to just slide straight to the other side of the frame. So in that regard, you've got more control now and that feels pretty good. But I get how good it feels to get speed. I feel like they could remedy that easily by just making slide speed cumulative.

[@BeanMann]

Idk how anyone can complain this game is too slow. It’s the fastest shooter I ever played. I wish it was slowed down. Ironically my biggest complaint is swapping feels so clunky so the super fast movement makes it worse. It feels so bad to switch from melee to health beam back to melee then grenade etc.

[@unded1827]

welp you have no idea. Light was sht in the open beta and was a throw pick, now its even worse and completely unusable as its movement feels unsatisfying and the mobility took a hard nerf.

[@Samuri5hit84]

My main complaint with the swapping would be having an easy way back to your weapon. In most games you just flick the mouse wheel or triangle/Y and your weapon comes right back out. That being said I don't consider this as game ruining because swapping through quick bars is kind of a skill issue. People who play Fortnite will be the first master of the quick bar, Apex players will be the first for movement. It's just how it is.

You shouldn't get a speed boost from sliding, friction doesn't work that way. It's cool to change the toggle stuff back in my opinion but you shouldn't be able to propel yourself forward if you aren't moving quickly to begin with. That boost from the CB looked ridiculous, like an evasive dash.

do you not like fun my guy?

[@unded1827]

@@omegaPhix it did change a LOT, and yall should try playing light in high ranks then talk about it again. The closed beta was heavens with all the movement and now light just completely got crushed

[@WhiteVipor]

@@lamptowel I have fun when I don’t have to button mash to slide every 2 seconds to get the advantage, so idk what your comment means

[@lamptowel]

​@@WhiteVipor ok youre playing on roller lol? thats on you, if youre playing on pc you should accept the pitfalls of your input (consider playing a game with broken aim assist so you dont have to press any buttons! like cod!) this game will never bring in the large casual cod player crowd (which is what i suspect you are), so why try and cater to them instead of the ones that will actually continue playing the game, like aimers and people that like movement

In the end, games can only try to mimic Titanfall’s movement and fail with degrees of hilarity.

If you put crouch on a mouse button, you can do both hold crouch and hold sprint

[@Ghosty313]

I knew there was something different about the movement!! Although the movement has been changed I still am having so much fun playing this game. Having a game to play that's similar yet so different from Apex is really fulfilling. I'm curious to see what changes or tweaks they'll do with the movement in the future and I hope this game can keep thriving and become something huge!

[@michaaugustyn5414]

I only played the open beta, and even than i felt how scuffy the movement was compared to how Mokey described it back in march

[@lmp8156]

Mokey, movement and the FINALS in one video… say less, I’m in!

[@pitabreado]

Wow this explains a lot, thanks.

[@thenodecamp]

I've always played with sprint hold. Most games for sliding added a short delay to press ctrl slide from shift. Having toggle for aim or sprint or crouch just always felt super weird for me.

[@TTVJFA48]

What about Auto run? Would u still have to toggle sprint on?

[@starbi]

Velocity-wise movement was nerfed but with each beta the game still played more fluidly because of the improvements to vaults, animations and input lag. I think I am fine with having no slide boost but less friction and a fix to the landing slide would be cool.

[@phantovia]

Even since beta personally i've always had sprint on toggle but that is a lot of key presses for movement.

[@mahleeky]

I like the change. It was needed

[@elijahbowers1]

This is hilarious because my sprint toggle and crouch hold were already set to those options so I had no idea others were even missing out. I was kinda impressed some of the movement felt similar to apex and TF now I know it might be purely contextual and I'm grateful I was already there. Hopefully they don't nerf movement even with those settings on.

[@nerdherder9340]

I already run hold crouch/toggle sprint and i think that it explains why sometimes i get thrown off zips and other times barely get any momentum, but i still dont get why sometimes you get SO much momentum. Id guess somewhere around 1/100 times that i come off a zip in a sprint state it fuckin LAUNCHES me like 3-4 times the normal zip launch

[@soap6264]

when i played the open beta i was really sad that the movement was so much slower then the videos i'd seen

[@dhrida5518]

It makes sense since we use auto-sprint in Apex Legends it would be preferred to have it on all the time.
