Disable sprinting while holding the Barrett m99 (50cal sniper rifle)
Having this mechanic would make it less of a run&gun type weapon, where you can’t just turn a corner real quick and get an insta-kill from a foot away. Also it’s a pretty heavy gun so being able to run around with it in your hands would be pretty difficult irl.
If it’s on your back you should still be able to run, but making it so you can’t sprint while holding it would help balance the gun.

bingusThis will def be a great nerf for the 50 cal. A sniper is supposed to be used at long range with limited mobility. This would nerf close range combat ability for sure

Freyapersonally, I think a reduced sprint speed would be better than disabling sprinting altogether.
Sprinting does encourage people to lower their weapons when they move, if you remove it completely anyone using a 50cal will be encouraged to keep the gun up and head height all the time, even walking around corners where others might have their guns down to sprint. -

ToshiZ64I'd rather reduce sprinting speed to a crawl on certain guns than disable sprinting entirely. Walk speed should be the same, sprint speed should be negligible. Same for the M249.
