- Robust stamina system that factors in the weight of your gear, speed of movement, steepness of terrain, weather, wounds, and more. The pacing of combat becomes a lot more authentic when people can no longer endlessly sprint around the map and exploit their superhuman endurance.

Something that I have been interested in for a while now is the "robust stamina system".

I was wondering if any more light could be shed on it?

Basically, what I want to know is: will you become "tired" (breathing heavily in ArmA) from jogging aswell? It seems kind of silly that you can jog for 10km and have no side effects, you are fine and dandy.

Now, if you do in fact get tired from jogging, there may be a problem ..

Currently, ArmA has 2 basic movement speeds: fast and slow. You are either jogging or walking slowly. There isn't really anything in between.

I propose a new speed, something that would only be necessary if the stamina system punished continual jogging.

A "marching" speed, slower than jogging, but faster than the "combat glide" or the "lazy Sunday" walk that your avatar does when the weapon is lowered.

I noticed that the movement of "jog" when you weapon is lowered is the same as the "jog" when the weapon is raised. Replacing this movement with a new animation of a brisk walk, basically a faster version of the "weapon slung, walking" animation would give the player a movement speed that wouldn't tire them out, but it would also move them around at a little bit faster of a pace.



I don't know if you guys have already done this .. not much info, but it is just something that I've been interested about in ACE.
