    Improve the sprint feature!!! Improve the sprint feature!!! Improve the sprint featur

    Ubisoft,

    Could you please consider improving the sprint feature in The Division? I have a suggestion that may or may not improve but it is a suggestion to what I believe is an issue. I did manage to put in 26 hours in on the closed beta and it was amazing, except for the sprinting in my honest opinion.

    I am using the Ps4 platform and as you know, to sprint using the Ps4 controller you have to HOLD DOWN L3 and move in whatever direction you need. This is a painstaking process considering there are not automobiles (which I like). You physically have to press AND hold down L3 stick for the duration of running! Running long distances, which is necessary in the game, can cause a lot of fatigue don't you agree?

    Solution:

    Make the L3 button clickable! You click it once and you're in run mode and wherever direction you move to the run/sprint mode is activated. Click it again to stay in walk mode!

    I believe Xbox is the same.

    Please Ubisoft, The Division Game look into this! Maybe even poll the question, I am doing so on the forum.

    Thank you,

    Division Agent

    I played PS4 and there was an option for both. I know because my thumb would have been crying if I had to hold it down to sprint. Personally, I'd like an option to move it to another button because my thumbs don't really like the one-push that much either.

    yeah, i'm not a huge fan of click l3 to run either. if sh*t gets hectic it can get really annoying (click l3 again by accident or whatever and you'll stop). at least the option to reassign stuff would be nice

    edit: i think you can customize the controller button assignments on the ps4. nevertheless..imo, it would be easier to give us an option to do that ingame.

    I thought I tried lookling for an auto-run option on the XB1 but sure I couldn't see one. Will look again during the open beta.

    Had to vote no, it's already an option. Xbox had an option to either click and hold the left stick button or toggle by clicking the left stick. It works until you stop running, I liked the way it worked. Push forward on the left stick, click it once to run, then click again to walk/jog or just let off and it would go back to walk/jog.

    Yeah IDK what OP is talking about, played the closed beta on XBO and to sprint you clicked left thumb stick in once and just held the left stick forward like normal to continue sprinting.
