Unlimited Sprint Tweak

If you’re getting used to the new Battlefield’s play style, you might find BF2142’s limited sprint a bit frustrating. Unlimited sprint is really just about convenience — some players see no reason not to have it. So, let’s mod BF2142 to give ourselves unlimited sprint too!

Before we start ...

• You’ll be editing files in mods/<MOD>/Objects/Soldiers_server.zip, so it’s a good idea to make a backup of the .zip file first — just add a suffix like _bak or _o to the filename of the clone. []

• If you want this change to affect vanilla BF2142, make your edits in the mods/bf2142 folder. Otherwise, edit the files in the mods/<MOD> folder for your chosen mod.

Here we go ...

1. Inside Soldiers_server.zip, open the EU or PAC folder and edit the .tweak files. For example, to modify the EU heavy armor soldier, open us/US_HEAVY_SOLDIER.tweak with a text editor and make your changes like this:

ObjectTemplate.SprintRecoverTime 1
ObjectTemplate.SprintDissipationTime 100
ObjectTemplate.SprintLimit 0.1
ObjectTemplate.SprintLossAtJump 0.10

1. Increase SprintDissipationTime to give yourself a bigger buffer before sprint runs out, and lower SprintRecoverTime so sprint refills quicker.

2. You can also adjust SprintLimit and SprintLossAtJump if you want, but the first two settings are usually enough. SprintLimit sets the minimum sprint bar needed before you can sprint again, while SprintLossAtJump controls how much sprint bar you lose when you jump.

3. Save your changes.

Keep in mind ...

• If you want to play with friends over LAN, everyone needs to have the same modification.

• If you plan to join a server without this mod, just switch back to your original Soldiers_server.zip file.
