Unlimited Sprint

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!

Preparations

• Do you know where your game directory is? It’s the folder with BF2142.exe and your mods — by default, usually at C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield 2142.

• If you want the changes for vanilla BF2142, edit the file in \mods\bf2142. For a specific mod, edit the file in that mod’s folder instead.

• You’ll be editing the \mods\...\Objects\Soldiers_server.zip file, so it’s smart to make a backup first — just copy the file and add something like _o to the filename. []

Procedures

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

2

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

3

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.

4

Save your changes.

If you’re unable to save your changes, try dragging the .zip file to your Desktop, make your edits there, and then drag it back when you’re done.

5

Don’t forget to make the same changes to Soldiers_bp1_server.zip if you plan to play on Northern Strike maps.

Remarks

• Revert your changes before joining Reclamation or any multiplayer servers, unless the server explicitly allows or uses this mod.

• If you host a server with this tweak, players who join will also need to make this change.

• To uninstall the fix, simply undo the changes you made.
