I really can understand why but also don’t understand why.
You give us the mechanic to sprint. Then you give us the mechanic too boost. Then we put these two together, find a newer ‘Mechanic’ (Im not calling it a glitch or bug, it’s a mechanic, just like crouch jumping) Then you remove it?
Really? I almost never see play of Boost Sliding in this game, and if i do, its extremely rare to even get a benefit off doing it, the best benefit to doing so is probably getting to a power weapon or strong hold first. This just seems like people couldn’t or wouldn’t learn how to do it, so you remove it. Imagine if they removed crouch jumping because you could reach places others couldn’t.
Not only does this remove potential for competitive play, but custom games suffer as well, I could never imagine a slider map to be released now.
Don’t give us the tools to make something then break it when you don’t like what we’ve made.
Note: Unless you actually have used this mechanic, seen play of it or actually know what it is, please don’t comment saying ‘It’s exploiting the game, it’s unfair, Unbalanced’
Just, Don’t.
It’s so sad that it’s gone. I hope they consider bringing it back.
I know, it would be like removing BXR from H2… WHY!!!

We can only hope. But we’ll probably see play of infection before we see slide boosting coming back.
It makes sense to remove it from matchmaking because of how it affects map design. I’m sure you’ve seen the videos of people flying half-way across maps in a second because of the exploit. They could allow it in custom games though, I don’t see why not. Maybe add a toggle for it on the custom games settings. That way a slider map can be released for some sick jumps.

Okay, now i kind of see why it needed to go as infection with slide boosting swords and increased speeds would be terrifying, and i would rather run around as fast as possible rather than try to last against super sped up spartans. But I’m still hoping it returns as it was extremely fun to do and it made for an amazing game of highrise where two people on opposite teams collided mid map trying to speed cap the flag and just go flying off perpendicular to each other.

To be honest… I never thought of it that way… BUT… we have no word on when or if infection is even to be released, until then i dont see how it has unfair play. And yes i agree with the ctf LOL that’d make a good clip
Not a very smart move on their part. Seems like they want to cater to read skill-less COD fans.
It’s obviously not a glitch. It’s just what happens when you combine some of the mechanics together.

Exactly my thoughts

Coming back in the February update as a legendary mythic armor mod req.

Sprint + Slide and Sprint + Thrust + Slide are not glitches. However, Sprint + Thrust + Slide on a slope where you basically super bounce (or fastfall off a ledge) was a glitch. There was a miscalculation in their coding that caused it, and it had some negative effects to gameplay. While they didn’t necessarily need to remove it completely, most will tell you that it’s good it’s gone for both player accessibility and balance reasons.

How is it a glitch? It makes logical sense both in terms of how the mechanics function and in a “real life” sense.
If you strapped a ton of metal armour on with jets attached to the back and sprinted and then slammed and slide yourself down a ramp ending with a jump, you’d launch forward.
I would love for your to point out a high level H5 player who truly understands this game who thinks slide boosts did not deepen the meta of H5.

I think it’s more like flag bouncing in H2 than BXR. Flag bouncing was removed. Nothing different about this.

I don’t see how it can be a ‘Glitch’, it works the the normal slide just with extra distance, have you ever gone to custom games and put your slide to the max? It is literally that, just in game. People just found a way to replicate it without the use of custom game modifications. I still will see this as a mechanic and not a glitch.

Didn’t deepen it. It was an easy glitch to use. I bet you the real reason why it was removed was probably due to people using this glitch to get out of Breakout maps or to areas in breakout maps that players should not be. It’s the minority who ruin it for the majority.

Flag bouncing was different though, that got more complaints then it did with actually exploiting the game. I remember seeing posts of people just wanting the announcers voice to go away and they’d be fine with it, constantly hearing flag dropped, team mate has the flag got to you.

See, this i agree with. But instead of removing something like this out of the game, why not just make out of bound walls? Is that seriously that hard to create?
Seems lazy

Why is it different? It’s the same concept. For flag bouncing all you did was use the game mechanics in game to exploit a feature that was not supposed to happen. Just like slide boost. It made something get somewhere faster, which was not the intent.
