Make Spacebar "Tuck" Instead of "Jump."

[unskrewpulous]

Hear me out....

Get rid of Jump altogether. Make double-tap-{w.a.s.d.] a "vault" maneuver or something so we can still bridge gaps. And make spacebar "Tuck" or rather "Brace for impact".
Why is the largest button on the keyboard used to perform something rarely seen in the real world? People occasionally vault over things, sure, but they don't hop around like the lunatics you see online. Get rid of it. It will be fine...

Now, imagine that you're in a raid and taking enemy fire. You have no idea where it's coming from. Your armor is keeping your vitals safe but your arms are getting shredded. You have no choice. You have to run! ...Wouldn't it be great if you could also smack the space bar to tuck your arms in close to your body as you ran away, preventing you from shooting but allowing you a 10-20% damage reduction to your limbs!? It would be awesome!

[For additional fun: Tap the spacebar repeatedly to activate an old-school roadie-run. Where you run slightly hunched over, gaining a slight speed boost at the cost of controllability and visual fidelity, and you also scream like a total pussy the whole way.]

 

I fuckin love this game.

i love this idea. Jumping seems so silly in a realistic game.
