Running Speed calculations?

[The_Man 393]

I did some rough testing earlier today. Correct me if I'm wrong but

The survivor can run 350 meters per minute. This means on average they run at 21 kmph?

That seems pretty quick for full gear! However, any slower and travelling in the current map would be depressing.

Any weight system implemented would have to have this speed as the bare minimum in my opinion!

*This was done on flat ground at the fastest running setting*

you run at like 10 kmph

edit: was thinking mph. nvm

I'm quite sure I've read that Bohemia acknowledged that your character runs faster that is realistic and that number is 22 km/hr.

Hmm. I did some tests and I ran (at full speed) 88 meters in 15 seconds. Since the speed doesn't vary at all:

88 x 4 = 352 meters per minute

352 x 60 = 21120 meters per hour

21120m = 21.120 kilometers per hour

22 sounds right since I wasn't being too careful with start and stop times.

My testing came up with about 300m per min. That was over semi rough terrain too,

It's supposed to be depressing. That way people will want to work harder to get vehicles.

I was reading a topic on how to read a map and try had travel time on there. They said you could cover 100m in 20 seconds. So you can cover 1km in 2 minutes. Don't know if that's legit.

Lol 300?

The map is 225 squared. That's 15 km on a side. Youd warp across the map in No time. Call again.

All fps are like this because other wise players feel the game is too slow.

He said 300 meters!

Yes I understand. Any slower and I'd lose my mind! I think this might be useful to some hardcore mappers out there though! I like to know exactly when I will arrive :)
