 Why is the speed while backing up the same as moving forward? I have kited so many heavies and knife/shotgun weilding scouts because when I backpeddle I put significant space between us, while I am able to shoot them. Perhaps a 10-20% decrease in speed while backpeddling would help. Thoughts?

 I concur. I wonder why it is set the same as frontal movement. In the SDE it's just a simple 1.x modifier that they could change for any suit.

 Agreed. This is one of the things that hinders scouts and all other CQC weapon users. Should be at least a 20-30% speed penalty for backpedaling. If you are gonna run from a Nova Knife scout, you should have to about-face and RUN.

 It's called Static Data Export that CCP uses to show the data that is directly tied to the game. Think of it as a snapshot of the actual data. It even gives data points on things that you don't see in the game such as actual damage bonus to shield and armor, stamina drain between normal sprinting and jumping while sprinting.

 I agree that the backpedal speed should be equal to the strafing speed.

 It's already reduced. Stand complwtely still then go straight back. you'll see what i mean. If your moving forward then suddenly jerk back you will move the same speed. which is good. If you start to go backwards from a motionless position you will move slow.

 If we want to be realistic, walking backwards is a real pain. Moving side to side still allows for peripheral vision, while moving backwards does not allow for any vision aid, unless you turn your head, in which case you cannot shoot the person coming at you. So, in order to find that median between fun and real, I think a 10%-20% loss of speed while backpeddling is a good thing. I know people who love to kite will hate this idea, but far too often it hinders gameplay and gives advantages to long range weapons, when they already have plenty.

 CCP must have thought about this for some time. The proof is in the warbarge. Backpetaling is slow as hell, but forward and strafing is quick. Movement speed on the barge is also dictated by speed of favorited suit, even takes kincats into consideration.

 Lateral is movement is nowhere near as disorienting as backwards movement, so why should the lateral movement penalty be higher or equal to backwards movement?

You can walk backwards almost as quickly as you can walk backwards. The human body was made primarily to move forward, and walking backwards uses the same muscles in a similar way. Walking sideways does not. Not to mention walking backwards already has a penalty: it's disorienting as is.
 
 Please explain to me why walking sideways should be 28.5% faster than walking backwards, when walking forwards is only 11% faster than walking backwards. Go ahead, I'm listening.

 Because the limiting factors are different for each direction.
 
 You do not use the same exact muscles, nor in the same order to move in any direction. There are common muscles/groups common to each form of locomotion but they are not doing the same amount of work nor appear in the same sequence to say 'uses the same muscles in similar way' is just wrong.
 
 Structure: Your legs and feet are designed to direct as much of the force generated by your muscles completely downwards synchronously when moving forward. When walking backwards your heel has a tendency to move downward and planting itself drastically reducing the downwards force. Also, because of the way you feet are design can't balance yourself as well.
 
 On that alone you will never be able to move as fast as you backwards as you do forwards, even if you were able to rotate your head 180 degrees.
 
 Those factors don't have much bearing on moving sideways, which again uses different muscles, but that only limits how much force is available to be applied. The only limiting factor here is stride.

 I'm not saying walking backwards should be as fast as it is, but it shouldn't be anywhere near that slow.

 How Mutch faster do you run forward then backwards?
 
 Yeah I know that you can sprint forward but not backwards but you can't aim and sprint in dust but in RL you can.
 
 
 Lol hate RL examples in games =ƒÿ¥
 
 Any way +1 on this

 Apparently none of you have ever actually gotten up to a good backwards run. NO, you cannot run at a SPRINT speed backwards in RL, but you also can't run at a FORWARD sprint speed carrying 90 pounds worth of kit either. I say leave it the same either way, because it isn't really doing anything either way.
 
 Also, when you shoot in RL and in game... you slow down to aim better... so your argument there is a tad invalid.

 How many in this post that support reduced speed when back pedalling are scouts?

 Well if we are to use anatomy with a mix of psychology you cannot run as fast backwards as you can run forward since your brain is saying hey your going to get us killed!! Not only that but you cannot adjust your direction so as you move backwards you are also NNOT MOVING straight. As for strafing you can move side to side all you want but to change directions you have to come to a complete stop this is just because you have to change the direction of all that energy.

 First and foremost ccp doesn't need to nerf movement we have gone full circle in 2 years. Started with good movement to **** and back to good again.
 
 There is absolutely no reason for back peddle to change. The first week in 1.8 my scout toon with shotgun had a 10kdr for the week just running at people with a shotgun.
 
 If you need this nerf to get kills you are a trashy scout in the first place. I play a scout 95% of the time and have no issue here. Get Good.

I have kited so many heavies and knife/shotgun weilding scouts because when I backpeddle I put significant space between us, while I am able to shoot them. Perhaps a 10-20% decrease in speed while backpeddling would help. Thoughts? You're lying.
 You're a scout that's mad you can't knife people backpeddaling.

 We need this change.
 
 Although we're (somewhat) rid of this frustration because it's blanketed by quite a few others(which isn't a bad thing)this is still immersion breaking, and balance breaking.
 
 Although your % may be harsh.
 
 Strafe is currently 95%, so backpedal should start at 95%, then if it's still a problem go to 90%.

 Albeit it's a 3rd person shooter, you don't dance your laughing ass through bullets by breaking the server. You run in a circle as the enemy uses travel time weaponry :P

No one should be able to jump like the scouts do unless they are carrying only nova knives.

 This is not a negotiation. You should not be able to back peddle so quick.
 
 Besides, how else are we supposed to get over the **** terrain!

 Please, I'll even give up the cloak for this feature.
 
 I have posted this before but the only three things the scouts needed was
 
 1. Fix stun lock on hit
 2. Make backpedal slower
 3. Fix shotgun hit detection
 
 No cloak was needed IMO.

 I think armor plates should have the same penalty for jumping AND strafing as movement. But since I wear none I don't think my jumping should be modified, I am extremely easy to kill because I sacrifice hitpoints for speed.

 I find this disproportionately affects NKers, as shotguners can still be effecitve 10m out, while we become immediately irrelevant at 3 m.
 
 At one point, I kept slashing someone who looked to be immediately in front of me while he backpedaled and never scored a hit.
 
 By all rights, I should have been able to get him before he got me.
