Fans are keen on arguing about what they are going to find in the third-person shooter hack-and-slash game before the official release. One of the biggest arguments is that the sequel takes away a tiny but significant mechanism from the original game.

Many have theories as to why the studio made this decision. As per them, they removed the mechanic to balance it out and to prevent scenarios where having high mobility would be an issue, as was seen inDarktide.

Another theory is that the studio did not achieve the desired combat design. That is, if marines needed to run faster, all enemies would have to run faster as well. This might have been done during the development of the approach and then discarded for some reason or another.

While many theories have been put forward, the consensus among fans is that this decision was made for reasons of balance and wanting to show off a real space marine run.

This appears to be the right move, at least for now, as increasing the speed of the already quite fast marines may make the title overly fast and perhaps not fun to play overall.
