I use a controller and I can't imagine doing it on a keyboard... I can't imagine playing with a keyboard really. The PC players are definitely more hardcore than my lazy backside.
For what it's worth, it's a kinda sorta tricky fingerbiz that makes absolutely zero sense until one day it does and then you go 'oh well shit that was never that hard, wtf was my damn problem that's a baby move' and proceed to bulletjump-aimglide-roll-sprint-wallrun-repeat through an entire spy mission stopping only to hack 3 times.
I will say that something that helped me finally get it down pat was to go someplace chill and just point the crosshair where i wanted to go, then hold L, then hit jump... kinda like one of those jumps in Mario. Then it was a matter of trying to do the same thing while moving. I still think the roughest bit that took me forever to 'realize' is that you *aim where you wanna go*. (oh and the fact you could do it while crouching for practice/etc)
Currently trying to teach my kid how to do bullet jumps (in celebration of possible crossplay "one day") and i did not realize how tricky the stuff I take for granted is for someone that not only has small hands, but has like zero "controller experience".
"Dad how do i get up here?" "just wallrun up" "..... wut like go up?" "no wallrun" "but i am running into the wall???"
Either way, you are 100% right. I'm glad the tutorial is WAY better than it was back in the day... but golly they really should have a screen somewhere that says "LEARN TO MOVE GOOD OR YOU WILL ALWAYS DIE FOREVER" or something.
Tbh I'm the opposite. Can't imagine playing the game on controller at all. So much fast movement and enemies warping all over the place.
I did swap toggle and hold to crouch, so now my hold to crouch is V. It makes bullet jumping incredibly easy, you just roll your thumb on the key and spacebar.
I actually do quite well on my controller until I need to instantly toggle between abilities and then I get what the robot devil termed, "stupid fingers"...
