Boost key-from EA BF2 Forums

[dmonkey]

ive been meaning to post this for ages but kept forgetting. alot of ppl seem to think the boost key has no function. what the boost actually does is gets you moving again on a steep slope. try driving an apc up a steep hill on fushe pass and stop it half way up. without rolling back a bit to get to a faltter part you cant get moving forward again until you press the boost key.

Credits go to JammaSugden, I haven't tested this yet though.

Uhh it's never done anything for me.

[dmonkey]

I tested it and it seemed to work, but it might just be the placebo effect. I have to look into this a bit more.

I will double check this tonight.

[Wranger4400]

Really? I've never noticed.

[imported_Spuddy]

So it does actually do something, will have to give it a try.

is the boost key shift?

[NoSoup4You]

Yes, left shift for ground vehicles.

[toXicRabbit]

what about afterburners?

[GlobalFear]

The boost key is linked to the sprint code. Sorta like the afterburners on jets.
I've modified the vehicles and tested it myself.

Guys, I'm sorry, if you check the thread again the boost key myth has been debunked as BS.

[HABO3]

yup that's what it's for
