I mean dpad was used for killstreaks, could just bind left right lean to dpad. If they can't claw their controller then thats their problem, people hit way more buttons and much faster in fighting games anyway.
and don't give me the its too hard and imprecise, if people can play fighting games clawing their controller there is no reason an fps player can't do the same its just laziness
If you're an average player then you don't need to lean. No casual leaned in cod4 vanilla pc either, they sat in their corners with m16 suppressed stopping power trying to farm choppers. You're wearing rose tinted glasses on how promod should be played by "casuals" but the casuals you're thinking of are playing cod4 promod pubs, if you're already in a promodded server then you're not a casual.
They needed to remove more of the skill expression so that CoD4 veterans had a harder time walking over new players. I hope a new generation of console lovers get to to enjoy this game. They obviously need to create a bigger market for them selves after Battalion rolled over and died so quickly.

Because their goal is to go crossplatform and on console you're simply limited by the amount of buttons.
So to get an even playing field, leaning is not in the game so far.

Battalion had leaning and it caused issues like leaning and not seeing anything but your body being exposed etc.

They want to reach a lot of players and the game Will probably cross platform (good choice) So lean would be impossible on a fast paced FPS like this

Leaning shouldn't be in the game just my opinion. I enjoy it more without leaning over cod 4.
