Instead of speed bursts, I would prefer the ability to perform a dive.

You could use this to perform really awesome escapes from grenade, mortar, and rocket explosions. (This would make it harder for Bazooka/Panzer whores to get their cheap kills.)

The only catch would be that you would have to holster or throw down your weapon (this would be not only for realism but also to prevent people from abusing it under regular conditions like doing cheesy Max Payne bullet dodges WHILE shooting..)
