I've experienced this too. I'm thinking it has to do with latency more than anything. A little lag goes a long way in killing your ability to swoop anywhere. It'd also seem that pressing it too fast after you've just come out of another swoop hurts too.

Joe, I'm pretty sure it's not a bug. It happened to me too...till I learned that it's not like UT, and the double-tap isn't a particularly sensitive thing. Now that I deliberately relax when I hit it, it works every time. I bet that is what most people's problem is.

Then maybe the sensitivity should be altered in 1.2.1, since most people tap fast.

I wish you could just press one button to swoop, or set it to where you could have it that way.

What usually happens is, if your moving in a direction already, like forward.. then you double tap.. your last movement counts as your THIRD tap, thus swoop doesn't happen or you swoop for a split second.
Secondly, if your fps are really low, along with your ping. The information sending out will be lagged, so all you have to do is SLOW DOWN your taps.
