I know it seems like a old topic beat to death but it really baffles me why so many people see this as a improvement to gameplay in Halo MP, its all about MP excluding Halo Campaigns. Please give me valid arguments and keep advanced movement beeing a healthy addition to the Halo franchise after you read or watched the videos i posted.
H4 and H5 were not capable of holding the playerbase in MP a view months after release and this was in my opinion the huge changes which came along with advanced movement this really bothers and makes me worried about the success of H:I and the relevance of Halo as a franchise and here is why.
Almost every advanced movement addition is animation locked which doesnt speed up gameplay .no it actually dumps it down compared to classic Halo…you can’t shoot while doing it and turns in case of sprinting are restricted. *watch the first video
It seems most sprint defenders dont recognize this at all and how much impact it has on balancing maps and can cause serious issues for a good map design or leads to a unnecessary complexity.**
Now in case of H:I and open world
H2/H3 were actually equal or even faster compared to H5 **shown in the 2nd video timestamp 5:20
In H:I i would rather kill myself exploring it by foot with or without sprint and specially how it was shown in the demo without vehicles.
the other argument of not beeing a modern fps or even say it wouldnt be successfull without it is simply wrong.
CS Series never had it
UT never had it
DOOM did a great job
Crossfire (fun fact according playercount its the most played fps worldwide)
“im not sure about Overwatch and Fortnite and how it actually affects gameplay and map design”
*short 90s video compares advanced movement between H2 and H5
*Enhanced Mobility is a Lie in 90 Seconds - YouTube
**a more in depth video which showcases the problems come a long with advaned movement in terms of balancing and map design
**Explaining Sprint - Clutchism - YouTube
Thread is already too long but i hope some new players or even older fans now see why we are uppset about H:I and desperatly want a new Halo despite improved graphics/animations and crisp gunplay we really want to enjoy dedicated servers and not the p2p system we have with MCC.
Edit:Btw english isnt my first language if something is wrong or hard to understand let me now
