Dude… They put the cod zoom, the small radar, a slower sprint, the delay when you start sprinting, the mechanic of when you get shot you literally walk like a wounded man and maps with too much corners for people like you to be able to get closer to their preys without being noticed to instantly put your scope (because when you press the left swich a bit it instantly puts the scope and stop sprinting) with the smart scope for make your kills assured for preventing your prey to escape and even if your preys escapes to prevent them to recharge their shields for you to be able to kill them just on the state you left them, for you to stop blaming on sprint of your weaknesses!!! and well … man… -Yoink- happens… the are some cases where you most not blame on anything because sometimes its impossible to do a thing about it… so… I’ll give you this advice… dont rage on stupid things like videogames because you may contract liver cancer because of raging too much and less if you are a casual gamer, even if you are a pro that have a team and compete professionally its dumb to rage on that; so even if you keep thinking that sprint is undefendable, imagine if the game would have stayed as Halo 3 without sprint, it would be so boring to just going around with that slow speed and it would be still slow for a new gen game even if they have increased the base speed, so also imagine if you were able to go at the speed of sprint without putting your gun downsights, I think you would be more angered because that would give too much advantage to your prey; and even if its true that its an illusion, I prefer to keep sprint because it is something more on the game that you will have to learn to use and master. BUT !!! I’m completely agree with you on they to give you what you want, a classic playlist for the classic pros and a frikin old school level number, for they to change the useless radar to the way it was because I`m definitely sure that they maked that decision because of people like you that loved the balanced multiplayer of halo 3 to return and for the noobs to get easy kills with the assault rifle because its proved that the noobs rule the world and they are the majority, the successfullness of COD is the prove, so Im totally agree with you to put that stuff into the game on a new update for them to give all of us what we want because the anti sprint community is affecting the sprint community on the frikin radar, so well… I’ll tell you these 343, bet on the all time halo fans, not the new comers, because they are all out there and you know that making these happen and advertising it will make them return; if you want new comers you must put that buggy game called The Master Chief Collection for free because it was a total dissapointment on all the halo fans, and for the new comers to be aware of the stories and for them to buy the next games, so, I’ll suggest to put the upcoming Remastered Halo 3 on the Master Chief Collection also for free(I know that you can do this if you can spent millions of dollars on championships that nobody cares too much about and also because youre getting pretty rich with the req system), and with that a Halo 5 playlist without sprint with an increased base speed and without spartan abilities to bring back those hardcore Halo 3 fans that are on darkness right now and to clean the mud on the Halo franchise that you have created. So I have too much ideas to say but I´ll post them on my next post called “HOW TO SAVE” HALO so… wait for it because I´ll talk about the campaign and the upcoming multiplayers and the lack of badass Elites on both campaign and multiplayer
Very hard to read through your post OP, might want to split thing up into paragraphs in future. At that though we already have a quite a few active topics talking about sprint, we don’t really need any more right now.
