This is not an anti sprint topic I don’t really care at this point and I don’t see it changing. However a few on here seems to have the idea that Halo 4+ 5 copied Halo Reach sprint.
In Halo reach sprint was an optional ability that had limited use per time and had to recharge and the majority of players used the jetpack from my experience. This meant while the maps were a little bigger they were still pretty decently sized in terms of scaling.
Halo 4+5 has unlimited sprint that is part of the core gameplay now meaning that the maps have been scaled up because you could technically run forever.
As I said this isn’t a whole argument about sprint or anything like that it’s simply me informing the difference between the games.
Actually maps haven’t been scaled up all that much. The btb maps are the same size if not a bit smaller. War zone maps are bigger because it’s so many players plus AIs. Map size and sprint aren’t related no matter how much some seem to think. Valhalla and Ragnarok were exactly the same maps one no sprint and one players could sprint. They played exactly the same. Same with for the Pit and Pitfall.

I will test this now, base game settings time how long it takes to walk from one side of Valhalla and ragnarock
Halo Reach’s Sprint was very limited. It only lasted a little while and was only an option. Not every player had it.
Halo 4 has sprint by default. Meaning every player had it. In Halo 4 the BM was actually the same as Halo 3, but adding an extra burst of speed to each player affected spawn times, objective games, and general combat. Maps like Valhalla and The Pit were basically straight ports and the same size as they were in Halo 3. But that would mean players could get back to power points quicker after death, which like I said, messed with gametypes and objectives.
Halo 5 is unlimited, it gets an added melee attack attached to it and is by default. It would still affect small maps with objectives, spawn times and again, general combat. I think because of the issues with Halo 4 that is why we see sprint being unlimited and maps being larger.

Sigh,
Map designers were interviewed and it was stated maps have grown to compensate sprint speed.
If maps haven’t increased in size, then sprint speed is the “old walking speed”. Haven the smallest at launch Halo 4 map was in time, with mobility, roughly the same as Halo 3’s Guardian. That is, the time it took to cross both maps.
Ragnarok is a BTB map and follows other design philosophies, Pitfall was never a small map to begin with.
Yes, both maps played very differently to their originals
If time is a measurment used to manage map size, then speed is the deciding factor of the distance you need to travel. Thus, higher speeds but the same times, then distance increase.
