Well, anyone that has been on these forums have known that sprint has been a widely debated topic recently. I am split on the issue, to be honest, as both sides raise good points. There seems to be no majority in this debate either, it looks like its a 50/50 issue. It’s not like 343 can cater to one group either, they need to meet in the middle and make both sides happy. The way I look at it, they have 2 options.
Option 1: They can increase the player speed and get rid of sprint. The maps that are built for sprint will still work just fine. One of the cons would be that now players are too fast, which might be a problem for some people.
Option 2: They can make it so you “run and gun”. While you’re running, you can still shoot but with decreased accuracy, so that way if your enemy is running, you can chase him down and take him out.
If I were in charge I would go with option 2, seeing that it is more logical and could work in terms of gameplay. Sprinting seems to be nerfed already though, since your shields can’t recharge while running. They could nerf it even more and make it so that you can only sprint in short “bursts”, which would work well in my opinion. So which option would you go with, 1 or 2? Or do you have something else in mind instead? Voice your opinions.
No just take it out of 4v4 Slayer and Objective playlists, Team Doubles, and FFA playlists. It can stay in Campaign, BTB, and Swat. Probably Breakout to.
Base player movement speed is a joke. Thrusters almost completely undo the work they did to make sprint work well. I just want options to play Classic Halo.
I say they leave it as is. I see the thrust a more “iffy” mechanic that slows kills (I believe that’s why the no sprint camp wants it gone, correct?). Thrusting should be disabled during no shield period. That alone would decrease people “running away”.

Then that means that 343 is pandering to one group. Like I said, based on what I’ve seen, this is a split issue where 50% of people don’t want sprint and the other half want to keep it.

Thruster and Clamber make Sprint worse, by themselves they are okay. But that’s what sprint does, it makes everything worse.

Which is why they should make it where you run and gun. I wouldn’t mind there being a mixed objective playlist that is classic halo.

I’m not so sure. Thrusting seems pretty balanced if you ask me…

I’m just playing devils advocate… I think all the movement is extremely well balanced personally. But I strongly believe everyone should be happy with how the game plays… Well, as many as possible. Halo is such an amazing franchise and I’d hate to see some people drop it because of a mechanic like sprint. I just can’t see how some would stop playing either way. I’ll play Halo 5 regardless of what they do to sprint… Even though I love how it is.

No it doesn’t it means they are balancing their game, Sprint doesn’t work in 4v4 Slayer/Obj, Doubles, and FFA. It works fine in BTB, Swat, and Campaign.

It works just fine in all of those modes you mentioned. If sprint is further tweaked, then the game will be balanced.

I’m sure we will have swat and maybe griff ball. Why would Classic be out of the question. I think it’s reasonable.

Increased speed does not replace sprint. It would basically take spartan charge out and make clamber very ineffective. It also does not make up for the tactical depth of sprint.

Do you fall into that category? Your K/D for all games is garbage xD

I agree. The one new mechanic that I quite like is how you can float for a few seconds while jumping and zooming at the same time… I can’t stand the new “iron sights” and can’t understand why anyone thinks that it’s an improvement: why would you want part of your viewing field hidden away behind your weapon?
