Sprint could easily be incorporated into things like custom games and infection (just to give an example), no doubt about it. Let people have their own choices of customization, screwing around and having a blast, whatever. I’m down for that. However, at the same time, it has absolutely 0 reason to be incorporated into a mode where most of that side of the community completely hates it due to it being a downside to the competitive environment for one reason or another (Some of those reasoning being how it doesn’t allow players to punish others for bad positioning, how it makes the game’s overall skill gap lower by giving people panic reaction options [Double melee, spartan charge], and how it locks you into an animation whilst you’re using it. [As there is a delay when transitioning from sprint speed to normal movement speed to aim your gun])

Nope. Warthogs all the way, if you don’t use a warthog or ghost or whatever in some way, shape or form, you’re “compromising the gameplay of halo and that’s bad!” because “The first 3 halo campaigns didn’t use sprint, therefore sprint isn’t needed in halo!”
> >
> > You’re trying to apply an entire argument of “everything halo related should not involve sprint” to a specific scenario in the original trilogy of campaigns, simply because you don’t like it. In other words, this.It’s fascinating to me that you criticize someone’s contradictory, yet, you can’t even provide any objective points as to why “more customization/options” is bad. (Especially when modding is a possibility on halo games, such as Halo MCC on PC - a game that actually has mod support, and a modding community.)

I’m perfectly fine with that. Hell, even I listed some examples as to why it could be a bad thing in places like the competitive scene of halo. (as well as some objective positives for the casual scene, such as more customization of settings in custom games) But don’t try to sell me some subjective BS reasoning as a reason to why “feature in game bad.”, because I honestly don’t think you’re looking at this from an objective standpoint, rather a subjective one based on a niche example that can easily be dismissed, as well as what can easily be seen as you clinging onto nostalgia to the point of where you’re trying to force it onto others for the sake of doing so. (and no, “I don’t like it because it’s lazy and a warthog could easily take it’s place” isn’t objective, because like I said - if that was the case, I might as well slap a warthog onto an infection map for “movement purposes”, even if it doesn’t mesh well with the map, and call it a day.)

> Where did I say that every map/mission needs vehicles? The person I was responding to was talking about larger environments that require faster movement to be traversed at a reasonable pace, so obviously that wouldn’t apply to a map like Lockout as it’s scaled as to not need vehicles (and uses its geometry, gravity lift, etc. for faster movement). Vehicles, gravity lifts, teleporters, and even the map geometry itself are just some of the ways to allow increased speed without abandoning the gameplay that made your series beloved. I also wasn’t making the argument that more options is bad, so that’s two straw mans in a single comment (unsurprising as you also used buzzword arguments like, “clinging onto nostalgia”). Where were you when I made a post about a straw man?

I loled. You pretty much said it here, that “sprint compromises the experience” based on this one scenario. I don’t know what else you wanna say, the proof’s right there. That doesn’t look like a strawman to me, if anything that looks more like me trying to apply your logic to different scenarios so I can show you that it’s flawed in nature.
" (and uses its geometry, gravity lift, etc. for faster movement). Vehicles, gravity lifts, teleporters, and even the map geometry itself are just some of the ways to allow increased speed without abandoning the gameplay that made your series beloved."
“I also wasn’t making the argument that more options is bad,”
You literately just contradicted yourself. “Without abandoning the gameplay that made your series beloved” but also wanting more options like sprint at the same time? You’re either backtracking with these statements or just simply didn’t read my post. Disappointing, I expected better.
