just a thought, how would you guys feel about not being able to sprint when your shields are down?
Interesting idea. Personally, I think slowing down when shot is already a good way to stop people from running away, so I’m not sure this would be necessary. I could already see people calling it annoying.

you can’t shoot them once they’ve gone around a corner though, so once they back out around a corner they’re free to sprint off, if they can’t sprint with no shields then they can’t run away as easily.
slowing down when getting shot at only helps to prevent running in for double meleeing not running away.

Everyone has sprint, so you’re always able to chase him if you choose. I’d wait till you play the game to see if you really find it a problem.

you can’t shoot while sprinting though, so even if you chase with sprint yourself you can’t exactly attack him giving him time for his shields to start recharging making it even easier for him to get away.
ehh, kinda like the current idea of how being shot stops you from sprinting, having the shields down should effect anything, imo.

wait, is that how its going to work in halo 4? if so my bad 
No, it’s not a good idea to me. The sprint is already slowed down by raining bullet’ so it seems unnecessary to me to have that. Other than that, you can’t fire the gun while sprinting, so that’s fine and just prepare for getting shot first.

You don’t stop, but you definitely slow down.

This was my understanding of the Halo 4 mechanic.

that isn’t going to prevent me from backing out then instantly sprinting away which is a problem with sprint.
No, that would make Gameplay too clunky…

Totally prevent? No. But it’s shouldn’t. If you have that much escape time you should be able to exercise that right.
Anyone know of good fottage of sprint slowd-down when shot?
You can try to sprint away slowly, but that makes it easier to kill you. If you’re lucky, you can try and dodge to retain full sprint.

yes but it shouldn’t be so easy to just run away from a battle, it should take quite a bit of effort to dis-engage once you’ve engage, sprint just makes it so that dis-engaging is a relatively easy thing to pull off, if you’re one shot so you can’t sprint then it becomes much more difficult, still do-able but you have to play it smarter.

i hope so, that would make it so sprint is a navigational tool only, more or less.
makes no sense, just because your sheilds are down doesn’t mean your legs are going to stop working
> makes no sense, just because your sheilds are down doesn’t mean your legs are going to stop working
yes but the suit is diverting power away from the ability to recharge the shields so the suit is preventing you from sprinting untill the shields are full.
