There has been a large discussion about the removal of sprint. People defended and offended sprint. I understand why anti-sprinters want sprint gone from Halo franchise for various reasons like “it breaks the Golden Triangle”, “it causes larger scaling of map”, “it is an illusion”, “it is unnecessary”, “it was added to accommodate new people from other shooters”, and “it drove away millions of population”. On the other side, I have not see any good reason why sprint should be in the game other than “I like sprint”, “sprint makes you go faster”, “Spartans should be able to sprint”, and “Halo needs to evolve”. Those are not convincing to me as a neutral player about the topic than anti-sprinter’s argument. I am not writing this to argue whose right and wrong. I am here to share my idea that could compromise and could possibly convince anti-sprinters, at least having less problem than now. I did not post this to removal of sprint thread, because I do not want this to be buried by other people’s argument about removal and how is bad or good.
My ideal to sprint:
- Players never lower their weapon, which means players can shoot, melee, and grenade while sprinting. - When “sprinting”, players go faster obviously. - When “sprinting”, the sensitivity becomes lowest setting in the game to make hard to turn or look around, which makes player heading to pretty much one direction. (maybe even lower than the lowest sensitivity. As a player who uses 1~2 sensitivity, it is not hard for me to turn or look around, so I think it has to be lower than the lowest sensitivity. There should be specific low sensitivity for this.) - If player melee enemy player while sprinting, that player goes to assassination animation for about three seconds. The player who has been assassinated have two seconds to survive from the assassination, if teammate saves that player by killing the player who tried to assassinate. This will replace Spartan Charge and will have consequence for doing it. - If player pressed crouch button, it goes to slide like it is now. - The shield recharge slower while sprinting.
