In my opinion Sliding does not seem to fit the game-play of Halo since it is not COD, Destiny or Apex and Halo should distance itself from those games. Halo has always been about skills with weapons, holding down areas of the map and fun, so adding in a slide mechanic feels off.
I remember reading that a 343 Dev mentioned they decided to remove assassinations because they were not widely used and they wanted to go for a more retro Halo feel, so how sliding is retro is confusing. How many people actually use sliding? I bet its not more than people who would use assassinations. Assassinations are a cool Halo specific mechanic that left you exposed so you had to make a quick tactical decision if it was worth doing it or not, but if you pulled it off it was satisfying.
I would much rather have assassinations then sliding any day since assassinations were unique to Halo and had a level of satisfaction and fun to them.
NOW this is a TAKE. This has to be a joke post.
Dude, can you stop pretending anything new automatically ruins halo?
You canāt even slide that far.
Thanks a bunch my ears can never unsee this.
Games evolve over time. Different games come out with new mechanics and some stand the test of time. These new mechanics make games more interesting and give depth to movement possibilities.
What do you want? Slow floating turrets, with radar, and AA that does all the work for you? That sounds insanely boring. The first Halo was fine when it came out. Things have changed and progressed.
If you want to play the same game over and over, play that game.
I actually donāt like sliding either, it immediately makes the game Destiny to me. I know Iām in the minority saying that. But itās just another step away from Halo.
I donāt like sliding either, but itās probably here to stay. My suggestion would be to limit the amount of sliding a player can do in rapid succession. Sliding becomes very spammy very quickly when people do it every second.
I donāt like sliding simply because itās just the Thruster problem again, an enemy can radically change their movement speed and direction instaneously with one button press, and it can end up -Yoinking!- your aim up. Iām probably in the minority, but Halo didnāt need slide, it was fine without it. Same with sprint, but that oneās almost certainly never getting removed at this point. And no, itās not that new things are bad, itās that these features are literally pointless.
We need a toggle for this! /s
If anyone has an extra code can you dm it to me?

Itās simple really. Anything that permanently adds to Spartansā attached āshoot, grenades, meleeā is bad.
Temporary abilities like equipment and vehicles are good.

Itās asinine.

LOL, you donāt like any sort of skill in movement. No room for outplays either. Boringā¦
Move slowly so I can please hit you.
Plus slide doesnāt work like that. Itās slow and has a long animation. You canāt use it in a gunfight. You can only really use it to evade or initiate a fight. Good luck sliding mid fight.

Wonderful point indeed 
Itās amusing that people chose to make pointless comments instead of giving a valid reason why slide is useful or why they think it is a good addition to Halo over other mechanics.
343 has said that they want to go back to the retro Halo feel so they removed assassinations ( these may return) and spartan abilities to give Infinite that retro feel. However, adding in a slide mechanic seems to go against that concept since sliding is a mechanic for modern games. It would make more sense to have a 3 second sprint boost, which would be more useful when evading, chasing a target or getting away from vehicles. At minimum slide should have a cool down, so that it cannot be spammed.

Halo has always been about skills with weapons, holding down areas of the map and fun, so adding in a slide mechanic feels very wrong. Assassinations were a cool feature and Halo specific, so it made sense to me in Halo. Also, using it left you exposed so you had to make a quick tactical decision if it was worth doing it or not.

One of the 343 Devs mentioned back in August that they decided to remove assassinations because people did not use them, but they should not be replaced with sliding. How many people actually use sliding? I bet its not more than people who would use assassinations.

Unfortunately, too many people like it and itās not necessary to play the game. Therefore, you can choose not to slide, and you arenāt forced to make concessions just by its very existence (such as was the case in Halo 5 with sprint causing map stretch, forcing you to sprint). They wouldnāt consider removing it, as I see it, but my problem with it is that itās unrealistic. The distance you get from sliding is wayy too much. You would never get the distances you see players sliding from the amount that they are running. Iād at least like for them to make it a little more realistic

Agree. If they keep the slide it should be more realistic based on the speed that you move. I also think that it should have a 20 sec or 30 sec cool down.
As it stands the slide is so inefficient I donāt even utilize it. It gives you an initial speed buff but itās so minute that you feel like youāre slowing down faster than youāre speeding up. Iāve used this analogy many times; it feels like your carās tires just suddenly disappeared and youāre quickly grinding to a complete stop. The slide is way too clunky. And sprint is far slower than H5 you canāt even run for cover. You just get shot down from behind as you attempt to. Itās more efficient for the team if you just turn around and got as many shots as you could in before you die. Slide and sprint in infinite is not worth using competitively. And in BTB the sprint movement speed is so slow I just wait for the next available vehicle to spawn while I shoot from afar.

Slide already feels like you turn into a rock. Playing on FOV 120 degrees gives you artificial distance and doesnāt make you any āfasterā. Iād argue slide should decelerate slower than what it is currently. Even I can slide more fluid than this on a baseball field. Your speed should reduce when the hip reaches the ground not when you press the slide input.
