As to your previous post, here is a refute for your response about why sprinting is bad.
I will start with the first link first to keep them separate and easier to understand. But first do not try and use words to intimidate me, to try and confuse me, or to try and sound like you are smarter than me. All it really proves is that you are good with words, and you are good at manipulating words to manipulate people and deceive them as well. But you do not fool me, I could very well see you as a bit of an educated man, but someone who would be a good lawyer, detective, or a high rate business man, or salesman. You want to know what all those people have in common? lie, deceive, manipulate, confuse, and intimidate people to talk back to them. If you want respect from someone, you talk to them, you don’t try and intimidate, and show your prowess of knowledge of words. Keep it simple and sweet. And just because I don’t use big words on a constant basis will show that I will listen and pay attention to others. That I do not want to confuse them, yet it does not portray that I’m stupid in any way.
As for the first link he tries to pull the same thing as you, say a bunch of nonsense to act like there is more knowledge and input than there really is.
As for 343i, they had a say in Halo Reach as well, by the way, and Bungie was already in the mindset to pass the torch, and Bungie had started to integrate Spartan abilities as well. So its where Halo was going to anyways, and Bungie already knew it, but some of the higher up Bungie workers wanted to move onto something new and different.
As for the beta for Halo 5, Bungie pulled an open beta as well for Halo 3, knowing that they themselves wanted to hear from the Halo community to help find bugs and glitches as well as help define Halo. 343i is now doing the same exact thing, because they learned by not having a beta for Halo 4 that it was a very wrong move not to include the Halo community. Halo 4 from day one, 343 said that they wanted to know where they could stand, to make something befitting of Halo, to make it the original core of Halo which was to evolve combat. Just like the title states in Halo 1, Combat evolved. That’s kind of a very big core of Halo is to evolve it into something better, and Bungie would agree, hence why they put that into its title of the first game.
But his statement “Halo is a simple shooter” is what he describes Halo 1, 2, and 3 as, I would say that Bungie from day one never wanted Halo to be just a “simple shooter”
And there is a huge difference between modernizing Halo and evolving Halo to a better and more complex game than what it already was. In all things if something stays simple and easy, it will die off, Bungie and 343i knew this. Just like a tool, or a car, or a toy, or a house, or even better yet, a phone. If a phone stays simple it will die off, same with every other game, if it stays the same it will die, so lets stick to what Halo really truly is Combat Evolved shall we.
As for size of the map and sprint itself that has been covered over and over again in this thread, and still does not change what happens on the map. But sprint does however give more options to a player to do as you want, whether if you want to put yourself in a bad situation, be my guess you will most likely die, and if you do it as I would and use it to get yourself into position or to quickly approach your opponent to catch them off guard, than low and behold I just outsmarted you, since you are not prepared for it. But as for the size of the map, you have to definitely be more precise with your shots if you want to shoot a longer range, so I guess that would take more skill, as you guys say sprint takes the skill away.
As for melee and Spartan charge goes. the biggest minority of kills has always come from melee, in all games, unless you are that noob that literally runs around to melee everyone cause he doesn’t know what the right trigger does on his controller. Pros very rarely melee, cause they know if you are close enough to melee an opponent than they are close enough to melee you, and so melee usually cancels each other out in gameplay and so, pros and more skilled players will avoid the cause to melee, unless of course its there you might as well do it right. Cause if you don’t your opponent definitely will.
So don’t act like the fact that bigger maps there are less chance to melee cause that is beyond all reason, people like to get into close battles all the time. And when you are close you are going to melee. And there still is those melee kills quiet often in Halo 5 as there was in any other Halo if not more, sense you can run up and surprise people now as well.
As for Spartan charge, if you charge someone in the back you get an instant kill, I do it all the time, so why you have to stop sprinting to get an assassination is beyond my understanding of your knowledge about Halo. as for sprinting past a corner and someone is there, that is just a bad decision that you made and you have to deal with a bad decision. With every decision comes consequences whether they are good or bad, but you make those decisions.
So that pretty much covered all those so called strong points in that post and than some. so try again to come up with some more excuses, please.
