Sprint Nerf

Why is this mechanic nerfed so badly. Here are some of these nerfs:

  1. Shields don’t recharge while sprinting.
  2. Slower sprint speed.
  3. Spartan Charge.
  4. Longer cool down.
    I fear there was another one, but it escapes my frazzled mind at the moment.

Why is this mechanic so nerfed, I ask again?
If it’s such a problem, why not just remove it? It is affecting the gameplay too immensely.
Let us beat the horse and discuss away.

Because Halo has a longer TTK and yet there was desire to still provide a industry standard, expected by the masses, basic movement mechanic. To keep it balanced with Halo’s combat style norms, it was strongly nerfed.

Have sprint. Piss off competitive players. Get rid of sprint. Casual and CoD kids won’t even buy the game to begin with. Compromise by nerfing sprint. Absolutely no one is happy. This is the path we’ve forced on 343. Nobody wins.

Okay, no I don’t. But if Halo 4 taught us anything then it taught us that there’s a big difference between buying a game and playing a game. I guess that’s kind of what I meant.

To make it not-so nerfed, they should just keep the sprint speed the way it was before they made these new changes. Sprint should be like an ACTUAL sprint instead of just running. Instead of power-walking, now we can jog but we can’t sprint. Well, I guess we’ll have to accept these changes. I sorta hope that we will have more options for speed in custom games.
