After playing my first few games, honestly Sprint really doesn’t change anything about what I like about Halo. I found that all that sprint really does is increase the rate of engagements, making for more constant firefights. Otherwise if you try to use to try and flee a battle, any slightly average player is going to kill you, thanks the brilliant take to make sure shield don’t recharge during sprint.
I’ve actually been scared of using sprint in several situations because of the shield penalty. Great addition. I still don’t really like the idea of sprint in Halo but it’s definitely a vast improvement over 4 and that makes me happy.
