Sprint (Warning! Controversial Topic Included!)

I find it interesting to watch the Sprint Vs No Sprint Argument.
One notable thing I’ve seen is that a lot of the Anti-Sprint arguments revolve around the idea that Halo does not need to conform or change to be popular. But, at this point, removing Sprint would be fundamentally changing the game. You don’t suggest that they take sprint out of CoD or Battlefield because it’s been there forever.

And Sprint has now been in 2 Halo games and will be in a third.

Sprint is almost certainly here to stay. Saying it changes Halo and that it should be removed makes no sense because it is now a part of the core Halo experience.
Unless you consider Halo CE to Halo 3:ODST the “core” Halo experience, which it is not. Those game all came out in the past. They were all produced by Bungie (with some help from 343i), which is a different company. The most recent one was in 2009, which is over 5 years ago. It is time to move on.

Also, to better understand Anti-Sprint arguments, I want to know something.
I’ve seen several suggestions to make the default speed 120%. Why?
This does nothing. If used on current maps, it’ll only really remove the flinching, recharge, and such of regular Sprint (which OMG will liek totally break HALO!) and, if fully implemented for good, will just be the equivalent of no sprint (which is the part of the argument I understand).

Im glad someone wants sprint to stay. People dont think about casual gamers, the ones who dont have a alot of patience I know alot of gamers particularly on call of duty and battlefield which will definitely complain about no sprinting.

I agree with sprint staying in halo, but the aim- speed should be reduced while sprinting so you can’t sprint around corners.

I’ve been playing since halo CE and i’m not against sprint at all I feel that since we’re advanced spartans we should be able to sprint and such.

I’m all for Sprint in Halo. It makes the game more fast-paced and dynamic.

no sprint has been with halo in many years and has been one of the signature things that has separated it from other fps console shooters, how do you think the cs community would react if they had gotten sprint.

but as you said sprint has been around now since reach so i honestly am used to it and don’t bother it so much and they 343 implemented it in 5 is great.

but if i had to choose id pick no sprint.
