Competitive Players rejoice! Now we can punish people who herp a derp and sprint around the map with no focus or direction. You now have to use sprint situationally, as there is a slowing effect if being shot whilst sprinting. Finally sprinters are being punished for not sprinting at the right moments, and not being smart about it.
I R CONFUSED
Score 1 for us Competitive Players I guess.

Calm down bro, yes this is amazing news, but keep in mind that it is not only noobs who use Sprint, all types of players do, and in Halo 4 all types of players will. It’s a nice ability, i’m glad it stayed : )
Linky? And besides that’s one tiny little point of what made Sprint bad. You can’t ignore the bad affects it has on map control.
You happy bro? Now the sprint madness can be completely squashed foremost.

It also makes the “Run and Hit” plan a very bad idea.
Incoming rusher sprinting to you to try and double punch you in the face. Just shoot him down, and back up. By the time he gets to you, he’s either out of shields and you should punch his dumb face in, or dies at your feet.
Thanks 343.

That is because Bungie, and CA had to make the map work with and without it.
In Halo 4, the maps work with it. Therefore, it won’t be that big of a problem.
For thous who don’t know this info come form the pod cast. It states that when ever your sprinting if you get shot you will slow down.

I can see this being abused so much… and it doesn’t fix the fact that map control becomes less prominent…
didn’t work for gears wont work for halo

I find the jetpack far worse than sprint when it comes to map control

Sprint is sprint, if its speed is effected then the ability can be rendered useless for that moment giving people the opportunity to make a nice kill. Sprint was defiantly not bad for map control, the maps themselves were never designed correctly, nor did the game have the weapons or mechanics to deal with something like sprint. In a game like Reach where everything seemed slow without the ability being used, made it seem that using sprint caused huge barriers to be broken, but this isn’t Reach, it’s Halo 4 and by the sounds and looks of things it should turn out to be BE-A-UTIFUL : )
> didn’t work for gears wont work for halo
Last time I checked, this was halo not gears.
so excited about this op
> didn’t work for gears wont work for halo
And in what way is that stopping 343 to do a better job than Epic?
this is VERY VERY GOOD
Sweet. Good news.
Sprinting is no longer a crutch ladies and gentlemen!
I don’t matter to me, as long as sprint is still there I’m satisfied…
