Useless comment that just bumped this “useless topic.”

They got rid of Armor Abilities and loadouts didn’t they? If the game is suffering as a result of sprint they should get rid of it no questions asked.

You are right that content is the biggest problem with Halo 5, but the overall experience of the game is lacking, and Sprint is a huge part of that. Maps have to follow a very strict set of rules to work with Sprint. That’s why all the maps in the game feel so similar and even though we’ve gotten a decent amount of content post-launch it still feels like there is no diversity. That is because of Sprint and all the other abilities that 343i have added, and that is a major issue.

Okay well don’t expect anyone serious about debate to take you seriously anymore. I want a lot of things in games, but I’d rather the devs not put it in since it has a chance of ruining the game. I want space battles in Halo games. That would be cool. Doesn’t mean I want them to do it since the rest of the game may suffer for a part that isn’t even that good.

> > To all the people who like sprint. What does the new halos offer that is different from the other games on the market? Halo is becoming more fast paced, its adding more and more features from other games. (ADS, sprint, op automatic gun, hit markers ect.) There are plenty more games like the game you are trying to make halo, just play those games instead of halo. This whole “modernization” of halo is lowering the sales of the game. Now I will say that halo 5 did remove load outs and other little things but it added more features from other games. Remember when halo was HUGE? it did not have any of these things (maybe a few that I cannot think of) now yes the customers have changed, but these new game mechanics are hurting the games sales immensely when they should be helping. If you want cod, play cod. If you want titanfall play titanfall. If that is what makes your brain release dopamine then play it, dont ruin it for others that have the same dopamine release for the older halo games. People who like the original halos have no where to go besides halo (which is becoming more and more like games I personally dont like) if there was another game like halo that played the way I wanted it to I would leave halo. I have been playing halo since I was 3, but I have no problem leaving if there is something I enjoy more. If it makes you happy then go after it, the original halos do not seem to interest you, instead if wasting your time arguing why halo should become like cod, then just play cod. Dont be a prisoner to a game you dont like just because you have a connection to it. <3

> Halo 5 isn’t close to other games over a few specific mechanics no matter how you argue it. Halo what other fps has forge like halo? Halo still retains one of the higher ttk reguardless if people say it’s going lower, it’s still a heavy team oriented game, still uses arena style maps that really very few games do. Not many have you fight for map control either nor is h5 a run N game, the ttk still stops you from doing art of these things cuz you have to eventually stop to regenerate said shields. I’m sorry, but sprint nor ADS make me feel halo is trying to become another whole genre of games. I’ll admit halo isn’t quite the same as it used to be, I dislike the map designs changing, the over abundance of weapons that do the same thing as other guns, the annoying as -Yoink- Spartan/armor abilities, but halo is still halo.
I get what you’re saying but compare Halo 5 to Halo 3 or Reach. The matchmaking of Halo 3 is gone as well as the giant amount of content. The old weapon balance is gone. Autos hard counter precision weapons, especially with the headshot multiplier. People just sprint and Spartan charge corners now. Pubstomping and farming are beginning to become epidemics in certain playlists with certain groups devoting themselves to it.
Far Cry has forge and launched with it, Black Ops 3 has better custom games now. Halo 5 had a terrible campaign especially for Halo and launched with a pitiful amount of maps and modes.
You can argue the general premise of map control and how Halo isn’t run and gun and has slightly higher TTK, but it doesn’t change the facts that the matchmaking is undeniably weaker, the ranks are crap, and the spawns an absolute disgrace. The series has been sliding downhill for a while now and the releasing ridiculous micro-transactions in a full retail price game as well as the other markers of weak sales prove it. Halo isn’t doing anywhere near as well as it used to and there’s a reason and it isn’t because the older style was outdated because you can plainly see from Doom and Overwatch and CS that those kinds of games still brim with the potential to be popular.
