> I hate to break it to you, bud, but the people still playing Halo 5 are a minority in the Halo community. It sold about half as much as Halo 4, which itself sold about 3/4 of Halo 3’s numbers, and the population has declined extremely quickly. Feel free to harbor this delusion if you want, but the reality is that the actual majority has stopped playing “modern” Halo and doesn’t post on these forums. The natural result of that is that the people who think all of this crap is a good thing are the majority of people still around You think that 343 should keep appealing to you, so their unit sales can keep declining as the rest of that “vocal minority” leaves? I wonder how irrelevant Halo will need to become before 343 or Microsoft decides that appealing to people like you over the millions of people who haven’t cared since Halo 3 or MAYBE Reach that aren’t buying/playing the games.

But then why are all these people here saying that future halo titles shouldn’t have sprint? If the ‘true’ fans of halo left then why are there so many anti-sprint threads that keep on continuing with the exact same reasons and beliefs if the community is so little? Also, your point on how well the game sells because of ONE function seems highly unrealistic when they could have the option to not sprint at all. And my thoughts on why the population for halo 5 is so little is because of 2 reasons: the major competition such as call of duty, battlefield, gta ect and how this community felt with both halo 4 and the mcc’s launch. Not only are most arguements made by yourself are redundant but they seem to be what someone that blindly clings to the past and calls it ‘nostalgia’. Another thing I have trouble understanding with your kind is that most of you don’t understand change as if you need to go with the flow and continue or go do something else. Back to your first arguement, the few that play halo 5 are going with it and a lot of arguements from legitimate players are that Spartan charge should be removed instead of this completely bland topic of sprint.

And with that, good day sir

Finally, something I can agree with on this topic

-Yoink!-! is this serously on popular topics again? -_-

> And with that, good day sir

Your post is barely even comprehensible.

Not only are most arguements made by yourself are redundant but they seem to be what someone that blindly clings to the past and calls it ‘nostalgia’

Are you calling his arguments redundant? Are you claiming they sound like something that someone who blindly clings to the past would say? Or are you stating the fact that he is describing his own arguments in that way? I can’t -Yoinking!- tell, that sentence is so butchered there’s a million ways for me to interpret it.

Not only are most of the arguments that you have made redundant, but they seem to be what someone that blindly clings to the past would say.
Other people would even refer to it as “nostalgia”.

I’m just ASSUMING those are the points you meant to get across. No way for me to actually tell.

That leads me to a few sentences down, where I’m again assuming that you’re trying to state that people need to go with the flow. Which pisses me off beyond belief. Change isn’t inherently good, “progress” isn’t inherently good, and blindly submitting to popularly held mentalities isn’t what intelligent people do. But it does seem to be what most of the young people are doing these days, unfortunately.

id rather keep sprint.

For me sprint made the campaign fly by, which in Halo 5’s campaign is not what you want. Although it was useful on Legendary Solo, I think? Sprinting was never in the originals and they worked fine, by not having sprint it doesn’t encourage people to run away. if you want to get to places quickly that’s what vehicles are for. So yes I agree that sprinting should be removed, but there are going to be those which want it to make their life easier.

With the game being on increasingly bigger scales, we need sprint.

If you remove it, it will make it next to impossible to cross open terrain without getting gunned down, and that goes for both war zone and arena. Sprint is not it’s OP version as it were in Reach, now here in Halo 5 and possibly in Halo 6, a great deal of risk does come with sprinting (especially in arena). Why, well because as everyone knows it takes a second for the spartan to stop his sprinting animation were the gun is lowered, and this “delay” can cost you your life, if you aren’t careful.

Sprint is an element, if which were removed, would not make Halo itself again, because Halo is it self (gameplay wise). To be honest I have been playing since Halo CE days, where I played on splitscreen LAN (and I did throughout H2 until H3), and I have owned every Halo in between Halo CE and Halo 5. I think that besides Halo 3/ODST, Halo 5 is by far the most fun I’ve had with any Halo. The gameplay works !

If something were to be removed and replaced withsomething else, I would have the game to be the ideal resolution and then keep all the cool effects and lighting, as Halo 5 were meant to have had. → Also the dreaded Microtransactions should also be removed

I want Halo to evolve but with it’s own identity intact while innovating every aspect big time. Stuff like sprinting I would like but in form of limited sprints.

Well sorry everyone for thinking that we should either accept change or continue playing older halo games. I just believe that change is better.

Obviously I was wrong about everything

theres a difference between innovating off of what works and changing what works…343 has changed what worked instead of working off what already worked

I never really thought of it like that.

Well we all know the saying ‘don’t change the wheel’ or ‘don’t change it if it works’

You sir, just melted my brain.

I’d rather keep sprint like the halo 5, or halo reach way.

Halo 4 sprint was f***ed up… Everyone was escaping situations because your health got recharged while sprinting.

> My god, for the last time, if halo didn’t introduce sprint, than halo would be worse, because it wouldn’t have innovated the series. It’s like the big industry crash when Atari was sent to the grave, and Nintendo came and revived the industry, so just leave sprint be, you know what quote me, and write down ONE reason why sprint is bad, I see NO flaws with it, and that’s why sprint is gonna stay!!!

please read the countless reasons posted in this thread.

> arena multiplayer at first I thought a no sprint playlist might be optimal but hear me out. I pretty sure the new spartan abilities (save -Yoinking!- spartan charge) would be GENERALLY accepted in a halo game if they werent accompanied by sprint it would feel more competitive more strategic and would also still be recognizable to the fine tuned experience we got in halo 5. Warzone and customs would be a whole other beast entirely retaining ALL the features that made halo 5 successful would keep warzone great and would also allow more options for custom games, for those people that actually wanted to play in a sprint arena type setting they could actually fire up the in game custom game lobby adjust the filter and be good to go! lets face it, sprint has NO place in competitve halo and to argue that it does would just be absurd. this would allow arena maps to continue to be designed the PROPER way and please the vets and basically everyone whos willing to give it a chance and you wouldnt lose much of your sprint loving audience at all because there would still be sprint in the game it would just take a backseat!
> Thoughts? :3

There’s not a chance 343 will remove sprint overall, it won’t ever happen, too many players rely on it now. The fact that you’re still clinging to the idea that “sprint ruined Halo” all the way back from Reach shows that you’re either a classic Hao fan or someone who just can’t get used to sprinting. Now I agree H5’s maps are not well designed to handle sprint, but sprint did not in any way ruin Halo. As for the spartan abilites, that -yoink- needs to go, it’s way more OP than sprint and even more unfair when new players are trying out the game.

How can you say that if some of the maps are remastered from games without sprint and other new maps are around the same sizes as those remastered maps? Even something like war zone has larger maps but they also allow you to pull vehicles out of thin air. Some of the maps may be large, but compared to maps like Vahalla and Coagulation that fit big team comfortably, war zone is fine. Its scaled up to comfortably fit 24 people, objectives and large vehicles regularly. No map was built so large that sprint is mandatory, it just helps to speed up gameplay and help you travel around faster. If there was a huge battle on the other side of the map and I had to casually walk their then I would be incredibly bored!
