Why are SPARTANS, mutated humans as you said, not able to sprint and shoot at the same time? The can flip tanks but can’t shoot and sprint at the same time?? Wait, hold up, they can in the books, why not in the games?

That’s okay, this is a video game not a simulation.

SPRINT SHOULD STAY CAUSE IT HELPS!!!

Still not a constructive post that you never said why it’s good.

Sprint is nothing more than a video game version of “Keeping up with the Joneses” . That is all modernization is…That is why there was that “Oh it plays like Halo?” Comment made during Halo 4’s development. Spartans doing it in cannon and immersion, is nothing more than a shallow justification for the masses that don’t follow dev cycles as closely.

CoD is the “Joneses”, and Halo is never going to reach the level of acceptance and niche popularity that it did, if it continues to play “Keeping up”. The more Halo tries to keep up, the more they get left in the dust, as those who have spent years mastering the formula, can now spend less time overhauling the system to keep up, and more time innovating features that engage their respective communities. Halo is stuck still trying to get modernization to work at a ground level and we see games like CoD, DOOM, Battlefield, GTA, surpassing them by offering the same things for community interaction that Halo was once known for…Theater, Customs, Forge/Snapmap/Content Creator, Campaign Scoring, a CoOp PvE mode. ect. While all these other titles are able to get these thing in at launch or close, speaks volumes for the cost of modernizing Halo when it comes to the vast diversity of the actual Halo community.

Fine, its good to get to a place quicker than having to rely on basic movement.

Lore shouldn’t have any impact on gameplay but I’ll play along. Spartans should be able to go prone, dive, and fight in hand to hand combat, might as well add that into the game as well. Spartans should also be able to shoot while running, so your own argument supports sprint not being in the game

Without sprint every warzone gamemode would be painful as would campaign.

Rather than asking for removal of sprint entirely why not support what another poster suggested and is currently trending in the top forums along with this thread.

Classic playlist. Similar to community doubles with both new and origional maps. Forge on halo 5 is so good and the community has made some real gems so far.

i think a 4v4 playlist without Spartan abilities would go over very well for a lot of people. And it’s a much easier task than fighting to have sprint removed entirely.

Sadly already been done and failed. 343 refuses to dedicate the time to it themselves and took too long to give the community the tools they needed to remedy the issue.

Then you have half of the pro sprint community telling those players, in the non sprint community, to go play other games.

it wont really be a fast paced game. it will be like grandmas taking a walk. but they are in a war trying to kill eachover. And they are in mech powered suits with a AR and a pistol.

Agreed

Wrong, Base movement speed increase will make the game feel far more “faster paced”. DOOM movement speed being an example, as those games are so much more hectic and fast paced than any Halo I have played. Now if you want to bring that up in BTB or Warzone, that is why Halo had the vehicles, one of those features that made Halo stand out from the market competition, yet with the implementation of Sprint, we have seen a steady decline in vehicle placement and usage.

This is a silly topic. Back in the day it was acceptable. But not in 2016 in my opinion.

When in the day? Like Halo 3?

Hey u can escape getting shot by snipers

You can but you can run when getting shot.

Exactly!!! Haha

Why is it not acceptable in 2016? Games don’t need sprint to me successful in 2016.
