Sprint adds a second gear of movement that comes with benefits and trade-offs, effectively adding another layer of strategy to the game. When combined with the other mechanics in Halo 5, it makes for something that’s both engaging just genuinely fun to play. People’s complaints about how it negatively affects the game are ridiculous. It stretches out the maps? You mean just like how every other game bases their maps around their gameplay mechanics? I guess Titanfall shouldn’t have had awesome parkour routes for their wallrun mechanic. People also complain about its effects on the weapon sandbox. The sandbox in which, finally, every weapon is useful? You’re really gonna complain about that?

I’m just answering your question, none thing else.

Personal experience with the game helps out a lot with one’s argument. It sure helps out a lot more than asking over and over “How does it benefit the game?” With nothing else substantial to add.

> rolls eyes no ones over the “no service record your opinion means nothing” thing yet? My service record shows I haven’t played the original hCE or h2 and very little of h3 but I have indeed played them many times over. In fact I could mention a few things that the originals didnt have in them that the mcc added. It’s also possible people could’ve played at a friends house, played it on a different account, or even just watched playthroughs of it by other people to get the gist. Never judge people by their waypoint records, some prefer to not link their normal account and prefer to just make an alt account only for posting on here.

Why? What’s the need for secrecy? Makes your argument seem flimsy. Also I couldn’t give a crap of what other Halos you have played in the context of this game.

Not having games on your service record does not mean you haven’t played the game. It also doesn’t change the demonstrable effects of certain mechanics on the gameplay of Halo. It’s incredible to me that people on this forum still don’t get that after so long. It is not relevant to the conversation and it’s pretty much poisoning the well.

“Not playing this game has nothing to do with me saying things in this game are bad”
-You

Removing sprint from halo 5 wouldn’t work, because the maps were designed for sprinting. But for halo 6, they could have classic playlists without sprint, and halo 6 playlists with sprint. Then everyone would get what they want.

> Sprint adds a second gear of movement that comes with benefits and trade-offs, effectively adding another layer of strategy to the game.

The inability to push while being offensive also eliminates a handful of potential strategies as well.

There’s so much more to game strategy than just trade-offs and item/mechanic counter-play.

> Not playing this game has nothing to do with me saying things in this game are bad"
> -You

First, that’s not even remotely what he’s saying.
Second, bringing up someone’s service record is more often than not an ad hominem that has no relevance to the argument at hand and doesn’t actually refute anything.

Maybe they don’t want to associate their in-game handle with the nonsense that goes on in this forum? Maybe they don’t want their stats to be arbitrarily brought into conversations where they don’t belong? There are plenty of valid reasons, but I have questions. Why do you care? What bearing do these irreverent stats have on whether someone’s argument is “flimsy?” Do you want to see everyone’s diplomas as well? Perhaps you would like to see their work history? Or, you could just have a conversation about the actual topic at hand.

And having played other Halos is absolutely relevant when we’re talking about a mechanics this game has and classic Halo games did not. It doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s a numbered entry in a series.

When combined with the other mechanics in Halo 5, it makes for something that’s both engaging just genuinely fun to play. People’s complaints about how it negatively affects the game are ridiculous. It stretches out the maps? You mean just like how every other game bases their maps around their gameplay mechanics? I guess Titanfall shouldn’t have had awesome parkour routes for their wallrun mechanic. People also complain about its effects on the weapon sandbox. The sandbox in which, finally, every weapon is useful? You’re really gonna complain about that?

Why is a second movement speed necessary? If anything, the limitations of sprint also limit strategy. And at times, not sprinting could be a disadvantage, particularly when traversing since the maps are built for that speed. There’s less choice to be made when sprint. That’s as opposed to if there’s no sprint where you’re never limited in what you can do and thus allows for more possibilities in the moment to moment gameplay.

Why is risk/reward automatically a good thing when applied to mechanics? If a rocket launcher had a 50% chance of blowing up in your face when firing two consecutive shots without reloading, that’s risk/reward, but it’s not necessarily a good thing.

I don’t know how much you’ve been following this topic, but we’ve covered the effect larger maps have on the game. Perhaps I should go over them again?

Also, just because every weapon is useful, that doesn’t mean they’re balanced. But that’s another topic entirely.

Whenever they HAVEN’T PLAYED THE GAME yeah I’m going to make a judgment on that.

It does, but I won’t ignore their opinion either way, nor will I make assumptions about their playtime. I’ll just explain why they may be wrong. Unlike that other guy who doesn’t even bother to explain his own reasoning. Probably because he has nothing to support what he believes regarding the topic.

I really can stress enough how difficult it is to refrain from bannable behavior when I encounter idiotic -Yoink- like this on Waypoint. Ok. Allow me to explain this to you, sport. I have played about 2.5 as many games in Halo 5 as you have in this game on THIS TAG ALONE. I have ALSO played the game on three other XBL accounts. Had I chosen to, I could have made a forum account tied to NONE of them. That wouldn’t mean I haven’t played the game. Do you get it yet, genius?

And that’s disregarding the simple fact that our service records are completely irrelevant to this discussion.

My service record shows I haven’t played the original hCE or h2 and very little of h3 but I have indeed played them many times over. In fact I could mention a few things that the originals didnt have in them that the mcc added. It’s also possible people could’ve played at a friends house, played it on a different account, or even just watched playthroughs of it by other people to get the gist. Never judge people by their waypoint records, some prefer to not link their normal account and prefer to just make an alt account only for posting on here.

Look the game is not going to change and unless they go full nostalgia I doubt 6 will remove the mechanic. Sprint feels different but I enjoy it which is something I didn’t think would happen after how Halo 4 was handled. Also people people act like it is the reason for Halo’s drop off. Most people that I talk to dislike the TTK and people not dying in a heartbeat.

> Whenever they HAVEN’T PLAYED THE GAME yeah I’m going to make a judgment on that.

You can judge however much you want. But judgements don’t qualify as counter-arguments to whatever point they happen to be making.

“Sprint sucks because it leads to upscaled maps.”
Actual Counter-Argument: “Why are upscaled maps a bad thing? You haven’t elaborated on that point whatsoever.”
Useless Ad-Hominem: “Yeah well you haven’t played the game. Checkmate Tryhards, Casuals 1 Competitive Players 0”

> Removing sprint from halo 5 wouldn’t work, because the maps were designed for sprinting. But for halo 6, they could have classic playlists without sprint, and halo 6 playlists with sprint. Then everyone would get what they want.

Think that is pretty much the point. Least I would hope every one knows it is to late to remove it. Also they have brought up classic play-lists and such, for Halo 5, may settle for it if it was on launch on Halo 6. The problem with sprint, is it would also be in the campaign. So there would need to be a possible solution there.

And now you’re shifting gears and switching to the nostalgia/adapt argument. Your TTK caim only makes sense if all of your friends are CoD players. How exactly would the longer TTK (which is a problem and is made worse by mechanics like sprint) cause the drop-off in a console shooter series generally known for longer kill times? What?

Yep me liking Sprint makes me tryhard, good one at making an Ad Hominem you accused me of. So why is the map being larger bad?

Um, what? I never called you a tryhard, and the bolded was just an example of a counter-argument someone could’ve made instead of relying on an ad hominem.

I don’t think you read my post correctly.

You might want to look into what an ad hominem actually is. Hint: it’s not just being mean.
