I just feel bad that people like you who couldn’t adapt to sprint decided to quit and hope Halo 6 doesn’t have sprint or any other new features.

Dont feel bad for me bro, I have Great memories of good Halo games.

I feel bad for those people that never got to experience what real Halo is.

adapting =/= enjoying

I would prefer if they fixed TMCC

I don’t understand. Are you saying you want a game where no one can shoot because they’re always sprinting? Or do you want only the sprint speed while being able to shoot?

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

The game everyone wants…but not everyone wants the removal of sprint. I like sprint. I like the bigger spaces, and the two speeds in campaign. Stop making these threads, they’re annoying.

The only reason Halo should not have sprint, because it’s not necessary feature. 343 needs to maintain Halo as simple as possible, they should all remove unnecessary things.

H5 has the best multiplayer in the series and I had the first 2 on pc. H2 made massive changes to how the game played and people nearly rioted. The same thing happened with H3 and Reach. You can’t please everyone because there will always be people that can’t deal with change.

I think he’s making a joke. Do you mean up the base speed? OR have your weapon lowered all the time and just run around the map for 15 minutes?

More people don’t like sprint, no, the majority that are still playing it don’t hate it or have no problem with it. That ain’t saying much when you see the decline in population and game popularity. I’m not saying Halo 5’s only problem is sprint, it’s just one of the major ones. It’s affected everything from TTK to map design and so many things in between. Halo CE-Halo 3 never felt slow because of map flow, weapons and the gametypes. I still play Halo 3 to this day with friends every couple of weeks on Lan and we have a blast. Some of my friends haven’t ever played it and are mainly CoD players. Not once have they mentioned game speed or need of sprint. The gameplay itself is extremely fast even with the higher TTK.

I’d like to add this. Think if CS:go added sprint. And I’m not talking about knife speed. I’m talking about the same way Halo 5 has it and soldier 76 has it: lowering your weapon and having two movement speeds. The game would play completely different and think of what the fans would say. 2016 and they still don’t have sprint in that game. Think that sprint is now and modern, that if they could have added it in 2001 they would have? They always had the option. They chose not to.

Also, Halo was never meant to be this super competitive shooter. It’s main focus was it being fun to play: great maps, awesome weapons, different vehicles and so on. When a game is super fun to play, it gains the audience it needs and people get better at it by playing it as time goes on. Then some like to test their skill by playing it competitively against people their on skill level. Take Splatoon for example, it’s extremely fun to play. Now it has people playing it in competitive level and in tournaments. Halo 5 tried too hard to be the most competitive game out there and frankly forgot what was originally so fun in the Halo franchise. I wouldn’t have played 10k Halo 3 matches if it was all about winning and e-sport type gameplay.

One of the most important elements of fun and addictive gameplay is (I’ve said this before) lack of randomness. People live and die by their actions and their actions alone. You are as good as your aiming, map knowledge, positioning, timing, power weapon control and movement. Sprint brings randomness to the equation that isn’t controlled by the player that has done nothing wrong and most of the time punishes them. For example people challenge more but evade the fight easily, holding a position is now punished because of the enemy’s ability to get back and try one more time. Helping a teammate that made all the wrong choises and still got saved by sprinting teammates (this adds to the positioning and keeping a map area problem)

El hecho de que tiene sprint sin Quiere decir que no es de Halo. En este punto tenemos que empezar a pensar en el diseño de mapas más. Estoy no diciendo que no puede diseñar un mapa sin Sprint pero sería drásticamente diferente (al menos en términos de dimensiones) que lo que tenemos ahora.

Maybe unlimited sprint for CERTAIN MODES like firefight (Campaign) or whatever. But for Multiplayer just make it limited.

Yet Halo 2 didnt have a crappy population.
And Halo 5, which you boldly claim has the best multiplayer in the series couldn’t even sustain a healthy population during its free week, with a discounted sell.

Seems like you are misinformed on what people want to play.

get this thread out of here… we love sprint, deal with it

It’s been there in some form since 2010. That’s six years! You really think that we would still have this conversation if it was about adapting the ability to sprint? It’s not that hard. A few months in most cases and you’re done, you know how to use sprint efficiently. If I had the problem of learning how to use sprint for the past 6 years I wouldn’t be here talking about it. That’s not what the conversation is about. It’s about sprint as an ability and its belonging in the Halo franchise. How older Halos played compared to the newer ones and if Halo could succeed more with a simpler gameplay design.

Can you give a discussion on this thread about sprint. Saying deal with it wouldn’t do anything.

You’re an adult and you take pride in the attention your vacuous non-contribution is getting from a bunch of ignorant kids on a internet forum? Wow. That’s pathetic. When I’m feeling down, all I have to do is remember that I’m not you and I already feel better. You might want to try some introspection, pal.

There are also fewer Halo players than there used to be by a significant margin and the only places that are speaking positively about “modern” “Halo” are H4 kid hive minds like Waypoint and Reddit Halo. Just keep pretending your opinion is actually relevant while 343 comes up with even more ways to milk the increasingly insignificant “Halo” population for money.

I’m so sick of this thread … I enjoy sprint and I have since reach as it was my go to armor ability. I honestly would prefer seperate threads on the topic cause the title alone aggregates me at this point.

Are you going to talk about why sprint is good or are you just gonna complain about the threads title.

One thing that might balance sprint could be to allow your gun to stay up while you sprint allowing players to shoot while sprinting and of course put a time limit and refresh time on sprinting so players will have to use it wisely essentially what was put into Halo 4’s campaign this way people won’t be running around shooting endlessly at everyone else. This should replace spartan charge too, giving players a fast way to attack without being cheep.

Yeah just let me repeat what’s already been said and then you can repeat the counter argument and it never ends… So now this thread is joke because more and more people are commenting to remove it or end it.
