well first of all i didnt say that…i dont where your getting that from…i said people shouldnt just say go play something else…because people are already doing that and it will only make the population lower…i think its too late to bring back most hardcore classic fans to halo 5 even with a classic playlist…a classic game by itself might…and i suspect most people who like halo 5’s direction would still play a new halo game even if it was classic…so you would have most of the “new”. halo fans playing and alot of the classic fans playing…overall i think it would be more successful…opposition to new halo is much stronger then praise for new halo…and mcc doesnt count…thats like saying to someone who doesnt like halo 6 to go play halo 5…except halo 5 had terrible connections, terrible ranks, the game consistantly crashes, and theres only two playlists…and one of them is halo reach 50 percent of the time!

But I was under the assumption that if a game type is made, i.e. Non Sprint, and labeled as such, it can easily be found in the files share search section. If this is indeed how it works, I would think there should be a plethora of non sprint maps and game types to go along with the “majority” of people that hate sprint.

that sounds tedious to do consistantly…its easier to just play another game…and most people do…and im not sure im not the biggest custom game player either

I actually like sprint, that’s all I have to say

That is one of the most moronic things I’ve ever heard.
“negatively effects the game” I love the game. It’s fun, it’s balanced and I enjoy it. The only negativity is in this forums from people like you.
“forced to play without sprint” I was forced to play without it. Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST. And guess what- when I go back and play them, they feel slow. It feels like the game drags on forever with no end. So sprint > no sprint-

You question my intelligence? I deny the existence of yours.

What argument do I need at this point other than I like sprint and always wanted in Halo? What would you say? the maps are designed around it and just increase movement speed and that it lowers your weapon? Or how about the population sales are down because of sprint? or my personal favorite, sprint makes Halo not feel like Halo. Go play CS:GO (that dumb esports game you guys love to toss out there) or Doom if you guys are so upset over sprint. Maybe Halo just isn’t for you anymore.

In Halo media, they are always sprinting because they have to so just stop your negative comments.

> You’re thinking about game mechanics in the wrong way. Its not a matter of “should I sprint or not?”, its a matter of “should players be able to sprint or not?”. You shouldn’t apply real-world logic to every aspect of a game (you know what else Spartans are always doing in the media? Breathing… but it shouldn’t be made into a mechanic because of that, right?). Also, debating the inclusion of a mechanic doesn’t make a comment negative.

Evidently, a larger population of fans enjoy and commend the Sprint mechanic, the mechanic is staying and hopefully nay-sayers like you will change your mind when Halo 6 comes out, maybe it will be tweaked the way you like it, who knows?

Actually I like sprint but the older Halo games are still pretty fun because of the more frequent use of vehicles right?

What the hell are you talking about? CA isn’t the developer of the games, they cooperate with 343 on certain parts of multiplayer development, that’s it.
They’re not replacing 343. And please get that Trump mentality out of here.

Let 343 design the campaign and Certain Affinity design the multiplayer.

Please leave politics out of this, I don’t want an argument inside of another. You’re right, CA only helps create multiplayer maps for different games. However they do have ex-Bungie and Microsoft employees. But overall you’re right anyway.

Because Doom multiplayer was great. (it was worse than Halo 4s multiplayer)

I actually enjoy Doom’s multiplayer way more than I enjoyed Halo 4’s or Reach’s.

I’ve been playing since Halo CE. I’m a veteran Halo player. Halo is still great! Keep sprint. H5’s multiplayer is the best yet!

What you just said, makes no sense. Halo 2 was going to have sprinting, but was cut due to animation errors, don’t act like I’m retarded.

I agree.

I’ve been playing since Halo CE. I’m a veteran Halo player. Halo is still great! Keep sprint. H5’s multiplayer is the best yet!

It should be limited sprinting, like 3 seconds.

Newer generations of gamers (me included) who didn’t grow up with halo are used to fast paced games such as battlefield, cod, and just about every other fps. It’s hard for a slow paced game like the older halos and even the newer ones to attract the gamers so they added sprint. To be honest I like sprint when I don’t have it I feel like a turtle with a gun. Sure you might not like it but your not everyone. 343 also has to appeal to the newer generations as well.

> > Flawed argument. That’s probably because you haven’t grown up with the older games, so sprint is all you know. Everyone and their mother says the new Doom game is one of the fastest paced games out now and it has no sprint. The masses don’t know what they want, they only think they know, that’s why it’s 343’s job to show you want you want. Making a fast paced game without sprint is insanely easy, but nobody - including the devs - cares to think for themselves.

No, it’s still flawed. The only difference between the two of you on the matter is that he hasn’t play the original games and doesn’t understand how sprint isn’t necessary and you have played the original games and you don’t understand how sprint isn’t necessary. That ignorance is what makes what he said flawed.
