If that’s what he meant, it has nothing to do with sprint and most Doom fans will tell you as much. That’s also reflected in how fast paced and fun people say the Campaign is which obviously doesn’t have sprint.

True enough but if these charts include campaign players then that only makes things worse.

I just want spartan charge removed. sprints is okay.

Oh yeah, PC players hate Doom. It didn’t stick to it’s roots in the MP. PC is where the big Arena crowd is and people have been Yoinking! on Doom since the beta.

1,000 likes for you, sir, as you have hit the nail on the head.

ahh… charge is ok. it´s so funny to run someone in the back when he is in zoom or don´t notice you.

and on the other side it´s easy to not hit by a carge, thruster or step to the left or right and hit him in the back.

The MP is really bad. It’s a lot like h4 where it’s close to being good but then it got royally screwed up. It has loudouts, perks and random power up and power weapon spawns. Oh and a monster from evolved every so often.

Sigh

The campaign is amazing though. As is the sprintless movement.

Ehhh, Halo is better without sprint.

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 these 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. Don’t get me wrong I had fun playing halo 3(my first halo and firs Xbox game) but ounce I got to other games like battlefield and even cod I noticed how slow the gameplay actually was.

No, it’s not.

If you don’t want sprint, there is MCC and custom games

Lol what?

Hce is so fast. Try playing that game against anyone good or play it 4v4. It’s like CoD4 on shipment lol.

same what i say so often, but the guys want a “new” Halo 2 or 3…

> 2533274856059836;470:

If you do want sprint there is reach, h4, h5 and custom games.

See how dumb of an arguement that is?

Yet another whiney, nostalgic, 343 era hater. Nothing to see here.

I’ve played it plenty on PC, 360 and One. I’ve probably put more hours into CE than I have in most of the games I’ve played in the last 5 years combined. I know the pacing of the game, it is not the fastest.

Ugh, godddamn hardcore halo fans. I’ve been a fan since halo CE, but not hardcore enough to not let the game evolve more. Please 343 don’t listen to this guys, they’re a minority and they’re creepy. Don’t remove sprint.

We just need better campaign story ( agood one actually), split screen a truly evil nemesis (please not Cortana) and there, we have the perfect game.

But sprint is bad in the sense that it needlessly forces maps to get bigger, which forces weapon range to increase as a whole, which takes away from a lot of Halo’s special CQC. Sprint is simply an illusion for that reason, only serving for what people like to call “immersion.” However, I think its more immersive when these soldiers are moving in a more tactical manner as opposed to everyone sprinting for every 2 yards they need to cover, which doesn’t really look immersive at all. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.”
