I mean in a vacuum it’s not dependent on sprint. Regardless, as far as I understand? spartan charge is suppose to be the answer to Halo 4’s double melee problem that sprint caused. Without sprint, shoulder charge would have to reason to be included. It would be the answer to a problem that doesn’t exist.

I agree keep Sprint because some maps that we make need sprint to run like infection maps like the one I played yesterday.

Sprint has been a talked about issue for years and the single most controversial issue ever in the franchise. You know why you don’t hear so many people complaining anymore? They got fed up and moved on, hence the lowest sales in the series and a low population. You must be new the forums if you think this was never a big deal.

Maybe it’s that big of a deal for you, and I would totally respect that if you could just keep this issue in perspective.

That’s what such a statement is aiming for, which is my main issue with what anti-sprinters are trying to do… What more are you trying to ask for from me? Or are you just trying to neutralize my point?

The one where you say his claim “Simply cannot be defended because it cannot be true”.
I’m asking you to provide reasoning, a base, evidence and such when you berate other for not doing so.
You’re fighting what’s to you a baseless claim with another baseless claim.

So as I pretty much asked, what makes your “counter-claim” any more true than his?
So yes, I do believe you should provide something as you pretty much are asking others to do the same.
Not only that but you quite happily tell me that anti-sprinters (in that form, which is all of us) make something they have an issue with larger of an issue than you decide it can, and should be.
You’ve decided how big of an issue I should make of it, and if I “overshoot” that “target”, I’m at fault, becuase my own personal dislikes are presented in a “larger form” than you’ve set the bar for.

Unfortunately for you, I decide myself how big of an issue I make of things I dislike. You’ll then argue me and anyone else in the same way you expect us to argue.

No, man… The IRS doesn’t play games.

Sorry, I know it’s a typo. I just couldn’t resist.

Sure there is a reduced amount of overall players on Halo since Halo 3; proportionate to the overall percentage of gamers across all games and consoles. But that’s hardly an issue with sprint. Competition from other games and consoles widens and expands the once narrow gaming market. Halo is still doing just fine overall in sales and population since Reach.

I respect and understand why it is that some of you don’t appreciate sprint… What I don’t appreciate is when a vocal minority tries to over represent their opinions and even try to push them as “facts.” Like Frankie said in the pre-launch cycle of the MCC, “-Yoink!- if you do, -Yoink!- if you don’t,” however they try to cater to the MAJORITY when it comes to providing gamers what they want. So when vocal minorities succeed in the over representation of their issues it creates problems IMO. There’s a reason why Halo book writers are discouraged from coming to the forums (Well, quite a few reasons actually, but vocal minorities often tend to skew things for the rest of us)

Do you have any proof that were the vocal minority, because that’s not what the sales and reviews say

Sprint has been a talked about issue for years and the single most controversial issue ever in the franchise. You know why you don’t hear so many people complaining anymore? They got fed up and moved on, hence the lowest sales in the series and a low population. You must be new the forums if you think this was never a big deal.

Maybe it’s that big of a deal for you, and I would totally respect that if you could just keep this issue in perspective.

No, that’s an argument, and unfortunately mood does not translate well into text, as I am calm.

Let’s however pretend we’re actually discussing sprint and you’re telling me 'it’s just a game.".

Yes, it’s a game, and as such I’m not allowed to be passionate about it? The statement “it’s just a game” is another way of saying “don’t take it so seriously”, sometimes those two even follow each other. At least that’s how I’ve learned its usage.
Why can’t I take it as seriously as I take it, in your perspective of course?
I apparently enjoy parts of it more than enough to still be part of the community, whatever that may be, but other parts I don’t enjoy. So I shouldn’t take effort in providing feedback and debate with others on how I think the game would be more enjoyable for me personally?

And I am calm as can be. Reading EON 4 adventures.

You’ve got a right to form your own opinions and this would be a much less contentious (and more productive) thread if all the anti-sprinters felt the same way about pro-sprinters instead of aggressively attacking them for having an opposing viewpoint.

Maybe it’s that big of a deal for you, and I would totally respect that if you could just keep this issue in perspective.

The thing is if you read around you see people against sprint making long detailed and fact based posts about how sprint negatively impacts gameplay, and then you have people that don’t understand

I respect that you feel the way you do about sprint- but a key fallacy and problem with this thread is you fail to recognize that your opinions do not constitute facts. Since you think your opinions are facts and you’re aggressively asserting them as such, all you can do is argue with people who feel otherwise- not constructively debate with them.

Many of our opinions are based upon facts and statistics while most of yours are just, l like sprint or, the game would be to slow without sprint. The second one at least has a point ( I like sprint Dosent matter, this isn’t a poll it’s a discussion about the effects of sprint) but the point of no sprint being too slow can be disproven once again with facts and statistics. It’s a hard concept to understand but the simplest way I can describe it is that I could say that sprint is bad, or I could say that having two movement speeds elongates maps and leads to bad map design. They are both opinions, but one can be backed up with facts and statistics. If you can’t back up your opinion then your opinion dosen’t really matter. It can be my opinion that the sky is purple, but since I can’t back that up at all that dosen’t matter

all I’m saying is that its a game and many other games have it like c.o.d and battlefield so your saying sprint shouldn’t be in any games because it ruins how the original versions were?

Alas, that is only a mere assumption. When you get poles to prove that, only then I think 343 will think about removing it.

It’s a educated and fact based assumption as he is right and we haven’t seen anyone ask for there return

I actually don’t have a problem with Sprint in the campaign or anything. Multiplayer I think should have the option to play in an “old school” playlist. Like back in the days of Halo 2 and 3 where it was more about being methodical. I don’t want to see Sprint taken away. I would just prefer we have the option to play without it on certain playlists and deselect it in custom games if we so choose. Its not about adding or taking away at this point. This is about giving the player options with which to customize and make personal.

While I understand why some people may want to keep sprint in the game, I personally think that it should be removed for Halo 6. My main reason is because I feel the maps are too large now and lack detail. In older Halo’s the maps were smaller yes, but that was made up for in the details put into every level. Also I prefer the Halo games which do not have sprint as it makes engagements more slow and tactical in my opinion.

If 343 wants to please everyone, I feel like it is crucial for them to add an ‘Old school’ or ‘Classic’ style playlist in Halo 6. One where sprint, ground pound etc are omitted in favour of just having the bare bones Halo 1-3 gameplay. If they introduce this, people who enjoy sprint will be happy, and people who do not will be as well.

Sprint has been a talked about issue for years and the single most controversial issue ever in the franchise. You know why you don’t hear so many people complaining anymore? They got fed up and moved on, hence the lowest sales in the series and a low population. You must be new the forums if you think this was never a big deal.

Consider that the forums are likely biased towards people who have problems with the game because people who don’t have problems are less likely to go to forums.

Since sprint was introduced in Reach, there have been dozens of other things that could’ve contributed to player disappointment including other new gameplay mechanics, changes in campaign, and game customization options. It’s completely impossible to attribute the decrease in popularity to any single thing.

My argument doesn’t live or die based on how big a problem people find sprint. Others bring it up as a straw man because they have nothing to actually argue with or support their point. If they did, that - and only that - would be what they present.

Like holy freaking fallacy batman…we’ve given reasons as to why we think it slows down gameplay and have provided evidence as well as some conjecture that sprint may be a reason that people have lost interest since Halo is not as unique. Points you have barely refuted at all and now just say we say whatever to fit our agenda. You’re dodging questions, making baseless assumptions, and strawmanning. You’ve triple dipped in fallacies bro.

I respect that you feel the way you do about sprint- but a key fallacy and problem with this thread is you fail to recognize that your opinions do not constitute facts. Since you think your opinions are facts and you’re aggressively asserting them as such, all you can do is argue with people who feel otherwise- not constructively debate with them.

> Many of our opinions are based upon facts and statistics while most of yours are just, l like sprint or, the game would be to slow without sprint. The second one at least has a point ( I like sprint Dosent matter, this isn’t a poll it’s a discussion about the effects of sprint) but the point of no sprint being too slow can be disproven once again with facts and statistics. It’s a hard concept to understand but the simplest way I can describe it is that I could say that sprint is bad, or I could say that having two movement speeds elongates maps and leads to bad map design. They are both opinions, but one can be backed up with facts and statistics. If you can’t back up your opinion then your opinion dosen’t really matter. It can be my opinion that the sky is purple, but since I can’t back that up at all that dosen’t matter

it is not opinion to say the sky is purple, so far as we’re differentiating between fact and opinion. It is simply factually incorrect.
Opinion is an issue of preference. While facts may be used in the formation of an opinion, the notion that sprint is bad for halo is opinion. You cannot prove it… at least not with the access we have. It would have to be shown that the inclusion of sprint was responsible for poor sales/ratings/population… but that isnt going to happen. There are myriad reasons why halo is not fps #1 these days.
