Point is that you told me and others that our pro sprint opinions are worthless if we don’t explain ourselves yet no one who voted in those polls that mean so much to you now had to explain themselves. Once again those opinions matter to you because they support your opinion- opinions that don’t support your own never seem to matter to you- such as all the polls that sprint did win in these forums

Under your logic you shouldn’t ever reference a poll again because they don’t have to back up their opinions to vote in those polls.

You have no basis to say something like that in the first place and people don’t have to and shouldn’t listen to you in the first place…

It takes a really special kind of person to bring that out of me, I guess because even if I disagree with someone I feel they ought to be able to discuss. As such I doubt that I’ll ever have any future in that profession.

It can be done if it’s warranted I suppose, but you can’t really justify telling someone that their opinion is worthless no matter who you are. Especially when zr0fear is going to reference opinions from polls to try justify their own stance.

And I actually have debated this issue in this thread with a lot of people and I’ve been learning a lot about why anti-sprinters want it removed. It’s been eye-opening for me in a lot of ways, but I still want sprint to stay.
> > >
> > > And even though I do feel that this thread itself was kept alive by a few anti sprinters way after it arguably should have died- I’m actually glad to have partaken in the discussion to learn a little more about why some people don’t like sprint, and more importantly to discuss potential “solutions,” or really just ideas from fellow fans regarding how 343i could address this issue in the next Halo installment. Some anti sprinters don’t want to compromise- to those few it’s “all or nothing,” which is perpetuating the problem itself (and really doing a disservice to themselves in the end of the day because that inability to compromise is not going to get anyone anywhere).

> Interesting… Post #2 (your very first post on Waypoint being earlier today in this thread) for a Recruit - Iron that has barely played Halo (on that account) urging me to stay on topic in a thread they just got to… Quite interesting… If you actually are brand new to Halo, first of all welcome to the forums!! You should start out by paying a visit to the Roll Call forums to introduce yourself. I also respectfully recommend playing a little bit of Halo before you engage in a thread regarding one of it’s gameplay mechanics.

> Either way I’ve been on topic- I’ve offered multiple reasons why sprint should stay. I’ve also listened to anti-sprinters and respectfully debated this issue with them. That post you quoted was me describing why it’s going to be imperative for anti sprinters and sprinters to be able to come to some common ground in order to make this issue constructive. That’s about as on-topic as it can get.
1 - “Just got to” as in lurking long enough to see you disagree with this thread’s existence, yet spam irrelevant complaints towards others while failing
to refute multiple argument they made references sprint. Also long enough to see explanations of why sprint is poor for gameplay, such as altered map design, altered aim assist/bullet magnetism, and shortening skill gap through less punishment of poor plays and other stuff. Rank isn’t a good indications anything, so I suggest you don’t assume anything based solely off of it.
2 - You directly stated in the post that you refused to discuss sprint - the topic this thread is about - because you thought they were being disrespectful. And you failed to discuss sprint’s impact on gameplay, once again, in this latest post. I find that more interesting than how much time it says I’ve played on this account. The most sprint I’ve seen you discuss until your last few posts revolved around a misunderstanding of previous sprint polls that were quickly and easily explained.
I enjoy seeing Sprint-related discussion to see just how big an impact it has, and you’re making that difficult. Anyway, hopefully 343 has taken note of some of the better points made in this thread. There’s been some careful looks at the gameplay, which should certainly take precedence over lore MP.
