“No, you need long play time in order to discuss it here.”

“You don’t have 6 years of Halo played and didn’t participate in G4G and MLG tournies during the prime years of 2007? Get out.” Kappa.

Did I say that it hasnt? If you went to my links, you wouldve found that I confirm midship has been stretched.

The funny thing is I wasn’t a Halo player during Halo CE ~ Halo 4 time and I never had someone telling me “go play more Halo to understand it.” The even more funny thing is most people treat me as one of veterans from years ago and calling me nostalgic Bungie fanboy.

The mistake of 343i is copy to the most popular FPS (COD) thinking that attract more public but did not work and now they suffer the consequences
i agree with your point of view

I don’t know what thread youve been reading, but this one certainly has never been civil. Even long before Sin got here…

Agreed but almost no time played at all doesn’t equal any knowledge in the first place to stand on regarding in-game mechanics. I’m not trying to downplay newcomers to the franchise, I’m just respectfully recommending that they play the game a little bit first.

Just saw this post… But you know remade maps aren’t made to the exact dimensions of developer made maps, be it horizontally or vertically, right? There’s a ton of room for error, which makes that “point” entirely moot.

No it doesnt. If anything, if that is your argument it SHOULD confirm your idea that maps have been stretched when they havent. If remade maps in Halo 5 or Halo 4 truly are stretched, then they should show it. But they dont. If anything, aside from truth, they are smaller.

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.

That’s not what I said at all- you’re misquoting me by paraphrasing me incorrectly

Once more, is a respectful discussion too much to ask for???

> Agreed but almost no time played at all doesn’t equal any knowledge in the first place to stand on regarding in-game mechanics. I’m not trying to downplay newcomers to the franchise, I’m just respectfully recommending that they play the game first (or stick to using one account in the event that’s what they’re actually doing)… Usually people that haven’t played Halo yet won’t immediately take to the forums to tell users to stay on topic in a thread with their first or second post ever regarding in-game mechanics.

I haven’t played the original CE in well over 5 years, but that doesn’t stop me from knowing almost everything about how it works, solely from others teaching me about it, be it by text, or videos of LAN tournaments. It’s very possible to have an educated opinion or knowledge base without actually playing the game. It’s not common, but you shouldn’t really tell someone they need to play the game to understand it more when they may very well understand it, but just not play it.

It just asked players if they wanted to keep flinch/sprint… That’s it- yet it’s important enough for you to cite it.

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

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.

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).

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.

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.

Have you have a chance to make your way to the Roll Call forums yet?

the point is, no sprint= small, close, metrical and complex level design (wolfestein, Doom, Quake). Sprint= big, open, asymmetric and simple level design (Half life, Nuke dukem, Perfect dark) and yeah, the sprint was not created in 2007

I didn’t accuse you of pretending to be like me I asked you to stop quoting me incorrectly.

I never intended to quote you. No offense to you. I was mimicking the general people who tell others like this. I read your post before posting that comment.

Fair enough - I’m just asking people in general to stop misquoting me… It’s getting out of hand and I wouldn’t do that to other people. There are a couple others here that choose to try and twist words around versus engaging in a proactive and respectful discussion about sprint like we’re supposed to be doing in this thread… I like sprint and want it to stay, for all the reasons that I’ve mentioned in this thread yet I’m still objective enough to listen to people who don’t like sprint. I just ask that we respect one another while we debate.

Glad to hear.

> No it doesnt. If anything, if that is your argument it SHOULD confirm your idea that maps have been stretched when they havent. If remade maps in Halo 5 or Halo 4 truly are stretched, then they should show it. But they dont. If anything, aside from truth, they are smaller.

So, you agree, but also downplay it. I don’t think you’ve also responded to my other comments listing off about 10 different maps in regards to non-sprint and sprint Halos and their differences in scaling. But even AT that, Truth and Haven/Mercy both show geometric changes due to sprint/abilities. But it isn’t just limited to remade maps. It’s just very easy to show it with remade maps, especially when they come from the developers themselves. Denying it alone does nothing. You can’t just say “they’re smaller”, because there’s legitimate proof embedded in how the game’s designed that shows otherwise. Stuff I’ve listed and can prove definitely, like gaps in maps that you can’t make without sprint/abilities. Or ledges you can’t get to without sprinting+jumping+clambering.
