That literally doesn’t solve the problem in any way.
“Don’t like world hunger, stop eating”
Makes no sense.
I liked halo when there was no sprinting involved. Yes it makes the campaign longer but it doesn’t ruin it that much.

This is fundamentally flawed. World hunger IS a problem. You’re comparing apples to oranges. And its an objective opinion that sprint is a “problem”

Isn’t the point of swat no shields and insta-kill headshots? There’s multiple ways to get kills, why should everyone be restrained to only shooting?

It proves that you can get kills without buffalo charging or killing someone with Supermans entrance.

It’s true, it puts you at an definitive disadvantage to not use sprint when everyone else is using it. There simply isn’t any logic to not using it simply because you don’t want it to be in the game

It can also show that you have skill with the weapon being used.

There are people who don’t think world hunger is a problem. Population control, overpopulation, diehard free market believers, etc.
I also think you’re looking for the word “subjective” there, not “objective”.

But if your just doing that I swat you’re likely to lose. They are just additional tactics to use. Halo isn’t just about getting as many kills as possible with precision weapons and only precision weapons, no mater the game mode.

But I think Spartan Abilities contradict the objective of SWAT, which is to kill an enemy by shooting enemy’s head.

Yes that is the main focus, doesn’t mean they should be removed. Melee has always been a part of swat, or snipers. Spartan abilities are an evolution of that. And they are most easily countered in swat as well. You are more likely to be killed trying to ground pound in swat than actually landing a successful around pound.

I just like Halo…sprint or not, I’m happy I have a new game. I’m also really not trying to read this entire thread to form an opinion lol. Agree with me or disagree with me, I’ll still play everyday.

Not sure if you witnessed the revival of this thread. When the debate was over, anti-sprinters stopped posting on this thread. They never bumped this thread to get attention. It was pro-sprinters who posted comments and started new discussion, like “I like sprint,” or “Why is it still alive???” They are the one who bumped this thread to the top and started new discussion with anti-sprinters. If those people didn’t comment, this thread would have been dead long ago.

It’s NOT HALO. the fact that Sprint is in halo and has caused this much stirring just says why this was not a good idea. It’s doing numbers on the community. And we just want a game where old and new fans can come together and play a game that we love. That’s all.

> For me personally, I was one of those who left/Played less when Reach came out, and it was really upsetting to not enjoy the newer Halo’s as much as 2/3. Halo 5 brought me back into Halo full force and it is once again the only game I play. H5 has sprint, but so does Reach and H4 - I hated H4 and moderately enjoyed Reach, and sprint was never the reason I played those games less than the previous ones. Like I said thats my personal reason. So I’m not using it as an argument. I actually understand some of the arguments against sprint even though I disagree with them, but I do not think it’s valid to say that it’s the reason for the decline of the series.
That’s a very good and well thought out way to put things. Pretty much everything you said is valid.
Could we please stop the discussion about why this thread is alive (and the fact that it is alive)? The reality is that there’s no one group to blame (or thank, depending where you stand), and it is a combination of
- active discussion in the thread - the mod team redirecting sprint topics to this thread - people commenting the thread being alive/not locked/having a high post countThis thread would’ve died if there wasn’t a significant amount of active interest in sprint on the forums. This thread would’ve died like threads before it had we not redirected traffic to it. (It likely would not have died had people wanting it to die not posted in it as, despite the steady flow of spam, the frequency of those posts is not significant. So, unfortunately we don’t get to appreciate the irony of that.)
But right now, it’s here, alive, and there has never been a point at which anybody who doesn’t like it couldn’t just have ignored it. So, let the people who want to discuss sprint discuss sprint, and anybody who isn’t happy with that arrangement can ignore the discussion. After all, the great thing about forums is that you don’t have to comment on threads you’re not interested in.

Maybe you shouldnt have changed the title because you thought it was relevant. There was already a Sprint topic and it died but because of the original title, that is what got the attention.

So does strafing, jumping, crouching, nades, and your own map movement creativity. Sprint doesn’t add anything of significance to encounters.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. The decision to direct all traffic into this thread was made months ago because this was by far the most active sprint thread at the time with over a thousand posts (at the time). The title I changed just yesterday to better reflect the status of this thread.
