This game is also -Yoink- because their is hardly any playlists, over-powered automatic weapons, and -Yoink- ranking system. It baffles me that their is no doubles playlist or snipers playlist.
Not to mention the competitive settings are garbage.
I Like sprint.

That’s fine. Whenever you get to it. It’s an interesting site all the same.
It doesn’t make sense for a super soldier in the 26th not being able to sprint. Even in the cut scenes in game or in animated movies they sprint, so it wouldn’t make sense for them not being able to sprint in game
I think keeping sprint would add more strategy, no being able to sprint would limit mobility and you couldn’t make any sort of thought out plays.

How does this make any sense?

I disagree
If sprint were a requirement for having strategy, we wouldn’t have had any strategy in the old games. We had plenty of thought out plays before sprint was shoved into Halo.
I like sprint. It works and has been in the last 3 halos. Including the last one bungie made. Idk why this community is so adverse to changes. These aren’t even new changes. No wonder other fps games sell so much better. If you asked me, if everyone stopped complaining halo would finally be what it once was. Fun and not annoying and empty feeling.

I’d like to interject. So, Overwatch doesn’t have sprint, aside from one character. So are we saying that other games are popular without sprint? If we’re going to use Over watch as an example of a “sprintless” game, you also have to include what Overwatch does have, not just what it is lacking. It also has classes - characters with unique abilities. It’s not even close to an apples to apples comparison. It’s a completely different thing altogether.

Great question. Teleporters, man cannons and vehicles are great for getting across large maps. As a plus, they’re also faster than sprinting. I know it’s crazy, right!? Who knew that you can use things to get across large maps that actually worked in past Halo games before sprinting was introduced. If you look at the majority of the replies in this thread, you would think that those things weren’t even invented.

But it’s k when people ignore every other potentially unique factor of a sprintless Halo game and assume it would be an exact clone of a previous game.

Yes. Because it’s a Halo to Halo comparison.

It doesn’t make sense for a super soldier in the 26th not being able to prone. Yet we still don’t have proning and it doesn’t hurt the game to not have it. In the cut scenes they also do flips, but we don’t have those either.

I’m not saying Overwatch is popular because it doesn’t have sprint, just showing that sprint isn’t necessary to have in a shooter in order for it to be both fun and popular. The year doesn’t dictate what what game mechanics are necessary or better for a game.
> 2535463819817812;1023:
> that’s ridiculous. Sprint doesn’t take away from any aspect of the game. If anything, it ads to the competitiveness. Also helping mobilization in bigger map areas. Good luck trying to play btb strongholds or ctf and only being able to walk briskly to your objectives. It also assists when your sheilds are down and need to run for cover. Or if you need to run up on a tank/mantis before they fire a canon and destroy it. Even in close quarters it proves beneficial. You can Spartan charge mid air only while sprinting. And it helps to charge the -Yoink- out of players around close corners. Need I go on?
If you think no sprint makes the game slower your sooooo wrong, a ce 2v2 to 50 on blood gulch takes the same time as a 2v2 to 25 on any h5 map, higher BMS is key

But we’re comparing today to a 10 year old game? A different time altogether. It’s not 2007. That ship has long since sailed. Personally, I don’t think it’s the fault of Halo, but due to the success of other games. Maybe Halo just isn’t popular anymore. Times change and tastes change. People move on. I don’t listen to hair metal from the 80’s or grunge from the 90’s anymore. There’s much more new and exciting things that grab my interest.
I really hope that you do get the game you want. I truly do. One that hearkens back to the heyday or golden age of Halo. No sprint, no abilities, equal starts, no clamber or charge, BR starts, whatever. I’ll still play it. I still love Halo. Why I want to see it happen is because I’m genuinely curious as to how that game will fair in this market and time period. The market has grown considerably, and there are more games than ever. Holding market attention is no mere feat. There has to be something unique to your product to hold an audience. Something your competition doesn’t have. Halo was a pioneer in this respect, bringing fps to console. Now? I’m curious if a modernized version of the classic can hold it’s ground without any of the things these forums lament so much.
We spend so much time debating what needs to be removed to make it like the old days. Maybe it has nothing with any of that. Maybe there are just other and new alternatives that people want to play? I don’t know. I think we spend way too much time wrapping ourselves around the axle about how to capture the past in the present.
WRONG! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, sprint allows you to get back into the battle quicker. Hell sometimes, on bigger maps, I would like sprint to be even faster! KEEP SPRINT!!!
To all the sprint threads we had, how did this one came the most popular one?
