Understand that your stance is not the end all of this debate and If enough people don’t want to put up with the shotty movement of Halo 5 then they have every -Yoinking!- right to Assert their dismay until they’re catered to. Stop acting like an over irritated soccer Mom and Let Discussions run their course. Sprint’s affect on Map Flow is not Innocent. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself otherwise

If there has been a more scientific poll with an appropriately sized sample base I completely missed it. As far as thread size, how many unique users does it have? How many of them are anti-sprint? This is an echo chamber of like-minded people that’s been going on for a while now. Of course it’s big. That proves nothing in the grand scheme of things.

I don’t think their opinion has any less merit than my own, I just think I’m fortunate enough to be in the majority on this one. And that’s what it all comes down to. I think most halo players these days just want to sprint. If 343 want’s to maximize profits (they’re a business, they are not our bros) then they have to cater to the majority. Some times that’s you, sometimes it’s someone else.

Of course it makes sense. You’re just clouded by confirmation bias.
A poll conducted that captures the opinions of Halo players who still play is not going to capture the opinions of players who are no longer playing. The later group is much larger than the former.
I don’t know if you follow football. But consider this analogy. If you polled people just in Indiana on who the greatest QB of all time is, the poll would probably see Peyton Manning winning in a landslide. However, if you poll the entirety of the US, Peyton Manning would probably place in the 3rd to 5th spot. The poll in Indiana is bias because most people there are colts fans. You’re not capturing the opinions of the other franchises’ fans.
The sprint poll 343 conducted would capture people who are still deeply invested in Halo. Most of THOSE people like how the recent games played. That does not mean that those results would extrapolate out if you started to capture the opinions of people who have lost interest in Halo.
