Sprint should be commensurate to your “health” or “shield” … Just as the speed boosts for a Wraith are. Infinite speed for a Spartan is both ludicrous and poppycock. Most of H5G is nothing more than a cartoonyloony replica of what HALO really is.

If a Wraith runs out of super speed, yet has a super nuclear type engine, how can a Spartan sustain super speed + speed boost + weapon speed boost + armor speed boost + Armor Mod speed boost … let’s be real, this is borderline cheating + we haven’t added those fools that actually cheat.

So, get off yourself. Get rid of nonstop sprint, use your boosts, stop selling them & violla. Lé solutión mon ami

Why do we reload our weapons? Doom doesn’t have reloading! We shouldn’t have to reload because it puts us at a disadvantage!

So you’re saying Halo should follow Dooms example of not developing its gameplay according to what other games are doing? I completely agree.

Oh! I’ve just been told MS official response to anti-sprinters! “Do you think we care what you think? We don’t give a sh*t what you think!”

Since you couldn’t tell I was being sarcastic. Almost all anti-sprinters use the argument that lowering your weapon while running puts you at a disadvantage, so I made a joke argument that we shouldn’t have to reload our weapons.

No, almost nobody is saying that. It’s seems you haven’t been paying attention to the argument if you think that’s what we’re saying.

Idk what forums you’ve been writing on about sprint because that is the number 2 answer given on this website to why sprint should go. The no.1 answer is becuz it turns Halo into CoD.

You clearly just don’t understand the arguments, assuming you’ve been reading them at all. Re-read this thread if you’re interested in educating yourself.

I’ve been on this thread for days and all I’m reading is “get rid of sprint becuz _” it’s stupid and annoying. Sprint ads variety to movement that an increased movement speed won’t accomplish. The old Halos were stuck in the stone age movement wise. There is no reason why we can’t clamber, sprint, or slide, in a video game. I used to only like Halo for it’s story and now I actually like the gameplay, the few things about the originals that I liked were the weapons, and shields. If the radar went back to 25m then all will be well.

I don’t care about making halo halo again, I care about player mobility

I would hate having the gameplay slowed down and dumbed down again. I sincerely hope 343 keeps the new abilities and infinite sprint with no charging shields as the balancer.

If being Halo means slowly walking around and trying to get behind cover at a lumbering pace, then Halo 6 shouldn’t be Halo. They should build off of Halo 5’s new mechanics and infinite sprint, not revert back to older Halo games.

Te game is evolving dude so every spartan todo so its ok to introduce more technology to the universe

If you’ve been reading this thread, you must not have been reading it very well, since that’s not what everyone has been saying. You also seem to have not understood why your reasons are very flawed for a number of reasons, since we explained that as well.

Luckily that’s not what it means.

Really, because when I shoot my super shotgun twice I reload.
Besides, some guns in Halo don’t reload. Storm rifle, plasma rifle, incineration cano, beam rifle, plasma pistol, etc.

There’s no reason why you can’t clamber or slide without sprint.

H5 feels very clunky in comparison to games like doom(no sprint) and overwatch(no sprint). Games that have long kill times feel very clunky and awkward with sprint because unlike in a game like COD where people die pretty much instantly you’re going to be dropping out of sprint for 1/2/3/4+ seconds at a time. When you’re not sprinting you feel incredibly slow.

Meanwhile in a game like overwatch or doom, you feel fast all the time.

What does the Halo community think about having an option similar to disabling the assassination animation were you can essentially optout.

and maybe keep the ability to spartan charge, slide and increase the distances of jumping by allowing the option to hold the corresponding button for the same duration it takes to build up sprint speed to do so.
or something similar
Just an idea.

I personally have been trying to develop the habit of not using sprit for that I find myself playing more efficiently and less likely to repeat negative strategy only to progressively become impatient and frustrated.
I know it wouldn’t solve my problem but I have not the time to sit down a retrain my playing habits.
just like I gave up on switching over to bumper jumper even tho I play more effectively and have the options to increase my maximum efficiently.
maybe more people would become or stick around if they had an easy way out of they have the same issue and myself.

( I also F n dislike that you can not exit the vehicles during the boarding animations. I know there are strategies to deal with such and I would not change it just feat like venting )
