There is no denying that this game has devolved into a “Sprint away if you’re shot at” Everyone you catch off guard/out of position or you’re just winning a duel results in the player sprinting away. If you decide to chase them it usually ends up being your own demise because the players team are usually where he is running to.
So much for the stopping power preventing this, in Slayer Pro games it’s too easy to break away from combat, this is especially an issue on Adrift with it’s tight corners and bends. I seriously do not understand why sprint needs to be in this game, especially in Slayer Pro. Sprint was added so you can get from one destination to the other, yet they made the maps bigger to compensate having sprint? To me that makes it redundant if you’re going to make the maps bigger.
Sprint has also essentially made it impossible to have great maps like Lock Out or Midship, and even though they’ve made the maps larger, I’ve found in the BTB games that I’ve played (I’m a Slayer Pro player) is that Half the map is usually dead, makes me feel as if these large maps are also unnecessary.
Agreed,but I doubt 343 will remove an important feature like the sprint.We can’t even do it in custom games.

Which is even more of a problem, Custom games are barely “customizable” I long for Halo 3’s custom games, just with more options.
So sprinting is the reason? Honestly the ability to sprint is not a good enough reason to complain about.
If you can’t seem to land a kill cause your target “ran away” or ducked under cover, you obviously suck.
Granted that there are deeper issues that need to be fixed.
I agree with this post so much. I long for smaller maps + the removal of sprint,but as everyone sees it that would be a step back in halo development. I see it as a step forward. Faster gameplay, much more enjoyable maps. Without sprint, all of the midsize maps on halo 4 could just become freaking BTB maps aside from haven/adrift/abandoned.
I dont think we’ll ever see the halo we used to have again. The Core gameplay in halo 4 is there though, so im excited for MLG playlist/ and custom games TU (hopefully). Just because sprint/AA’s aren’t my thing, i realize others like these additions.
