***UPDATE 2.0*** SPRINT: OFFICIAL POST A WAY TO FIX SPRINT

Welcome to the Official Sprint Post, A Way to Fix Sprint

Introduction

As you all know, Sprint took an active roll in Halo Reach, giving players the mobility to explore and manoeuvre parts of the map. A new intake on Halo completely (not to mention assassinations). Sprint was one of the greatest implements to Halo (I am not biased! This is not meant to insult anyone!), but whats that? Nobody likes it? Why you might ask. Because many players find that it slows down gameplay and gameflow. By having Sprint, you not only give players the opportunity to explore the map faster… But you also give them a reason to evade. Something that many players are constantly reminded of when ever they loss an opportunity to kill an opponent because of quick evasion. Iv’e noticed that many of you fellow Halo fans are not happy with Sprint, this bothers me just like Sprint bothers you. Why do I care? Because I TOO am a Halo fan, I am one of you and nothing more! I present this form to you today in hopes of a FULL resolution to the arguments of Sprint! Please, I now Welcome!

A Way To Fix Sprint!

My Solution

Its very easy indeed! It even involves the use of CLASSIC genuine Halo material (haha you see what I did there? I knew you’d like!). All it is really, is the use of…

Power-ups! Explanation

Now I know that some of you out their may judge me by my solution. But please let me finish what I am going to say. My solution is the use of power ups. You know? Those Red and Blue thingies that give you superpowers (not really).

Anyways, on a serious note, I know that many of you are tired of armer abilities (as am I). So I came up with this solution to resolve the problems. Basically what my solution is, is to use a custom power up that gives you the ability to Sprint (if not that, than move faster). This would make game play fair because it creates Sprint as a Power Weapon, power weapons are generally located in precarious parts of the map (like the centre). Doing this will remove Sprint from the load outs, and potentially erase it from other maps (like small ones). I do realize that some players like Sprint and others don’t, that is why Sprint would now be in the form of a power up, that would last for a few seconds. Now, that means that only GOOD players would be rewarded with Sprint (as they have to fight for it) and BAD players won’t be able to use it for Bad purposes. This also means that Sprint (as a power up) won’t necessarily be in all maps. Which would help out the players who dislike Sprint. Also, if you don’t like Sprint, you now won’t have to use it. As it will be in the form of a power up, not a load out. With this idea, we can also replace the use of Armerlock, and Active camo as load outs. And instead use their power up forms (Armer lock being Overshields, and Active Camo being… well. Active Camo).

Ending

All good things must come to an end. But I will assure you that I will make a return in future posts! If you enjoyed this thread, or have comments that you’d like to make, please feel free to express them. I will except ALL answers!

Please Halo Community, do not judge me for this post. And please remember that I too am one of you!

KEEP IT CLEAN

UPDATE 2.0 ENDED

You don’t “fix” a cancer, you…

KILL IT WITH FIRE!

please feel free to vote for your answer then :slight_smile:

I agree with you make sprint a custom power up that’s a good idea.

NO, the last thing I want to see is people fighting over a sprint power-up when you can have it set default to everyone.

Thank You so much for this comment!
Its people like you that give me these inspirations!

Vote if you haven’t already.

you dont fix cancer, you remove it.

> you dont fix cancer, you remove it.

So I’ve heard. Might I ask you this. How do you remove a cancer if you cannot fix it?

> > you dont fix cancer, you remove it.

it’s called surgery: removing the effected organ out of the body. Remove sprint out of Halo and let halo be halo.

Umm…

And if the effected area is a place of value, then surgery becomes unnecessary and impossible to perform.

I’ll give you some time to actually understand what I am trying to say…

This, Halo is Halo, not cod, it is like Unreal Tournament or Quake, it does not need sprint, sprint is the cancer that will ruin the new trilogy, just like AA’s and loadouts ruined reach.

YAY! Another sprint thread. I’ll just add this to my collection.
Kinda OT: How is the official?

It is official because I am potentially among the first to actually declare it. Plus this is the official solution form to Sprint. So please do not get that mixed up.

“Official” isn’t a word that should be tossed around so much.

Are you sure it is ONLY Sprint? Please re-read your statement and you’ll soon notice what you have left out.

I know, and I hope that the Halo Community realizes that too. Again, if you have read this post you’ll notice that I too am just another halo fan like you.

I feel like you have not entirely read this post. Please read the FULL post to really get an understanding of my idea before you comment.

Only thing that needs to be removed are the cancer in the community that “know” what Halo should be and fly the “competitive” flag as their war flag against the casual horde.

Sprint is in it is staying talk about how you might like it implemented.

Types of implementation:

Unlimited sprint: Gears of War/Battlefield

Energy bar with cool down recharge: Star Wars Battlefront/Halo Reach

Sprint pick up: Unreal Tournament/Halo 3

How I suggest Halo 4 implement sprint that is going to be in the game is have a play be slowed by damage taken while sprinting. Players will move faster while not being shot at and the cool down will be enough so using sprint will be used more tactically and sparingly. Jumping or tuning will drain the energy bar faster than normal.
