Why Exactly do Some of You Want Sprint?

Why exactly do some of you want sprint? Just a simple question. I am simply curious.

We don’t. lol.

> We don’t. lol.

Dont speak for everyone lol. it just makes you look shallow.

OK, let me rename this tread “Why do those of you who want sprint, want sprint?”

I’m guessing you didn’t see the “lol” at the end of my post.

Sprint could work if they severely nerfed it but most of the competitive players such as myself would just not like to see it return. Halo is about knowing how to position yourself and move through a map without the aid from a button that allows you to cross the map in a matter of seconds. Competitive maps are generally smaller and sprint breaks setups very easily.

because I can’t aim and i wanne sprint double beatdown people

Lol Duplicate threads.

I could care less if there was sprint or not.

Really? Oops, sorry.

I just want to see why some people want sprint, how it would benefit their game.

Cause its cool. Why do people dislike sprint?

Until you see how sprint plays halo 4 you cant say say a single thing about how sprint works or not works.

This is fact.

I’m exactly for or against AAs.
Though I agree that Sprint does somewhat ruin the original gameplay.
It’s great for Campaign and Custom games…
But having someone run across the map and beat you down before you can even empty the clip is just… frustrating. -_-

Because…

> The inclusion of Sprint impacts map design negatively.
> Suddenly we end up with stretches of no man’s land in order to give players time to get shots on sprinting players, and this then has a knock on effect for the players who want to play some real Halo and remove the gimmicks by messing up map flow.

> Sprint offers no positives to the game - it’s nothing but a crutch to help prop a player back up after a poor decision or a way to invalidate a couple of seconds of the respawn time by rushing straight back into the battle. It hurts flow above all else, and seeing sprinting in Halo just draws parallels to a lot of modern FPS games, however it works in those games because of the quick killtimes and instant respawns. As mentioned previously Halo is a game about control, and giving players the ability to have bursts of speed on a whim negatively impacts the ability to control a game by making it less predictable.

> Predictability is the most important aspect of competition and sprint allows people to make themselves unpredictable without even trying, thus lowering the skill and intelligence needed to outplay another team or player mentality. As a player I find it insulting to my intelligence be given an easy mode button like that; I don’t want answers thrust upon me, I want to figure it out myself. Hence Sprint does indeed reduce the depth of the game, particularly from a mental standpoint.

Agreed.

Well we know sprint isn’t scooting around on your butt…

Honestly, there are only so many ways sprint could work.

Why do you ask this question only to rebut with why you and others don’t like it. This thread has existed for ages, even the forerunners are getting tired of this question. It’s only a trap to flame. We’ve been through this time and time again.

Activates halo to rid this forum of sprint threads You are parasites.

Because when I make bad decisions all game I still want to live.

Well that true but also, in the 5 seconds of gameplay we did see, we saw sprint used twice in a way that i think does not fit with the Halo gameplay.(sprint double beatdown)
