This is an important topic. Sprint was never originally in halo and weather you like it or not it is a MASSIVELY divisive feature. If 343 decided to remove sprint from halo 6 (i pray to god they do) then would you stop playing halo 6. If yes then are you actually a fan of halo or just a fan of fast passed games. And if no then why do you care if sprint is in the franchise or not when more successful halo’s have not needed sprint when their competitors did (Cod, Battlefield etc).
No but I’m really not that bothered about sprint.
I will say when going back to MCC not having sprint is infuriating as all hell, especially Halo 3. It may not be any slower but it feels torturous plodding around the map but that might just be Halo 3’s movement system.
I wouldn’t stop playing halo as I’ve played the original halo and I play other pvp games that lack sprint. So I wouldn’t stop playing it but just because I wouldn’t stop playing it doesn’t mean if I had a choice I’d choose for sprint to be removed. Over all I enjoy using sprint so if ur asking me do I want sprint gone, the answer is no. But if ur asking me will I stop playing halo just cause the removed sprint the answer is I’ll most likely still play halo.

The point is sprint is a massivly devise feature that was never originally meant for halo because it wasn’t designed for halo’s maps and gameplay. By having sprint in the game you have to redesign the entire game for it to work (increasing bullet magnetism, increasing map size etc) and thus the gameplay you are now playing is not halo. eople defend sprint because they prefer it but it is not meant for halo nor was halo designed for it.
The point of this is, you may want it in game but if you wouldn’t leave if it were removed then don’t bother defending it, because a large amount of people ARE leaving because it IS in game. If a feature is this devise and results in large amounts of players leaving yet those who stay won’t leave if it were removed then you have to ask yourself. Is sprint worth it in the long run?
Sprint is worth it. Also just because it wasn’t originally in halo doesn’t mean it’s not halo or its not meant for halo. I don’t know where people got that idea. Games change just like anything in life. The 3 pointer wasn’t originally a part of basketball but just because it is now doesn’t mean we are all of a sudden not playing or watching basketball. Just saying sprint wasn’t originally part of halo and therefore isn’t halo makes absolutely zero sense.

The idea came from what actually defines a halo game. The maps, the combat system, the bullet magnetism and aim assist. In halo’s 1 to 3 these were more or less consistent and thus are all what defines a halo game (in terms of the chief saga). If you want sprint in a halo game it can go into a spin off. That’s why Reach is usually given a free pass on this despite having criticism of the map design and combat system. That’s why halo wars is a damn fine game because it is not a squeal to the chief saga despite it being an RTS. If you so desperately want sprint in halo then have it in a spin off game. But in the chief saga we expect a large amount of constancy in terms of combat. And don’t give me that “halo needs to evolve” crap. Play halo 1 2 and 3 and tell me they are the same game. They are all different and evolve off each other in fantastic ways but still don’t need to change the base gameplay to do it. If you want faster gameplay then simply increase base movement speed, you don’t need to add in sprint.

Your stance that just because we have sprint and therefore it’s not halo still doesn’t hold water. Like I say many many things change from its inception to its end in all aspects on life. Simply having a change doesn’t mean the thing itself is no longer what it is. If that were true then everything as soon as there is a change to it we might as well call it something else.
Also you created this poll. I’m just giving you my opinion. If you don’t like it don’t create polls. Polling is meant to get people’s opinions lol. And no I’m not giving you any evolving crap. Of course the game has evolved in other ways. I never said it didn’t but having sprint is just one other way the game has changed just like all the other ways.

Sprint alone is not what changed halo into a game which cannot be defined as halo. It is the culmination of choices made by 343. These include, Change in art style, music style, adding sprint, ADS, thruster pack, change in sound design, Spartan charge, slide, removal of fundamental game modes, i could go on like this for a while. By making those changes and many many more then yes the game has lost it’s identity of being halo. If you still think that it hasn’t what would it take on top of this massive pile? Changing the names of things in game? What?

That is a difference of opinion my friend. You say these changes has changed halo into a different game while I say it has enhanced it’s experience for me (at least for H5). I can’t convince you otherwise nor is it my goal to. Once again a difference of opinion is what the purpose of polling is so I have mine and you are most certainly allowed to have yours. To me the soul of halo is still there. So as long as I feel like it’s still there I’ll continue to play it until the day I don’t have that feeling. Now what comprises that feeling for me? It’s hard to define but it’s different from person to person. I’m just here to give you my opinion and nothing more.
We have a large on-going topic regarding sprint in the Halo 5 forums. Best to keep the discussion flowing there
