I mean from your video, I can see you actually learning how to use Infinite’s built in movement features to escape or chase kills, so it’s obvious that you can do it, you just don’t want to.
Stop your Thruster nonsense.

I actually think it’s better since it gives people a chance to recover and now get destroyed if they lost their shield every time
you got an enemy low, they found cover, you expended all your nades, and you’re too far away to chase and finish them off so they survive.
sounds like… halo? this has always been a thing.

Here you go. made just for you.
Won a game without sprinting.
I even removed my paddle so I wouldn’t accidentally touch it
It’s even on the same map too so you can compare the other game

I wasn’t far tho. I was just close enough where if I had a thruster I would’ve got around the corner OR if he didn’t have Sprint he wouldn’t be able to run to said pillar in the first place
I dont think anyone in here is directly flaming you at least initially. You’re getting wins, great! You started off ranting about sprint being bad and no thrusters being bad. Since they are in this game, you received feedback on how to improve.
Everyone has said that your movement abilities can use work.
It was pointed out that poor movement plus missed shots (which we all do of course) contributed to the death you were complaining about.
Your ego replies about how you think you’re great and the feedback didn’t matter because you won (paraphasing) is where things went downhill.
Another guy said he sent you videos to help you on your movement and that you dismissed them.
Winning is great, but you can always win better. Just because you won doesn’t mean there aren’t aspects of your gameplay that cannot be improved upon.

I ended up watching the videos he sent me.
It’ll take some time but I’ll prove Sprint is more of an issue than people make it out to be
True. I could do better.

It’s funny you mention that because in this video I just walk and pistol everyone. Litterally removed my Sprint paddle for the game
Okay no, hold on, I don’t even like Volt much but to say FFA is all luck is just disingenuous. His takes are bad and his movement is bizarre, but he isn’t dreadful at the game to the point we need to deride his skill in FFA. If he’s winning FFAs, good on him, low or high ELO, who cares.
But to say FFAs don’t show any skill is just not accurate. Getting 25 kills is still getting 25 kills no matter how you got them.

Sprint vs no Sprint make no difference in this game. Speed increase is soooo minimal it’s negligible if you have a great aim already.
What Sprint does is enable Slide, which can be treated as this game’s Thrusters (on the level of advanced movement). Puts your hitbox lower, you retain momentum while being able to aim freely. You can even do it from Sprint start and instantly slide, just that your slide is pathetic and you’re just mopping the floor with your butt.
My movement is bizzare. Lmao. I wonder how I look on the other end when people face me. I’m probably suttering everywhere.
This is a new video. Another win. No Sprinting. Not even once

Disagree, but whatever, I’m not gonna start a new argument whether luck-kills are considered skill.

Good because you’d be wrong tbh. I get wanting to dunk on Volt I really do, but outright saying their kills don’t count because they did not start the damage, is just wrong. By that logic, neither do kills in games with teams where you both shoot somebody.

You can’t possibly consider headshotting a freshly unshielded target as skill… cmon man.

I forgot to reply to that other comment you made about the 3:40 on the first video.
In very specific circumstances people will Sprint towards you to melee you and because if the lunge it will connect.
That’s really my point in all of this. It’s not that Sprint litterally by itself is the problem . It’s that it enables things like getting your lunge or doing a crazy slide
Lunge already exists tho, so I don’t see the point.
They could easily run to you and melee too, except if they aren’t sprinting, they can keep shooting before they go for the lunge melee.
In fact, that’s kinda preferred over sprinting for the melee.

Because with the truster pack you can thrust away outside of his lunge.
In halo infinite you cant move backwards fast in any way so if your close enough and they Sprint towards you then backing up will do little to escape the lunge
Yea… but then the opponent can just Thrust forward to ensure your preemptive backward Thrust doesn’t put you out of reach.
Giving everyone thrusters just cancels each other out, but now forces a new gameplay element for players to consider in fights. That just adds more unnecessary brain-game in a shooter which just wants people to jump, run shoot punch each other and find more weapons to give them an edge.
I’d say FFA shows a fair amount of skill, especially if you have the ability to not only win your gunfight, but also kill the other guy who decided he wanted to 3rd Party. Also, like I said, wins are great. Sodium isn’t wrong though, there is a fair amount of luck as well.
The critique of Volts FFA kills began once he let his ego fly out of check like he was super hot shot. That’s when I pointed out that his first double-kill on a video titled double kill machine was him 3rd partying a gunfight with 2 guys broken shields not paying attention to him. Great opportunistic kills, but not worthy of using that to support an ego.
I doubt his killing ability would’ve even come up had he simply left his ego at the door and was receptive to the feedback/ tips he received in regards to his initial complaint.

That’s IF he has a thruster to do that. That was the beauty of the thruster pack. You had to use yours better than the other person and wait at the very last min to use your thrusters
Basically your saying it adds another layer to the game. Which was the fun part about it. Something else to think about. Having to plan your moves better
