[Locked] The sprint discussion thread

343 have changed Halo. They are not Bungie and it needs to progress, otherwise the only players would be people who are fans since Halo CE or 2. 343 are innovating Halo, for better and for worse

Keep the sprint.

What innovations have they brought to the table?

The thing with doom is that it did its own thing... in the single player. The multiplayer is a forgettable cod knock-off, although fun, takes too much from others that it isn't really that unique.

Because of this the multiplayer has kind of faded away and no one even talks about it anymore (it has less views on twitch than halo, a console exclusive game). Hell the doomworld forums hate the multiplayer (which is odd considering people on a fan site seem to hate parts of the game they are fans of while non fans of the series love the multiplayer... )

Doom, even though it had a great campaign, is suffering from modern game syndrome where people play it for a month and love it until they eventually forget about it.

Edit: and finally another point; doom 2016 plays nothing like the original, but they are similar. Classic doom had insane movement and a heavy emphasis on map pickups. Nu Doom has a load out system and SIGNIFICANTLY lower speed. In essence it took the basics of that game and changed it to plau more like modern shooters, it isn't the old game with minor innovations.

Doom definitely has some drawbacks. But in the aspect of movement, which is what this thread is about, I think Doom has done very well staying true to its movement system of old. (Hint: it didn't add sprint.)

how much will you be able to loose halo and sprint doesn't work they stripped it from halo 2 alpha they knew it wouldn't work with halo so they removed added in halo 4 learned the hard way it doesn't belong for some stupid reason they decided lets change halo this wont bother halo fans no not at all removed playable eliets cause the models couldn't handle sprint so alpha eleits were removed because of the time frame regular Spartan shields made combat to challenging so that had to go couldn't have leading bullets because sprint made the engine derp so they kept hit scan so then game modes were dropped so people had to play warzone to buy reqs money money money does anybody miss when people made games for the passion of it and not because of money anybody miss when games tried to improve instead of changing to appeal to everyone who doesn't play the game let the coments begin

Id rather keep sprint.

I concur.

But why though. No one's saying why (or at least giving legitimate reasons on why it's a good thing for Halo/Halo needs it).

Because we like having a second gear. More tactical options. Its not like everyone is just sprinting constantly. Sprint thrusting and clambering just compliment each other.

More tactical options that limit your options once in use. That equates to less variety as you play.

I feel like at this point, Halo 6 would feel disconnected from Halo 4/5 without sprint, but in future installments, I agree we need to be rid of sprint.

Halo has not been halo since halo 2.

have you somehow forgotten halo 3?

H3 sucked.

Honestly just leave. Halo 3 was the best Halo to date. It blended everything perfectly, brought new weapons, introduced forge, had awesome BTB maps, and a truly amazing physics engine. Halo 3 was, and always will be, better than Halo 2 in my opinion.

The firing rate on the pistol was terrible! Swat was a pain in the -Yoink-! The hit boxes were almost non existent! And I felt like I was walking through a thick syrup.

I have to agree that the pistol in Halo 3 was probably the worst pistol in Halo history and next to useless. Although Swat is completely skill (and connection) based. I don't know if this is true, but I think what you were talking about that the hit-boxes are very small was because of the fact that instead of using hitscan (if you fire, whatever is in your reticle takes damage) the game used projectile bullets that had to travel, albeit very fast, to it's target. I personally feel like projectile bullets are better for Halo because in open maps like Sandtrap, if the game used hitscan, if you were in an open area it was a death sentence. Anyone could easily land every hit with their BR on you and it would be near impossible to survive. And I, personally, again, think that sprint doesn't belong in Halo, and not because of anything that seriously affects gameplay. If Halo didn't have sprint, it would be drastically different compared to games like CoD and Battlefield, and it would be its own unique experience, which I deeply value in a game. However, I'm not completely against thrusters from Halo 5. I think that abilities like Spartan charge, ground pound, sliding, and clamber don't belong in Halo, but thrusters on their own would make the game very fun, but still simple. Only basic movements and the ability to dodge around grenades and stuff.

And please, 343, don't add wall-running...

One more:
Listen, I don't hate Smart-scope. But why do I float in the air when I use it?! Why doesn't my Spartan do that any other time? It makes no sense!!
