No it wasn't. They attempted it and decided against it because it caused pacing issues.

So a mechanic that you are alleging Bungie wanted to put in Halo 2 wasn't even put in Halo 3 because of time constraints? You realize there was 3 years in between those games right?pugwash1 wrote:Due to time constraints same with that level that shower at e3 years agoRickyMartinLIVE wrote:Yet it wasn't.

If you don't like sprint, don't sprint. Problem solved.
not sprinting is punishing because the game had to be made around it.
Lol you -Yoinking!- serious? I can see them cutting it from Halo 2 because of last minute time restraints (that's not why they cut it but that argument at least makes sense), but they could've easily added it to Halo 3 if they wanted to. They had plenty of time to develop Halo 3.pugwash1 wrote:Due to time constraints same with that level that shower at e3 years agoRickyMartinLIVE wrote:Yet it wasn't.

This coupled with 343 iz bungie are the two biggest myths that still are perpetuated. We need a myth busters YouTube channel like had back in the day.Ramir3z77 wrote:Lol you -Yoinking!- serious?

HEY!!! I slick and slide everywhere.....it has saved my behind numerous times.Enderman 806 wrote:sliding is useless though so who would actually careONI Forklift wrote:If sprint were removed, sliding would also be gone since you need to sprint in order to slide.
I actually made it a point to play my first Warzone match without sprinting once. It worked just fine, even with Halo 5's gimped base movement speed. If new players to the franchise can't handle moving a little slower(like in the gameplay Halo was built on), then Halo just isn't the franchise for them. That's ok though. Not everyone is going to be a Halo fan. But, we shouldn't be turning away long time fans of the franchise in hopes of maybe pleasing some newcomers. That has been the strategy for over half a decade now, and the population shows that it isn't working. Trying to change and overhaul a working formula is not the way to continue a franchise.CardinalOhio886 wrote:I believe that sprint is necessary for Halo. Yes the original Halos did not have sprint, but in today's games sprint is necessary. Imagine doing warzone with no sprint. It would take an eternity to cross the map. In campaign when I go back and play Halo 1 through 3 it feels slow paced now to an almost unbearable amount. Also new players who are entering into the franchise would not be entertained by the slower game play that no sprint offers.
