Halo 5 is definitely fast, in fact its a major criticism. It can be enjoyable at times but many feel the speed creates "snowball" effects and that its also too fast to watch. Overall the game doesn't cater enough to a casual play style.Goteki459114 wrote:halo 5's gameplay is not fast. its slow. you take out sprint and you make the maps smaller like halo 3 and increase the fov view then you have yourself a fast halo game compared to the originals. halo does not need this advanced mobility system as it feels like its is copying from trends like titanfall and cod. if titanfall and call of duty did not have advanced movement, i dont think halo 4 or 5 would have it either.
I'm not sure how the abilities could create "snowballing". That sort of problem has more to do with things like map design, weapon design, and the spawn system. Not base traits.FullxEnglish wrote:Not fussed about whether sprint should stay or go and I have no idea which would be better.

Agree somewhat. Halo has been on a steady decline since sprint in Reach, so it is time finally for a new Halo game with no sprint.Goteki459114 wrote:if 343 decides to keep sprint in or not i wouldnt care, but there is other ways to make a game more fast and competitive without adding sprint. halo 5 is not a bad game but its very flawed in its game design choices.

They could always adjust the movement speed, but yeah, them removing sprint in this game is just wishful thinking at this point.Unknown wrote:I mean sprint was a core reason the maps are designed the way they are, so I doubt they'll remove it in this game's lifetime.
I mean the only Spartan Ability directly tied to Sprint is Spartan Charge, and that's something a lot of people wanted removed anyway. So it's kinda just a win-win here.InAxcurate wrote:Does anyone think that an advanced mobility/Spartan abilities can be done and balanced without sprint? I love playing both classic and halo 5 with sprint (halo 4 and reach implemented sprint tarably) but I don't think just going back to classic halo is the solution to halo's problems. and I don't think 343 is going back to a pure classic game for a while.
Though, to be honest, Stabilizer, Thurster, and Ground Pound probably shouldn't be in the game to begin with. They're annoying abilities.Wild Vegetable wrote:I mean the only Spartan Ability directly tied to Sprint is Spartan Charge, and that's something a lot of people wanted removed anyway.

If Halo 5 was suddenly missing Sprint, Ground Pound, Thruster, and Stabilize would still be there. The only thing we would probably miss is sliding.
Sprint is really just a waste of a button/space at this point. There are much better things 343 could implement instead of sprint. Get creative!ModernLeonardo wrote:i forget sprint half the time so they should get rid of it in halo 6
Whether Spartans "can" actually run or not has no effect on competitive play, since you're comparing the lore to the gameplay. Two different aspects.Neighfarious wrote:I see no reason why sprinting would be seen as a detriment to competitive play. Personally, I'm in favor of sprint, and feel that things like Spartan Charge and Ground Pound should go. The abilities as a concept could be pulled and nearly everyone would be fine with it, but sprint has no reason to go. Floating and slamming into the ground or against a wall seem rather silly, thrusting is...fine but understandably questionable, but spartans can run, as demonstrated even pre-343.
Further nerfing sprint at this point just opens up the question "Why not just remove it?"xxRedacted wrote:I think sprint should stay, it feels like it should be a part of halo, but limiting sprint in some ways like halo 5 has done via halting shield recharge and not being able to sprint while taking damage is a good way to balance sprinting. However unlimited sprinting on top of thrusters and slide makes it “too” fast paced. I think classic game modes with slower movement should be permenant in playlists, or even put a cap to the amount of time a someone can sprint for could add another layer of depth players have to master to outplay the enemy with map control. On a gameplay level sprint always leads to people running into gunfights for double melees and it’s been a huge problem since reach, now with spartan charging it’s even more rampant in the casual scene. Halo has always been the perfect game for casual players and competitive players, keeping sprint is a must butnit needs to be perfected to promote intelligent use of the ability for map control or map movement instead of cheap kills.
