TerribleTimbo Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 They had their heart in the right place making the decision but I still would have rather had just a higher base movement speed and scrap sprint all together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiBunni Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think it's just fine. Sprinting as a special ability is rather silly to me. A lot of shooters (including games such as DOOM, Marathon, Duke Nukem 3D) have sprint as a standard player feature, so I don't see why Halo should not have it. I know I know, "Halo's not supposed to be like every other shooter! It's supposed to be different!" Let me just say this, having features that resemble something in another game does not automatically make one series (such as Halo) play like that other game. Even if Halo 4 would feature sprint and custom loadouts (without the ability to choose power weapons), the game would still feel like Halo (at least in my opinion) due to things such as the energy shields, a motion-tracker, recharging health, floaty jumping, etc. Those and other features that are unique to Halo would still keep it feeling plenty different in my eyes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Tyrael Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I am fine with it, when i go to play Halo: CE,ODST, etc i always try to sprint. It has grown on me, and should be automatic like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt S-501 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think it will work out just fine. It is a little stupid that a super-soldier can't sprint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Constantly Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Sprint's there. Ok, fine. BUT, I think that since everyone can sprint then everyone should be able to roll backwards. Sprinting sword and people sprinting in only to try to beat you down twice is ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprinting sword and people sprinting in only to try to beat you down twice is ridiculous. Agree completely with this. Rolling backwards from a sprinting opponent would be perfect.

a live dinosaur Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 After Halo: Reach, I feel so slow in Halo 3. The only thing I use in Halo: Reach is Sprint of Hologram, so your saying I can use BOTH? 343i just made Halo so much better if this is true.

valyou3 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 *Notice* Sprint will not be as powerful with Power Weapons, once you get shot while sprinting your speed will be decreased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McChicken343 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Infinite Sprint is just beyond stupid. It breaks the game. Equals infinitely broken game. What a scam. No we cam run forever yay and be run awayers instead of fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandiBunni Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Infinite Sprint is just beyond stupid. It breaks the game. Equals infinitely broken game. What a scam. No we cam run forever yay and be run awayers instead of fighters. You cannot run for as long as you want. Please make sure you have the correct information before you try to claim something like this. Sprinting in Halo 4 will be a standard feature given to all players, and it will have a limited use just like sprinting had in Halo: Reach. When the energy is depleted, you will need to wait for it to recharge. While you are sprinting, if you are taking damage your sprinting speed will be slowed for as long as damage is being done to you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unease Peanut Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I like the addition. In halo 3 I always wondered why a freaking super soldier can't sprint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ccup-mann Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 IMO this would make more sense as a super soldier should run for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a live dinosaur Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Unlimited sprint is too unrealistic It is not unlimited Sprint. It is Sprint you carry, even with another Armor Ability. I believe Ms. Mystic explained this pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterTeethFan Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Sprinting players getting slowed while taking damage = good move agreed it will balance it and stop people from running away in a fight which was the only problem with reaches sprint and it really wasnt even a problem unless you had no sprint yourself now you have to face the enemy or die just like with classic halo but now we can get from point a to point b faster complete win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NullQuantity Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I was pretty excited when I heard the news. Sprint was pretty much the only amor ability I used in Reach once I realized it was the one that didn't get me killed on a regular basis. The use of sprint with melee weapons does worry me a bit, though. I imagine people hiding around corners with the sword and just running out to shank people when they get close. The victim wouldn't have enough time to shoot them and slow them down. Also, I wonder which button sprint will be mapped to on default.

NullQuantity Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I used Bumper Jumper in Halo 3 but had to switch to default for Reach because of the armor abilities. I wonder how both sprint and a seperate armor ability will be squeezed onto the controller. Would you use the d-pad to switch between the two? I sure hope not.

Hopefully we get a clear answer on that sometime in the near future. The only buttons I can think of as being free are the d-pad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
