I don't understand why they keep trying to force sprint into Halo.
Why can't they just increase the base movement speed? It would fit Halo's gameplay much better, but nope, they won't do that.
Not enough run or gun shooters out there, right? We need more of them, obviously. Sigh...

Looks kind of weird. Too fast, as well.
I'm not a big Halo fan, so I can't comment in-depth, nor do I care to watch the whole video. However, this doesn't look as good as Halo 4's multiplayer.

So... wait. You're against, what, abilities with restrictions? Should we take out guns because people are penalized for using them by losing ammo?
thats how balance works. This post is hilarious.
Guns don't have unlimited ammo. Must take them out too.

I agree. 343 should let us shoot while sprinting too.
I'm not sure you know how balance works...

This would actually be really cool, but they'd need to impose an added penalty. I'm thinking a flat reduction to shields while you're sprinting, as well as the existing recharge penalty.
"Force" sprint? Fans were whining about it since before Halo 2 was even announced, and there's only a select portion of them exclaiming that it's so terrible and game breaking now.
Placing a limitation or two on sprint feels more like a graceful compromise to me. Not everybody wants sprint out, and simply increasing the movement speed isn't going to make everyone happy either; I'm sure everybody will just start claiming 343i "copied" UT or somethin'.

Halo gameplay just works better as a pure run and gun shooter. That means no accuracy penalties, no ADS, and of course, no sprint.
They have been trying to force sprint it into the franchise since Reach, and even if it is a bad addition to Halo's type of gameplay, they'll keep doing it because the reviewers (who apparently can only play one type of shooter) and those players that will only play it for a week before moving back to COD, would all cry "why can't I run!?" But hey, chasing that COD money worked great with Halo 4, right? LOL.
The homogenization of the FPS genre (on consoles) sucks.

If the only way to balance sprint is to make it so you don't recover shields there's a problem.
Maybe I should have made that point clearer.
It doesn't fit into the game and that's only in there for the people that say "but then everyone is just going to run away and hide!" What's the point of sprint when you can't even use it in situations that you should be using it?
Perhaps for a specific type of play, sprint is detrimental. But not everybody's playing with these competitive rules of engagement in mind, that doesn't just include the whimsical players that move on to the next best thing a week later.
At least they're trying to find a compromise.

Nah, Halo with a pure run and gun approach works better in every kind of situation. Campaign, 4v4, BTB... And, in my experience, trying to find a compromise very rarely works, usually it just leaves everyone dissatisfied.
But again, why not just increase the base movement speed? Spartans should be able to run and gun at the same time, I think.

Running away is now the only viable use for sprinting. You heard it hear first, folks.
cuz you know, I said specifically that was the only viable use. It's not like I said situations, which is plural. In case you need some help

No, just no.
1 thread on b.net out of tens of thousands saying "maybe sprint would be cool" is not whining for sprint...
343i's proposed sprint balance in Halo 5 won't work. Even if you couldn't sprint at all unless you have 100% shields, it still wouldn't work.

Much better than copying COD (or modern shooters in general) that's for sure.
Sure, I'm certain that is a perfectly accurate recollection of the general consensus regarding sprint over a decade ago; bungie.net and beyond.
Not sure how I'm feeling so far. I like the increased speed for faster matches on one hand, but on the other I really liked the heavy, deliberate feel of Halo combat.
My biggest worry, however, is just how many massive maps with plenty of vehicles there will be. The multiplayer has been revealed to us, yet Bungie hasn't shared a map featuring vehicles so far. The infantry combat is only half the Halo equation, so I can only hope we're going to be seeing plenty of Valhalla-type arenas as more information comes.

sprint works perfectly
as a power up
speed boost is the best thing added to the halo sandbox since the grenade launcher. maps dont need to stretch; sprint doesnt need weird changes
"arena" gameplay? keep it on the map.

This unknown weapon seems to be some kind of Grenade Launcher. My guess is it's a new power weapon.
One of the earlier concept for Reach's Grenade Launcher was this:
it locks on. it damn well better be a power weapon

Looks like a UNSC version of the Plasma Launcher from Reach.

Reminds me of that dumbass Covenant rocket launcher from Reach in the gif.

They add effects that are off-putting. 343's sound design in general is off-putting. There is a glitch in Halo 4 where the SIT REC (killcam) will play the already over-the-top gun sounds back at DOUBLE volume. Serious ear fuckery.But seriously, instead of swapping him out, bring back his old Halo 2 through Reach style. I dislike how he announces in 4 and H2A.
The Comedy Gun was amazing. Worst thing they ever did was try to balance that broken thing from what it was in the beta. It was fucking hilarious. At the least they should have kept a broken version for custom games for the hilarity.
Agreed.

like fair enough they want to hype it.
But what I find super annoying is that all these "Pro" gamers get a chance to taste all these delights early and get the leg up on us apparently mere mortals.
I just think to myself, if actually we all started on the same day and could manage to play the same amounts of time of these pro players how we'd stack up....
After my long ass time on Halo 3 and constantly playing with some of them in Halo 3 I would say that maybe if I had that time to spend I could actually enter a comp and see how I went.
I dunno it just annoys me.
I look forward to the new video though. I wish they'd release this beta, so I could play it whilst they fix MCC
