No way the option to disable sprint would be included in H5. I would much more prefer an option to disable aim-down sights for scope anyway, but obviously that's out of the question.
Maps are made with these abilities in mind, even sprint, so there's no going back at this point.

Increase the base player speed. Now your larger maps work again.
Could be done. Take this idea and put it into a dedicated playlist.
Classic Slayer
Would be nice to have that much flexibility in game mode settings.
Yeah. Its funny because modders had to deliver the game-types 343i slipped out on in Halo 4 (Assault, customize-able infection, etc).
Playing classic slayer on Halo 4 (no sprint) on some really well made remakes was actually really fun. Playing a lot of that during the summer.
No matter what Josh says, sprint is trash and will never have a place in Halo.
The longer they keep insisting on making Halo gameplay a watered down experience, the less confidence I have in their ability to make a good Halo game. Straight and simple.
All you're doing is expanding the maps, compressing actual active combat interactions and greatly increasing anomalous outcomes. It doesn't add compelling gameplay, so why does it keep getting added?
Everything I have seen from Halo 5 just does not interest me, except the lighting engine. The mechanics themselves are several notches below the quality I expect from a Halo game or alternatively a competitive shooter.

Another thing about immersion. How/why does a 7 foot+ Spartan super soldier wearing a massive helmet/visor that is electronically linked to his gun and has a reticle displayed in his field of view, need to aim down sights with his gun? Where is the supposed immersion there? Especially when there is a canon reason for no ADS?
I'd have more respect for their design decisions if they just came out straight and said, look guys, Call of Duty is a sales beast, you nerds are going to buy our games and play them anyways, we're tired of reviewers and other players saying our game play is old, our games need iron sights and sprint, we want to cater to these individuals so that they might play Halo.
"It's nothing personal, sonny, it's just business."

After reading that, I think I'm done with this franchise. Take it easy guys.

"No way"? Lol. I remember Frank saying the biggest lesson they learned from H4 was offering more options to the player base so everybody could at least be happy in customs.
I don't play customs. If that's their solution, they can fuck right off.

Game design doesn't really work like that. They're testing one core way to play. Sure, it would be nice to have a toggle-able option, and maybe there will be when it launches next year or a patch or two down the line, but fact of the matter is that 343 wants sprint to be a core gameplay mechanic, not a secondary one.
Well if we're given an option to disable sprint, I would like six other options under "base player traits" so I can disable all of these added spartan abilities.
oh, so then i can have whatever little desire i have to play confined to a singular playlist? oh, yes. sounds great. not.
Yep.
I've seen enough of the Halo 5 footage to see sprint is far too common to get about normally. They fell right into the same trap, base speed isn't fast to accomadate sprint so you sprint burst every few seconds and it frankly sucks beyond belief when you should be making your way around the map like a majestic flowing spartan on a mission to kill or rocking the objective. There is no smoothness, it's stop start over and over.
This is a great way of putting it, there is a flow and smoothness in a consistently fast base movespeed.
Just look at Defrag videos from Quake 3, now Halo can't get to that level of control and speed, but for God's sake, at least strive for it.

Write it on your forehead if you have to, seems ya'll forget sometimes or act like making a million posts about it is gonna change shit.
But go ahead and keep complaining about Sprint for the next 3 years, I'm sure they'll get the message in Halo 6

Gotta go fast.
they are going to need a charity to make up for the upcoming large drop in sales.
No one else will be, as Halo fans will have destroyed any hype for anyone else.
If they can't make Halo fans excited, they can't make the general populace excited.
They're kissing the asses of the wrong fanbase.

I'm picking up what you're putting down. Reach and Halo 4' player population and decline were an amazingly clear indicator of the general population's interest in sprint and armor abilities/perks/whatever. This is why History 101 is a good thing to know, so we don't make the same mistakes again...
I will preorder the collector's edition even if I'd know Halo 5 sucked total monkey balls.
The show was so bleh. Acting isn't very good, plot is pretty cliche and the enemies they encounter in the show made it all the more boring since they're only cool in like the first 2 episodes. Only good actor is the guy who plays Locke, the rest had some really bad dialogue. I'd rate the show 6/10 at best.
The beta will decide that. Most people dropped H4 after first 3 weeks. If Halo 5 isn't really fun, why would they buy? Especially after the fiasco that's been MCC launch.
LOL

Eh, too many people sliding round with shotguns for me. Really frustrating half the time
PvE is really good though. That new Crota raid is fantastic
I don't think sprint or AA's had anything to do with the decline of those games populations for the majority of people. I just think Halo is way past its prime.
Everyone here knew how bad the Halo 4 stuff sounded, yet they still bought it. It's not going to be any different with 5.
hmmm?

I turned on my Xbox 360 to mess around with Halo 3 ODST for a bit and WOW I can't go back. This game and the rest on 360 are so slow and clunky and choppy now wow man.
That's silly. What's the point of even having sprint if you're punished so much for using it? This is one situation where I don't think you can ever cater towards both sides. Either implement it properly or take it out completely, IMO.
I've had some frustrating matches because of the overpowered perks and loadouts, but they have been few and far between that it has not hampered my enjoyment of the multiplayer. Its still unbalanced as hell, but underneath it there is just some magic that keeps me coming back.
PvE is ok. The mission design for most of them is so repetitive, and makes most of the experience forgettable.

Blasphemy!
Not to mention there are more multiplayer games vying for people's time than when h2/h3 were in their prime. Cod wasn't even a thing back then.
Missed all the salt last page. Lol
Such sprint
Very horse

Halo is way past its prime, but so was Counter-Strike couple years ago. Now CS has +100k players daily. Trends change.

Based on what though? We haven't had a legit halo since 3.
To get into combat faster. That's the main purpose and even described so by Josh.

Teams need to be better balanced. I just was put in a game against 4 players with ranks of 6, 6, 8, and 9, whereas my team had 6 (Me), 4, 1, and 1, the later of the two who left mid and the other towards the end.
Edit: It just occurred to me that I should put this in the actual MCC thread.

I don't think so. My guess is that the Turbo Update and the Halo 4 playlist will go live at around the same time.
