Sprint looks even worse than H4, the bloom, the sound, the announcer saying power times, down the sights aiming. shyt looks like the ultimate CoD casual gamer joke.



H2A is actually a lot of fun, and would be more so if people talked. That's the direction Halo should be branching off from, not revamping the core gameplay.

Sprint is my biggest gripe. It will never work in halo. The ground pound is s high risk high reward move and PPP rarely use it. Thruster works well and the recharge time is decent. The guns are balanced except for the strong ass AR, it should not be melting nikkas from mid-range so effectively. The sniper and overall shooting is much more difficult than the past couple games, you can def tell who has good aiming. Overall the game is fun and I'm glad it's a beta, more tweaks are needed to make it a great game. The ADS thing we were lied to about, they said it didn't change how weapons work when firing from the hip and zooming in, the AR and the SMG both get a tighter spread when u zoom in which is some bullshyt. That's what ADS does and they said this isn't ADS. It still functions like the original zoom with a new look, click the right stick to zoom and you get descoped when shot (which makes it not ADS) but those guns being affected by the change in aiming Is how ADS works in other shooters, so wtf 343? That shyt should not happen.

Sprint has to go.

At a certain point you just have to get with contemporary times. Halo is dying for new fans of the series and becoming more casual will help with that effort.

Sprint will never work in Halo. fukk all that "get with the times" shyt, Halo is an arena shooter and having sprint completely breaks that. 343 needs to make the base movement speed faster and remove sprint. There are way too many issues being introduced to the game with sprint...way to many and i'm sorry but I can't take you seriously as a "fan" of Halo if you think it will work...you just come off as a fan of shooters to me.

Why sprint doesn't work in Halo:

  • Spartans have shields. It takes more than 1 or 2 trigger bursts to kill a player (unless you have a sniper or rocket). This is not COD or Battlefield.
  • The game loses it's identity with the introduction of Sprint. Halo has always been about these Spartans trotting around maps to acquire weapons/powerups and kill the opposing team. There is a certain feel that Halo has that no other shooter on consoles have. Halo is an arena shooter, not a military shooter.
  • it forces 343 to make maps bigger. Look at the size of halo 5's midship compared to the original. 4v4 maps are way too big with sprint in the game
  • Players can easily run away when they are about to die. This just makes engagements and games longer because players have a get out of jail card when they fukk up or get out-skilled
  • it ruins the flow of the game. Kill one player while you control a power position and he can spawn, sprint and get back to where you were in an instant, instead of having to properly traverse the map carefully. Also it makes calling out players more random because they can get from point A to point B instantly, so by the time you hear and react to a callout barry allen is halfway across the map.
  • it makes players change recklessly at others for melees and other wild crazy shyt instead of having more skillful engagements in cqc. Also because this isn't COD where players die super fast these players can get away with cheap kills like this because you won't be able to kill them fast enough unless you have rockets or sniper, it makes your utility weapon (pistol and rifles) ineffective and useless at times
There are other reasons as well. I've seen enough issues all over websites dedicated to halo. Sprint will NEVER work in halo.

You don't like it?

I played like three matches and it's ight. The "smart link" aka ADS mechanic feels needless imo. I don't see what's the point of it being there although I do like it for the pistol.
I like it so far but I can't really say much on it since I haven't really put in too much time wtih it yet.

The audio is really good imo though.

The graphics is horrible though. I know it's a beta but damn it looks worse than Halo 2 anniversary. So much jaggies and blurriness I assume from the 720P resolution.
Word i thought that shyt was blurry shyt halo 2 remastered looks better if this shyt aint 1080 60fps or at least 900 p nikkas never gonna hear the end of it

They actually did say the spread would be affected.

And playing the OG halos I wish they woulda added sprint to those :manny:

No they did not. Frankie said and I repeat "hip fire and zoom will not be differenT. There will not be any punishment to using hip fire". That was a fukkin lie. Automatic weapons are OP because of the zoom tightens their spread which is pure fukkery. There should not be a punishment for using hip fire like every halo before the beta.
