“Halo isn’t meant to feel real, it’s meant to feel fair” Couldn’t have said it better

[@ZanzibarWizard]

Joseph Stalin no one said specifically, but what we’re saying is without sprint everyone is not equal all the time. With classic movement, everyone moves at same speed making it “fair” or equal.

[@Rob-b2q8p]

Joseph Stalin I never said sprint makes halo unfair, I am just saying that the quote perfectly describes halo. Now, the question of whether or not sprint and advanced movement belongs in halo is a different question. Much like ray gun, I full heartedly agree that for halo specifically these mechanics do not belong in the game. I am not going to say why as the video does an excellent job of explaining this already.

[@petegfp5887]

@Joseph Stalin Sprint allows you to bail from the action after making a mistake. Movement is more meaningful when you don't have the ability to just press a button and take off. Theres a reason they still haven't added sprint to CS:GO. If they did, the play style would be totally different.

For the longest time I've heard other halo fans saying "sprint killed halo" and as someone who was introduced to the series with Reach, I didn't really get it or agree. (Granted I never played Halo 5 at all and not much of Halo 4 multiplayer) This video made me understand why people are so upset about it, though, and I have to agree. I still like the Halo Reach style sprint personally, but I don't like the other armor abilities. After seeing this, though, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing them all go. Thank you for explaining this so well.

From what I understood at the time of Reaches release and life span, the main complaint was the lack of rank system. leaving no room to want to keep playing competitively.

[@jasonmarcus1683]

Sprint can be very enjoyable for me tbh. I being unpredictable with it and it has resulted in some of my favorite moments playing halo multiplayer. It's so satisfying when used skillfully and you actually make it out alive when most players wouldn't.

[@Bytrl]

@@jasonmarcus1683 its much more satisfying making it out alive by weaving and dodging around obstacles, timing aggressive moves perfect, looking straight down, turning a corner, popping a nade at your feet with no sheilds and jumping away just in time as the enemy pushes in, than it is to click the left stick, mash a button up a wall, and thrust away. The abilities not only make survivability easier, but also make chasing or predicting enemy movements frustrating, and timing grenades near impossible. Luck .. isnt fun or rewarding. At least not to me. I like earning my streaks. From the abilities, to the ridiculous bullet magnetism, new halos seem to just.. be built for children. 343 halos reward everything and its just too much too often.

When doom eternal came out some people were upset that it was "just an arena shooter" as if arena shooters were inherently icky lepers to be avoided. This hits the nail on the head tbh; I love some of the more recent fps( siege is one of my favorite games) but there's something about arena shooters that can't be replaced by anything else. Everyone who got to play the original halo trilogy with some friends knows this, there's just a level of fun there with the maps, the randon weapons and the sandbox aspect of the gamecan't be found anywhere else.

[@darkphoenix2]

Doom Eternal and Halo are completely different shooters. Constant, fast movement is paramount in Doom Eternal. Halo is about realistic skills like tactical decision making and aim. Doom Eternal has no reloading, low ammo capacity, no crouching, situational melee attacks, a small jump and double jump, you carry all of your weapons at all times, a long range extremely fast dash that makes Halo 5's thrust feel like nothing more than a camera trick, etc. etc. Why are you talking about Halo like it's the same kind of "arena shooter" than Doom Eternal is?

As someone who holds Halo dear to my heart, playing with my late father in Halo 3, reach, etc; the newer games never made sense to us. Hell my dad couldnt even remember the maps in Halo 5 because they were all so bland and similar.

[@sloppysalami5490]

Halo, if anything, stopped appealing to the broad audience and tried focusing on the competitive scene. That's what happened with halo 5. It became a more skill-intensive competitive experience at the trade-off of the originally simplistic halo experience.

[@deriznohappehquite]

Sloppy Salami 343i thought that shooters were going in the direction of Titanfall, CoD AW, etc. and was hoping to cash in on that trend. So 343i thought they were going to appeal to a wider audience, but ended up raising the skill floor and alienating more casual gamers.

Gears only started to have less popularity on USA, in latinamerica is even bigger than before, why? Since the start of the franchise Microsoft gave extra love to Gears, just to make a comparison...Halo 5 was the FIRST Halo game with perfect dubbing, but Gears since the first one has top notch latinamerican dubbing and basically no mistakes, that is something that American players just can't see or are not aware of...they are not the only ones playing games, another example? Gears 5, doesn't appear or is very low on Xbox most played games...on Mexico 8th most played game just below minecraft as i write this comment, Halo 5? Just over Gears 5 on USA, on Latinamerica is the 15th most played game, Microsoft needs to win the confidence of the USA player, because in latinamerica they're almost the perfect company, not so long ago they absorved a new tax created in Mexico that make the games 16% more expensive on all platforms...the result? Xbox games are $10 cheaper than in any console, and in a lot of cases even cheaper than Steam, imagine Microsoft pulling off those things on USA.

I think Titanfall 2 was an amazing integration of sprint and advanced movement. The game was fully built around advanced mobility. I understand why people dont like advanced mobility but titanfall 2 did advanced movement perfectly

[@711ramen3]

I went back to Halo MCC after Titanfall 2 and CE to 2 and it felt painfully slow and doddering. The multiplayer maps felt constricted and combat boring dominated by pros who mastered the hidden advanced movement mechanics. Finally started playing Halo 5 and it felt like a breath air of fresh air. I was able to move and counter. The multiplayer actually felt fun. Don't know why people would wax nostalgic about moving like a turtle piloting a hovercraft.

[@captainbadassitude1845]

@@MarioGuevaraC I think he's just salty that the game changed, really. I fucking hated exo movements in Call of Duty but I'm not claiming regular the classic move style is better. The point? He doesn't like new Halo and he's trying to justify his irrational hatred of it by basing it off of his subjective preference for smaller map sizes and easier combat system. He complains about map size being too large because of the movement system. There is nothing wrong with having a large map, it's a matter of preference. He complains that there is no reason to use a warthog or scorpion tank anymore because he is now far more mobile on foot. Not only is that wrong, he's more _agile_ on foot, but he completely disregarded the benefits offered by vehicles that he just spoke of. The slow scorpion tank benefits from large maps because it's harder to ambush them now. Warthogs were always useless pieces of crap, unless you had a gunner, that were only really used to run down other players in one of the most cheap ways of getting a kill. He bitches that the Covenant weapons are now hitscan like the UNSC ones because players are more agile and the maps are larger. His reason for this is that in Campaign mode, it was easier to get in close and kill Covies but now it's peak 'n and out of cover to shoot enemies. The irony here is that he's not utelizing his agility that was given to him and he's using the campaign to justify a complaint about the multiplayer. He's just bitching because it's no longer a built the way he likes it, they are bad arguments.
