: Sprint? That should stay for good. It has always been missing in Halo until
: now. It's natural and just seems super silly that we have powerful
: Spartans that can't run faster then marines. Of course, they should also
: have night vision and heat vision in their visors as well. But that may be
: asking too much. COD isn't the reason it's in Halo. Halo Lore is the
: reason it's in Halo.

They've always ran faster than marines, and they are supposed to be running fast at all times. Sprint in it's implementation up to now has been sloppy with horrible balance. The long kill times make it so people can sprint away making less fun experience for the player. With the new weapon tuning, sprint won't be as good as it used to due to the increased kill times so I"m hoping that will settle that arguement. And COD is a big reason that it is in Halo, all the maps in Halo's past worked fine without sprint but when COD came along, everybody started begging for it because it increased the speed of the game, but unfortunately like I stated earlier, it was abused to make speedy get aways and unsatisfying gameplay. In COD you get punished for sprinting due to the fast kill times but in halo it's a "get out of jail free card" because it takes 3 times as long to kill somebody in Halo. So hopefully once the update drops I won't have to complain about people constantly sprinting away when they should have been killed in previous halo games.
