: 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.

1. note to self: don't play Call of Duty
2. Halo 4 isn't previous Halo games, and one of those previous games did have sprint, along with a longer kill time
