Perfect GIF execution.

It wasn't people running away from encounters that was the primary problem with sprint. It was the people running into encounters.

Sprint needs to be removed from Halo. Forever.

I also want to say, seeing the H4 design back in Halo 5 is upsetting. It's so big, takes up SO much of the screen.

Honestly the sound and look of H2A's sniper is my favorite so far in the series. I get you probably can't change the design for continuity sake Frank, but man, make it smaller :p

Also the sprinting animations are straight out of CoD.

H5 base movement speed looks really fast. Sprint may not make much of a difference. Then again why have it at all? To please cod players.

Keep watching. You may or may not like it, but don't make assumptions yet. Tomorrow will show off a lot of Beta functionality but it will also properly contextualize it.

Stinkles, if need be, would 343 actually remove sprint if reception isn't good?

I'd like to apologize for the borderline meltdown in Gaming, but I hope you can understand the sight of ADS being absolutely terrifying to Halo fans.

Considering 343 is picking up H2A as the main game, future remastered maps are bound to happen..

The map pool already feels repetitive.

Because people still take empty Warthogs in BTB just to travel across the map.

Nah, it was people running from encounters. Running to encounters is a problem with instant respawn, which Halo 4 was for a long time, and still might be for all I know.

No matter how many ways you say "trust us," it's still BS.

Actually listen to your community like you claim you've been doing.

Thats what I thought when I saw the clip where he sprinted with a magnum... But hey, a sprint's a sprint, we're all humans, even spartans :)

but i've never liked sprint. Games where you're always moving at the maximum speed is preferable.

best quote I saw today was Halo 1/2/3 is run and gun. Reach/Halo 4 turned into run OR gun

Considering how good H2A Forge looks, I'm expecting that to pick up a bit of the slack. Forge maps generally can't touch hand-built ones, but they can add some variety, if nothing else.

Frank, this sounds very, very good. I'm confident in Halo 5. And I love how 343 offers a beta this early. Good stuff all around.

would mucho appreciate you guys going through the new features/abilities before the match starts, so people don't have a meltdown when they see something that looks like ADS.

I'm not saying trust me, I'm saying make up your own mind based on what you see, and in December, more importantly, what you play.

What if that community wants Halo 5 to be exactly like Halo 2, Halo 3 and H2A though? ;]

Halo movement needed this evolution. As long as it doesn't feel sluggish and doesn't take away from core design for the most part (ie: Halo 4 removing descope and adding flinch), this might be exactly what this franchise has been needing.

We all certainly are going to be watching, it would be a happy surprise if so.

I felt an internal lurch when leaker xyz sprinted in that clip, it was a sharp reminder of how frustrating I found the mechanic in Reach and 4.

Guys, what frankie is trying to say is that there will be a perk that will allow you shoot and sprint at the same time.

See? All better.
