Question. Will Sprint in the Beta will be very similar in terms of speed like Halo 4 OR will it be very different to adjust for "Arena" playstyle?

I just tested my streaming set up. PS4, XB1, Wii U, all working nice, all recording and streaming.

It may be overkill, but I plan on enjoying the shit out of MCC. And then some.

I just don't understand why they can't simply up the movement speed and get rid of sprint.

You get the benefits of faster gameplay and you can still shoot while moving.

The movement possibilities in Halo 5 are piquing my curiosity a bit, really. H5 with a bigger focus on mobility sounds a bit more interesting to me.

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.

Eh, I don't know. I can appreciate forge, but when it starts to replace actual DLC, I get annoyed. Most forge maps are garbage.

Why don't most understand that upping base movement won't solve anything?? It would help to create a new style of play ex. Flood/Infection gametype, but won't overall benefit how you desire to have better gameplay for Arena?

Myself and many, many others have already made up their mind: Sprint does not belong in Halo. The inclusion of ADS is quite literally the average Halo fan's worst nightmare.

The fact that 343 is trying to push this crap on us and simply saying "make up your mind" is BS. Are you going to actually change anything and listen to the community? At this point, that prospect doesn't look to promising because 343 wouldn't even think about ADS if they listened to the community's stance on it. A stance, I might add, that has existed since Halo 3 vs. CoD 4. The data for this stuff already exists.

I understand that you personally aren't the one who added these features, and I hope you don't feel like I or anyone else is angry at you. Making up my mind about this is simply something I and others have already done.

Because then they would stop having to look to Call of Duty for inspiration.

Didn't you hear? 343 needs to imitate COD until Halo starts selling COD numbers! It's perfectly logical!

You guys really enjoy watching a high level Halo match run out of time? A match where there's a lot of standing around with peek-a-boo gameplay?

I don't understand. Frankie, just give us Halo 5 already.. These people don't know what they want.

Sprint isn't something that should be in the game. I think a good way to gauge how well a mechanic will work in Halo is by looking at how it complements existing mechanics and classic Halo maps. Sprint isn't something that does this, and maps that would otherwise be great would have to be stretched to accommodate it. Thrusters on the other hand don't break anything and more importantly, feel fun to use. ADS seems like it'll be a crutch more than anything else. Sprint was already a crutch, and now it seems like it's going to be nerfed even more. I don't want features that punish you for using them. I want abilities that are fun and useful without drastically changing the Halo formula.

He makes a damn good point. Sprint doesn't belong in Halo. The "glorified zoom" could work but we'll see on that.

Sprint though? That will be the #1 requested ability to be removed from the Beta. We shall see if they listen.

When people say upping the movement speed won't solve anything, what exactly are we trying to solve? It worked for 9 years.

Between a nice base movement speed, sprint, abilities, jumping like a boss and what I think is thruster pack then yes. I'd say so.

Not everyone hates sprint with a passion.

Sprint wouldn't be so bad if base movement speed was fast itself. When they make the base slower to accommodate sprint, that is the error.

How I hope Halo 5 does it.

Fast base movement.
Thrusters for better combat agility.
Sprint for getting into action quicker and around big maps.

First point is a must.

Stand stills are fine, but having time run out and no one doing anything isn't. I would like to see more one bomb/flag type matches with rounds. It would at least force some pushes and interaction between the teams.

That's how I see it to be for the beta. Good post.

I made a loot cave in the new forge mode.

It's about as much fun as the one in destiny. In my one you get a yellow orb from the enemies every 30 seconds. You also gain XP as you become fractionally better at shooting a fusion coil
