Halo 2's speed and Halo 3's MLG speed were both pretty fast. It wasn't Unreal Tournament or Quake fast, but for the map sizes and flow of combat, both of those speeds were perfect, imo.
I'll give you Halo 3 MLG, I guess Halo 2 was similar to that speed(been awhile since I've touched it), that's a good range. I still fully expect Sprint however and on some level I almost want it.

If the speed is at a good range you don't really need it. Though Reach probably would have been better if it was the only AA and actually lasted more than a second.

whenever someone fills out those long ass newbie questionnaires I only read "Who is your favorite Halogaffer" and hope I'm in that spot.

Same, except I want to be least favorite. Everyone skips that question though, so the whole thing is lame.

Sprint is ok for BTB, I feel it breaks small maps though, MLG NS is sublime.
 
I think knowing when to conserve and when to use sprint adds a layer of complexity and skill to movement. Whereas all the other Halo's you just don't have to think about any of that.

Yea because that few second cooldown really makes you stress about it.

LOL, jesus.

What would people think of Sprint being a default ability and having some kind of extra mobility features when used? For example, ducking while in sprint would be a sort of quick dive down into cover. Not quite Evade (it's forward-only and a much shorter distance). Maybe melee in sprint is some kind of shoulder ram that causes mediocre damage but knocks an opponent backwards.

Maybe it even auto-climbs over small changes in elevation or barriers and such, so if you're sprinting you can automatically hop over barricades or short walls.

Yeah, I know, another terrible idea.

Be nice if Halo 4 had that level of graphic detail to weapons and things but honestly its pretty fake looking.

Irregardless of the picture's authenticity, the 360 is perfectly capable of producing those graphics. There's nothing particularly special there that the hardware couldn't do.

Especially if it's done in Photoshop. =P
 
So.. Possibly some Halo 4 (toy) news tomorrow? Maybe we will have an idea of how MC's armor has changed since e3.

I actually like Sprint, too. What I don't like is the fact that it got implemented at the sake of reducing your native movement speed.

Agreed. Sprint is fun, but I dont like that base movement speed was reduced so much. I hope H4 can implement both a faster movement speed and sprint.


"Leaked" Halo 4 picture from mlg, looks shopped badly.

Looks really fake, but I wont deny that its pretty.

Oh i know its possibly, im saying Halo typically pulls a more .. stylized look.

Halo looks great dont get me wrong

But something about the gun in that fake screenshot is appealing to me.

Speed is irrelevant. I shit on kids regardless of our speed.

I would like an Instagib mode though, the DMR would be perfect for it.

Instagib 8v8 TwoFlag on Haystacks. Fuck that would be an awesome weekly bonus playlist.

Lowered Grav HIGH speed, instant respawn, flag touch return, can shoot with flag. Instant kill if shot anywhere.

The fuck you talking about?

Remember when we were the bungie defense force? hahah

I don't think sprint is necessary if 343 finds a sweet spot with movement speed but that being said sprint is FAR from my biggest concerns.

I'm late to this, but...

Why do people say this? You were slow as shit in Halo 3 too, at least I have the option of not being a turtle in Reach.

Other than that trolljuices I think everyone is in agreement that the mobility in Reach sucks, so let's just keep it at that then.
I'm not arguing against that, because yeah, it's not great. But when you were almost if not exactly as slow in the previous game without any way to increase that speed, it is crazy to me that people attribute the slow base speed to the inclusion of sprint when they've stated that they wanted to make a game that felt grounded.
 
I doubt that picture is real, but what low the Halo community has stooped to in order to fool each other about potential news-worthy items.

It's like Valve and Half-Life 3/EP2 community. It's so annoying. :(

You chose Uncharted MP over us. You have no right to speak, ever. :D

I dont know how anyone could even begin to think that is a real picture, its just laughable.

Whatever you say, Devo.

Oh please, everyone does it for everything, just for a bit of attention.

I agree its slow, but to up it and not make all the maps jumps and hallways and everything weird you'd need to change every map to make it feel normal. The game was designed completely with the default speeds and jump height. That is how it is best played.

The AA's add a lot of cool quirks to the movement. Thats all I'm saying. Its not troll people have loved sprint (CoD fans) and evade (Gears fans) for several game/generations now.

and Overdoziz didnt you ever play UT original (UT99)? Instagib. Youtube it. Games were NUTS.

Yeah but that doesn't mean Halo 4 needs to suffer the same fate. Halo 4 mobility should be the same as h2 if not faster. For the love of god don't slow the game down more.
