I personally don't like the idea of running,this isnt call of duty this is halo. I saw a topic over at IGN.com about a Reach wish list, and running (sprint action) was one of the things they wanted. Bungie could do things to spice up the game play and stuff which im sure they have come up with something they have been working on Reach for a while now, but i think the way the game is played is good how it is, do we really want a completely different Halo FPS ?
Please share your thought im interested to see what the rest of the community thinks, thanks.

Seriously, how does "should there be a action for halo reach" have anything to do with the sprint option?
Just name it: "Should there be a sprint function in Reach?".

I do think there should be a sprint function, or atleast improved speed.
I mean, if you're a super soldier, why can you only run at a slow jogging pace?
Besides, if a grenade lands next to you, you don't really have any time to escape because you move so slow.

add a horn that says "!%*@ BILL O' REILLY" in Austin Powers' voice, and
I like how if anyone ever says a nice thing about Bungie people think all they want is Recon, and if someone says something bad about Bungie people join with them. And then after they get done bagging on Bungie, they go play the game that Bungie made

Why do you people still read those websites? They never have any real information that we don't get from Bungie, they have obvious bias in all their articles and they often have no idea what they are talking about.
I remember them saying things like
ODST will be a squad command shooter like Gears
Halo 3 will be Bungie's last Halo game
ODST will be Bungie's last Halo game
You will be able to use Jackal shields in Halo 2
That ODST will be 3 hours long

Don't listen to them! They are idiot fan boys who got a hold of power and attention they never deserved.

No problem, also. The guy who said that you are to slow to dodge grenades. Grenades in Halo isn't as dangerous like the ones in CoD, so it's not necessary.

That's not the point.
If you're a super soldier, you've been trained to your physical peak, shouldn't you be able to run faster than a jog?

but you cant look at what a spartan should be able to do but how its gonna effect the gameplay

I think it would be nice to have a sprint function.
Think about this, you're getting chased by 3 enemies in team slayer, you just about to make around a corner to your teammates and then you get killed, don't you think a sprint function would help?

They made you run at this speed because it's more balanced with the huge amount of damage you can take, let's make a scenario.
You are on the map "Guardian", wielding your Assault Rifle. By the huge amount of damage your opponent can take, it would be impossible to take him out, he would just sprint away from you before you even took down his shields.

But another example supporting a sprint function would be,
what if theres a sniper killing everyone?
The only other sniper rifle is across an open area, you run for it and get sniped, you sprint for it, he barely missed the snipe you lose your shields but make it to the sniper, you snipe him.

I understand that a sprint function would be bad and good, I just think that in some way they should implement , maybe like rolling or something as a way to evade attacks or vehicles without constantly jumping.

I'm not trying to force my opinion on anyone here, I just think some kind of sprint could be nice.

thats a good point and, bungie gave us the option to increase speed through custom game settings, and i dont want to bring competitive gaming into the scenario but, if your having to run away from three enemys and your trying to get back to your team, just my opinion but you shouldnt be in that position to begin with, on your opponents side of the field when there all spawned back already without any team mates to back you up.

Your teammates all got killed, possibly.
I'm just sayin'.

This scenario can easily be avoided though, your teammates should be able to distract the sniper with covering fire, so you can grab the sniper and blow his head off.

I'm not trying to say that it's the only answer to the problem, but if your teammates are somewhere else, what can you do?
I'm not trying to get into an argument, I'm not trying to say the game needs a sprint feature. I just think it would be nice in some ways.

I know, we're just discussing it. Yeah well, if the teammates aren't nearby, you can either try and find a bubble shield or just avoid the area that the sniper got control of.

actually one thing that might be kinda of interesting that they could do is maybe make a sprint feature for campaign only,that way we get to use it but not abuse it, and then it would make the people who want a sprint feature a little happy.
