I say yes, because it would add variety to the game.

When you mash the stick all the way forward, you're already running. Just amp the speed up a little bit to add some realism (the Spartans are supposed to be ridiculously fast), but I think a Sprint function as a dedicated control would be unnecessarily added.

and COD is a great game. If it could benefit the Halo experience why wouldn't you want it?

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

A sprint function is not needed, if you wanna move alot quicker find a vehicle.

Well the sprint function would be in short bursts. All spartans could hit speeds of around 60kmph, it would be realistic(Halo universe-wise) if it was implemented, especially if you ever get to play from the perspective of Kelly.

A third person cover system is not needed either. I don't want Halo taking the Perfect Dark Zero route.

Um... I like Halo? I don't really know what to say. I'm a student at the moment, I hope to become a criminal profiler, and I enjoy pretty much everything as long as it's good.

And where would this button go exactly? I don't really see where it could possibly be placed. Halo is already to o jam packed of awesomeness. You cannot add anymore.

Ya I think that's taking things a bit far. The sprint function wouldn't have much gameplay impact other than getting around quicker.

Most definitely and Bungie really should at least have considered this for Reach

Sprinting all the time would of course ruin the game but a meter that charges up like that of the Arbiter's cloak say(probably a little longer mind), if handled properly, could add an extra layer

It's easy to say it should be included but Bungie would need to be real clever in how it worked in the game

Random Dpad button. What if there were mongeese with flamethrowers and spikes on the wheels covered with acid?

Marines only lag like 2 feet behind you. I didn't know all of humanity could run 30mph carrying hundreds of pounds of gear

You seriously wanna use the D-pad? Did someone beat you over the head with an original Xbox controller a few hundred times?

Lol what? It has nothing to do with movement, you hit the Dpad once and go into a sprint mode that you can toggle on and off. Not that hard of a concept to grasp. I just think the Dpad needs more functionality other than for voice in games with more than 4 people on your team.

You mean more than 6. Remember? They updated it so 6 is the max, at the expense of making it lag a little more often.

This. I find it too annoying trying to stop from sprinting in CoD.

Brox says shennanigans!

There shouldn't be a sprint function. If you look at the way that COD is made, a sprint function is beneficial. Your character has a few hits, similar to ODST, before you start to lose health. But in COD your health regenerates. This is reflected in the sprint function as well, as it regenerates. Halo is made to be more of a precise run and gun game. You can survive many more hits because of the energy shield and take more damage because you are a super soldier. COD has normal humans to play as. ODST characters are even more advanced than the soldiers in COD. So a sprint function would be great if you were not able to access "super" reflexes of a spartan or ODST.

"Peace, gentlemen...
Peace is the ultimate goal of the Traxus Project.
Peace not in our time but in the future.
Future generations will benefit from the work begun here today.
Gentlemen, I give you the Traxus Project"

A. No...such a mechanic has -no- place in Halo's multiplayer.
B. Just..doesn't seem right.
C. This -isn't- CoD..or anything remotely similar.

In my opinion adding sprint would merely be adding an insult to the game.

Sprinting was going to be in Halo 2 but got cut early on. JUST SAYIN.

And I'm not sure if I would like it or not. I'd have to see its implementation before I have an opinion on the matter.
