Okay ages ago i read, and it was written somewhere on bungie too, that there was the ability to put your weapons away to run faster, but couldnt shoot etc. Now its been ages since i last heard about it, and it was demonstrated once, not at multiplayer in 2004, nor singleplayer in 2003. It also doesnt seem to be incorporated into the controls, the same with the peaking around corners thing that was to be implemented into the controls. no mention of that i na while, and wasnt in the 2004 multiplayer demo. was this removed eventually because they didnt work, Or have they just no been implemented into the beta versions etc.?????

With a loss of features,
The Red Dude.

-S

I'd imagine it's still there. It's hard to update on it though.

"In Halo 2, you can put your weapon down and run faster."

"Uh... You can still put your weapon down and run faster."

"Sprinting is a feature in Halo 2, now. Well, it has been for a while."

"There's this exciting feature where you can put down your weapon and run faster."

It's like the ATV. Just because they don't constantly update you on the feature doesn't mean it's gone, it means they don't feel it's necessary to update people.

Thanks Shishka for the nice little quotes there. But hey it could be dropped last second, much like the falme-throwers and stuff like that. Damn Microsoft, rushing bungie for a release of Halo:CE so they couldnt finsih some stuff etc etc. But i dunno, Flamethrower soudned kinda lame anyway (havent played halo pc) but it seems to me like a pointless wepon, I'm a pyro sorta, but i totally hate flamethrowers in games.

With a hatred of those flames you throw,
The Red Dude.

Anytime.......creepy. I just hear Mak's voice (from Predator, the african american with the big M-gun) say that as I read that. I need to lay off the action movies.

As for the sprinting. Yeah Bungie says something once (or not at all) and generally considers a good update. Even if that update was at the beginning of production.

well what if sprinting is gone and now there is just boosting on vehicles? i mean, its a raelly cool vehicle ability... but it would still be really cool on the MC.

i dont know about peaking around corners... that sounds comlpetely pointless.

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

Completely pointless!!?? It could mean a big difference in a game, you can check out of the doorways in BG without exposing a large portion of you body to a sniper camping outside. Trust me, it's a life savor in RS3...literally.

Hey, the peeking worked in Riddick, why not H2.

And as for sprinting, i REALLY hope they include this for those times you are stranded w/o a vehicle and need to travel long distances.
