I've been hearing mention of a new sprinting feature in Halo 2 that allows you to sprint.

I haven't heard anything from Bungie about this. Did they say it, or is it just a rumor?

And, if it's true, how does it work? What button do you have to press? What's the downside?

I think u press some button.. Don't know what it is... and Master Cheif puts away his gun and runs twice as fast. U can't shoot or throw grenades etc while sprinting... it was in OXM a while back i think..

There were rumors of it a long time ago but I didnt hear of it in any of the beta versions or demos so im assuming its been taken out. and the rumor was just that master chief would lower his weapon and sprint for a short while when you double click some button. this doesnt mean it absolutley wnt be in halo 2, but i dobut it will be. hope that helps.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

I think it will be in the final game. It would be a simple feature to implement and one that would not need to be heavily play tested. If they put it in it would be one of the last features added.

i'm thinkin it was taken out... cuz i haven't heard it recently or seen it in screens, movies, etc.. plus, i think sprinting would be stupid in Halo 2.

info about the sprinting, awhile ago Battlegrounds had news updates on it.
sprinting will need to be tested for transitions in the game, making it as smooth as possible. also having the sprint in the game would make it a better game in contrast to the books. john and his team in first strike had to sprint alot a whole lot. kelly being the fastest had chunks of tile riped from the floor as she ran at top speed which probably would be like 30 maybe 40 mph if the speed of the game gets doubled (since MC runs at about 15.3 mph in halo 1)

sprinting is just one of those things that are to small to make a big deal of it.
it'll probably be in single player campaign.

well, in rainbow six : raven shield, you can sprint, and it's a pretty cool feature, for instance, say you are hiding behind a rock, and you know there is a sniper aiming for you, waiting to pop you in the head, you sprint to rocks and stuff to make sure he doesn't hit you, of course you wouldn't be able to shoot or throw grenades, but the only reason you'd use sprint is to
1. run away
2. run far distances
3. run from sniper fire
so it has it's uses, i hope if they do do it, that they can pull it off right.
