This new ability should add a lot more depth to gameplay. I hope the sniper rifle is very acurate. Also how long will you be able to spring for?

I take it you mean sprint , I think for as long as you want but you have to put your guns away to sprint

you could probly sprint as long as you want, cause wasnt it that if your sprinting your weapons are aimed down so you cant shoot? youd have the speed but youd be giving up your ability to shoot... but maybe a sprint limit would make sense too...

hhehe like what Thing said ^

I don't think you can do it unlimited. It's only to be used to get out of a hot situation, not to run over to the enemies base all the way from the spawnpoint (from what I've understood).

this ability would be very useful on CTF matches.

I don't see how, since you presumably wouldn't be able to sprint with the flag, since you can't really put it away.

I think you will only be able to sprint for a very limited amount of time (a few secounds?), and turning or shooting will end your sprint. I wouldnt be suprised if bungie had us sprinting in the campaign mode to catch a closing door or something close to that idea. Just a thought....

With the extra speed comes a more difficult situation. Such as catching a covenant scout or jumping a wide gap in the path.

I agree with you, this way it can't be used "wrongly" either.

Running with the flag would be lame, for obvious reasons.

I think you will be able to sprint forever if you want, but you wont have any weapon so it wont last very long :D

Sprinting sounds sweet, but it might also be a clue that the levels are MAD huge.

They said you'll be able to sprint only for a short period of time.

More like a few seconds. In a few minutes you can do a walk around the entire Bloodgulch.

I'm so glad Bungie is making this game and not some of you guys. *hehehe*

Sprinting for a few min. is an extremely long time, dont you think?

Edit: Seems like me and XiroKe seem to be on the same page ^_^

He does happen to be a genetically-enhanced super-soldier cyborg selected for his natural physical strength and stamina from the populations of many hundreds of planets for a select group of only a few hundred and trained from the age of six, not an unfit computer gamer who spends most of his time on internet forums :). So I think he could last the distance.

Yes, but this game is going to be played. It doesn't have to be "correct" if it's going to ruin gameplay. You're just asking for trouble if you give unlimited run capability.

Obviously it's something people are going to take advantage of if done wrong.

Okay people, REALISE for a second that things like these can ruin (online) gameplay. Isn't it obvious people are going to abuse this feature like they abuse each little bug in every other game.

So who gives a **** it's not in par with the books, if it's going to destroy the Live gameplay I don't see why you would add it. Just because it seems "right".

Sure doesnt. I havent read the books yet, but can't master chief run extremely fast? I've read on HBO somewhere that he could've ran the whole end portion of the Maw level in less time then it takes with the warthog. That should already show you that the games arent on par with the books or stories when it comes to the chiefs abilities.


Edit: Damnit XiroKe stop cutting me off! lol, you keep posting secounds before me.

i agree completely with these other guys. Others are going to abuse it greatly, making the game not fun for some.

i agree with the other people who have said that there shouldn't be unlimited sprint. it is probably used to get you out of tough situations. so it would be benificial to have that. with the flag, i think that you will not be able to sprint with it.
