Subject: Which AA?

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

If there were only 1 AA was allowed in this game, what would you choose?

I'd choose:

Evade - better than Sprint (I do love sprint though), great for objective games, and compensates for lack of jump height/player speed and lack of strafing ability. Trade-offs include plasma grenade spamming at close range and insane sword lunges.

I want sprint to stay. Play with sprint for a week and then go back and play Halo 3... It feels too slow.

Halo 3's default speed isn't too far off from sprint. I'd rather have that consistent speed than be a fat kid who can occasionally run fast.

It does, but only because you're use to AAs now. If they changed the speed to Halo 3's, I could live without sprint.

For once I am bound to agree with you on this.

Sprint, Spartans realistically should be able to run for hours without an end. Sprint should stay. And if people actually says it ruins their gaming experience, don't ruin it for everybody else. Going faster for 7 seconds ruins the game? Everyone overreacts about all these things that 'ruin' this game. Sprint has to stay. I've always wanted this since Halo 2 was announced.

I know that the run speed in halo 3 is faster it just feels like I should be able to sprint. I really think that Sprint is a good addition to the halo franchise where as the rest of the AA's are not.

I may as well have just called this thread "Discuss if Sprint should stay"

All these are bound to change over time obviously.

Sprint- I am not going to be a hypocrite.

I hate Armor Lock, Active Camo, Evade, and Jetpack with a burning passion. Hologram doesn't bother me because I only fall for it if I'm very tired. Before some rage, I hate evade because of the fact that you can end up halfway across the map with 2 pushes of a button. Sprint at least shows you don't need an edge. It is no OP like Evade is, and it is also not as useful as Armor lock and Jetpack are assumed to be. I would rather have none though. Classic Halo ftw!

I understand but do you want Halo 4 to be the same as Halo 3. Maybe yes with updated graphics and stuff to get Halo back on top of Xbox Live but still. Sprint is in every FPS and it's far far worse in those compared to halo and people are complaining here.

Yeah, My opinion is based on what I am used to. I played Halo since Halo 1 release. It is a norm for me not to have any edgy abilities until Halo 3 when they were actually balanced. Now in Reach they are a spawned ability. If the armor abilities were laying around the map like power weapons, I might agree with it a bit more.
