Subject: Why was movement acceleration decreased?

Hi.

Can anybody answer this question?

You can still have slow movement speed with a fast acceleration to the max speed. There is literally no explanation to this one of many atrocities besides that of: Bungie simply wanted to further dumb-down the game.

Thoughts?

It makes it easier for bad players to hit good players, that is why it was done.

7% decrease

You feel slower because you jump lower and the maps are physically larger.

:P

But I agree it should've been faster.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Because slower walking speed, bloom, armor abilities, larger hitboxes and god-tier grenades still wasn't enough to make bad players even with good ones.

I think it was to make the movement more realistic, something around those lines.

Quite simply this.

People these days be digging deep into the barrel, in order to create different threads to criticise Reach. Don't get me wrong, Reach does have some flaws (even I can agree partially with this), but I don't see the relevance (here most of all) to create such threads. Oh well, I guess it all boils down to opinions.

They also decreased acceleration, further contributing to the slugishness of reach, especially noticeable when strafing.

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

And possibly because of the addition of armor abilities.
