Let's discuss the Run mechanism Halo:Reach

After watching the GTTV special on Halo:Reach, I noticed the Spartan sprinting towards the end of the show, sort of like Modern Warfare. My question is, being a Halo fanatic as I am, do you feel it'll hurt the game or will it adjust its skill level? In other words, will the sprinting make it too "arcady", which is what the Call of Duty series is being projected as.

^Agreed

The idea of a sprint mechanism in Halo has been long awaited for a gamer like me. The new map, that was shown for invasion is HUGE, bigger than sandtrap they said. I really think the sprinting, jetpacks and the Elite doge roll will help players get around quicker, for that extra kill or advantage.

Great Idea. :)

It is a special ability to sprint. Not everyone can just do it anytime.

correct.

it feels very necessary.

and I'm pretty sure these load-outs/abilities aren't going to be in every playlist, so no harm done.

"Load Outs. At the beginning of each match or round, and again every time you wait out your respawn window, you are given the option of choosing a Load Out.

Sprinting in Halo: Reach is an armor ability. There are a bunch of others in the game such as armor lock, invisibility and jet packs. Players can only have one armor ability. Each armor ability is balanced and have recharge times so say if you have invisibility you can't just turn it on when ever you want and stay that way all match long. Once you turn it on you can only use it for a short time and wait for it to recharge.

I don't think it'll make Halo arcadey. I think it'll add a new layer of strategy and team work to the game.

Agreed. And it's not like Spartans never ran, they always did, we just never had to perform it by the press of a button manually like MW. It will add strategy being that not everyone can run around loosely. My point really is, I really don't want the Halo series to have those "RUNNERS" that run at 90mph to stab you like in MW:2. That's the only thought that scares me about bringing that feature into Reach.
