Ok guys this is really F***ing annoying! Stop comparing Call of Duty to Halo...they are nothing alike! And never will be! Sprint is an awesome feature in Halo, and that thing you mentioned about always being able to escape a gunfight that you are losing with sprint is just a big pile of crap! I can never get away from a fight I am losing with sprint! And it would be kind of really stupid not being able to sprint since we are playing as Spartans! Spartans are enhanced super soldiers! Taking away sprint for a Spartan is like taking away spider-mans wall crawling ability. He is practically not spider-man then...and ChristopherRyan no matter how big a map is, sprint or no sprint, the game will always be action packed...Technology is advancing, and that means Video Games are advancing...which means developers are being able to make faster paced games, with better quality graphics. Halo needs change other wise we will be stuck in the past, with all the same things, and we will be bored as hell, Sprint needs to stay. And as for Custom loadouts, they also need to stay. Everybody needs a chance to equally win, and spawning with a weapon that you suck with, and other people spawn with the same weapon and they are very good with it...that means the game is not =...having Custom Loadouts helps balance the game. If everybody has the same weapon and you suck with it and somebody else is good with it, is not = and that means they have a better chance of winning and that is wrong...the better man should not always win, everybody should have an = chance to win, and Loadouts balance's that out. And as for the creator of this Topic, if you want most of the things you listed on your hard to read list, just forget about the newer games and just stick to playing Halo 3. Other wise besides all of the things related to Halo 3 other than duel-wielding I agree with you...they should get rid of the Boltshot...if they have that in the newer games than that means there will be no duel-wielding.
