Yep, Josh Holmes said that “The results from the HCFP surveys showed that nearly 11% of HCFP participants felt that Halo should not have sprint,”.

Watching the last event got me back into Halo 5 for the first time since early December.

Cod being cross platform definitely helps maintain a high position, as well as it simply being more "accessible" than halo for new players. I wouldn't say the changes are causing minimal harm. Compare Blops 2 to Infinite Warfare and you have 2 drastically different games. Such as weapon variants that are only accessible from supply drops, loadout characters that have a "rewind" feature and active camo. Just visit Infinite Warfare on reddit and you can see people talking about the problems. As for what was wrong with CE-4, nothing, as far as we're concerned. And this might not have anything to do with it, but Halo 4 launched during the "height" of COD, if you will. Maybe they saw the success of COD, and tried to cash in on their success.

Exactly. It's kinda nice to see other communities dealing with what we are dealing with. Maybe, just maybe, if COD goes back to traditional gameplay, and is successful, it'll say something to 343. But i'm sure that's a little too optimistic of me to say.

Okay, so let's say your're %100 correct. Do you honestly believe H5 would be at the H3 player count even if it was the "perfect" halo from our viewpoint?

Less competition? With games like R6 Siege, Overwatch, Titanfall 2, COD, Battlefield, the FPS genre has a crazy amount of competition with some really great games.

Coming off of Halo 4's soundtrack, I thought 5's was pretty good considering it wasn't done by Marty.

It isn't sprint if you call it speed boost, right?

Halo CE sold 1 mil in 5 months, and the Xbox sold 1.53 mil in 3 months. So probably pretty close to 50%.

Why would he have a more difficult time if he's Champion 1? Unless people surpass him in skill, nothing will change.

Why is that dumb? Having an initial placement that is similar across the board makes getting to Champion Rank more meaningful.

So thankful I get to see the same screen cap 4 times in a row.

They wouldn't let him go even if he wanted to.

Just rename Bomb Planted to Breakout Superfecta.

Honestly, Blops 3 actually feels like COD to me. The movement works well, unlike Advanced Warfare. Recently, I've been playing Blops 3 more than Halo 5.
