Blows my mind that THIS is what some people are calling “slow”

It's slow because it doesn't allow you to flail your arms in the air apparently.

But muh speed lines and weapon lowering that slows down the gameplay because it takes like a second to pull up ur weapon due to the animation 🥺🥺🥺

Halo owns but it absolutely WAS slow compared to what was hot on PC at the time (ie - stuff like Quake 3 Arena). Being slower is precisely why it worked so well - it's perfectly designed for a gamepad in a way that no other shooter on a console had been up to that point.

Interesting that people call it "slow" while CE has the fastest walking speed out of any Halo game, which makes combat faster because sprint doesn't allow you to shoot AND run

Halo was only ever called slow because games like Doom had your character flying across the map spinning and shooting like an 5 year old at the park

Precisely. The game is only “slow” when compared to other games, which like, OBVIOUSLY???

The pacing in CE was perfect. The developers of Halo Studios don't deserve even to touch this Holy Relic. Heretics, all of them.

The incredible thing about classic Halo is that video of its gameplay look slow, but playing it doesn't feel slow at all.

Ah yes, the “I could turn this feature off in the remake or can just play the original but would rather complain about it online for clicks” Starter-pack.

Why would I complain about it online for clicks if I’m not gaining anything from it… I don’t even have a blue checkmark Also, just because I still have the original doesn’t mean that I can’t complain about the shitty Demake

It’s a feature that can be turned off. Also you cannot run through level in legendary in the remake without getting the shit stomped out of you, stop being a pussy and challenge yourself instead of whining constantly.

@Slonk01 Standard running speed is already higher in this remake, sprint doesn't add much. It all really fucks with the flow of the gameplay, levels feel different now, and not in a good way. You can keep spamming your emote, doesn't change the common consensus that this is worse than CE.

@Slonk01 It’s not the original, nor does it have to be a carbon copy. Cope.

@Slonk01 Do you have any actual defense of these things or are you just trying to get people mad at you with this complete lack of actually backing up what you're saying with any actual arguments? All you've been doing out here is going 'muh cope', 'um, like, deal with it' like pls

@CloakedSkeptic @Slonk01 I mean all this comes down to preferences . You don’t really need one and if you hate sprint that badly you can not use it or just play the original . The thing I don’t get is that the game you prefer already exists. . Let people have their remake with changes .

@acceleratingJoe @Slonk01 No how dare you want something else! SLOP COSOOoMer TrOoon

Crazy to make vehicles actually playable to and fun to drive since you cant sprint either. Most people just say "RuN aRoUnD tHeM" nigga you even playing the game?

Now that you mention vehicles, that reminds me that a lot of the “long map sections that take too long” people like bringing up as a negative are sections that give you vehicles 😭

Everyone’s dopamine receptors are just fried, that’s why they think a new halo without sprint would fail They’re so used to feeling like they’re getting to the next thing faster that something like halo can’t engage their TikTok brains

It’s essentially the same speed as sprinting but without the gay lack of shooting

Well, it's NOT fast so...

It’s not fast by what metrics…? Like, obviously, if we’re going to compare it to games like Titanfall 2, the older Doom games, etc etc, the game IS going to feel slow. At the end of the day, Halo being slow or fast is relative

@Goyslopfabp "Wow, if you just lower your standards and lose all sanity and objectivism in pursuit of relativity, this game is great!"

If you cranked up the speed in Halo CE, it would not work because the game wasn’t designed with that speed in mind. What the hell are you talkin about man?

i never understand people who say this game is outdated by today's standards, like I played it as a kid for the first time in like 2016 and it was genuinely one of the best games I had ever played in my life, and not once I felt like it was missing sprinting or ADS

Nono, that’s impossible. You cannot think this game is perfect without being a nostalgia blinded 40 year old fossil. That’s just not true!

this game needs a remake IMMEDIATELY. NOW!!!

people who think this is slow are the people who can't play games without sliding and bunny hop everywhere. Funny enough those same people refuse to go play games actually built for them like Titanfall.

Now playing the remake... I realized i forgot how it felt to hv to wait for the animation of the gun to end b4 shooting, it gives you a need to be more strategic, i like that a lot, makes it harder

The gun swaping delaying you i think It's a great choice from the developers... They rlly knew what they were doing, i rlly love how tactical halo is, i love how all of your choices matter and It's not just shooting like a crazy fuck till all dies

Why is there literally no hud? Where's my objective list and constant unnecessary dialogue? Where's my objective marker? How am I supposed to know where to go? Where's my enemy markers? And my ADS? Where's my tac sprint and Armour plates? And my heckin movement mechanics?

Sprint & ADS are what I call "immersion mechanics". They are artificial limitations for the sake of making the game feel more grounded and "real". They are entirely optional mechanics for an FPS, but people who grew up in the post COD era treat them like they're a requirement.

Its not that this is slow they need a button that plays a hand waving animation and increases your fov

even on legendary halo ce some how manages to have the fastest paced (and best balanced) combat in the franchise

It doesn't have a bunch of spastic ADHD troonhopping so it's slow by the standards of the people who have ruined every multiplayer shooter of the last decade.

I play OG CE almost daily! It's utterly timeless to me. The pacing of the combat flow still holds up despite what sprint-preferred hollow heads have to say about a game without the need for advanced movement. I noticed this difference all too well playing the remake...

Me when I have the strongest weapons in the game on a level I’ve played dozens of times on a game I’ve put hundreds of hours into

And you too could get these results by buying Halo MCC at the low low price of 10-40 dollars on Steam, playing the game yourself, and learning! #TotallySponsoredByMicrosoftAndXbox

You could slow Chief's movement down by 50% and wave his arms around and they'd call it an objective improvement.

After playing the Marathon games (floaty, fast-paced like Doom), I can definitely tell they wanted to keep that speed. A game doesn’t need to be high end to be fast and fun.

CE is so good because there are so many ways to play it, methodical and slow, or like Doom, and if you don't have a skill issue they both work.

If they saw this exact speed with speed lines, arms flailing and an animation blocking shooting / offense… they’d be like PERFECT! It’s hilarious honestly.

I think a lot of modern gamers just haven't experienced a good slow methodical combat loop like CE. They more used to cod style games. Which is why 343 copying cod in halo 4 was one of their worst decisions.

Halo was meant to be the slower methodical game at the time though, it's not a bad thing

I was there 3000 years ago, when older PC shooter players laughed at how slow Halo was and called it babby's first shooter. They were used to Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem and the like of frantic shooters. Funny how now it's come full circle with young players calling it too slow

It's significantly slower than Doom, Quake, and Unreal.

The frag grenade at 28s having actual splash damage. I wish any of the modern games gave the frag that much impact and punch.

They perceive it as slow because they don't have the visual effect of sprinting and they can't crouch slide and bounce off the walls like a spastic idiot.

I love CE but let’s not cope. This is relatively slow compared to some other games.

Nothing will be funnier than pulling out a rocket launcher to kill 1 grunt

did you just use a rocket on three grunts

Yea

super soldier's default movement is running full speed while holding their weapon ready (which is different from running fuller speed with screen shake, fov adjustment, and wacky waving arm flailing)
