if they are "higher up" im 90% sure they have enough power to complain about it lmao

Or perhaps even the people up there have their hands tied.

Complete and utter nonsense. True "higher-ups" can make that call.
Those you mention are then not "higher-ups". They are simply puppets.

But of course it sounds lovely to be able to say you know "higher-ups". People will respect you for knowing them!

It was considered in Halo 2 but scrapped in early development because they realised how gamebreaking it was. Halo would probably ee long dead if they went with it.

They only added it to Reach to prototype stuff for Destiny. Really Reach was just one big Destiny pre-alpha. And besides the negative feedback and quickly dropping population of Reach, 343i still decided to build up from the prototype called Reach while they should have built up from the last succesfull Halo game.

The truth
It hurts
Hurghh

So you are seriously going to ignore those glassed captures?

I mean cereasly guys....

One of the instances, the fin thingies has a bad UV which pisses the hell out of me. There isn't anything worth commenting on IMO.

Thanks for pointing that out :D
It has been fixed at this point :)

It wasn't scrapped because it was gamebreaking in H2, H2 was just a crap show and they never got it in. Then they tried again in H3.

Reach was done by a completely different gameplay designer, who was doing the types of things people hated about Reach long before he even worked at Bungie. You can go check out the Shadowrun Alpha and you'll see that the designer had a mind of his own on what he wanted to do. That said, Reach is just a mashup of his ideas and other ideas in Halo games that were cut (wildlife, boats, guardian forest, sprint, falcon) or the community wanted (ie jetpacks, space combat)

We could do it, it would just be a lot less fancy in terms of in-between parts. And we'd still have Slowbullet as he simply does not wanna quit. (I wonder if he's still drinking)

My sources tell me it was indeed scrapped because it was gamebreaking.
One reason was that the classic map remakes would have been broken by such a game-shifter.

If they really went with it they would have shown it in the 2003 E3 demo, as it was after that when they scrapped everything.

Except there is support in it in the H2 engine which was rewritten after E3 2003, and they animated it into several weapons after E3 2003. And then there is further development on it in H3.

I have full code access to the H2 engine through my sources I cannot name.
I quickly checked the code, and can confirm there is no support for it at all.

lol masters they didn't try again in halo 3. The animator confirmed nothing was done for it. And it was cut because it was breaking the pace.

It doesn't matter if they planned it or not, what matters is if they didn't implant it. And if they did, Halo would have been killed right there.

You can easily go look in the H3 maps and you'll see there are new flags for it, clearly they did something with it after H2. Sprint was a feature H2 was even announced with, regardless of how well it worked it was inevitable for a Halo game.

Sprint the way it was planned for H2 wasn't even intended to be initiated by button presses, it's impossible to judge how it well it would have worked. It doesn't seem like it was ever even expected to be something people could do in combat.

Halo 2 was not announced with sprint.

This was posted early 2003, I believe X02 was in the fall of 2002? So not exactly at announcement but probably the first PR that came out after it was announced it was a thing

Just do a search for sprint

I was referring to the actual announcement trailer, but I actually recall reading that "sketchy" Q&A back in the day. Peeking around corners and flash-bangs were all at least mentioned in it too.

Those features would have all been quite neat for single player. In retrospect I'm surprised flash bangs never made it into Halo.

Flare tho.

Moon bases?
Strategy?columns and doors will shatter into pieces when they take damage?new advanced real-time lighting engine?The Human 4 wheel ATV and several Warthog variants?

Halo 2 is still a game in development?,becouse feels so promising

I can open a biped in H2Guerilla, and tell you that bipeds support boosting... of course, that's because its implemented in the Unit super type, but I assume the ex-sprint probably runs off that. The player biped animations don't have any sprint, in third person, or any of the FPs I've ever seen.

I'm going to have to agree with Masters on this one, Halo 2's production was far too chaotic to even remotely have a meaningful implementation of Sprint. To put it plainly, most developers of Halo 2 were just glad the game had an "ending." They were more worried if the game would ever hit the stores than incorporating an overly complex plot or extraneous gameplay mechanics.

Just to clarify, discussion to add a feature and actual attempts to implement it are two different things. Halo 2/3 are examples of the former that didn't make it to production. Halo: Reach is an exemplary of the ladder.

Tell that to the Covenant.

Wake me, when you need me.

We'll make it.

For a brick, he flew pretty good.

STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON
