While I personally enjoyed the enhanced Spartan movement set in 5, I wouldn't be opposed to a more traditional Halo experience.

Halo 5 - Mythic Arena mode is awesome (no sprint, increased movement speed, less abilities etc) Is this a option for Halo Infinite MP?

Yeah, thrust seems like a good compromise for those who want sprint. It basically gives the same function to an extent (Quickly get-away or change direction).
I think this might be a taste of things to come with Halo Infinite. However, I don't expect a mode like this to be the full-on only MP option for Infinite.
I do see something like this being the standard for Ranked and Esports play however. With casual modes being more "typical" of what you'd expect in today's shooters. Similar to how say Smash has modes with both Items and no Items for online.

They are made in the map editor (forge).
Fuck I wish we knew more about Infinite. I don't know what to expect. I'm thinking a push towards all things more classic though (art, gameplay etc). Which I would absolutely love. Though I wonder how they will bring it up to be more "modern" you know? I'm all for no sprint, but for the average shooter fan in 2020 wouldn't they be like what the hell is this?
I don't understand why bungie did this for several maps in reach and 343 has done it for 5. They just don't look good at all. If these were user made maps, that's one thing, but if 343 made these....cmon
Either way I'm still redownloading Halo 5 and it's ultimately not a huge deal I just don't get it tbh
I hope 343 used the regular Halo 5 multiplayer as a basis for Halo Infinite. They're on the right track. We'll always have the classic Halos for that classic gameplay.
One of the things I was thinking Is what if they kept Sprint for BTB and Warzone and Campaign, and made Arena (4v4,5v5) more like Mythic.
In this case maps are simple and clean to evoke that classic Halo feel.
Personally, I want Halo maps designed like this. Less busy, more colorful, clean, almost basic-looking, etc.
Agreed.
I thoroughly enjoyed my short time with Halo 5, even though I just played the FFA and Team Slayer modes. The game felt great to me at least, even though 3 is my all time favorite mostly due to the nostalgia factor/memories I have playing the fuck out of it during my teens.
I think Halo 5 has the best gameplay and multiplayer in the series, but it would be even better if sprint was removed (and to a lesser degree, clamber) i.e. resembling the Mythic playlist.
-Drop sprint, and increase base movement speed.
- Remove clamber, add a bunny-hop double-jump (provides same function as clamber, but would facilitate greater verticality and 360 degree movement at all times)
- Remove Spartan charge
- Keep slide
Perfection

You should really try this before the playlist is gone, it's amazing
I just tried right now and i couldn't find a match :(. I found matches in quick play but not in Mythic. I'll give another shot later.
I don't see the issue with clamber so long as maps are not designed around its usage. If I barely miss a jump, I wouldn't mind that mechanic saving me. Hell, in most games it's included in now it's not even considered a mechanic, just a standard for convenience.
Why take it away?

I'm still of the opinion Halo should innovate in regards to weapon/vehicle sandbox and map interaction/destructible elements. Even the equipment in Halo 3 was a much better addition than loadouts in Reach and I think expanding/improving on the equipment in Halo 3 would have been better than what Bungie did with Reach.
You need sprint for it.
Oh yeah, they should work out some kinda quake top speed deal.
I feel the same, it's such a commonplace mechanic too. I don't think I can even name a big FPS that doesn't use it
Because a poorly timed jump and the option of missing stuff adds to the game, maps are designed in the original to flow a certain way while still giving ways to create quicker paths by crouch jumping, and in some cases it's a bit of a ballsy play.
Clamber also is this disjointed second where you can't shoot or anything, and part of why people want sprint n stuff gone is because Halos movement allows you to do everything you need while still being able to shoot at all times.
Execution mechanics have merit, especially in multiplayer.
I did originally put "modern", instead of "big", but I was foolish.
Halo is the closest we are ever going to get to a popular arena shooter like unreal tournament. I'm hoping they dont fuck up infinite.
I don't think the playlist is that great because of the big awful maps and the H2 br doesn't work well as a starting weapon in H5.
But that doesn't mean the idea can't work in Infinite if the game was designed for it.
I haven't played it yet, but from the gameplay I have seen it instantly started making me wonder if this could be a Beta test of sorts of Halo Infinite.
Bring it back to 30 FPS so it feels worse? What am I reading lol.
Edit: Actually, is this a common sentiment? The MCC games at 60 FPS feel so much better than the Xbox + 360 games at 30 FPS?

Ah, that was my first thought but then I thought I'd give the user benefit of the doubt.
If you can have locked 60 FPS over 30 FPS... why not? Smoother, more responsive, it's just a better experience for the gamer.
I'm speaking on this particular execution. The idea could work but this won't.
Was playing some of this last night and ended up having a couple pretty intense matches.
I was previously all-in on Spartan Abilities sticking around, but a Halo 3 LAN last year reminded me how approachable those games used to be (having folk come by who hadn't ever played a Halo title before). There's a lot more to explain if you're passing someone a controller for Halo 5 vs one of those earlier games; I can see the argument about simplicity being king here.

Community: we want Infinite to be a refined version of this, a better and modernized Halo 2/3, the glory days
343 Industries: Gotcha, Infinite will have two times as much Sprint and Abilities than our previous game. We'll toss in a classic side mode once again so you people realize how much you don't miss it.

This. I really loved Halo 5 MP, it they go back I'm I'm probably just going to move on. Halo 3 was amazing but just felt too damn slow.
