Facepalm

It's not the worst armor ability you could get.
-Useful when you're trying to catch up with someone to assassinate/sword them.
-If you're good enough that you can win a fight without your armor abilities, it helps you get more kills per game.
-If you're losing a fight, it can help you make a nice escape.
-It can help you reach power weapons before your opponents.

Sprinting is dumb as hell. It allows to run away more and just run in guns a-blazin' causing some bullshit then run out. I don't care if they have it in team slayer or something but in MLG and Objective gameplay it has no place. It takes away a skill and strategy mechanic

You completely missed the point of this thread. It's not Sprint vs. other AA's, it's Sprint vs. No Sprint in competitive play.

Also, every single one of those reasons you listed are completely irrelevant or detrimental to balanced gameplay.

I didn't know you could choose not to have an armor ability in competitive play...

Irrelevent to balanced gameplay?
If someone gets to the power weapons first because they chose not to go with armor lock or invisibility, I think that's pretty balanced.

Again, I'm talking about competitive settings, not random TS shit. I'm not sure if you know how to read.

I fail to see how "sprinting to the other side of the map and shooting" causes havoc.. The point of the game is to kill the enemy team.

If you're sprinting to the other side of the map and shooting, it's a good bet someone on the other team is doing likewise to your side of the map.

Oh noes! H A V O C!!

It doesn't punish the player enough. If you're dicking around across the map, you shouldn't be able to get to where you need to be in 8 seconds, it should take 20+ seconds. Sprint makes it so it's nearly impossible to be out of position and just punishes the good players and rewards the shitty ones.

But it's stupid easy to kill kids sprinting around. Not to mention most of them don't have the reaction time to shoot back midsprit or get their bearing straight in time to shoot as the stop sprinting.

It's not like Sprint's going to be taken out of Reach at this point, so there's no reason to complain about it.. Just adapt and rape the kenyan spartans!
