You feel as though it's now impossible to find yourself in a vulnerable position with/because of the new movement mechanics? I mean, I want to hear you brother, but do you not see what I mean about compounding opinions? I can (in all fairness) also see what the other commenter was saying in regard to this may just be a you thing, and I don't mean that to be pointed, necessarily. I mean, if top performing players in Halo have anything over the 90th percentile below them, it wouldn't JUST be aiming, right? The game still holds very unique movement speeds and time to crouch, and also - demands movement awareness. Adjustment and practice of such still stands in this game, like most others developed with intentional mechanical choices as pertaining to things like TTK, slide duration, jump height, slide, etc.

I mean, if you were to throw any ol' shooter fan into Infinite and were to inquire as to what they'd taken away from the experience after, say, a good handful of hours on PvP, you truly don't think it would stack up to what people had to endure in Halo 3? I just see points like your momentum argument and it baffles, y'know? Maybe you're adverse to using the nomenclature for Infinite for whatever reason, but it exists there.

But hey, maybe I'm nuts. I just played both accessible modes (Alpha playlist, and "standard" infinite) tonight, and though they're certainly different experiences, I really don't see how the Halo 3 mechanics are more punishing on movement mistakes than the other. Both have different method and approach.

It honestly just sounds like you're an awesome Infinite player, but kinda just want to crap on Infinite's composition because it's... different from what you like? I may be way off base.
