Now, let's make this completely clear. I want to hear some kind of agreement on the subject from both sides: is Halo 5 closer to a twitch shooter than "previous" Halo games? I don't want "Well it's kind of like Halo x and y game together", I want to know how the pacing compares. Is it following the trend of the series in getting faster and faster?
mobility-wise, yes. it's hard to say when it comes to the actual gunplay. if the final game keeps the arena-style map pickups the original trilogy had, that will be a step back closer to arena style and further from the class-based games that influenced the mobility aspects of the game and the changes to gunplay mechanics.
I dislike sprint in Halo. Not because "m-muh slow and deliberate", fucking UT players run at DOOMGUY speeds. Arena games usually have Mach-1 running in them. My problem is basically what was outlined in the OP: it's not a game that was made with sprint in mind, so adding it in introduces more problems than it fixes (see: none). If they went back and rebuilt the system with it in mind? I can't say I'd be thrilled to have another twitch shooter, but it'd be better than the build of compromises that currently exists.
I like that they're not going full-on twitch shooter, but there isn't really a "healthy middle" between the two styles. A game that's half arena, half twitch shooter is only half good at being an arena shooter and half good at being a twitch shooter. That's even in the case that the game has zero flaws outside of the compromises.
the closest analogue to the H5 beta that we have right now is lolReach, and we all know how that ended. normalizing abilities was a step in the right direction- at least now everyone is on equal footing again. sprint is only really a problem on smaller arena-style maps, which sucks because those tended to be the best maps in the original series. midship and citadel, for example, would have been absolutely god fucking awful with sprint, but something like sandbox or zanzibar wouldnt have been that bad with sprint.

Too bad that the results will be exactly the same no matter who gets elected. precisely
if we went by popular vote, instead of having this electoral college horseshit, maybe i would bother voting
because the fact is, i'd vote for a third party every single time
which will be a waste
it will amount to nothing
because of the system we have
i take the "you have no right to complain" shit a little offensively because of that
i'm just a guy who recognizes that it won't make a difference, and thus, won't waste his time
maybe if they gave out free cookies at the polls
The electoral college nearly always reflects the popular vote.
but when it doesn't, it's a big deal. 2000.

people itt hating on halo 2/h3, somehow forgetting that was the last time halo could compete with the other AAA fps titles in long-term population statistics. and completely ignoring how MLG dropped halo like a rock when it became clear that the franchise was dead... fuckin casuals, man. i've had these same conversations over and over again since the abysmal reach launch, it always ends the same. im sure the campaign will be interesting, but competitive halo is dead and gone.

How anyone can hate Reach completely befuddles me
It had good custom games, but virtually no one to play with, since the matchmade multiplayer scared off millions of people. It's actually the reason I like Reach better than H4, though: H4 had terrible multiplayer AND terrible custom games.
H4 had some fun customs. mongoose racing was still great, ultimate football (i guess they call it ricochet now?) is a fuckin blast, and mech wars is awesome.

how wouldn't it work? if the smartest, most talented people in the world can't fix our shit, who can?
Humans aren't a collective which can be easily managed.
The most important job for government is to provide a stable system, inside which people have the liberty to be self-reliant and flourish.
so less is more, provide the framework and the social security and the people will do the rest.

There's no reasoning with these blind 343 fanboys. We'll see the truth come out in a year or so. More of the same, in all likelihood. Halo is a rotting corpse. We should let it rest in peace.

wouldnt a technocracy accomplish the same thing with less room for error?
Only if it were a very minimalist/conservative technocracy.
You can't have experts running all or even most aspects of society and the economy, because it just doesn't work.

Enlightened despotism is quite clearly the best structure and function for a government.
It's just a shame they're exceptionally difficult to manufacture.

At the end of the day, Halo isn't about the experience anymore. It's about the money. 343 isn't Bungie. They don't understand Bungie's vision for the original trilogy and they certainly don't understand why CE/2/3 were the greatest FPS games of this century. 
tell me, why do you think reach and halo 4 and mcc have been such horrific flops?
Halo 4 was a commercial success, and the MCC was as well. Halo 4 failed in keeping a large population because it tried to be something that it wasn't.
The MCC is currently having issues because it was a massive undertaking built by multiple companies across the globe that had to complete a task that had never been done before in time for a strict release date.
destiny was a commercial success as well, but that doesn't magically mean it isn't a giant piece of shit. what's really important is population statistics over time. reach sold well but the population dropped quickly and it was the last halo game on the MLG circuit (for good reason.) halo 4 sold well, and we all know how that ended. same with mcc. you proved my point here- this shit is happening because of interference from and pandering to the corporate bigwigs.
