Halo was never "too slow."
One reason some say classic Halo is "too slow" is because they don't understand that FOV greatly impacts our perception of speed.
Halo 2 & Halo 3 had a FOV of around 70 on Xbox. A low FOV makes us see things as being slower than they actually are.
In the video, you can see that a high field of view (right) makes the games feel faster even though the base player movement speed is the same in both videos.
Devs set a FOV of around 60-70 for console games and a higher FOV of around 90-100 for PC games. The ability to change your FOV on console games became common after 2007.
Gamers have become used to a higher FOV, so now when they play a game with a lower FOV, some of them feel the game is too slow. Now consider the fact that a lot of modern shooters are also fast-paced because of advanced mobility. This, combined with a high FOV, has made some people (especially the newer generation who haven’t played shooters during or before the 2007 era) feel the classic Halo games are "unplayable" and "boring" because they're "too slow," when they're not. If the games were "too slow," then they wouldn't have been as successful as they were. Clearly, the formula worked and was enjoyed and loved by tens of millions of people.
Sprint or other advanced mobility mechanics don't necessarily make a game fast-paced, in fact, in some cases, it slows gameplay down. What truly matters and what truly determines the speed of a game is the intensity of the experience.
