A lot of people have been complaining about Halo 5, and being overall nit-picky. The most common complaints are no elites for online, and no split-screen. Yes, it’s a shame to not have those things, but a lot of people whiz past what Halo 5 seems to be doing well. So, as it goes, here are 15 reasons why I think Halo 5 could be the game to reunite the community.
- Campaign’s story looks to be a dramatic 10/10
- The return of Buck
- The return of Blue Team
- Two-sided story
- The return of the Arbiter
- More exploration and open-world
- Commanding your own team
- Arena is a return-to-form. It’s very competitive and fun to play, with fair starts, neither load-outs, perks, nor kill-streaks (ordinance)—such as Halo 2–3, mostly
- 20 maps at launch
- 15 free DLC maps
- Warzone looks epic
- The Spartan abilities were well-implemented into the gameplay, so Arena feels great
- Legendary weapons!
- I know this is pretty underrated, but the graphics look amazing!
- Possibility of Forge to be the best ever
Have any more reasons? Let me know!
EDIT: Due to the responses from you lovely ladies and… other Spartans, I have more reasons to add:
16) Dedicated Servers across all modes
17) Revives in campaign add more depth and overall strategy
18) 60 frames per second
19) New vehicles are epic!
20) Soundtrack is beautifully amazing
21) Phenomenal sound effects
22) Great armor design
23) We get to travel through three different worlds, such as Sanghelios
24) It’s confirmed to be the BIGGEST Halo yet!
25) Unique HUDs add a little bit more personality to each character
26) Lowest aim-assist of any Halo game so far, making it even more skill-based
27) The return of skulls
Don’t forget return of the classic halo music! Plus new music!
I’m liking the positivity of this topic…nice to see a ray of sunshine in an otherwise dark forum.
How about also a sandbox not designed around one gun being dominant? That’s a pretty big deal to me.

- A “return to form” would have no Spartan Abilities or weapon callouts, realistically.
- Indeed it does
- Highly debatable.

I think everything that has an opinion on this list is highly debatable, but I had no qualms with Halo 5 beta. I saw no issue. I like his ‘return-to-form’ comment. Because it doesn’t mean regressing into the abyss of (sadly) boredom that would be recreating a Halo 2 or Halo 3 games multiplayer. (no one wants to move that slow anymore…) It’s less UNEVEN, I think, then Halo 4 was. I agree with his comments.
OP, you are certainly a Ray of Sunshine. Thank you for posting such a positive post.

Yeah, no more BB guns among Battle Rifles.
Great post. I believe Halo 5 will be a vast improvement over Halo 4!
I think there is far too much positivity in this post for these forums. Please leave and return when you fancy complaining.
But I have to agree with these points. I am looking forward to this game so much, mainly the return of the Arbiter.

You mean moreso optimism not positivity right? I see it quite hard despite the shenanigans of the MCC, makes me surprised how trusting consumers can be.

- Dedicated servers across all modes. Campaign co op,Ranked PvP and Custom games.
Dedicated servers is my No. 1, please put that on the list! Online lag has been the biggest factor holding me back from fully enjoying the game for 10 years or more of playing Halo.
Dedicated Servers (hopefully)
