Hey guys! Now we’ve all gone through a lot now as halo fans (recently). And although I’m still going to buy halo 5 no matter what, I thought we as a community needed a way to vent out in a fun way! I only go to 23, so you guys finish it up ha. Anyway, I don’t even know if there are 43 problems with halo 5/343 so I know this is nitpicky!! Have fun guys
Moving forward:
Excellent addition of both arena and warzone, hopefully a way to please both the competitive and casual scene. Great!
Amazing marketing and story build up, with more possibility for character development and interaction.
Solid gameplay with seemingly balanced aspects; much better than halo 4! No more ordinance or AAs!
Now…:
Removal of 4-player split screen. (About 4 months ago people were upset about this announcement.)
Removal of ALL split screen! And then came the second blow to enrage many.
Removal of playable elites (halo 2?).
Removal of actual armor customization/Spartan individuality (2 pieces and maybe visor. Yay…)
Removal of a third game mode. Firefight was great, and Spartan ops was OK. Warzone isn’t really a third game mode I believe, just an extension of BTB.
Not a huge graphical upgrade since halo 4.
Removal of LAN.
Removal of LAN!
REMOVAL OF LAN!!!
Sprint still here…it’s okay.
Addition of ground pound (I don’t have anything against it, but it seems like an advertisement gimmick and useless in real competitive play.)
Addition of shoulder charge. (Same as above).
Zoom Stabilizers (same again).
Micro transactions at all.
BR has a single shot (almost haha).
ADS/smart scope
Lost feel of “aloneness” or solitude in campaign. There will always be 3 other guys watching you and blabbing.
The explosions…
The lack of flying vehicles/any vehicles.
Paper vehicles.
Sarah Palmer in warzone for announcements XD.
Jeff sounds way too angry and fake for announcements, he sounded much, much better in 3/reach and even in earlier development (as seen with the SPRINT series).
Loss of faith in 343 since MCC, will effect halo 5 sales and population.
Just a quick heads up, a lot of people disagree with you. And a lot of others have more tha 43 reasons to Halo halo 5,and a looking for more every second

Yeah like I said, nitpicky! The player models look amazing! But I think some areas didn’t quite look as good at they could have. Anywa, I hope it was just for e3 and they will refine it!!

Well, this was just for fun and I want to hear what you guys think they have done going forward or not! Like I said, I liked halo 5 a lot and thinking of 43 negative points is almost impossible
Please… just stop. I agree with none of your reasons.
The removal of elites and split-screen doesn’t even bother me. I never used them.
I love sprint. I love the shoulder charge and ground pound.
The Spartans look awesome and I never mix matched my spartan armor anyways. Going for complete sets. And now that that they don’t have to worry about clipping of armor that doesn’t fit well, your seeing some amazingly cool armor come out.
The rest of your issues are to me, your own biased opinion or steps forward in my biased opinion.
Or the issues of a unfinished product that is still months from release
i don’t understand these people who want to play elites in multiplayer. It was unbalanced and completely unfair for people who played them the hit boxes were larger than the spartans, and they’re aiming for balance in this game which is something elites just wouldn’t fit into.

In Halo 3 it was extremely easy to get a headshot on an elite in Swat or Snipers. I don’t see the appeal, either.

This is something I been saying in every elite thread. Hell Bungie finally admitted it and made the Elites a completely separate class from spartans in halo 4. Faster base speed. Slightly stronger shields. Regenerative health. But huge hit boxes. They played completely different.
That’s why you only saw them invasion or Elite slayer. And never in a mixed slayer type like you saw them test out on the vidoc
I’m sure I could come up with a list just as long of things I hate about the original games. Right off the top of my head:
Noob combo
BR-dominated weapon sandbox
Projectile and random spread on Halo 3 BR
Too many grenades in Halo 2
Spawn trapping
Crappy hit detection, especially in Halo 3
Bullet refund
Horrible lag when playing campaign co-op
Underpowered shotgun in Halo 2
No animation for throwing a grenade while moving in CE, which leads to people sliding across the ground as they throw the grenade
Jump delay in CE
In a match, the host reigns supreme in all three games.
No more right now, those are just the first things that came to my mind. No Halo game has been perfect, nor has any game in general, so stop expecting Halo 5 to be.

Dude, you’re not considering all the details!
I don’t really care for Splitscreen, but I would be glad if they add it running on 30 fps for people who want it! (prefearable after launch so that they can focus on what they are doing right now!)
Elites… I like to shoot at them in multiplayer, I never play as them, and I’ ll miss them a bit, but they just don’t fit Spartan Abilities, and it would be very weird giving them similar abilities balanced with Spartan Abilities for two reasons: First, Campaign would only feature Spartan Abilities (i’m pretty sure we won’t play anymore as the Aribter…) so, after you played Campaign it would be very weird having different abilities with your Sangheili character, it would be some sort of “a different game” from Halo 5 and it would destroy equal starts (every player must behave on the battlefield in the same way). Second, in past Halo games Elites almost behaved in the same way in both Campaign and MP, so it means that if they would add Elites in MP they should have Spartan Abilities (or similar) also in Campaign, and it would be VERY weird since Elites does fight differently from Spartans (lore speaking), in fact I think past games are a little wrong on that side.
Customization: 343 said the beta was a small part of the customization dude!!! ->edit: just read it is like the beta with more armors and helmets, yeah that sucks a lot…
- FIREFIGHT: they said if we REALLY want it they’ll add it (JUST KEEP TELLING THEM WE NEED IT: 343 -> ADD FIREFIGHT AFTER LAUNCH!!!)
Graphics: If you create a 3D model composed of 100 triangles and then you create a more detailed one with 1000 triangles you’ll se a big difference (this was happening 10 years ago) but if you create a 3D model composed of 10.000 triangles and then you create a more detailed one with 100.000 triangles you won’t see a big difference (NOWADAYS). Also, compare Halo 4 and Halo 5 by zooming in, you’ll see that most of the Halo 4 model has textures instead of real modeling, and those textures have also a worst resolution than Halo 5 (left shoulder, left arm, small details on the elmet.)
Removal of LAN -> Where is the source of this??? I never heard that
we need sprint. there is nothing wrong with Halo 5’s gameplay. it is perfect- Ground Pound, Spartan Charge, Zoom Stabilizers: Ground Pound is cool, and not very easy to use, and it can be useful, same for Spartan Charge. I deactivated Zoom Stabilizers during the beta cause they make you an easy target.
Micro transictions: Surely better than buying maps, and I want to point out that non aesthetic items will ONLY work in Warzone, where everybody will have OP weapons
Smart Scope: it has been said million of times that it is the same as the old zoom, it is only an aesthetic change (welcomed.)
Campaign teams: Halo Reach had a team too, and I’m really happy for squad commands! (lonliness is not needed in ALL of the Halo games dude! eg. Halo 3 had some loneliness levels like “Cortana” but also levels where you were always with Marines!)
Explosions: yeah, they need more light! ->Scarab explosion from Halo 3- Flying vehicles: there is the Banshee and the NEW Phaeton
Paper vehicles: if the vehicle is almost broken and you have shields WHY shouldn’t it explode???
Sarah Palmer announcements: I didn’t notice that because I’m italian and obviously she has a different dubber in the italian version, yeah, it’s not cool, I hate her XD
Don’t see the problem with Jeff (Italian dubbing maybe?)
How about the chief being hunted just for going mia? Hey guys gonna take a few days off just finished saving the human race from extinction. Nah buddy you a traitor!! Wtf!!
