To be rather honest, I was disappointed with the multiplayer of Halo 4 even though I made it to SR 130, I felt there wasn’t a lot of variety to the game modes. But Halo 5: Guardians I feel has redeemed 343 on so many levels. With Breakout and an extremely amazing forge mode alone, I’m very pleased. The fact tha they brought back Swat also made me happy. Another thing that amazed me just by the trailers, was the groundpound and spartan charge capabilities. They make your character feel so much stronger as spartans should be. I also feel like with the xbox one, they can now make the spartans a lot more powerful like they’re described to be in Halo: The Fall of Reach. Well done, 343i
They did well on the game as being multiplayer, I am still not a fan that it requires a XboxLive Gold membership to use Forge. I understand why it does, I just don’t like that and being my only complaint is not that bad. I too was very disappointed with the Halo 4 multiplayer.
Spartan Charge really doesn’t belong in the game, as it is a low risk high reward ability, compared to Ground pound, which requires you to sacrifice the Higher grou8nd (A big advatnage) in the hope of getting a kill.
I also really hate the Immersion argument for Multiplayer. In a Multiplayer game that prides itself on being competitive, Balance should be priority at all times. I don’t care if being able to spartan charge immerses you as some sort of badass, its breaks balance and rewards sprtining, something that 343 have tried to discourage with the fact you no longer charge shields while sprinting.
I like this game a lot just not the micro transactions and req packs, things should be unlocked through leveling up and achievements and ranks!
Even though the game still lacks a lot of gamemodes and is still in need of more maps, if 343 will just add more playlists and actually leave them in the game instead of always removing them (with the exception of the rotational playlist), such as Doubles and Social Slayer, then that would make a big difference
