343i has to be the worse game developer in this generation by far. Do they even listen to their fans? No! Due to the forums rules I can’t mention names. What I can say is some high ranked staff at 343i need sacking to be honest (2 people come into my mind male and female). What possess them in the first place to make these weird and unreliable changes to the Halo franchise is complete stupidity! Also someone at Microsoft said Halo 5 will be “super innovative” / “jaw-dropping” well none of that happened. Only thing was “jaw-dropping” was a deformed Halo 5 game for sure. Read on to find out more.

Let me explain further…

  • Beta
    First of all you release a beta to get feedback and test how things work. So why on earth is the aiming changed a lot since the beta? Literally it was useless having a beta in the first place. So this leads to aiming… - Aiming (mutliplayer)
    I for one can see the aiming is awful straight away. I aimed at an enemy head and dropped 5x bullets using Battle Rifle and yet they did not even die. I get few bullets from an assault rifle (far way) I’m dead. Next enemy, my aiming site was towards the left just off the enemy head and I dropped 2 bullets from a pistol and guess what? It magically somehow killed enemy. The aiming is weird and broken. Bring back the old Halo aiming! - Campaign
    Short and boring. Storyline is pathetic. You play more as Locke than Chief (at this rate should have just taken Chief out). Collecting Skulls or Intels doesn’t unlock any sort of armor. Beating Campaign on Legendary mode doesn’t even unlock anything other than the achievement/s. Solo Legendary mode is too easy (which I have completed). What happened to UNSC weapons? You only start off with UNSC weapons beginning of each mission after the bullets run out it’s a dud weapon. AI is a disaster, when you give them instructions what to do they don’t even listen half the time. The most funniest one I found is when I was down and needed reviving the AI was next to me (on my right) so I asked for assistance, the AI went all the way round and come to my left by that time I ran out of time. - Multiplayer
    Just awful, biggest disaster. It’s basically Pay to Win with the REQ Packs. Warzone modes are pathetic, tried adding bots like Titanfall. It’s annoying at times when your in the middle of a firefight between enemy spartans and stupid bots appear and kill you instead that is if they spawned next to you. Take these stupid computer bots out. Get rid of Warzone and bring back Big Team Battle. There’s less modes in terms of multiplayer. The multiplayer user interface is shambolic. Look at previous Halo games you could easily check peoples stats, ranks etc. All you get is stupid emblems scattered in one area of the screen. I for one couldn’t find out how to mute someone. You always get one of those person that blasts some weird music or has an annoying mic interference noise. Multiplayer just feels like a stripped version of Halo 3/4/Reach. - Ban System
    Seriously this needs fixing! Won’t even explain further about this. Also turn on a setting where own team mates can’t do damage or kill each other. [SIMPLE] - Loadouts
    What’s the point of having loadouts when you can even select your weapon you want to start off with? - Dedicated Servers?
    The amount of times I got kicked out of a match unexpectedly is beyond a joke. Nothing wrong with my internet connection. 64Mbps unlimited and no other devices have any problems with the internet. After the multiplayer match finishes it fails to bring up REQ Pack that I won or stats as it will say “LOADING”. I’ve come across unexpected lags which caused problems. Is this the power of cloud computing that Microsoft were boosting about? - Multiplayer Maps
    Seriously I’ve come across two levels one which is fully blue and the other red. Now imagine playing red v blue. Each team will have an advantage aka camouflage. The design is good but not great. There needs more more levels with more colours instead of fully red or blue. - No Split-Screen, Sacrificed for Graphics + 60FPS
    I have played campaign/multiplayer the graphics are OK and not “jaw-dropping”. I have seen other games that have far way better graphics. It’s not all about graphics but Halo 5 doesn’t even have that “jaw-dropping” “super innovative” feel. What 343i should have done is just gave us 720p or 900p (whatever you want it call it) @ 30FPS with split screen. 343i make decision to drop split-screen and many people complained about this yet 343i ignored and released a final version of the game without split-screen. Game released to the mass public and many people are unhappy about split screen, Amazon reviews full of 1-2 stars review regarding split-screen. All of a sudden someone at 343i is upset regarding this and this now points to Halo 6 having split-screen? That’s what you get for not listening in the first place. - Super Innovative
    All I see is ideas copied from other games. Prometheon/Elite bots in warzone where idea was taken from Titanfall. The look, feel and movement especially dash of Prometheon Soldier idea was taken from Crysis 3 aka Ceph Stalker. So what is actually super innovative? REQ Packs…NO! Idea is taken from FIFA Ultimate Team. What about the game modes? NO! Basically Halo 5 is a stripped version of previous Halo titles. Nothing is super innovative apart for the graphics upscaling and down scaling depending on scenario. That’s about it!If 343i don’t start making dramatic changes to the game and at management level then Halo 5 community will die really fast.

What 343i needs to do with Halo 5/6

  • Fix Aiming - Better User Interface - Split-Screen for Local and Multiplayer - Better Campaign with more Chief - Big Team Battle Replaced for Warzone - Play as Elite (multiplayer) - Bring Back Armor Abilities - Finding Skulls, Intels Unlocks Armor etc - Completing Campaign on Legendary Mode Unlocks Armor etc - Bring Back Map Veto for Multiplayer - Bring Halo 3 Ranking System for Multiplayer

Game Modes for Multiplayer - Elites vs Spartans - Grifball - Infection/Zombies - Doubles Team - Dual Welding Guns - Energy Swords & Hammers - Rockets - Rumble Pit - Previous Halo Maps Remade for Halo 5Finally two people from 343i need sacking no doubt. Halo is the biggest exclusive AAA title for Microsoft and the way 343i have managed the development is beyond a joke. To me Halo 5 felt like a rushed game just to make some really quick money using REQ Packs. No thoughts or planning into campaign, multiplayer. Less focused on what the community wants.

At this rate I will be taking off my armor and going AWOL from Halo and Xbox One. Halo 4 > Halo MCC and now Halo 5 have been awful. Slowly slowly declining in numbers.

What are your thoughts peeps?

Another problem is the fact we don’t technically own the Maps that are on disc. If you are playing without a connection or with a silver account you simply can’t just play around on the maps.

Also, no forge at release. In my opinion, Halo 5 should have been delayed for a few months.

My thoughts, you started off unconstructive then you gave a constructive feedback then you went right back to uncinstructive at the end… the -Yoink- is sacking?

Still constructive none the less.

Thoughts?

Only thought I have right now is how much of a bore these threads are.

Don’t like the game? Don’t play. No need to come in and write up a half-hearted list of stuff you don’t like about it. Feel free to “take off your armor” (?) and get off Waypoint (although I really do hope you aren’t actually thinking anyone here will care enough to list you as AWOL… it’s a game). There are already MORE than enough of these threads all saying the same exact thing in subtly different ways. Yours, however, goes on to personally attack the employees at 343i. That is so out of line I don’t even know where to start. Not the place, man… like, AT ALL.

You haven’t brought any new or unique problems to the table here in this thread, you’re just cluttering the forum with more opinionated hate.

Basically, my thoughts are thus: This thread is so cringeworthy, it made me waste my first post on Waypoint. Damn, dude.

Another disaster is SWAT. You get a 1-sec respawn and you’re either spawn trapping or being trapped. 343 completely wrecked this game type.

Just biding my time to Star Wars BF. Thought I’d be playing Halo 5 for a solid year but now it won’t last a month with me. At least the trade-in value should be decent.

**343i didn’t make the game to my specifications, therefore it is a failure in every respect…

You guys are ridiculous.

8

Are you insane? I’m not saying the game is perfect by any means and it has it’s issues (which will get fixed) but this is a damn good game and feels more like Halo to me than 4 ever did. Maybe you’re just not good at this game yet.

9

Only got a paragraph in before the broken English forced me to either stop reading or shove the nearest sharp object into my eyes…I decided to just stop reading. However, the short part that I did read sounded a lot like “Waaaaa, I suck at aiming and thought I was shooting at someone’s head but actually it was a wall!”

Play 5 games on SWAT and there’s your definition of ridiculous.

Halo 5 is great, get over it.

This game should have been delayed for a feature most of us never touch? Well ok then. That’s some fine logic.

13

this is just another rant from am un-educated halo player… I think your better suited to COD buddy. If you knew 343 and the true H5 stoerylie you wouldn’t think any of this. Halo 5 is building a bridge to something huge with all new characters and taking the game in a new direction. Just sit back chill enjoy H5 for what it is and wait for updates on the MP side of things and then… BOOM HALO 6…
Or if you really hate it that much the simple solution is to stop playing it.

14

Couldn’t care less about the story line, it’s the game mechanics that’s the issue. When you release a game with known and significant dead zone issues then that’s just another nail in the coffin.

15

Just tone down the points given for war zone bosses and everything in H5 is sweet in my opinion.

16

Stop complaining. Learn to accept. Or you will get rekt kid.

Same here. Pretty much all I read was “wah wah wah im not good at the game so I should come on here and complain”

That’s some pretty dumb advice right there.

I think that there are a lot of things to like about Halo 5 but I’m let down with some of the choices they’ve made. Theater mode, bad spawn points, lack of maps. HOPEFULLY these things can be fixed and adjusted in future updates.

19

Other than AR being to strong I haven’t had any issues no lag nothing never been kicked out of any games nothing. The campaign was allot better than halo 4 and it wasn’t to short. I like it.

OP says bring back armor abilities.

If anything could show how far away you are from what Halo 5 is about, there you go. This game is not that.
