So I’ve been reading alot comments from the so called “long time” fans that Halo isn’t Halo anymore and it’s turning to COD/Titanfall with all these new spartan abilities, ADS and sprint.
A simple solution would be just make a playlist without those abilities and have ADS only on the weapons that have zoom capibilites like BR, Magnum, etc. Name it “Classic” or something. It would shut alot of people up.
Not a “terrible” idea… But even so, the complain train would keep rolling.
Also, they added the H2/H3 BR scope that does not use ADS. It looks amazing and will hopefully help the ADS part of this

That’s -Yoink- because I pay the ENTIRE game, not a single playlist!
But then people would start complaining about something else. It’s human nature to complain.

Bingo. The masses will always have something that bugs them.
Remember when they attempted to implement that in Halo 4. Nobody used it.
What if they prompted you w/ a message when starting up the game asking for “classic” or “modern” preferences? Based off that the game only puts you in matches w/ the same preference, creating two separate “realms”. The player can choose to switch between the two any time in the menu (excluding in-game matches or in lobby). This would be similar to how Grand Theft Auto V separates servers and players by the targeting option they prefer.
I like the idea of a classic playlist, but people need to get over themselves. If they want Halo 2 gameplay, they can play Halo 2. The same goes for all the other games. They are changing it to appeal to the largest amount of people. They would much rather appeal to 5 new people than keep one old fan. Sorry, but it’s true. Personally, I embrace the change and can’t wait to see where Halo goes.
I don’t like the classic playlist, it’ll just lessen the population of the other playlists.
Tbh if they did this I would be incredibly happy. That being said as I don’t have the time to play halo competitively anymore, the changes don’t bother me as much as they should. H5 clearly looks like it’s a lot less about skill in some aspects though.
No one can fix the complaint of no johnson
I’m about as a “long time” halo fan you can get considering I played CE day one and played competitively way back in the day. So, I suppose I can contribute my opinion for the “long time” fan side.
As a long time fan, I absolutely adore the original trilogy. Ce being my favorite and then 2 and 3. That said, I understand that Halo needs to evolve in order to stay relevant and fresh.
Halo Reach had some strong points, but all in all, its cons greatly outweighed it’s pros and was a bust.
Halo 4 was just a clustet f*** and tried to be something it wasn’t and just added some things that was a horrid idea to begin with. Example being promethean vision, loadouts, returning the jetpack, ect.
Halo 5 on the hand has gone back to an even playing field, focused on the golden triangle while adding Spartan Abilities that aren’t game breaking. Making high quality arenea maps and have put a ton of attention on balancing gun play.
With that said and having played the beta, Halo 5 Guardians feels like a proper evolution of Halo. Not just throwing throwing things into a game that might be cool and hoping it all works out.
People need to adapt or just herd into a classic playlist.
Have fun playing your “halo” game when it’s dead in 3 or 4 months. It’s inevitable. Maybe then you guys will admit classic Halo gameplay is KING.

If Classic Halo is so much KING… (Been there since Halo basically was born, so i am not new here) Why in the world is the population on those games so low compared?
Classic mp is always in my heart but it is time to welcome some new spins to the franchise. Buying Halo 5 doesn’t mean you automatically think less of the old Multiplayers.

I wasn’t around during that time… but AA and Ordnance-free Halo 4 is pretty much the only way to play Halo 4 on the MCC.
And people seem to really like it…
Even if they did that, they will find something else to -Yoink- about
Seems like you can turn off sprint in custom games. Not sure about Spartan abilities but Josh Holmes said they’ll have lots of options for custom games.

Or they can go f themselves and 343 can continue on supporting the majority and not the “haters”
