It’s closing in on the one year anniversary of Halo 5, and I ask myself . Self is Halo 5 a good game?
I answer yes, BUT I’m a die hard fan of Halo in general. So my answer is biased.
The game is very playable. Warzone is a massive success, and it seems the HCS is taking off quite well too.
I’m stoked that 343 gave us free content and the plan is to continue to give the gamers free updates. Well as much as I appreciate that I must say please stop making armor variants. Please stop making warzone loadout weapons. We wants maps. If you give us good maps regardless if they’re remakes from previous Halo’s or not we won’t care as long as they’re good.
At this point in the game if you make more REQ thins it should consist of (example) the brute chopper, mauler, prowler, and brutes in warzone. And yes weapon skins everyone loves weapon skins.
Besides that I feel you guys should focus on making the servers better (if possible) to heighten the gaming experience. Countless times i get blank melees, shot through walls, and the occasion sponge Spartan soaking up all the shots.
Another thing you guys said the population was very good however I continue to play a team the consecutively like 4 times in a row. Yes even when I go in solo I match teams of 3 or 4. Strange at this point in the game. Although I’m glad I find games it becomes annoying at the same time.
Halo 5 is what 90 gigs and growing. That’s insane. Maybe that’s some cause of lag there. I’m not sure. Anyways I don’t wanna get sidetracked.
If I was to assess the progression of Halo 5 from release until now, I would say you guys done a fine job. The only thing is I wish you would focus on fixing the issues the game has before adding anymore content. That’s all.
Keep up the hard work 343.
Game on.

I’m iffy on wz being a success,while the premise is good I feel that it was executed wrong…and even though I do use some weapon skins,I feel like they don’t belong in halo,and yes more DEV made maps would be great
343 have done a great job with the game in my opinion. Yes it has it’s flaws and problems but i enjoy it and it’s a good game overall. Im not too fussed with armour variations and stuff like that, i will agree that more maps would be awesome. The thing i think would be best is an update for bug fixes and server problems. No extra content, no new weapons. An update just for fixing the game. I think that would be best right now, seeing as Halo 5 is so close to it’s first year this update seems most important. However, i do think more DLC updates are awesome too, i just think they should prioritise whats best right now.
Halo 5 got 4 things right :
-
The gameplay (I want sprint, Spartan charge and smart scope gone for halo 6) - The soundtrack is so good it I listen to it on my phone - Forge. Enough said. - HCS was a massive successLets just quickly sum up the negatives
-
Terribe story - Lack of content (Where is KOTH, Oddball and Juggernaut?) - Sprint and Spartan Charge completely ruins the radar - Warzone was a great idea that was executed poorly - The req system is way to big and RNG unlocks defiantly didn’t help - Lack of splitscreen turned a lot of people off this game. - The game was too competitive and alienated the casual community
WZ has been awesome, 343 finally put out a decent Infection. For me, Halo 5 has been a success and well worth the money. I hope they build off this momentum.

Im probably the only one who likes sprint and spartan charge. I do agree it sucks because its an easy kill and the motion tracker being 18m doesn’t help at all. If it were 25m like in the old Halo’s, i think it would play a lot better.

I agree man, I’ve hardly put down the controller since buying it. It’s pretty much the only game i play now.
I love it and play it more now than I did back when it just came out, but that’s mainly because I just got my degree and my whole senior year was dedicated to making sure I passed two semesters of organic chemistry, the bane of my existence. This is BY FAR my favorite Halo. No other Halo can compare to how amazingly awesome Warzone is. Nothing in any other Halo game is as satisfying as flying around a Helios Phaeton or a Banshee Ultra.

This is the only game i play now lol for almost a year, i haven’t really played anything else. I had to work a lot this year so it didn’t leave a whole lot of time for me to play. Sometimes i wouldn’t get to play for about a week. Now im free and unfortunately i ran out of gold so im waiting to get that again (hopefully in a few days) but i agree with you man. In my opinion Halo 3 was the best, but this game is amazing and i love it

ehhhh maybe a little but barely a success.
I’m happy with the game, though I agree 343 should focus on maps, playlists, and overall matchmaking balance…rather than pushing out skins, armor, and reqs that many of us won’t use.
The game is good. It can be better. The heavy reticle needs a fix but Servers are a big problem. If they can get a smoother matchmaking this game is golden.
Positives:
-
The Forge is amazing. - Knights having armour in campaign was nice.
-
Some cool armors I wish to see returning, like Blue Teams & Team Osirises armours. - Some nice songs on Soundtrack - Well Hunt the Truth was awesome. - Seeing Sanghelios was cool. - New Covenant Vehicle designs were nice, liking the organic feel to them.Negatives:
-
Story was bad, obviously there had been some Corporate Influence by MS, if one wants to believe insiders. - HuntTheTruth, did not have anything to do with Halo 5’s story nor was it mentioned anywhere. - Microtransactions. - Sprint. - Spartan Abilities, besides thruster. - No iconic maps and map design was lackluster. - Promethean weapons felt like reskins of already available weapons. - Little focus on Arena maps, mostly focusing on REQ’s & Warzone. - Buggy Theater. - No playable Elites.

Promethean weapons do true damage. Covenent weps do shield damage. UNSC weps do balanced damage reduction.
Certain spartan abilities may not be for you, though, all are utilized in Diamond+ without a problem.
i like it
