/Actual/ reason why Halo 5 "sucks"

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

The gameplay is actually just fine, for me. No issues there. I dont think its like CoD, dont have some big issue with the no shield charge while running, dont mind REQ packs too much, either.

My real quarrel is with the damn UI. These crypic menus and just poor design are so aggrivating. Am I the only one who feels this way?

First- What is with not being able to talk in the pre-game fireteam menu? Is that a bug, or just me??? I absolutely HATE that I have to be in, or searching for, a game to be able to talk. And with a handful of my friends having restricted NAT types, making a party isnt an option, and it shouldnt be a requirement, IMO.

Second- What the hell is the point of only displaying someone’s emblem without their name with it? Who cares what the emblem is if you have NO IDEA who it is attached to? Extremely poor design in that regard, as, because you, Mr. Halo 5, only chose to display emblems and not names, you have absolutely NO WAY to know who is staying, who has left, who you are about to play against, or who you just played against. Yes, fine, you can press start and view your last game, but WHY? Change is good, yes. If you didnt want to make the menu as perfect as Halo 3, fine. But you didnt have to make it into crap. And how could you make the emblem the main point of recognition, but not have it displayed in the game, like it used to be in… Halo 3, I believe? >.>

Third- Minor thing, But… WHY is there no indicator for your fireteam? I lose my team in a giant map and cant find them, because for whatever reason, there is no long-range indicator or emblem for me to see anywhere. And more than once have I been in a conversation that goes something like
“Where are you?”
Im at the core/
“Where? In the front?”
No, the back.
“Oh. Well Im in the back…”
Go left.
“Okay… Where?”
No, wait. Not left…

Why? Just… How is that overlooked? I

Last, I guess- Not really a big deal, but it seems a little silly that getting 5/5 with a weapon gives you an emblem. How does that not give you a unique weapon skin? Because you want me to buy more cards to get it all? Well go suck something. You wont get none of that microtransaction money from me.

Small things. Gmaeplay is okay. Competative and all. But, QoL changes are needed, real bad.

wait wait wait.

halo 5 has a KNOWN broken aim system, with massive deadzones and clunky controls…and you say gameplay is fine??? it has a KNOWN issue with respawns and you still say gameplay if fine???

to say halo 5 gameplay is fine is to bury your head in teh sand my freind. the gameplay has some pretty massive problems, that have been proven by actual testing.

that said, yes the ui is craptastic and being unable to talk in the pregame loading is horrible, but to say thats the real reason why it sucks is burying the lead.

also, did you mean to say more cause you don’t usaully end a statement with “I”

3

The only thing I have a problem with is the radar range, which is too short, and the sometimes ridiculous spawning. If those 2 things are fixed, Halo 5 will be perfect for me.

I like it, but the user that will post will cry.

Agreed, just leave. Stop complaining I see you do it in every thread. The gameplay is fine. People complain about the things their not good at. With no aim assist its throwing everyone off and im taking complete advantage of it

Adapt or die, I say. Im not having too much issue with it, as Ive learned to be much, much more aware of it.

I wouldn’t say H5 has massive problems. MCC had massive problems. As far as aiming, the game hasn’t been out a week. Why does everyone think they should be a pro already?

9

Oh, you know else I forgot to mention, was the ranking system. I dont know how that works…

I went 6/4 in team slayer (due to people dropping…) and got put into silver.

I went 3 and 7 in team objective and got put into platnum? Help?

actually halo 5 has MASSIVE ai assist.

in the form of rather heavy BULLET magnetism, but thats not the aim problem i’m talking about i’m talking about the massive software deadzones for the controllers, and the painfully slow look sensitivity. it’s been test, both here and on the halo reddit, and it’s been proven that halo 5 has some aiming issues, not just the aim assist.

but YOU who hold 343 on a altar and refuse to see actual problems are those who will doom a franchise if they listen to you.

are you also one of the ones who said halo 4 was perfect the way it was? (which is why it last 95% of it’s playerbase in under a month, and most of it’s gameplay changes were REVERSED for halo 5)

those who refuse to criticize, refuse to look for flaws, and more important refuse to ADMIT the flaws are those who input are the least relevant.

It’s “fine” if you have low standards or just don’t own the game and just want to post.

Loving the reduced assist. Kills actually matter now and feel much more satisfying.

That’s funny coming from the person who has ZERO Halo gamer-score on his account. Goes to show the lengths a troll will go to damper other people’s fun.
