I visit the forums almost every day, and all I see is hate towards 343 and Halo 5. In my opinion, 343 has done a better job with halo then bungie ever did. The Gausshog and Scorpion in Halo Reach were extremely OP. 343 did a way better job balancing them in the game with H4. Sure 343 has made mistakes, but so has bungie! What do you hope to accomplish by posting hate about 343 and H5??? All that’ll do is make things worse. How would you like it if you spent 3 years developing something and when it came time to show it to the world, everybody started saying so much hate about it. Their not only hating on it, but they are hating on YOU as well. Your moral would go down the toilet. The best thing that we can do as a community is give 343 some helpful criticism to improve the game, not outright hate. Just because you don’t like H5 doesn’t mean it is a bad game, that is just your opinion. There are some people that DO like H5, and that is my opinion. When I see H5, I see 3 years of hard work, and 343 really does need to be complimented on that. All the 343 haters AND the defenders need to come together and give 343 helpful suggestions on how to improve the game, not outright hate and don’t treat 343 like they are the Lord almighty. NOBODY IS PERFECT!! There are issues with H5, just like how there were issues with HCE, H2, H3, and so on. I for one like H5 for what it is. I don’t compare it to older halo games to see which one is better. And no, 343 did not lie to us with Hunt the Truth, it advertised what is going to come in H6, AND what H5 will lead to. The events of Hunt the Truth did not happen during the H5 era, they are previews of what is to come in H6 and what H5 will lead to. I look forward to the monthly updates that 343 releases for free. I am absolutely flabbergasted that the updates receive so much hate as well. The “useless REQs” that they add is just like adding new weapons, vehicles, weapon skins, and armor; things that the community would have LOVED to receive for FREE during the H4 era. Would you rather not receive anything at all??? Be patient! The February update is expected to have about 3 gametypes! We have waited over 3 years for this game, what is another month?
Stop hating on 343 and H5 so much, give them helpful criticism instead! If you don’t like H5, then simply DONT PLAY IT!!
Bungie never did anything worthwhile for Halo. They were simply a name on the box. If they had their way, Halo wouldve been a 3rd person Destiny from the very beginning. Microsoft and 343 are the real Halo champs.
I remember everyone hating on every Halo after it came out. Haters gonna hate. I respect 343i for doing what they’re doing, it’s an uphill battle with the forum community. Remember, the people on the forums are a small fraction of the people who play and love this game. Every forum is like this.
The Drip feed of content is a horrible way to increase longevity of this game as each time the population is going to Dip however if they have given people enough content at the launch many of us wouldn’t be complaining about soo much now including the lack of features etc etc 343 are blatantly aware of this.
If you think back to Halo 4 Era we waited 6 MONTHS for a working File share system and even then many of the good old custom games modes had been either removed from the game or just were created but with limited amount of customization. 343’s track record isn’t something I am willing to be patient for as they showed themselves again when they released MCC Collection we all know what happened with that. Now comes Halo 5 we’ve had to wait for forge to be added into the game, we’ve had to drip fed content at a staggering rate and even then its not even new content its just recycling maps and to top it off we get sprinkles of REQS that are just…words do not express the insult of what they are trying to do.
Liking 343 for me isn’t the issue. Liking their games is. They have a great personality and are dedicated to the job, it almost seems as though they care about the games. But the games always have a major flaw in them somewhere which makes it a little less fun.
Example: Halo 4s multiplayer ceased to be enjoyable after a few days. Was it power weapon spawning (I forget what it’s called)? Was sprint? Was it the new weapons?
Halo 5s campaign, the story in particular, was absolute crap. The story totally forgot all about the previous games and made up some random stuff. Killing off Jul at the beginning? An entire plot line that was in Halo 4 and the comics, gone.

I remember when Halo sold really well and people consider it worth playing. Those were the days.
I am glad I still have Halo but no I don’t like 343. Not so much for H5 I think it’s alright. It’s more so for notching MCC up beyond repair and they pretty much ignore it. Yeah they changed the playlist up but they clearly aren’t going to fix it.

I remember when CoD wasn’t top dog too, every good thing must come to an end at some point.

Big difference between telling them what’s wrong with the game, and how to improve it for EVERYONE, and hating. All you people who claim you are positive and love 343 are utter fools.
I have created 2 positive threads in the last week, praising 343. One for the Achilles armour, and thanking them for making it hard to get, and one on utilising the games potential, and asking for ideas from the community ( for example, infection with legendary weapons).
And guess what mate? None of you 343 lovers commented or gave any ideas. Not even ONE of you. Instead, the " haters" chimed in, gave some great ideas and feedback on my ideas and others. Those threads are dead already, because none of you 343 lovers commented. You were to busy plastering the word “hater” all of over the forums instead of contributing to the improvement of this game. 343 is capable, and can do great things, but they can’t when people like you plaster “hater” all over the forums and threads that give criticism on the game, and ignore positive posts with ideas. Contribute some ideas at least. So far the “haters” have done more for the game than you have. They got rid of ordnance, kill cams, bloom (halo reach), custom loadouts. What have you 343 lovers given in terms of feedback? Oh that’s right…“the game is fine as is, and all that disagree are haters”-- I see this in every thread, don’t even try to argue with me. Everything they changed from halo 4 to 5, you fools defended back in halo 4 much the same way. Everyone who opposed loadouts and ordnance was called a hater, but when 343 changes that, you praise them and say they are awesome for listening to fan feedback, when you did not contribute to this, and did quite the opposite.
I both like and hate 343. I hate them for the lack of content and the campaign but I like halo 5 in the way that the game feels. It achieves a old but new feel, so that’s what I like about 343.
I’m on board with the love/hate group here. I hate the lack of content and the campaign, but I love Halo 5 for how it feels and plays (multiplayer of course).
Sure there are things that should be changed, but you can say that about any game. Balancing is difficult to do and it’s impossible to please everyone, but I think they’re doing an okay job with it.

> Stop being such asinine hypocrites.
My post wasn’t directed towards the haters, it was directed towards everybody. FYI I have not called a single person a hater on these forums. I also have been contributing to it. I have made 5 polls now about what 343 should add in a future update.
