So I’ve played both the Halo 5 and Black Ops 3 betas I can say without a shred of a doubt bo3 is pretty bad. First of all, you die in a millisecond and don’t have a single chance to respond, as compared to Halo 5. Really, its whoever sees first wins. Halo 5 actually gives you a chance to fight back and even more of a chance if you use the spartan abilities. Black Ops 3s loadouts and killstreaks don’t make the combat fair at all, even more unfair when you add the specialists. I guess it’s literally EVERY OTHER COD!!! While Halo truly innovates with each installment, cod tweaks a little thing and calls it innovative. Finally, the pacing. Bo3s pacing is trying to be fast, but fails miserably, or is it trying to be slow? You can wall run and double jump, but your normal walkspeed and sprint feel so slow, and it takes two hits now to kill someone, but why when you die so fast anyway. This is probably the fastest ttk in a cod yet. Halo 5s pacing feels pretty consistent. So, I lost all hope for cod, and still have high hopes for Halo,. Really nothing has changed
You can play both, you can have opinions on both, you just can’t play the “compare/contrast” game with both of them here. It always devolves into bickering and flaming very quickly.
