I don’t know why so many people are complaining about some of the new multiplayer mechanics. I think that Halo 5 is a huge set in the competitive direction, such as:
Mainstreaming the competitive ranking system, I really really like this as there is a lot more tiers to break up the skill differential, so people can play with others at their level, rather than getting that one guy who’s never played Halo before and another who skill rank 50. I also like how the ranking is for each playlist as well because when I play high level swat and then swap over to team snipers for example I suck at sniping so I would be at a lot lower level than my SWAT level, this system really allows me to take advantage of that.
I also think that the out play potential is a lot higher in this than any other Halo because of the new dash mechanic, this is awesome FYI. The amount of times already I’ve been able to win a 1v1 fight then be able to dash quickly behind cover or in those 2v1 moments with a well placed grenade and the new dash been able to take them both out, gives me an superb feeling.
I know that there might be a few things which need to be ironed out but come on its first day of release. Some of the animations could be smoothed etc but this shouldn’t be affecting things that much to the point where its losing you the game, so people need to stop moaning.
Overall I think this has the potential to be the best Halo multiplayer yet. What do you think?
