If it was up to half of the people in these forums, Halo 5 would be a re-reskin of Halo 2. This franchise needed to evolve. The mechanics that worked so well in the earlier titles wont meet many of today’s expectations (see any SNES game besides Chrono Trigger). Growth is extremely important in a game’s longevity. When I used to try to get my friends to get into Halo they would always complain about the lack of sprinting & scoping in. This wasn’t a problem back in the day because most successful shooters followed the same formula. Like it or love it, most people expect a shooter released in 2015 to have a sprint mechanic and a way to aim down sights. The spartan slam does seem gimmicky, but honestly, how often have you been spartan slammed? It hasn’t happened to me once. If you don’t like the game, why are you on the forums 24/7 whining about it? Lets say you had a Dr. Pepper sample handed out to you at the grocery store (Halo 5 Beta). If you don’t like the way it tastes then you probably shouldn’t go and buy a 2 liter (Halo 5 Final Release). If you don’t like the game then please leave. You’re ruining it for people who do.
