Disappointed

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

After the announcement of Ghosts of Meridian I was absolutely thrilled. The reason?

“Ghosts of Meridian will bring with it not only new maps, vehicles, weapons, weapon skins, armors, helmets, emblems, and more, but also game updates such as Forge improvements, multiplayer adjustments for both Warzone and Arena, sandbox and weapon updates (such as Spartan Laser tuning), UI updates, and more. Teams across the studio are wrapping up the release, and we’ll keep you updated as work completes and we get ready to send this sucker out the door”

UI Updates
I don’t like the current UI. I know that there are plenty others that agree. I also know that there are plenty of people that think it’s fine the way it is. Compared to the Beta it’s a big step down. I have never been one to applaud Halo:Reach for anything, because quite honestly that game pushed me away from Halo BUT I will say that the UI in Reach was fantastic. It seems the only change to the UI that I’ve seen has been in Warzone Menus which was very needed. I just believe there is so much more that they could do. 343i is showing so much potential and it’s great.

I’m very happy with the way 343i seems to be listening. They paid attention to “farming”, firefight, infection and more. They’ve impressed me more than I thought they would and I think they are taking Halo in a much needed Redirection. “Going back to the core roots” was a great way to get back on track. With that being said my biggest issue at this point is the lack of medal viewing. I don’t understand how they managed to leave one of the core elements that has been in every game since Halo 2. How do you justify leaving out a detailed carnage report? Medal Viewing has been one of the best features introduced to the Halo franchise. I checked it after every game. I don’t know if there is anyone that played that intentionally ignored it. Maybe I’m oblivious and there is a reasonable explanation but until I hear of one that clearly states the positive purpose for eliminating it all together I’m going to be a bit bothered.

I would love to see at some point a Post Game Carnage Report make a return in Halo 5. I wouldn’t mind seeing a pregame roster as well but I can only hope. Thanks for reading, sorry if it sounds like a rant. 343 really is doing an outstanding job at making this game great again.

Feel free to add your input. Thanks!

Update does not mean overhail, they fixed the problems that existed within the req menu as well as adding spartan company members in the active roster.

There is definitely some stuff missing but expecting a huge difference is not something that should come from the term update ya know

You make a great point and I understand my hopefulness for an overhaul is a bit too much. Expectation/Reality will always have its differences. Like I said earlier, I’m happy with the direction they’re going. I just think they have the potential to make things better.
