This is something that is really making Halo 5 Hard to enjoy… Arena is frustrating, competitive and boring as hell, so I’m just avoiding it now. The Halo Vets got their way and I really can’t blend my taste with theirs. Warzone is a much nicer experience than arena for me. It’s more exciting and modern in comparison. But at the end of the day, I’m just not feeling up to battling it out against other players. I’m quite a casual gamer, so I usually get pummelled by people who never stop playing, I invest about an hour a day or so. Warzone is exciting and intense at the best of times, but really boring and frustrating at it’s worst. In older halos, I never really experienced that frustration because if I had a bad game, I could play a easy going Coop mode to get my spirits up, chill out or otherwise enjoy a casual session of gaming where I can actually talk to friends, before I get all annoyed. Campaigns usually take me a day or two to conquer, and after that I never really feel that up to replaying them over and over.
In short, firefight was a brilliant game mode for me. It was a nice way to level up, blast some enemies that don’t kill me for every kill I get. To have the satisfaction of actually get frequent kill steaks and feel like I’m making a difference for my team. Warzone just isn’t that. It’s fun and all, but it’s just more multiplayer. It doesn’t feel much more cooperative than arena. You win or loose about 50% of the time, give or take. Which is about 50% of the time I’m either fairly satisfied I didn’t lose, or I’m pissed that I just got smashed by the other team.
Not to mention, A.I don’t pull cheap dirty moves. They don’t camp, they don’t hide with shotguns/swords, they don’t creep everywhere and don’t hide with sniper rifles. (Yes, I get that most of that is legitimate strategy, but it’s annoying nothing the less, I don’t want it gone, I just want an alternative every now and then) I’d like a time where I can be top dog no matter what I do. Gaming to me is supposed to make you feel awesome and like you achieved something. All multiplayer does is remind me how painfully bad I can be a -Yoink-.
TL;DR: I’m a salty -Yoink- and would like a game mode that makes me feel less salty Anyone else?

Absolutely. I wouldn’t actually mind if Warzone made A.I the major threat, It currently only seems to be about fighting Spartans, but frankly, A.i need to make a bigger contribution to that mode. Just thinking of all the features in a modern firefight however. Wow, that would be awesome.

That would be impresive. Waves of Coveys and Forerunners

> how did halo vets get their way with arena? I cant stand arena and ive been playing since Halo CE. Arena is an absolute mess,
343 Scrapped all progress with the implementation of modern features because people whined that Halo was moving too far from it’s premise. People demanded that it was returned to it’s original format with a competitive ranking system, no variation in maps, everyone starts with the same stuff an no other options and the maps are of orthodox format. The only thing wrong with Halo 5 are those things that the Vets demanded back. It feels too competitive, too repetitive and the more creative format for maps is gone and back to the original arena designs.
Obviously not all Vets were on board with this. I played halo since the first day and have enjoyed every change. The game I was slowly getting tired of made great turns at Halo Reach and Halo 4. It was finally beginning to feel more replayable as more interesting features that extend playability were introduced and the games roots were finally getting more modern with brilliant new game modes, challenging ways to attain armour and the customization It’s been longing for as long as I can remember. But all the other vets seemed to opt that it was damaging the game, when for me, it was the only thing keeping the game alive. I’m tired of using the weapons the game tells me to use. I want a personal weapon which I can customize and grow with. I just can’t see how people aren’t bored with playing the same game over and over. People just whine when any core changes are made and it’s driving long term fans like me away because the franchise and all the players seem painfully uncreative and lack innovation,
Anyone else?
