Favyn is right (Read this if you care about halo)

If you don’t know who Favyn is he’s a YouTuber who talks about Halo with more passion than anyone else. I can back him up on literally 100% of what he says. Not everything he says is positive but he speaks the TRUTH. If you’re like me you probably like Halo 5 but feel something isn’t right with is it. Cant figure out what in Halo 5 isn’t scratching that itch? Well Favyn knows exactly what it is. If you’re still reading please read a little but longer (if you love Halo). If you have that itch I was talking about even at the slightest bit it means you’re in a cloud. You’ve been so used to accepting changes made by developers and choices from 343i and probably other game developers too that you’ve been put in this cloud of “maybe the next one will be better, I’ll just deal with what I’ve got for now” I have some sad news for you it’s not going to get better unless we unite and let Favyn’s words be our voice. We must support him…Whats that you say? You think you’re NOT in a cloud and you see everything the way it is?? Wrong, you’re wrong. Before you either stop reading or comment hate, just put down your weapons and listen to me. You’re too blinded by the cloud to see that our beloved Halo is on the brink if being just another game franchise. Please, if you feel even the slightest bit deep down that there’s part of you that wants just wants Halo to be Halo again, please watch just one of these.

Watch the first link if any…It’ll help you start to get out of the cloud. Before you see the length of the video and don’t watch it just remember hes talking about something you love and can relate to.

These are just some of the ones that helped me get out of the cloud. I know they are lengthy but hey, the length shows how much he cares. The rest of his videos are spot on and well laid out. Please share and support this channel because we are the only ones who can help Halo return to its original glory.
Thank you for reading.

I’ll have to go watch his vids before I give some real feedback.

so if we disagree we’re mindless flood types? you do realize there’s (at the very least) two sides to every opinion, right? there’s the pros and cons but it’s up to you whether it’s worth it or not

I feel the biggest issue has been the campaign more than anything else. They needed an epic story to go with the great gameplay, but instead we only got the great gameplay and a lackluster story.

Req system grew on my, though if they still had some set unlocks included for ranks, campaign, achievements, etc it would have been better.

The lack of content at launch is the one thing that held back the what I would say is near perfect gameplay. There isn’t a real explanation behind it either.

I wouldn’t put it like that. If we disagree and say that nothing is wrong with Halo 5 and that it’s the greatest without flaws, then maybe.

Halo 5 was 50% complete at launch.
Now it’s nearing the 80% (missing proper BTB maps, a File Browser and a few game modes).

Other than that, the gameplay is fun, the graphics are decent, Forge is the best ever by a large margin, the campaign is open and replayable as opposed to a scripted canyon crawler (lame-Yoink!- story aside). And we’re getting Firefight.

Halo 5 didn’t launch a good game, but by June I think it’ll be a great one.

Okay I wasn’t trying to say that I was just trying to have you set aside things you think about Halo 5 and look at the big picture. I should’ve rephrased differently. My apologies…

*two

I can’t stand Favyn or his videos. A Bungie fan looking to the past through rose colored glasses. That’s all.

“Scripted canyon crawler”

And I just lost all faith in this fanbase

I was never ‘blinded’ I always saw the truth.

Is favyn some mystical being I should pay money to and drink his koolaid so that my mind can be set free?

Its not what it seems. You just end up dead while he makes off with all your worldly possessions until he scams the next group of gullables.

Nah you’re still just trapped in the cloud.

I was talking about Halo 4, which didn’t exactly capture the sandbox feel of previous Halos. Halo 5 did good with this. Environments were big and open, offering many different ways to get through. There were many weapoms and vehicles laying around. Collectibles were back… easter eggs.

I love Halo 4’s campaign, but on that frontbonly a couple of missions were satisfying

haha, well played sir

I’ve played every Halo when they came out, played multiplayer in every one that had it. (no lan parties in ce for me) In my opinion, Halo 5 is the only one that had core multiplayer perfect right off the bat, every other game came out unbalanced and flawed, and it took forever to get it right. Did you ever consider that 343 might be trying to go at this from a different direction than Bungie did? Core gameplay is what makes the game playable, then add in all the extras. Seems fairly intelligent to me.

The -Yoink- outta here with logic. You’re clearly still trapped deep in the cloud. Just donate 50$ to favyn and he will free your mind.

I love the halo universe and I admit favyn has some good points but a game is just a game and shouldn’t become something you live and breathe.

Flattered by the post.

But just make sure when discussing things like this you treat people with respect.(not saying you haven’t )

If someone disagrees with some of the stuff I talk about its ok. In fact it’s encouraged because it promotes discussion and discussions allow us to learn more about how the other came to their conclusions.

But thank you for the kind words, and I appreciate you trying to spread my content!
