Graphics and feel of the game - The graphics are amazing. The game runs smooth. There isn’t much to say about this because its just beautiful and feels amazing.
Spartan Abilities
Thruster Pack - I love the concept of Thruster Pack. It gives another competitive edge to the game and really isn’t broken in any way. One issue i do have is Thruster Pack combined with Sprint. There needs to be a cooldown on when you can use Thruster Pack and Sprint. If you use Thruster Pack, there needs to be a cooldown on when you can Sprint and vice versa. This makes it so there aren’t as many escapes from a situation you put yourself into.
Ground Pound - I think it’s useless and has no reason to be in the game than another escape. It’s just there.
Sprint - I just don’t like Sprint. I think Sprint just doesn’t need to be in the game of Halo. I understand that game’s these days need another element of speed. CoD has Sprint, CS has knife running, and League of Legends has boots. I just think that Sprint just adds more problems than advantages to the game. 343 has to think of ways to balance Sprint and also create maps with Sprint in mind. I think it’s just a hassle and needs to be removed. One thing that can be done is to up the base movement speed of the player to help sprint being gone and maps not looking huge.
Slide - It’s another one those things that’s in the game and really doesn’t have a meaning. I don’t see anyone using it at all. It’s just there and removing it wouldn’t hurt a thing.
Clamber - Clamber has a natural feel to it. It doesn’t break the game in any way. I don’t see any negatives to it at all.
Smart Scope - I also love Smart Scope. I love the aesthetic of the new scoping. There are some things that need to be worked on though. Some weapons take a little to long to scope in with. The Sniper is especially one of them.
Spartan Charge - I don’t see myself using it at all. Once again, it’s just there. Removing it would not harm anything.
Weapons - The weapons in Halo 5 are not that bad except for a few issues. The AR is broken. The AR’s range is pretty far and excels against the SMG in every instance. I think that you need to balance these two weapons to compete with each other. I don’t like the new design of the Rocket Launcher. I think it looks way to generic and not Halo like at all. DMR and Battle Rifle compete pretty well. The DMR does seem to have a little bullet magnetism and long range, but not as bad as it was in Halo 4.
I believe this has the chance to be one of the best Halo games to date. 343 just needs to get this game perfect. These are just my thoughts of gameplay and other things. What do you guys think about the game?
I honestly hate Spartan Charge. It completely destroys all assassination opportunities, and it is a -Yoink- to use. Also, it can get you killed ridiculously easily. You charge him, he gets pushed back, you are recovering, he shoots at you, he’s out out of melee range, and BAM you’re dead. It’s just a plain detriment.
halo is copying cod way too much, its indistinguishable from it. the fps market is extremely oversaturated with generic dude bro twitch shooter cod clones. halo is suppose to be a arena/tactical shooter which is a rarity in the fps genre of gaming. that is what kept it fresh and unique and very popular compared to other fps games. also not having a yearly release schedule helps which 343 wants to implement. why is competing with cod and copying bad? well for example in my hometown there was like literally 7 pizza places near my old house within 50-100 feet of each other. THAT IS MARKET OVERSATURATION. literally only one of them was truly successful while the rest died off and replaced by other pizza places then they died off and the cycle repeats. now there is another resturant in between those pizza places that does something different, they make shwarma as well as pizza, burgers and wings, they specialize on the swarma though. they are highly successful. why because they are different. their market as a resurant isnt a direct copy of that one successful pizza place. also even that pizza place is losing business because people are sick of pizza. ala cod being a yearly franchise and people geting tired of it

First off, punctuation please. Second, I don’t see the similarity between CoD and Halo. If anything, CoD is copying Halo. I admit, TTK is a little too fast for my liking, but that does in no way make it a twitch shooter. The game requires strategy, and there are many opportunities to turn the tables on your opponent.
I have to disagree with you with Ground pound. I found it very useful
Still feel like it’s a sub-par Halo game. It can be ok to play if working with a fairly ok team but the game really isn’t that enjoyable to play, so far it’s comes off as one of the worst Halo games I have ever played.
