Gameplay Thoughts Multiplayer

Halo Community,

I’m a veteran player throughout the years. Started playing online during Halo 3. Recently have like picked up Halo again and playing Halo 4 now, which was always fun to play. Waiting to see what infinite brings.

Thoughts from my perspective. I’ve dabbled in halo 5 online. What I notice is for Halo 3 and Halo 4, I can get on nice consistent runs of games with 20+ kills. It just comes naturally with all the instincts I’ve developed playing online.

Why can’t I do the same for Halo 5? I could play one Halo 5 game, maybe get 7-10 kills, jump into Halo 4 for the next game and score 20+.

Is anyone else having a similar experience? Maybe the movement feels so different in Halo 5. Could be the thrusting out of the way? Maybe even the radar feels different in proximity to other players from the past halo games in how I’m used to gauging it. I just can’t seem to get a feel for it and it’s frustrating knowing how well I can perform in other games. Not posting to complain (Just wouldn’t bother playing Halo 5 at that point), but to express something may have fundamentally changed in mechanics that maybe others are feeling a severe change in performance.

I would appreciate any thoughts and feedback from your perspectives!

You’re not alone. Other players could probably describe it better than I could, but I would say H5 is generally faster and there are definitely differences when it comes to sensitivity and deadzones on the sticks. When I don’t play H5 for a long time, I get back on and feel so sluggish. It’s not as difficult to get back into the swing of things on the legacy games.
