Let’s see the community is split in two. Some people are loving the halo 5 beta while others absolutely hate it and say THIS ISNT HALO ITS COD. Well why cant we have both. Heres how it works. Just like MCC there’s a playlist for Halo 2 and Halo 4 different games right? So why can’t halo 5 have the same. The first thing when selecting multiplayer on the main menu screen. You immediately see two options of styles HALO: GUARDIANS and HALO: CLASSIC. Halo Gaurdians- this game style plays just like the beta. Just needs a few tweaks. NO KILLCAM, more balanced weapons, redesign prophets bane (its too bright), nerf AR and SMG, bring back dual weild and elites, the options to turn off in game team speak. Then there’s HALO: CLASSIC. Just put the halo 2 engine with no sprint and no new abilities, just polish the graphics and sound, bring back old announcer, no flashy cinamatic intros and outros just say “slayer” in beginning and just GAME OVER at the end no bro scenes, make it so every playlist in halo gaurdians has the same playlists in Classic mode. Now I bet your saying 'just play MCC". Well many old school halo fans want a new halo game with just the halo 2 engine just remastered graphics and sound and new maps and playlists. They just want that same style old halo feel. But bottom line I think this classic playlist idea will bring back some halo community and also bring in new players with halo guardians. Its just my opinion I think 343 has nothing to lose. Hopefully they read this.
I agree 100% it’s just not the same anymore so why not give the people once again what first sparked halo in the first place
They cant just slap in a few setting and call it ‘classic.’ The maps are already warped out to compensate for sprinting as a main mechanic. And they’re not bringing back dual-wielding as it brought a whole new level of unbalance with it.
also, the current announcer is the same guy.
Not to mention, even with the slightest change, they’ll never be able to satisfy everyone. There were ‘classic’ playlists in Halo 4 and Reach but they didnt take off either. the best they can do is focus on the feedback this beta has given them and look back at the flaws of 4 and correct them.
