What are the best features and additions of this halo and the worst?
Smart link, spartan charge, and clamber are the best features, there’s not really anything about 5 I dislike besides maybe the armor body being 1 piece from the neck down.
Good: Spartan Companies
Bad: Req packs
Lack of original unique maps
Lack of progression system for unlocks
No emblem customization
Lack of spartan customization
Where art thou split screen??
Good:
Spartan Companies
SOME if the new armors are good like Mark 4
New Assault Rifle design
Bad:
Trading a progression system for some greedy -Yoink- lootboxes and proceeded to make a video explaining them and -Yoink!- on the people with legitimate questions.
EVERY new weapon design aside from the AR
Groundpound and Spartan charge are some of the must butt -Yoinking!- overpowered abilities I’ve ever seen and most of the time you can’t react to them.
Sprint simply doesn’t belong in Halo. If that was what it was meant to be it would’ve been in Halo CE.
The new soundtrack is no where near what Halo should sound like.
And yeah, that’s not even scratching the surface…,
Worst would be the Magnum being able to stand up to rifles :^) But that’s just me lol
Req packs
Spartan Charge
Very small Radar
I’d even argue map design is pretty poor compared to past Halos

Agreed, the customization is very important for Halo since Halo 3. I have to add the Spartan charge to the list of bad things haha
Best: Forge, Spartan Companies, weapon skins, TrueSkill2 (could use some improvements) and how they’re now handling HCS.
Worst: Everything tied into REQ packs, Warzone which was literally made for microtransactions, no split screen, limited offline play, having to fight Warden so many times, most Spartan Abilities (sorry, had to), postgame freezing bug which will never get fixed, bloated and redundant weapon sandbox and relying too much on Forge maps. I could add more, but I’ll leave it at that and I’d remove Warzone if it was handled differently.
Good:
-
Spartan abilities that don’t include SC and GP. - The campaign as a speed game - Most of the multiplayer - Skipping 5 wardens and insta-killing 4. - Being able to win MP matches with just my fistsBad
-
The community (admit it, it’s pretty bad) - SC and GP - Req packs being entirely tied to RNG. - Fighting 9 wardens in the campaign alone - People sweating their -Yoinks!- off in social. - Customisation is pretty lacking - All emblems are pre-set

What do you mean “campaign as a speed game” ? How you can time how fast you do it?

The Halo 5 speedrun is pretty quick. Most people use the in-game time in score attack to skip cutscenes.
Basically, speed game is another way of saying a speedrun

I agree with most of what you stated but I disagreed with the multiplayer.
I have a love-hate feeling with the multiplayer of Halo 5. It’s VERY fun, but I can play Call of Duty, Destiny, or Overwatch and feel just as good. Halo was supposed to be different and while it is fun, it just isn’t what Halo is about and kinda makes it a generic FPS game that just blends with the aforementioned games.
What do you mean by the “Campaign is a speed game”?

Yeah, I personally don’t find H5 too generic but it is easier to pick up than other Halo games for sure.
For that last one,

Ah gotcha. H5 is the only one I haven’t tried to speed run, those are always a blast.

Halo 5’s theme is essentially, Halo 5 is a Bethesda game. As in, walls are a suggestion

I find Halo 5 one of the hardest Halos to pick up & go due to the addition of all the abilities & how fast paced the game is, well it was for me anyways. Especially after taking an extended time off, its like playing it for the first time. But thats just being rusty.

I think being rusty and picking up the game for the first time are different feelings. A few of my friends used to only play CoD but I got them onto H5 with no past Halo experience and they took about 10-20 minutes for them to get used to on pickup.
Now, being rusty is pretty different because you are trying to remember some of the depth in the game so it feels pretty sluggish after a bit.

Yeah I mentioned they were both different. Figured I would just toss it in there.
Maybe its just me then. I played H3 forever, Got my 50. Came into H5 a few years after release & I felt way out of the loop. Almost like it was my first time ever playing Halo, felt real noonish. I guess it was quite the learning curve for me anyways from Halo 3 to H5.

They are both pretty different games for sure. Both are good games in my opinion. Just one’s not a good Halo game in the eyes of the community. But I don’t want Halo to be an iterative series like that of CoD. Halo 5 was a nice change of pace for me. I guess I can adapt much quicker than most (some of my friends told me that I do :)) )
