Before I go on. Don’t take the title the wrong way because I disagree with that statement, I personally think halo 5 has the worst multiplayer in the series (Yes, worse than halo 4).
But so many people say that halo 5 has the best multiplayer of any halo game, even going as far as to say it’s better than halo 3! I am beyond confused, and I want an explanation from someone that thinks this. I want to be put into the point of view of someone that loves halo 5. So why do you think halo 5 has the best multiplayer in the franchise??? And see if you can convince me.
I think the actual mechanics are awesome; thrusting, pounds, stabilizers etc. It added a whole new dimension to previous multiplayer action so i enjoy that.
Matchmaking gametypes imo are lacking so obviously i don’t think it is perfect but overall I still enjoy the experience. Although customs browser alleviates that a bit. And I will always say I love Halo 2 the most, with all its flaws still remember staying up all night playing that w/ my best friends growing up.
Go back and play H3 in MCC…it has aged the absolute worse!. H5 has some solid game play, besides Spartan charge (you shouldn’t be able to charge while being shot IMO). My favorite Halo right now is still H2A, man what could have been had they gave it its proper respect and made it a stand alone game.
So ordinance, flinch, loadouts in Arena, and seeing through walls was more balanced than H5. Okay sure that’s your opinion. I’m not saying h5 was the best multiplayer but it is leagues better than halo 4.
The only thing h4 had going for it was; BTB, Action Sack, and Dominion (which they took out 6 months post launch)

I never said halo 4 was more balanced. I said that I personally prefered halo 4. It is a fact that halo 5 is more balanced but that doesn’t mean it’s better. And you’re right, Dominion is great, and it’s also better than warzone. Btb and action sack however are still in the game so you might want to fact check next time.

Dominion was awesome. It rarely wins the vote in btb in MCC but it plays awesome. Better than any H3 gametype in MCC.

It’s ok to thin H5 is the worse. Every Halo game plays really differently so of course there are going to be players who prefer one over the other.
Halo 5 is a great game and like all other games it has its flaws. I love the new mechanics that add more depth to game play decisions. You can truly move like a Spartan now. Which creates more strategic ins and outs went it comes to confrontations. Versatility works in the favor of a player that really know how and where he can move, line of sights, map control areas, and spawns. I love the speed of the game play as well. the faster speeds requires that you team plan ahead and any mistake can be fatal because of the speed people can move around.
That being said, most Halo players are probably veterans and adults. So you aren’t at the most impressionable age. For example playing Halo 3 to Reach when you were 12-16 years is a lot more likely to leave a good impression on your because your friends were probably able to pull all-nighters to play with you and you had less to worry about. No matter the flaws you’ll remember the good times and have fun anyways. Whereas as you get older star to become more analytical of your games and you also don’t get those fun moments anymore because everyone is busy.
Halo 5 is great but it won’t live up to what Halo to Reach gave me. Not because it isn’t a good game but because i haven’t been able to make the memories as much with my friends. We are all busy with work, school, etc. When we do get on though, Halo 5 is a blast!
If i was 16 again and had no worries, i’d say Halo 5 would be the at the top!
I don’t think Halo 5 is the best, but it is one of the best. The mechanics are so finely tuned and feel great once one gets used to them. For perhaps the second or third time in the series, we actually have a balanced game, where every weapon has its place in the sandbox (though less so since the update). Personally, the only gripe I have with it is that they reduced the sprint speed and buttery-smooth movement of 4.
In a nutshell… Like every Halo, Halo 5 has tried to ensure that if you die, it is through your own mistakes or an opponent’s superior skill. I really enjoy games that ensure that type of experience.
And, hey. Play what you enjoy. Everyone’s preferences should be their own.

I’m 16 and I love Reach and 3 but I despise halo 5, therefore your point here is invalid.

I did’t say you were young or it applied to everyone but you will notice the Halo population is comprised of older people compared to say Call of Duty. So no it isn’t invalid because of one kid. That being said, we see posts like yours every single day. We get it. if you don’t like then don’t play.
H3 to me isn’t perfect either, but still miles ahead to modern Halo and it’s still way more enjoyable imho LethalQ. A few UNSC weapons look weird, fov at 60 degree is mind-blowingly low since 1997 and it’s not better ten years later, many equipments are useless and crouch jump wasn’t as functional like it was in prior entries. That said I still like it a lot more than what H4 or H5 brought tonthe table, especially when we’re talking about core mechanics, overall art-direction, gun-play and sound-effects.
Talking about H4 v. H5 I can see were the OP is coming from. H5G is more bearable because there are no game breaking abilities mixed with personalised loadouts, as well as the lack of CoD-like level design, however at its core H4 had better core mechanics. I dare even saying that it was good. Strafe was perfect. H2 level of well implemented even I might say!
That doesn’t change the fact that it had the worst use of sprint, transformed sprint into a core element of the gameplay (in Reach it was at least a secondary element, an AA power-up), weapons were terribly unbalanced in both mp and sp, it had the worst enemy AI of the series, Promethean TP, spartan character models had weird proportions, art wise (especially the architecture, but also alien species and tech) was more suited for a Crysis game than Halo, hit-scan was badly implemented, QTEs, sound effects were nice however that music… I could go on! 7500 ain’t enough for my pure hate -Yoink!- I developed for H4 over the years! 
However yes, it had better core mechanics than H5G imho, at least when we’re talking about movements and nothing else gameplay wise.

Every single friend of mine hates halo 5 as well, that’s a little more than 1 kid. I’m not going to continue this argument any further.

These are the reasons I dislike Halo 5. I miss the unique classic gameplay.

Like I said most of us are adults, key word “Most” in my post. We’ve been around since Halo Combat evolved was on the PC. I can also tell you want to argue due to your post. If you ask, Why people like Halo 5", of course you will get a bunch of guys who like it to comment. If you asked, “Why people hate Halo 5” you’ll get the opposite crowd. Same post everyday, different title. Can’t wait for the next guy to post tomorrow!
I don’t get why some complain they “miss the classic play”. Like there isn’t a way to play classic Halo on Xbox one.

Yeah you’re right, I did make this post just to look for people to arguments. I just personally find you kind of a… well I can’t say it or else I’ll get banned.
i like Halo5’s game play, i like the faster game play, no game is perfect. i stand by my opinions and i will not be moved from them, though i may not go as far to say that it is as good as Halo3’s. halo4’s game play was by far the worst in my opinion,
please don’t waist my- or better yet your time trying to convince me otherwise. but all of this is my opinion of course and i am entitled to it, if you feel you have a good argument by all means lets have a debate, but unless you don’t have any other opinions like “it isn’t classic” or “i don’t like it” or “it isn’t like the old games” don’t waist my time.
none of this is to be taken as a personal slight, it is just my opinion, everyone has it.

“Classic game play” The most useless and baseless argument. Listen, the game has to evolve. They are going to try new mechanics and some work well and some may not but they can’t get it perfect every game. Yes “Classic” gameplay is great but that is because there was little depth to it. You walk and jump, simple as that. Not much to mess up on. Add armor mods, sprint, spartan charge, thrusting, etc. It becomes a challenge to balance.
I can also guarantee you that, if they stayed classic you would whine about how its the same game over and over. If they changed like they are now well, people will whine about how they aren’t classic anymore. There is no winning for game developers when it comes to the gaming community.
