Halo 5 Community's voice

Hello Everyone and namely 343i

I am creating this thread as a means of highlighting things we would like to see change and improved before halo 5 is officially released.

My intention here is not to flame or rage but to have helpful constructive criticism that hopefully 343i will see and hear.

I personally believe 343i is doing a fantastic job in carrying on with the Halo franchise and would love to see them succeed in making Halo 5 a unique incredible multiplayer experience while remaining true to the roots of Halo (although that might be for selfish reasons :wink: )

My MAJOR problems with Halo 5 as it stands are as follows in order of importance IMO:

  1. TTK is WAY to low!!!
    Halo to me has always been about changing the tide of battle even when the odds are against you, I can recall plenty of incredible moments where I have turned 2v1, 3v1, and even 4v1 battles in my favour purely by using my abilites and environment to my advantage and playing smart. However now it feels like whoever shoots first is going to 80% of the time win the battle which is disappointing. The Higher TTK to me has always set Halo apart from most other multiplayer experiences out there as it drags encounters out and makes it a battle of skill instead of spot the enemy.

  2. Lunge needs to be increased.
    I feel like it is really tough to nail a good melee and maybe it is just me but melee’s feels a lot less effective, laying down suppressive fire while closing ground to finish an opponent with a well timed melee does not seem to work so well.

Those are my 2 major gripes with the game, I actually thoroughly enjoy the new Spartan abilities, sprinting, ground pound and thruster pack (being my personal favourite) is really pushing the Halo series forward, I just hope they retain Halo’s essence with all these new improvements.
