On April 2, 2016, Halo 5 Multiplayer is some of the best I’ve seen in a halo game. That being said, there are some flaws.
Pros:
-
High Competitive Feel
Halo 5 is by far the most competitive halo to date. With 10 game ranking system, the competition is insane -
Weopon Balancing
With the exception of Hydra and Plasma Caster. Halo 5 is very balanced. Whoever balanced these weopons did a fine job! -
Graphics
Fantastic Graphics. -
New Content
Halo 5 has content coming in like crazy, which is obviously good. Good Armours and Good Emblems are great… And new maps! -
Warzone
For some casual people, Warzone fills the casual gap. It offers vehicular gameplay and more arena based gameplay. Not to mention there are also new warzone maps coming in fast -
Forge
Although sometimes difficult to use, forge is the best it has ever been!
Cons:
- Custom Games
Minor, but there are several glitches.
-Lack of Gamemodes
Infection and many classic Gamemodes are still missing. Now i understand y’all want us to have a constant feed of content but if y’all gave us infection now, we would have more forge content for later down the road.
-
Poor File Browser
Very difficult to add Maps. Plz make a Reach styled File browser. If not now BE SURE TO
INCLUDE THIS IN HALO 6! -
Little Social Content
Has gotten much better over past two months, but y’all are still lacking a true 4v4 or 5v5 Arena social mode. Social slayer is a good start but it makes maps feel SUPER fast paced and it almost is just another Competitive gamemode. Hard to fix this problem now, but keep this in mind for the future. -
Theater
Only problem is no theater in Halo Campaign -
Story ( Campaign )
Nothing you can do now, but halo 5 campaign was very underwhelming! Poor Character development and poor mission design with little Open Vehicular Battles. Was good gameplay moments though. Just improve story telling!
-REQ system
Never thought this belongs in halo. We should be allowed to choose what we want. Even if we have to spend much more time to get it. One of the most important things to remove or change!
Overall Thoughts: Halo 5 has a GREAT multiplayer!!! But with the great multiplayer there are several issues. The game has mastered the competitive feeling, too much! There is little social content and little social Gamemodes. Infection and other classic gametypes need to be added. Warzone is good gamemode and is great foundation for a social gamemode! Arena needs a stable social mode.
At the moment halo 5 is one of my favorite halo games, but it’s lack of a good halo campaign and a lack of true custom game support needs to be addressed!
