I went in to the beta very open minded but I am having a very hard time enjoying the game it doesn’t feel right at all it’s a mess and I can’t quite pinpoint it to one thing I think a lot of things add up and make a game that just doesn’t work.
its especially bad after having playing H2A for the past few months when a remake of a 2004 halo blows the beta of the newest out of the water by a lot something is wrong
How long did you play? H5 Beta felt very different to me at first, and I didn’t know if I liked it, but I love it now. Keep playing. Give it a chance.
I think H5 feels the more different than any other Halo game did when it was released.

Been playing pretty regularly for 3 days and still giving it chances. I’m glad some people are enjoying the game but me personally I don’t know if I’ll grow to like it. It feels so off from halo too me. Certain aspects feel like halo but so much feels like clutter and like skill is less important
I’m really enjoying myself on it. You haven’t even given any examples because for some reason you can’t “pinpoint it” and it’s a “mess”. What makes it a mess then? How can something be a mess, and you not even know why. This thread was a waste of time to create.
Don’t state an opinion and present it as fact.

Sorry I wasn’t trying to state it as fact I was just trying to discuss with other halo players how I felt I’m glad you enjoy it. I guess an example is the aiming on the BR And DMR don’t feel right not sure why. Also I lose fights and I’m like “what!” In H2A when I lose a fight it’s like “ah he out played me I deserved that death”
I feel like Halo 4 was better in terms of the core gameplay mechanics such as movement, shooting, grenades etc. but that it was ruined by things like loud outs, AAs, ordinance etc. Halo 5 did away with all that crap but the core mechanics feel messed up

For me the thing that doesn’t feel right is the flinching aspect when getting shot. you can have someone lined up with the BR and as soon as they get a few hits in with an AR, puts you at a disadvantage (and may be contributing to some of those losses you are talking about).
thankfully 343 is on the record (sorry, don’t have a link) saying this will be corrected.
I’ve been sitting here playing Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo 5. All of them. Which … first of all, the fact that you can even do that is amazing (please fix the MCC so this can be as amazing as it should be), and second: Halo 5 feels right.

Ya it very well could be flinch also does the BR/DMR have recoil? One thing I can say is the sniper feels really good except that it’s too slow to zoom in and between shots
I have been trying to remain positive, I go in every time I play hiring that it will be a blast, but it just isn’t. And to those people who say I’m just bad, I won all the if my games and was top two every time. It just isn’t fun.
I think that mostly it is a mixture of faster kill times and disgustingly open maps, and over powered automatic weapons. Every death feels cheap, and like you couldn’t do anything to stop it.
Halo 5 feels amazing to me…
I am having a great time with this game, but there were times in every halo game where i die and i think 'WHAT?!". It just happens and you gotta get over it and go get the next kill.
Might get some hate for this, but it feels like I’m playing a Battlefield/Titanfall/ Call of Duty game, just with a Halo appearance make over.
It might be that I suck at FPS as a whole… But I enjoy playing Halo 3 even when I do fail… With this, I fail, AND I feel wrongly towards it. I was on the side of everyone saying “Things change, you have to get used to it”… But this feels a bit too much for me.
It could just be because the weapons are unbalanced and all that, seeing as though it’s obviously, only a beta… But I just hope they sort it out and that it does get said that it feels too… To me, just fast, ya get killed too quickly (all that TTK ratio -Yoink-)
I can understand why many like it though, and I’m happy for all those who do!

I’ve played like 16 hours of it. I got into the preview thats why but the more I play the less I like it. There’s a lot of balance problems I think. I’m just not a fan of a lot of the things 343 has implemented.

I know exactly what you mean by the game feeling like (insert generic modern console FPS here). The first thing I did when playing the beta was changing the control scheme to bumper jumper. While playing it, I was aware of the ADS mechanic for every weapon beforehand and would literally press LT to aim instead of right stick especially with the AR, pistol, and smg. There’s something completely off about this game, with sprint, thrusters, ADS, and TTK being the big ones for me. If this game gets released similarly to what the beta is, I think it will suffer the same fate as Halo 4. People will play this game and think, “Oh look there’s a new CoD/Titanfalll/Destiny since it’s pretty much the same as Halo 5 I might as well go try out a different skin of the same game”. People call these “new” abilities, all 7 of which that can be found in CoD AW plus unlimited sprint, as an evolution in Halo. In reality, it’s conformity and a lack of backbone from 343 to stay true to Halo’s core mechanics that made it so great to begin with.
i am not sure how anyone who follows halo does not like this game. SSome of the most hard core players, semi’s, pros and others love this game. Every one Is entitled to their own opinion but I just don’t get what you don’t like about this game aside from a few different changes that have to be made
I don’t understand how people can say the weapons are unbalanced. The weapons are balanced in the sense that they all have slightly different ranges. If you have a BR or a DMR don’t get close up with a guy with a SMG. Keep your distance. Its not that difficult of a concept to understand. In past halo games, they made the DMR and BR too powerful because you could use them at any range and that took any meaning out of using other weapons. They made the game more tactical and more diverse by giving weapons key advantages in different combat scenarios.
aka: smg close range. dmr long range. etc…

I know exactly what your talking about, it’s all out who’s the best at running away from a fight.

I find ha2 very inconsistent with the br. It seems like I hit them 4 times in the head and they still live

I agree. Very balanced game. Plus each halo honesty wasn’t balanced. H1 was pistol God, h2 was br heaven, h3 had a few different weapons but still mainly br, and reach was dmr driven. H4 was just awful
