Halo 5 is fun to watch/play

After watching HCS daytona I am convinced halo 5 is the best halo. I loved halo 1 and 2 but the MP has not been good again until halo 5. It is an innovative and beautiful game.

I agree love everything about MP (except stealing assassinations) I dont like warzone though

I agree, Halo 5 is very fun

It’s different campaign with multiplayer, halo 5 has the best MP?, Maybe …

The multiplayer mechanics for Halo 5 are definitely solid. I can’t quite say i’ts fun to watch though, mostly because if I’m watching it…that probably means I could be playing it myself, which I’d rather be doing.

Obviously things like split-screen, a better (more transparent?) ranking system, better multiplayer UI etc could boost Halo 5 into the upper-echelon of Halo gaming - but as far as competitive multiplayer, it’s pretty damn good. At its core, it’s better than Reach, 4, and CE - but I don’t think it’ll ever make a run at Halo 2/3’s crown.

There are still extremely annoying things in multiplayer, like spartan charge and a maddeningly small radar, but it’s a solid game.

Also, campaign blows chunks - but we’re talking multiplayer here so I’ll shut up.

yeah its by far the best recent halo, followed by reach was also very good, I mean Ive played a lot of halo 5, and for watch, since there are a lot of times when I cant play the game but I can watch stuff on it, well then I do it, (preferably lore stuff,)

It’s grown on me a lot since launch as far as playing it. I’ve always liked watching it.

It’s really fun to watch good players pull off insane plays.

I love watching it but playing it can get frustrating to play. I think it’s really good but could be SO much better. I still prefer to play it over other Halo’s though.

I agree it’s a pretty solid game. It’s not perfect, but it’s certainly enjoyable.

You know, I spend a lot of time in the forums griping and complaining and feeling sorry for myself about how the enhanced movement abilities in Halo 5 increase the skill gap and make it a much harder game for less-skilled players like myself to enjoy casually, vs the older titles… but I actually do have to be completely honest: the rare times when I get equal matches against other people as horrible as I am, it is indeed a lot of fun. In those moments, I kind of get why so many other people love it.

(Strictly referring only to MP of course. The campaign, specifically the story, is a dumpster fire. But that’s not what’s being discussed here.)

I agree that gameplay-wise this is probably my favorite Halo, and I actually enjoy warzone

I’m not one of those people who watches sports in general and I don’t watch other people play Halo either. Part of it is that I don’t have the spectator gene. But also, when I see people do things that I’m not capable of doing, it doesn’t make me think, “Wow, that was amazing,” or “Wish I could do that.” It makes me think, “What a load of -Yoink-.”

Multiplayer keeps drawing me in, and for some reason I just can’t stop playing it.

I love watching Halo Championship events. It is fun to watch and it is great to see the better Halo players in the world doing incredible stuff that you’ll probably never do, with those great shots and jumps and overkills… It’s intense!

Now that I have figured out how to fix the aiming, I am actually enjoying playing halo 5, all the maps and grenades make the game a little frustrating but oh well. Wanting to watch some tournaments soon. Missed the Daytona unfortunately.

Yup H5 multiplayer is really fun to play and yes I hate when someone steal my assassination too :frowning:

It’s like a CoD with a Halo mash up… So not a Bad Halo but Not really the best at all. Less content at release, no real place for casual’s for more than a year, a lot of Bad changes like the Arena ranking, Missing splitscreen, Bad armor style, Bad colour, Bad campaign,Bad idea with the Emblems etc…

The only thing I like about Halo 5 is the Forge.
Stopped playing Halo 5 cause it was just boring, and I quit with it like many friends too. Compared with the time when Halo 3 and Reach were released, they are better than Halo 5. Im General they are better.

I dont understand why ppl want faster faster games, Halo was there a good game compared to CoD. Also the whole esport around Halo 5 is totally Bad. The majority of the players in Halo are the casual players who want fun and a good Story

I disagree.

I don’t really find Halo 5 very fun to watch or to play. I’d much rather play/watch Halo CE, Halo 2, or even Halo 3(though, I wasn’t a fan of the equipment pickups in 3). There’s just too much going on in the game now.

Playing Halo 5 is comparable to swatting at flies with the way everyone zips around the map. Watching Halo 5 is like watching children’s cartoons with how silly all of the abilities make everything look. In the older Halo games, with the limited moveset, it required more finesse to use what moves were available to get the upper hand. Now, with there being a single button press to dodge, climb, run, etc., it’s no fun to watch or take part in.
