Halo 5 is more frustrating than fun.

like I just don’t get it. I played the past halo’s and I did fairly decent. Play games that’s like halo like doom and destiny and I excel. But halo 5 I just can’t seem to get it right. I know its not a good game because it’s the only game a person can play for a year and still not adjust and got good at it. And even to say have gotten worse at it. It’s not a matter of lack of skill its a matter of lack of adaptation to a broken system. It seems like everything in halo 5 plays against each other. Like low aim assist but crazy bullet magnetism. Faster movement but smaller maps. It just doesn’t seem like the bulit for a person to play the game how they want or what’s best for them. Instead they have to adjust to how 343 sees everyone playing the game. Like they expect every to rely on strafe aiming to shoot. Like I strafe a little but I move my right stick way more then my left when I’m aiming and it works for me inevery other game except this one. I hope halo 6 is built more with the player in mind and not how they feel the player should play. Because this game is more frustrating rhan fun. It makes me not like halo. I played frustrating games before and still do but at least i can adjust and have fun and make it less frustrating. Not with halo 5 I cant.

Your highest CSR is onyx and you have a positive KD, so I don’t see how you think you’re bad. Halo 5 has high aim assist and low bullet magnetism, not the other way around. I think this just proves that the ranking system is working and you’re playing against players of similar skill.

I do have a problem with this quote though

> I know it’s not a good game because it’s the only game a person can play for a year and still not adjust and get good at it

How is it a game’s fault if you suck (even though your stats show otherwise)? Almost no one has your problem of not adjusting. There’s only one solution to your problem:

Git gud

Play a lot of octagon. It is fun to play, you can work on your strafe, your shot, and your whipshot. Add me and message me when we are both on and I can help you out with your strafe and aiming.

It’s inconsistent is what it is.Lately it seems like I have to make that extra effort just to get a single kill.

Is it cool if I add you? I need the help also

@arc trooper, no H5 has the lowest aim assist in the series. It’s why 343 later released all those control options in a patch. The controls were jarring for most.
And no bullet magnetism hit boxes are just HUGE, and as you sprint they get bigger.

Personally I don’t like Halo’s gameplay or map design anymore, and thats not 343 hate. I just haven’t loved Halo’s MP since Halo 2.
So maybe your just getting tired of Halo? Tons of top notch shooters out there.

For me I’m just not into asymetrical arena type maps, and gameplay. I prefer open non linear maps and gameplay.

Only way to get better is to play against others better than you are. Gotta think and play strategically to outsmart and outplay other players.

Dude, You are an onyx level player. You are playing the best players in the game if you are at that level. That means you will not dominate matches. If you can maintain a KD of 1 or better at that level then you are doing very well. The other option is to throw your placement matches during the next reranking so you drop to a lower level so don’t have to play as hard and can relax and just play for fun and not sweat it. This ranking stuff I think is stressing people out making them feel that if they don’t “rank up” then they are terrible. Don’t take the game so seriously and you will start to have fun again.

I can taste the hottest topics being spiced in here but I can’t quite see anything beyond a humble brag shaken with some salt.
