Halo 5 may have had good qualities like good music, some cool looking armor, forge, etc. However the sheer amount of negative aspects are overwhelming:
The primary desired multiplayer modes were not available at launch.
Forge wasn’t available at launch.
The customization is so little.
Too many forgettable and ugly armor.
Uneeded filler armor variants.
The organization of the armor customization UI is messy and unorganized.
There still isn’t any classic playlists, it was just announced.
The theater is buggy as hell and multiplayer used to be too buggy than desired.
Firefight has very little options and the enemies are too difficult. There needs to be variation like in Reach.
The color schemes were so bad that they were changed early on.
The gameplay is too fast paced.
Your radar still doesn’t have enough distance.
The REQ system is too randomized and gives no sense of accomplishment or skill.
Restarting rank each season is irritating as hell,
You completely changed breakout to something it’s not. Make up your minds.
You brought make Halo Reach armors which was cool…,until you couldn’t even get that right. You put emiles knife on the wrong shoulder, carters missing his big shoulder pad on his arm, Kat doesn’t have her robotic arm, and carters helmeted is called COMMANDO not noble valor!
There is no split screen.
343, you guys are losing my trust really quick! Halo 6 is your last shot with me. I’ve loved all Main Halo games before 5, and now you release this disgrace of a game. Get your s$&@ together 343!

These two I agree with a lot, and are actually big problems. But I think 343 understands the importance of split-screen at this point. At least I hope so, considering the backlash. I’m sure we will get it in Halo 6, right?

Let’s talk about what they meant when they said “classic”…

I think these ones are examples of 343 improving (or at least attempting to improve) Halo 5, so I don’t see how they can count as negatives.

They changed this mode into basically another version of slayer. It took away a lot of tension and what made the mode unique. Adding shields, making it mostly closed ranged, adding radar. Originally breakout had none of those.

I’m also hoping you’re right with them learning their lesson…
Reach armor was inspired by the characters. It was Kat’s armor not specifically Kat herself which is why there wasn’t a mechanical arm.
The weapon balance is the best in Halo.
While Forge may came after launch, it was worth it. It is the best Forge in any Halo game.
Overall, this is one of the best games for multiplayer on the market.

Yes, I dont understand while people complain about Halo 5’s forge

while the weapon balance is mostly very good all you have to do is look at the storm rifle and brute plasma rifle and understand that it definitely is not perfect.
UUUGGHH, not more of these threads!
I wouldn’t be surprised if theater is cut in the next game due to the neglect it got in Halo 5
Halo 5? Far from perfect, but it’s still damn fun… Mostly
While everyone has their own opinions, putting halo 5 in the class of having the worst multiplayer I just can’t get behind. It’s one of the best mps to ever be in any halo game.
Theater though… Yeah that’s a mess. Campaign, that was bad.
Halo at launch was way under content, it has oodles of content right now. I don’t think any halo has nearly as many maps total as halo 5 currently does.

Just because a game has good balance doesn’t mean it has a good multiplayer.

Most are forge made maps by the way. Also a lot of the content is playlists that should have been playable at day one. A lot of the armor variants are just lazy. The gameplay is fun though. Campaign being the worst is fact. The multiplayer is part opinion.

agreed while forge wasnt at launch id rather wait than have a glitchy forge.
Worst theater? I can agree with that.
Worst multiplayer? I think Halo 4 can keep that title.
About a third of your list is cosmetic related issues, while your title is about MP and theater… interesting. Anyway this is arguably the best Halo MP, look at arena, weapon balancing, equal starts, no loadouts, the gameplay is fast, however just because you say it’s to fast doesn’t mean that I do, in fact I don’t find it that fast. The only thing I relatively agree with is the theater, and even then I barely agree with you. I think for most of your points a simple IMO would have done well.

Cosmetics is apart of multiplayer, if you don’t agree than you’re just plain ignorant. It’s not in any way the best MP in Halo. Halo 3 holds that title. I’ll give you a damn laundry list of Why the multiplayer is the worst. I only scratched the surface with my list above. Again 343 had very little basic playlists that people love, Halo 4 has everything it needed in terms of playlists. It’s mostly laziness that makes it the worst.

Nope Halo 4 was much better.

There were all ripped from Reach, not inspired. They played on our love for noble team. Nothing else. It wasn’t worth it, using a feature that should have been at launch as an excuse for a dlc is lazy. The balance is the best in Halo 3. Halo 5 isn’t completely balanced. I mean they completely reinvented breakout into just another slayer mode.

There shouldn’t be a rather. We deserve a fully functioning forge at launch!
