Halo 5 Multiplayer looks really difficult?

Iv been watching a lot of game play and it always seems like there’s too much going on the screen to actually follow and do anything about. Maybe its just really fast paced which is throwing me off.

It has actually been made easier so that new comers to the series can have a much easier time transitioning into the game.

Warzone? It’s like Big Team Battle meets Firefight … so yeah, maybe a bit. But it’s casual, just some massive PVP PVE Halo awesomeness.

Arena should be like the beta. I see you played that, so as long as you enjoyed yourself there, you should be good.

Really? Maybe because iv been playing halo so long all this extra stuff just seems excessive.(Thrusters, air smash, and aiming down)

Don’t let the gameplay vids scare you. It always seems hard to follow what’s going on in these vids because it’s not you playing. You want to see what’s going on to the left but the person playing the game turns to the right so it catches you off guard. Maybe you see an enemy before the player does so you feel like it took forever to start shooting. Once you’re in there you’ll be whooping all kinds of -Yoink-

I see what you’re getting at. The streamers iv been watching are just going nuts on the screen with grenades and running every direction possible.

Nuts with the grenades? Remember Halo 2?

Wait a minute … is this some elaborate way of telling us you think Halo’s gotten too far removed from it’s roots? If so, hold on, I gotta gif here somewhere … here it is.

If not, ignore that. lol

Nah, you’re free to have your own opinions and tastes, man :slight_smile:

It does look difficult but in a fun challenging sort of way. I really cannot wait to get my hands on it so I can work on getting the new movement down. I sure wish I had the early access to the multiplayer as I would play and stream it non stop over the next two days :slight_smile: my gamertag is Justinkeylord. I totally understand that it will be available for everyone in a few days. Though, I am big fan of halo and I want to serve this community by streaming it for everyone to know why Halo 5 should be bought and why Halo franchise is legendary.

Agreed watching people play the game is getting me really excited to see if I can master the new gameplay but i can already tell its gonna be a struggle for a while haha

I don’t think you have ever played H2/3 when it was at its prime.

I played halo 3 in its prime and I kinda caught halo 2 on its tail end.

Harder to Master? Yes. hard to approach? Absolutely not

Halo 2 - One Flag on waterworks was just a massacre on the bridge at the start of the game.

How did you do in the beta?

Lol, I’m such a -Yoink!-, this is going to be challenging. “Slide, drop, roll, hover, cartwheel … stomp!”

Yea, thats pretty much how it goes for a lot of games these days (Except pay-to-win games)

I’d argue that these newer Halos are actually less accessible than the simpler design / gameplay of the original trilogy. So much clutter happening on the screen and even the maps, as well as a barrage of abilities. Just seems more chaotic and intimidating for the novice player who just bought the game.

The reason gameplay looks difficult is the amount of Aim assist. It almost doesn’t exist. The last game with tHalo 5’s aim assist was CE and that was 14 years ago, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it seems off.
