What is one element within the Halo 5 multiplayer you absolutely would change to better the experience for both older fans and newer ones alike?
I would remove the spartan abilities for one major reason, a large portion of the Halo community is not a fan of sprint and influencing the requirement to sprint isn’t for the best. (In my opinion) For Halo 5 I feel that it was best for 343 to take the multiplayer back to a more simple aspect such as similar to H3. I’m all for sprint if it is done the right way. 343 is balancing sprint by shielding however I think it should be taken a step further. Instead of unlimited sprint have a limit like in Reach and 4 if you didn’t have the perk. Also when you enter an engagement if you are sprinting there should be a slight delay before you can shoot. This will reward those who don’t sprint and turn sprint into a utility for map purposes and not a main tool in battle.

well I was hoping more people would agree that the Spartan Abilities themselves need to go more than the sprint. I can handle sprint but getting charged into because someone is sprinting is another story.

spartan charge is only a problem because the radar is so small, you can’t see them coming
Spartan charge without a doubt. The aim assist and the fact that the radar is so small makes me want to throw my controller across the room whenever I get killed by it.

I have more problems with it when I know they are there… You’re waiting to pounce on them around a corner and they fly in sprinting and hit the panic button…
Then you throw in your melee attack, only to whiff completely as they bash you head on. THAT angers me more than getting hit from behind…

I’m more mad at myself in that situation, for knowing something was coming and I failed to counter it

It’s nearly impossible to counter though, that’s the issue… that’s not to mention the weapon reset time is quicker after a Spartan Change than a melee as well.
Even if you DO land the melee, they’re shooting you quicker, even after having done more damage! It’s just not well-balanced or implemented.

that is true and when you do see them its far too late

lol I know there is a lot wrong with the MP and I hope H6 is done correctly, but i’m not pre-ordering the next game.

Spartan Abilities already ruined Halo’s traditional map design, because the map was built around. If it becomes pick ups, which map does not have to be so designed around, it would work better.

Ground Pound would be good in this system not sure about Spartan Charge though.
