HALO 5: What it desperately needs *PLEASE READ*

Games Halo 5: Guardians

I need support on this if you agree

I am a 27 year old gamer who has been playing halo since about this time of year, 13 YEARS AGO! I was 14 years old in 2001 when this game truly changed my life. The guys at 343 are doing great things but going in the wrong direction with this series. I truly believe what made Halo so popular is just the basics and simplicity of it. I was just watching beta game play of Halo 5 (which inspired this post) and I can tell from just watching it that this game is not going to garner as much popularity as planned. If you ask any TRUE halo fan what the best game of the series is, most will either say H1 or H2. Why is this? Because these games focused on pure gun skill and map control. There weren’t silly things like armor abilities and “equipment” getting in the way of game play. I would say 90% of the community wants the game to go back to it’s origins. I love the appearance of H5 but the game play of every halo since h3 has just had this clunky/heavy/slow feeling. If you guys could just make a 2015 graphically pleasing game, with the feeling and movement of H2 CLASSIC (being able to switch weapons fast, sniping was fast, accurate and easy, pulling the sword out to finish somebody off quickly) combined with the strategy and individual competitiveness of H1, you guys would have a true hit and a game that everybody would not want to stop playing. TRUST ME ON THIS. Why do you think everybody was so hyped for MCC to come out? They want to go back to the basics and you guys at 343 keep making Halo something that it’s not. I hope to gain some popularity on this post because I love Halo and want to see Halo 5 be a great game. From what I saw on the beta, I was very dissatisfied. Please let me know if you all agree or disagree on what I’m saying.

I disagree. So far, Halo 5’s multiplayer seems to perfectly balance evolved gameplay while keeping it’s competitive roots.

First of all, I totally disagree with you, secondly 343i did anticipate people who wanted to go back to the roots of Halo, that is why they created the MCC, and third H5G is the best Halo to date from what I’ve seen, it is perfectly balanced, has fair start for everybody and is focus primarily on skills and map control, the only thing they added was better movements for all, like the thruster pack, balanced sprint with no recharging shield, a clamber ability for all, and very little aiming aid. I’d say this Halo is going to be the Best Halo Yet Period. If you don’t like it, you could always stay in the MCC!

I have seen halo 5 beta gameplay and it look like the same old halo. Looks really nice too, halo is evolving for the better

Well, if you are talking simplicity, Halo 5 feels simpler than 4 already.

Think of it as Halo 2/3 with actual inhuman Spartans that do more than just shoot and throw grenades instead of just bulky oversized marines. Do you feel better now?

i mean… they can keep the aas etc…i like them, but on the other side - how about a veto system like halo 3 had with the option to vote against aa equipment?

OP, why don’t you wait and play the beta first, and THEN ask to change things if they don’t seem right to you.

We haven’t played it yet and people are complaining about what they’ve SEEN, not what they’ve EXPERIENCED playing the beta.

Sheesh.
