Now though Halo 5 is definitely a step in the right direction to the original fans, I uninstalled it after 3 games.Halo shouldnt be some generic Call of Duty MLG rip off, it should be the Original halo the actual fans used to love from Halo 1-3, while also adding additional features that WORK with that same experience… rather than adding things in order appeal to a difference audience over and over again while utterly failing the once legend of a franchise. All of these abilities like Sprint Thrusters, Wall Climb, Ground Pound, spartan Charge, smart scope, sprint and even the emphasis on power weapons just takes away from what Halo is supposed to be, it all makes the environment too fast paced, its like all they have in mind is MLG. What made halo great was the map control, the nice Mid/Slow paced environment, it wasnt really complicated and it was just nice, it was refreshing to play and definitely not generic like it is today. Its like all 343 does is shove gimmicks down our throat and try to appeal to the CoD/MLG crowd, but like I said, they are going in the right direction and its definitely good that ordinance and all that stuff are gone. To me and from what I can see, many others… so far Halo 5 is generic, its not its own thing anymore, just as Halo reach and 4 were, but really, thats just my opinion, people will buy it but after a year or so will probably just drop the game because its too easy, generic and repetitive, similar to that of Halo Reach, Halo 4 and Destiny.
