I just read through an entire thread dedicated to why Halo 5 sucks. Kind of strange in my opinion considering Halo 5 is still 5 months away and no one knows what the final version will actually be like, but i digress.
I’ve had enough with all the negativity. “Halo is dead, 343 killed Halo, I’m never buying Halo again” etc. etc.
I know many of you have very valid concerns regarding the game, such as no splitscreen, no firefight, microtransactions, etc. but this is neither the time nor the place for those concerns. I want to hear all the good things that you like about this game!
So I’m starting this thread and am dedicating it entirely to the positive aspects of the game. Why are you excited for Halo 5? Warzone? Squad-based campaign? 60 fps @ 1080p? The first new Halo running on a next-gen console? The return of the SMG? A Chief-Locke/Red-Blue showdown? Tell me why you want to buy Halo 5!
Here i will compile a list of all the things users are excited for! Will add new items to the list as they are brought up:
-Focus on competitive gameplay
-Even starts for matchmaking
-Dedicated servers for matchmaking/custom games
-Buck makes another appearance
-Smoothness of shooting/movement
-Groundpound
-Intense campaign storyline
I have my grievances with H5, but all-in-all it’s looking pretty good.
Back to basics with even starts and a focus on competitive gameplay has restored that classic Halo feel.
Keep up the good work, 343!
It’s already easily better than halo 4, I think that is something a lot of people aren’t realizing. It’s got a lot of substance, it’s just the “upper layer” stuff that is annoying me, like no elites in forge and customs, no custom warzone, the fact they didn’t show larger gameplay at the e3 demo. Overall this game is probably amazing, I just hope they don’t -Yoink- it up somehow, like no forge or something crazy like that.

Well there were 4 maps in the beta made in forge, so I don’t think they would remove it.
I admit, when I first saw Halo 5 on the Halo Fest livestream, I was conflicted, but now I’ve preordered and waiting patiently to pick it up from Gamestop.

Yeah, after watching the freaking -Yoink- load of information about Fallout 4 I wanted so much more from Halo
I’m excited because of the dedicated servers that all matchmaking and custom games will be played on.
P.S. I wish you would have added this fact in your post too -_-

Felt the same here fans got everything they’ve been wanting the same day they showcased the fallout 4 stuff we got no playboy elites. But seriously I’m very happy with the story I’ve read all the halo books and this just combines alot of my favorite characters. We’ve got blue team and forerunners and probably flood. Oh and buck I also like all the new multi fire weaponry. 343 has really shined for the campaign but needs to add community playlist and more custom options back to multiplayer.
I’ve loved every single Halo game (besides the two mobile games, didn’t really play them) and this game looks to be no different. I also get sick of people talking about how 343 ruined the franchise. As far as the FEEL of the games, the smoothness of the shooting and movement, Halo 4 is the best in my opinion, and playing the H5 Beta made me think that that was even better. This FEEL of the games, and campaign have always been what makes a game a halo game to me. These two things have only gotten better with each successive game, though Reach was weaker than the others.
Regarding things like Firefight and Forge and Custom Games and Spartan Ops and everything else that is different from game to game, I have always been able to adjust to the differences rather quickly and just accepted them as being part of the game. I can not point to one single thing in ANY Halo game that has made me stop considering the Franchise to be my favorite franchise.
I couldn’t be more excited for Halo 5, and it will probably be the only game to overtake Destiny in terms of “Time Played”
I’m excited to ground pound enemies again!
Also to play campaign because the way greenskull described it, it seems like it’s going to be so much fun.
I am excited for silky smooth and beautiful gameplay, the pulse-pounding story sure to be delivered (as this is certainly 343i’s specialty), and big team battles through Warzone and BTB.
