Has Halo 5 hit the nail in the coffin for 343
I enjoy the multiplayer myself but as for the company they show too much of a lack towards there fans and that is were they fail indefinitely.
For alot the die hard fans from H1-3, they totally did. For newer people to the community, i have no clue.
Had the armors been set unlocks, and beating it on Legendary actually unlocks stuff, I would say no. But since literally everything in this game is RNG, I say yes.
Im a die hard fan for H1-H3, I play the MCC extensively and I was a martyr for bringing down H4 lol. Halo 5 I feel takes a step in the right direction, but I want to see 343 do more and better.

They went a brought in a pro team.

so the beta was just them testing waters and that got some pretty bad stats if you looked at them 
Then the pro team helped playtest and throw in a bit of feedback (A few above average players being payed by 343)
The forgers got to playtest forge. thats it
Id rather hear feedback from people who can be critical like the fans that arent being payed for playing halo. This means no streamers/youtubers that focus mainly on halo
343 have no respect from the community they have constantly screwed over and dont stay in touch, for example we can not play at this moment in time because we dont earn anything, exp, req or even competitive ranking and nothing on there website or twitter to tell us the community what is going on.
I like halo 5, been told the campaign is a let down and come on who will do the legendary campaign man I loved grinding the difficult stuff to unlock the best gear and now what is the point except a challenge???

I agree with this completely. I disliked Halo 4 and played a ton of MCC but I feel like Halo 5 is a step in the right direction at least. As they release more content I am excited to see how this game develops. I don’t particularly love the ranking system, but the game play is way better in my opinion.
I love how most of the people on Halo Waypoint feel like they represent the ENTIRE Halo community. Seriously though, you people represent maybe 1/10 of the Halo community. Stick to constructive criticism, not these “I speak for everyone” posts.

He is right though OP, a lot of people view themselves as speaking for the whole community and every Halo Veteran out there.
I voted No because it’s a step in the right direction I love where the multilayer is going. Truthfully Halo needed to do a small evolution to keep competition and this is it.

Limiting the game is definitely not the step in the right direction. The ideas within the game is good but since its limiting itself players will be forced into something that could of been given as an option example customs.

Game play wise it’s a step in the right direction no doubt about that like I said Halo needed to evolve a little bit. The lack of playlists and social playlists are a bit disappointing but keep trying to hold what the core game play does well back because a lack of playlists.
Well, this is my (pretty incoherent) impression so far, having beat the Campaign and played a few matches of Warzone.
Campaign I feel is one of the better ones in the franchise. At least as far as gameplay and level design is concerned. Power sliding into kills with the rocket-gungoose was a ton of fun. The story however was…well…a lot of people have mixed feelings on that one. Also on an unrelated note if we have to lose Cortana then I’d like to request that Exuberant appears in future titles because she was just -Yoinking!- adorable. Anyways…
Weapon balance is in a good spot, could be better. One complaint I have is the Needler. I know it doesn’t have a history of being a good gun, but from what I’ve used of it, it just seems especially terrible this time around. Automatics still need work as well, and so do the levels of aim assist.
I feel like there was a significant amount of false advertising involved with this game. We were promised like twenty something maps on launch, no? What we got was just the same maps announced to us before release, as well as a handful of forge maps, most of which aren’t even suitable for arena. Sorry-not-sorry, forge maps don’t qualify as valid parts of a map count. Every game since Halo 3 launches with forge maps in addition to the regular ones, that’s not a valid selling point and it’s dishonest at best. There also seems to be a large disconnect between the marketing campaign and the actual plot of the game itself. Yes, we hunted the truth, but it was a hunt for a different and unrelated kind of truth.
Overall I can’t really say it’s so bad that it’s “the final nail in the coffin.” It might not live up to all expectations but it doesn’t feel like a terrible game either.

On behalf of the entire halo community… This game blows…as for constructive crit, take the game back before you ruin anymore of good memories of halo.

Ironic -Yoink- posting is still -Yoink- posting.
If you aren’t being ironic…then may the mods have mercy on your soul.
I hope so.
I want nothing more than Halo to be given to somebody else.
I wish Max would take the lead again…
This is the first Halo since Halo 3 that I truely enjoyed every aspect of. I hope they keep doing what they are, and continue to push the franchise forward, and not try to live in the past.
I I will say not perfect, the graphics have a bit more pop in than I would like and the shadows always big me, but gameplay I love.

The hailstorm Needler easily makes up for that. Believe me when I say it is the meta in close-mid range…
But the Fuel Rod is just… sorry. I basically ran out of Reqs for it because I would always die before getting to use it. The bullet drop range and splash damage are pathetic as well and they made it fire very slowly for some reason.
Frankly I don’t care anymore that I’m out of them. They’re god-awful.
