I found a love for the Halo franchise when I first played Halo 2. That love grew to a new level with the release of Halo 3. I remember getting home from practice in high school, rushing to get everything, done just to play Halo 3. I still play Halo 3 to this day, just to reminisce on one of the greatest games made. With that being said my friends and I were very good Halo 3 players. We played against many pros while climbing the upper level ranks in the MLG Playlist. Halo 3 took a large amount of skill, thus the reason why there was such a large gap between even brigadiers and generals (having multiple level 50 accounts is my source.)
Next was Halo 4 for me. I did enjoy Halo Reach to an extent but I think halo 4 was the next best in the series. It was tough to pick up out of the box but that proved for a large skill curve. Again there was a skill gap between the elite and the standard player that could be seen.
All I ask for in Halo 5 is a possible skill gap. With ARs being so powerful, I feel like I’m just playing another COD. Sure I Love COD as well but I want to play Halo. Leave the sprint, leave the armor abilities and all the cool perks, but give me a chance to “OUT BR A BK,” or 4. Let me take on 3 and walk out like a boss.
