When i first started beta i will admit it was a change that i had to get used to from playing MCC but now that its gone i kind of miss it. I felt like the gameplay was faster and i could move about the map smoothly with abilities like clamber and the thruster pack. Now that i go back to playing MCC unless i am playing Halo 4 i am not getting that same feeling yeah halo 2 will always be a classic and always be fun but the pass of the game and everything just seems extremely slowed down. Does anyone else feel this way? Or have any other opinions about them going back to MCC
I have the exact same feeling as you towards it, love the old halo games, and now that im finally finding matches i am loving playing halo 2 again…but i feel like 343 is going in the right direction with halo 5.
The only things i would change is the kill times, they feel a little too fast for my liking and it turned more into a “who shot first” game rather than a game of skill, its what i have always loved about halo, getting shot first and being able to turn the fight around in my favor, to me that and power weapons/map control is what makes halo and halo 5 nailed the map control aspect.
I miss it too… want to play it I do.
Funny that you mention you feel the game is a lot slower now because there’s a $%^ load of people who think it does nothing to increase the speed of the game and actually slows it down. I find these people to be complete idiots and agree with you completely. Without Sprint I feel matches drag on and it takes forever to find someone unless you’re playing on a small map like Lockout or Warlord or even Guardian from H3. After the second week of the Beta I stopped playing though. Not because I didn’t like it but, I got my feel for it and changing maps didn’t do much for me. Plus the achievement hunter in me was getting a little restless and wanted to earn some.
Halo 5 was boring. I give it a chance to impress when the full version releases but it was mind numbing once br starts came in. Halo 5 has potential but maps are uninteresting to fight on and if you miss halo 5 beta go create a pistol/br, thruster load out and play halo 4 on mcc. It is playing the same way minus clamber, ground pound.
The original halo games play faster. Halo 5 with its 1-2 power weapon maps with 8 players and no interesting environmental useages make most games a drawn out load out weapons from spawn fire contest. Sure original halo had that but h2a has made maps with interesting map environments like a giant bubble shield, falling ice ect and all old halo maps have unique advantage points making players say to themselves ‘I must get there to sniper’. An abundance of weapons (3-4 power weapons on each map) excluding small maps like warlord ect and every team gets a fighting chance off spawn (both teams get sniper and shotgun off spawn on sanctuary). Halo 5 has none of this except poor art design so one team can blend into the map.
After playing a game on truth and having both teams bellow 25 kills with 4 minutes left no one will convince me that halo 5 plays faster then old halo games. The only time I feel the old games are slow is when the teams aren’t full.
