Sorry, but i’m out. It’s way too much like COD. You may get a few extra hit points, but if someone gets the jump on you, you’re pretty much dead. Cheap deaths just like COD. Most of my kills have been shooting someone in the back or someone unaware i was aiming for them, or a bunch of my teammates spamming frags. What happened to the shootouts where the more skilled player wins? Now you just blast someone in the back or take them by surprise. And there might as well not be a radar. It shows people maybe 10 feet in front of you.
The ranking system is horrible. I could get 30 kills and a 5.0 K/D ratio but if i randomly get bad players and my team loses, i get penalized. The ranking system doesn’t take into account personal skill. It also feels unbalanced. The last game i played, my team had players that haven’t even hit bronze or silver and had negative K/D ratios up against a team that were above gold and had high K/D ratios. Where is the matchmaking? This happens pretty much ever game. You’re either destroying the other team or you team is being obliterated. It never feels like a fair fight. That’s all just my opinion. But i can’t stand it anymore. If you like it, then have fun.
You haven’t even tried a competitive gametype yet. We are just dealing with the AR start gametype and the AR is a bit too powerful in this BETA a year in advance to the official release. Once we have BR starts, No radar, no killcam, and objectives this game will feel a lot different. Just keep playing and actually provide valuable feedback and not have a hissey fit on forums
It’s absolutely not true that if someone gets the jump on you they win. You have sooooo many escape options. You can nade and back off. Or just totally not engage the fight if you know you are unlikely to win. That’s what good players do, they choose their battles.

That’s not what halo is about, it should not be about using escape methods(to an extent). It should be about turning a battle around which is nearly impossible considering how the AR can kill in three shots once the shield is gone (if two people get the jump on you with an AR its over)
In other games if you could not use skill to turn a battle around to kill players, you died,no escaping, it’s your fault…or if you did escape it was because you used skill to get away from players, not that you used a gimmick to get away.

> That is my problem with halo 5
To be honest, it’s all about the mechanics and strategy. There is nothing in Halo 5 that you cannot counter or work as a team to outplay your opposition. Some weapons might seem better than others, but that’s not the end of the story, it is a beta after all, you as a player need to adapt. Once you stop concentrating on what was, and accept what is now, I’m sure you’ll have fun. Halo 2 and 3 are old school, and as great as they were, I really don’t want to play those games any more.

I agree the cod influence makes it just less like the earlier halo games and more like cod You shouldnt have a button for aiming down the sight in halo, and remove the sprinting make it proper halo game and im gonna be happy, the combat is way too messy and just no control like all. its like cod advanced warfare .killcams and loadouts and aiming down sight eww. And i also dislike how easy everyone can escape from combat now.

But you’ve ALWAYS had a button for aiming down the sight.
