We’ve been asking for a long time for improvements to custom content, social game modes, armor that isnt all about grinding packs, maps that arent all remixes, better controller settings, the gravity hammer, the original rocket launcher, etc and if you go back and look 343 has done a hell of a lot to rectify their mistake so far. I mean we said we didn’t like the new rocket launcher and missed the spnkr and its now returned and we wanted a more improved forge and it happened.
343 knows they dropped the (griff)ball a little and theyre obviously working hard to fix that. I mean just in this week we saw communuty breakout, mention of forge world coming to the game, gravity hammers, a brand new from scratch map that isnt a remix, mention of classic and beloved gametypes and just recently new ways of earning armor and more.
I do think 343 stumbled a bit and I do think they should of had more at launch and they still have alot of work ahead of them before the game is entirely what it shouldve been but look at how much theyve fixed already. If you think back to launch day we’ve come a long way, I think we should give them a break and take a second to appreciate all they have done. They didnt have to do any of this to be honest, they didnt have to accept community feedback, they got their money, they couldve left us out in the cold and instead theyre working hard and taking the heat for their mistake and owning up to it. I have respect for that. I think this is the beginning of a comeback for them
It still doesn’t make any sense why there’s no infection. If they added infection, oddball and assault back into the game the complaints would drop substantially.
I learned a long time ago it is just better not to tell other people how to feel or behave. But from my perspective, I will just say I’m surprised seeing people asking for old modes like Oddball, Infection and King of the Hill…I mean, I would like to see them too, but 343 is trying to introduce us to new modes in Halo 5 such as Breakout and Warzone. I realize for some people the variety may seem limited, but I also understand how 343 would want to put more emphasis on those new modes they created for Halo 5, and not give us every Halo playlist from the get go.
Anyways, I’m sure more modes will come soon, hopefully people who really want those will get what they want soon. For me I’m happy…I can play 3 hours of Warzone and if I feel it starts getting repetitive I go Arena and there are tons of modes there,Breakout, Team Arena with CTF, strongholds, etc. I’m a happy camper and looking forward to the next update.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they are too late with too little.
Dropped out of the top 10 ( Xbox Games Catalog: All Games | Xbox ) with in the first 2 months. It’s really so sad since the Halo concept was such an awesome story. Unfortunately 343 despises Halos association with Bungie, they will strip it and change it to the point it is Halo in name ONLY…

I agree with you on that one, Im sure theres a reason though. I dont think theyd purposefully neglect it like this in favor of other game modes without a good reason

Not everyone does only complain about that. There are hate posts about spring and other new stuff
I guess like most people, I’m just wondering what 343 spent the last 3 years doing when they developed this game. I greatly enjoy Halo 5, but there’s no denying its a little short on content.
