with all these updates that has come to halo5; how would you rate halo5 compared to the previous halo games
Reach is still my all time favorite, closely followed by H5! IMO Halo 4 deserve the respect for its BTB maps
I’ve played this game a lot more than the previous. But better memories in Halo 2
Halo 5 still lacks a decent amount of content that previous games in the series had at launch. I don’t personally like the “competitive” focus they have and think that the game is easily the most frustrating game in the series. BTB has always been my favorite thing in Halo games and in this game BTB sucks. Warzone doesn’t do it for me either.
This is honestly at the bottom of the list for me, with Reach. Both do different things wrong, but the end result of both games is a game that is more frustrating than fun.
I’ve played this game nearly non-stop since its release. I love the multiplayer aspect, however, with very bland maps and no developer made BTB maps, it doesn’t make it to the top. The updates are free and that’s great but they’ve been sort of lackluster, releasing a few maps (mainly remixes) and way too many REQs. I’m huge into the campaign also, and Halo’s campaigns and stories have always had me wanting more. Halo 5 is the exception, it’s the first Halo campaign that I never wish to replay. If Halo 5 had dev made BTB maps and a better variety of mp maps (aesthetically) and Warzone maps (all UNSC structures/poor layout) it would 100% be the best Halo mp in my opinion.
I have better memories with older Halo games but H5 has its ups and downs I guess…
Not even close to Halo 2,3, based off of map design alone.
yeah halo5 is most definitely very frustrating at times. in my opinion halo 5 is an overall good game, but for me the responding is terrible. i have spent more time trying to adjust to this halo more then others but i cant say its a top 2 halo. maybe top 3. think about the abilities you have that we’ve always wanted in halo, like clambering… i dont think its too late for halo 5 to become great with a few more original maps, better layout structure, and adding a classic mode for all the halo realist to play. (no sprint, no spartan charge, no ground pound and better radars)
Campaign kills it from the start. The MP is a step in the right direction after the debacle that was H4. BTB maps are all forge made, it’s clear 343 wants everyone in warzone. We’re still missing Team Doubles which is unacceptable. It’s better than 4 in terms of MP so it has “that” going for it. Still subpar for a halo game. In order it’s CE-3 (interchangeable) then its reach , 5 , some used toilet paper, 4.
Overall MP play experience its the best, content and story though its not the best out of the halos
My thoughts on Halo 5:
I like the new play mechanics, weapons, etc…
I did not care for the campaign/story. The ending was a big let down for me.
I like multiplayer. Maps could use some work though.
My main issue is that I am not able to play modes like KotH, BTB Heavies, Etc… There is no territories, Juggernaut, VIP, etc… Especailly for BTB. I get tired of still only being able to play Strongholds, CTF, and Slayer.
I do have fun when I play, but then I miss BTB with better maps, I miss KotH, etc… so I eventually will either play The MCC or a different game altogether. Usually it’s a different game.
Add more permanent game modes and more variety and I would be playing this game every day.
I’ll just say, for straight up fun playing mp and campaign
MP
- 3 - CE - 2 - 4 (Mostly playing BTB) - R - 5 - ODST FirefightCampaign wise, I had fun playing them co-op/split screen.
MP wise, I had a TON of fun playing split screen/LAN, every weekend, ordering a pizza, etc… and just hanging out.
Campaign
- CE - 3 - 2 - R(Mostly the second half) - 4 - ODST - 5The sad thing now is that NO ONE on my friends lists play Halo 5. Zero. It’s weird to even think that would happen. During Halo 1 - 3 that was unheard of.
Campaign is probably my least favorite which lowers it and I feel like it’s still lacking a lot of content but the custom games are now amazing the gameplay might be my favorite and the forge is by far the best.
Its hard to rank because it has some really bad features but some incredible features that are better than anything.
Oddly enough, I’ve spent most of my time with the Halo series, playing Halo 5. I briefly played 4, through MCC, but wasn’t a big fan. I’d say my heart belongs to Halo 2, but Halo 5 would be top 3 in terms of most played titles of the franchise, followed by CE. 3, 4, and Reach weren’t as big for me, and I don’t even know what ODST was about.
Not even close in my opinion
For me, in order
H3
H2
H:CE
H:R
MCC (when it worked)
H5
H4
This game is probably the most amount of fun I’ve had playing a Halo game.
H5
H3
Halo Wars
H4
Reach
Never played H2, CE, or ODST online.
For multiplayer alone halo 5 is a very close 2nd to halo 3 (best multi player ever) and that’s saying something as I’m a die hard halo 3 player and this halo is so addictive and amazing content. Can’t wait for what halo 6 has in store and hopefully campaign is focused on a bit more.
My all time favorite was Halo 2 (and that’s probably more for the nostalgia), and I put Halo 5 right under it. I have a lot of gripes with the game but that’s mostly related to playlists and content, not gameplay itself.
The gameplay is amazing in my opinion. The addition of clamber, thrusters, and sliding has made it the most fun halo game I’ve played I believe. The Thrusters add a whole new skill to the game.
I would say that Halo 5 is better than Halo Reach and The 4, but that’s not really saying much. They’ve alienated so many hardcore fans at this point. I really hope they get it together and realize making Halo increasingly indistinguishable from the rest of the “modern shooter” market is not working very well.
Halo 5 IS the best Halo in my opinion and ive been playing since CE.
some will say yes some will say know, it is in some aspects its not in others.
