I like every halo for different reasons. And there are things I dislike with every halo. Theres always something.
In terms of campaign, it’s not the worst, (looking at halo 4) or the best. (looking at halo 3) In terms of multiplayer, it’s either the closest to, if not, the best multiplayer we’ve had since halo 4. (in my opinion) Overall, the game is pretty dang awesome. And let’s not forget the content updates which are still on the way.
I respect the OP’s opinion, but mine differs.
Sure, Halo 5 fractured the community even more than Halo 4 did, but I applaud 343 for moving the series forward and continuing to give us content for free. They brought serious changes to the table (a lot of hits and misses) and I’m fine with that. Y’know, at least they did a better job than Reach with Spartan abilities. Overall, Halo 5 isn’t a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination, but I can still enjoy it as someone who is a veteran of the series. In my books the worst Halo goes to Halo Wars or Halo 4, and those weren’t even thaaaaat bad.
Edit: Do I prefer change over the original formula? No, but I can accept it.

Have u really played the game there are weapons and vehicles on maps just not warzone unless thats what u meant
It’s not the best, or the worst. It’s okey compared to Halo 4 for instance
No. It’s the best (For multiplayer, which is what i only play). And yes, i’ve played all of them, it keeps getting better. Except for Halo 4 progression system, but the game was fun. Yes, i said it.
To be honest I agree, the use of req’s is beyond pointless. the ui is such a mess , plus the ban system for game is horrible, ending a game by getting banned!?!? What was the point of this game?

I like how the further down the list you go, the less sense you make.
> 2535459229599316;3:
> No, definitely not the worst. Multiplayer was one of, if not the best in the series. I agree with your views about campaign somewhat, but you can’t judge a game on its campaign because that is not what keeps fans playing after 7 months. Customization isn’t the best to be honest, many of those armor pieces are ugly but there is quite a selection of appealing pieces to chose from. IMO, 4 was worst and reach next. (I love all halo games, some are just better than others, reach holds a special place in my heart)
The multiplayer is too Call of Duty for me. Adding ADS for everything, thrust, sprint. Feels like Advanced Warfare.
Is it just me or does it seem the majority of the complainers talk as if they either have never played H5 or played it for like 10 mins didn’t like it and gave up… just sayin…
halo 2 was the worst when it came to story no other halo game has left me feeling so empty at the end. halo 5 is not a bad game sure the previews weren’t part of the game but do I care …no, no i don’t I do say I miss where you could customize every part of your Armour the paldrins gauntlets torso though I don’t really mind they way they have it now

the only point I agree with is no split screen and you can play the game offline read the error message that pops up when you go offline
Broken MCC < Halo 5.
Buuuuuuut…
MCC working as it should’ve >>>>>>>>>>> Halo 5. (Just read the above post)
so ummm, wheres the dislike button? 343 cares about halo way more than Bungie did and their both listening to the community and trying to help the community… The negativity needs to stop or people like you will be the reason halo stays where it is population wise, cause no one can accept that with time comes change!

Yes reach was hated pretty hard and now everyone says how great reach was. I liked reach anyway

Did you like halo 4 more than halo 5??

Yes, because why spend time playing a game that you don’t like?

> In my opinion Halo: 5 is the worst halo ever made, and personally I am offended by it. To me I feel 343 does not care about the Halo universe the way Bungie did. Halo: 5 has less armor customization ability than Halo: 3. What I mean by that is you can only change the entire armor set (legs, shoulders, chest all together) and the helmet. Yes, you can change the visor but big deal. Halo: 3 allowed you to change both shoulders, chest, and helmet. Don’t get me started on Halo: Reach (halo customization heaven). Yes, Halo: 5 has a lot of armor to choose from (and I mean a lot) however, most of it is recycled garbage. 343 seems to have shown no effort or creativity with the armor.

> The campaign in my opinion was utter -Yoink-; it was too short and ended terribly, and let’s not forget the fact that the previews for Halo: 5 were NO WHERE near accurate to the campaign. I feel 343 is just trying to get as much money as possible, something that can be seen with the new REQ system which allows you to buy the packs, making unlocking new armor pointless, and not even a challenge. I cannot begin to express how frustrated and down right upset the lack of effort that was put into this game makes me.

> I feel Halo: 5 was a giant middle finger to the Halo community and we all sat on it. There’s so much more that is just terrible about this game, and you all know what those things are. We all have our own opinions. Some of the things I hate you may love. I do love some features of Halo: 5 but, they aren’t enough to save it for me. I want to hear what you think. What’s your opinion on the game?
I love halo 5, I may not like some aspects but its still really, really good

The req system actually wouldn’t be bad, except that’s the only way to get any sort of character customization. 343 can’t manage playlists effectively to create fun experiences. At this point, I feel like they are just taking a dump on this series and the playerbase, and they just soak up the money from merchandising and reqs.

> I’ve never seen a series have so much heated debates until 343 took over Halo. Clearly 343 messed up on there direction and the sales prove it. Halo was a unique FPS that separated it from others FPS’s and that’s why it was successful if they go back to the classic formula it will be successful. Stop trying to get the COD crowd in this series. Every Cod player that joins 2 or 3 Halo vets leave.
Sadly true, 343i haven’t done anything right since they took over, now they want use to put up with modern Halo becoming like modern CoD, is just isn’t getting any better.
More Halo is CoD discussion? I’ll show myself out.
