I like how when Halo reaches the top 10, no one pays attention, yet people are adamant about using the top 10 as an argument. As if it has to be in the top 10 for you to play the game.

A well received game like Rocket League is about to fall out of the top 20.

In my opinion Halo 5 is amazing, the worst Halo would have to be Halo 4, and that was still a good game. Matches have 0 BS and run on dedicated server! Forge! Don’t even get me started, if I talked about forge I would take up the entire 7500 character limit!!! I agree, Campaign was a disappointment, but in the end it is a fictional universe, and if I want the story to end with Halo 4 I can tell myself that all I want. (honestly a huge disappointment, it was kind of fun though I am talking about the story) Warzone if fun too, and I do wish we had more gamemodes, KoTH is a huge missing favorite of mine. The Req system in my opinion is actually great! It lets us get a bunch of new stuff every month and lets us get maps and DLC for free! Yes, I wish we had more control over our customization, I agree with you that Reach had the best system. But it isn’t too bad!

love the mp, hate everything else.

Halo 4 was such a pile of crap I never got past SR10, so I think all halo games are great, apart from four.

It just proves my point on how so many people think halo is to good in name to not be top dog.

You’re completely missing the point. The point is people made their own choice to stop playing due to lack of interest, the top 10 is just to point out that people are lying about Halo 5 being the best or most popular Halo in the series. It really does sound like you can’t accept the facts by making assumptions to provoke responses. It’s one of the worst selling Halo games in the franchise…that speaks volumes over anything involving top 10 since right now less people are buying the game, less people are playing Halo 5 than any previous Halo game.

I haven’t read other comments yet, however, I will say that when this game first launched there were a good number of positive things about it. I like the fact that there is frequently new content, that the new maps are free. The over all basic mechanics of the game are better than Halo 4, and at least at launch were reasonable. The basic function and premise of the game is also a very fun game. Also, it is Halo, so it has an immediate draw there as well. Plus, I personally like many of the artistic choices made.

So now that I said the positive…

  • 343i could use to focus on the quality of game play instead of producing quite so much new content. The tweaks are often not obvious, or take a player by storm. I don’t even know when they introduced the latest controller settings.
  • There seems to be a large number of bugs that I’ll classify with the classic “who shot first?”. I have killed some one, watched them die, and seen another player get credit. I have been marked as being killed by a grenade when it was a pistol that killed me, and more often than not the other way around. I’ve been killed by players seconds after I killed them (often not by a grenade they threw) or had times where I melee’d them and I died from their melee but the animation for their melee occurred well after I hit RB.
  • Assault rifles are unbalanced as all hell. They’re just way to damn powerful. I mean how does an AR beat a pistol (or BR) from half way across the map?
  • Pistols and other long range weapons have been severely nerfed when it’s not a head shot. I’ve hit a guy with half a clip from a pistol and he turned and killed me with an AR by the time I could reload.
  • Spartan Charges are just out of control. They can be initiated right on top of some one, kill their shield and then they are one shotted. That’s just dumb and it is being used worse than the mess that is grenades.
  • Grenades are an AoE damage, yet the damage doesn’t seem to have any real dissipation over distance. If you’re any where near the thing, half to all your shield is gone.
  • Weapon reloads take too long and if the animation isn’t 100% complete, doesn’t matter if you hear the click of the ammo going in, but 100% complete, and you use your thrusters are do anything to interrupt it, you have to do the WHOLE reload process again. This makes you a very easy target. Especially if you just killed another player and then some one chooses to capitalize on it. The reload itself just takes too long to begin with.
  • Speaking of animations, since the day the game was launched there has been a big glitch with over shield. This one is a bit difficult to explain, but I’ll give it a go. If you’re jumping over an over shield when picking it up, and some one tries to kill you, the over shield never activates and you die. Yet if you are able to slide when picking up an over shield it stops the animation and it is just active. This is horribly inconsistent. Nothing annoys me more that picking up an over shield and dying before its activated.
  • Shields and thrusters. Shields sometimes feel like they take a REALLY long time to recharge. Using your thruster restarts the recharge clock, and worst of all there seems to be a timing issue where if you use your thruster as the clock expires the clock still starts over again. More so, the recharge animation it self takes too long. I’ve died many times because on top of waiting for the recharge to start it hadn’t completed by the time I had been attacked.
  • Networking - I have a good internet connection, and while I don’t know how many of the issues that feel network related are indeed network related, and how many are due to poor coding in response to network events, these issues are very frequent in the game
  • Almost every time I play a guy the req system is not functioning properly, marked with loading (maybe that’s the backend store, but usually quitting the game entirely and relaunching fixes it, so I don’t think so).
  • There seems like a serious lag issue with the game. I see players glitching all over the board in a way that I have not seen since Halo 2.
  • Match making preferences: They just suck, fix them please. Focused seems as bad as what we had before, balanced worse, and I really rather not find out about expanded.
  • The CSR system and initial rankings is just F.O.O.B.A.R.
  • The first and biggest issue is that the monthly reset is just too frequently. I find myself playing more than I want just to get ranked and need to “work up”. It’s definitely not designed for the more casual player. I play a bit too much and I still find it resets to frequent. I’d say every 2-3 months would be more appropriate.
  • I know some people may disagree with my previous bullet point, however, consider this, it’s May 30th, and I’m frequently having unranked opponents messing up match making algorithms. We reset in a couple days, yet F.F.A. and layer with 3 unranked per match hurts things.
  • Perhaps let players CSRs dropped to the next tier if they keep loosing at rank 1 within (maybe say the equivalent of an imaginary tier worth). I’d hate it at times, but I think it would allow peoples CSRs to “normalize” over time.
  • Speaking of a need for CSR normalization, I’ve seen platinums that clearly should not be platinum, diamonds that are a joke, golds that should be way above me but aren’t, and golds that should be bronze. I’ve gone and looked at some of their service records to see if it was just the match or a trend, so this isn’t just “they sucked!” or “Oh my god they kicked my -Yoink-!”
  • Okay now my last biggest complaint is the ban hammer. I’m not sure if quitting is auto ban now, or if you still need to be reported.
  • “too many” now means 1.
  • Long bans for quitting a really unbalanced and broken F.F.A. match is really severe
  • Once I got booted from a game for accidentally accepting a fire team invite from a friend when I thought it was a party invite (yeah I wasn’t paying enough attention) and after 1 slayer match I got banned for 48 minutes.
  • New maps and tweaks
  • I wish more time was spent on creating larger for team (not big team) maps, or at least maps that aren’t largely the last map that came out but “different”

Summary: The game has a lot of potential, but I feel the game play and mechanics could use some TLC instead of just “new new new”. I want it all though, so great new original content would be great too! (All for free, right?)

> I ask for evidence and you give me a single man’s opinion and for all i know that man is you, nice one. I’ll shut up anyways, there’s no point in continuing an arguement I’ve already won, bubye. :slight_smile:

You wanted evidence that I wasn’t the only one saying it. I gave it to you. I’ll take that as admitting to defeat. Not a graceful loss, but when you grow up you’ll take a step out of your bubble and see that there is much more out there to know and learn about. You’re still young, so you’ll be wrong a lot in life, but it’s how you handle it that will determine where you end up.

THIS!.
This guy gets it…150%.

I’d definitely say 4 is the worst one. While 5 isn’t perfect in the slightest it’s definitely a significant step above 4.

i did not, “miss the point”. there are literally hundreds of games on the xbox marketplace, why would top 10 matter to your, personal enjoyment level? oh we are talking about the “masses”? again, there is over a hundred games, the fact that, halo is anywhere near, let alone IN the “top ten” is a sentiment that it is very much so still very popular. this “hurdur not in the top 10? game is dead” mindset people in this forum is absolutely childish. as halo, not being in the top ten effects nothing but pretentious ego’s of the playbase it self, the way the person i replied to spoke, was very much in a crying fashion. the fact is, halo is “failing” is because of the very fanbase that swears it wants to “save” it. crying over something as trivial as my precious halo isn’t as popular as it was TEN years ago?? must be time to jump ship. is counter productive to say the least is it now?

i can “accept the facts” that halo is not as popular as it once was, that’s what happens, things burn out. (yes even almighty call of duty, is on a rocky sales chart this last 4 years) it seems like the people agressive crying about a top 10 spot, when again there are hundreds of games. are the one’s who seemly can’t.

Too be fair, they have a right to lose interest. Maybe they’re simply not interested in Halo in general anymore? And rightfully so; they can go and find something else they love, and we can stay and continuing loving what we do. A smaller fanbase, isn’t always a BAD thing. Bad for the devs, maybe. But having even a tiny, supportive fanbase is all ANY franchise needs.

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.

I get faster matches in Halo REACH with just 130 players playing in a certain game type (at the time there was a total population of ~ 9000 players). Chew on that for a while :wink:

The point is people made their own choice to stop playing due to lack of interest, the top 10 is just to point out that people are lying about Halo 5 being the best or most popular Halo in the series. It really does sound like you can’t accept the facts by making assumptions to provoke responses. It’s one of the worst selling Halo games in the franchise…that speaks volumes over anything involving top 10 since right now less people are buying the game, less people are playing Halo 5 than any previous Halo game.

exactly my point, people who care about top ten really believe not have 2 million people on at all times, zapps their personal fun. i don’t buy halo because it’s popular, not back then, not now. i buy it because i myself, enjoy it. 2 thousand people on, five thousand people, or 20 thousand, untill that player count hit’s unplayable ghost town levels. i will keep enjoying my purchase.

And that’s where you and others differ. You only care about having fun (which is fine, that’s not meant to sound negative). The other people care about more than that, they care about franchise as a whole.

Actually I thought Halo Minecraft was the worst.

Technically it’s not even a Halo game, it’s more like a halo skin , and 8-bit skin at that. I know there’s a big 8-bit retro movement going on right now but I’m here to tell you the good games back were few and far between . It’s simply another marketing scheme.

So what about the setting? It’s still set in the halo universe.
