so not taking things such as quality of the campaign multiplayer balance amour and map design which can be relegated to nothing more than “opinion status” into consideration
H5 was the following things
-shortest halo campaign of all time
-had the least amount of content of any halo of all time (save the mobile games)
-the least purchased halo of all time
(save the moblie games)
-had the fasted drop in population of all time
(even faster than H4
I think it’s joint worst with halo 4, different reasons but overall they tally almost indentical with my inner disappointment meter.
Multiplayer in 5 is great for the most part I agree, however the game has no appeal to casual audiences, it’s lacking content that is being drip fed back to us.
if you compare halo 5 launch to halo 5 now not that much has really changed, few extra maps to add to the pitiful total, gametypes and modes that should have been present at/close from launch.
It’s just disappointing more than anything. I like the game, but I can’t play it for too many days in a row.
I really could write a massive essay about the evolution of games mechanics and sprint-gate, I can get really into this if I tried but tbh, the fire to even complain is extinguished with this halo, it’s like every game they release we just cross our fingers for the next one to just get let down again and lose another chunk of fanbase.
From a gameplay perspective 4 is the worst and 5 is among the best halo games. Yes halo 5 does have the worst campaign but it compensates for that with a great multiplayer experience.
i think reach is the worst halo. but i only care about multiplayer. ill agree reach had better customization than 5, but that really doesnt matter much to me. having a cool looking barbie doll didnt make armor abilities or bloom go away. and as far as campaign goes halo campaign ended with 3 for me. everything after i havent bothered with.
halo 5 isnt nearly as good as 2-3, but it sure is a lot better than reach and 4
Halo 5 is my 2nd favourite after Reach… Kill me because of that… just my personal opinion I am still playing it every day. It became some kind of ritual to play 1h of Halo 5 in the evening

> > Only thing bad to me is the fact that there are only two customization pieces head and armor and that you have to unlock emblems and the fact that the rating is T for Teen I never expected Halo to become less violent and the fact that it seems dumbed down and has scrapped content no split screen and or offline mode…as well as the fact that I would like to use the forerunner weaponry on the flood…Other than that the game was pretty cool I liked it. 8.5/10 I really enjoyed the multiplayer forge was great too…But the REQ system makes me realize that the game is flawed in a major way and so much more can be done with the game capability wise. I also want to see more studio maps medium and large for objective game types old maps etc…and the fact that the assault bomb is not explosive or destructive sucks as well as no thick human blood on the maps or grungy dirtiness etc…I also miss older game types every game type from the original trilogy + Reach , and 4…I feel like 343i has dumbed down the series as they did with TMCC and it is lacking in some ways but it is still really fun to play.

> You are entitled to your opinion but to me H5 is better than Reach. #1 armor customization isn’t important to me because who really cares? I can’t see my character unless on a turret and never once have I looked at some one else’s armor and was like wow I want that. #2. I actually enjoyed H5 campaign more so than Reach. Sure the advertising and build up didn’t match the H5 campaign but at least the AI was a bit better than Reach had. Kat would just drive you off a cliff or straight into a wall for no apparent reason. #3 Reach was just way to casual game play in the multiplayer and armor lock is still worse than Spartan charge. H3 was a bit better than H5 but mainly due to the more diverse multiplayer maps and more game modes, better match making and rank structure… also it had action sack.

For me Halo 5 campaign was absolute garbage compared to every other halo game, multiplayer is good in general but the lack of variety in the design as well as the amount of maps and playlists is disappointing. The missing launch content and features like PGCR and Forge don’t make it much better. The general art style is ok i think but not really what i would think of when i think of halo like art design. Armors and customization are not good, too many crappy armors and the amount of armors is essentially 1/3 if you disregard the different paint job the armors and helmets get with each level of rarity. Warzone is fun but lack of maps and variety do their part here as well, Arena is fine if you disregard the lack of maps and playlists. The gameplay itself is stil not completely clear to me, because i do favor higher base movement speed over sprint and spartan abilites and i still haven’t found a sensitvity setting that really feels good. What i definetly don’t like is bullet magnetism vs aim assist in H5, previous games would rather use increased aim assist over bullet magnetism and i support that decision, sometimes i don’t know how i supposedly hit my enemy when i clearly didn’t aim correctly and this really bugs me , gives me the feeling of not being able to control my shots properly and i don’t like that.
Overall Halo 5 deserves it’s last place in my list despite good gameplay because of the utterly bad campaign, crappy launch content, microtransactions and poor/really lazy map design
I know they added a lot of the stuff we wanted later but that doesn’t excuse launching a halo title in such an unfinished state
Doesnt mean it’s crap. My biggest hate is removal of armour ability and being giving just the thruster pack and I feel like I’m being told to play it one way. The thruster isn’t as good as it was at evading in halo 4 downward thrust was a big deal.
Halo 4 was the worst, multiplayer speaking.
Halo Reach was the worst, ability speaking. Armor lock, jetpack… Seriously, the n00b-friendliest Halo game ever. And Halo 5 is very n00b-friendly as well… They should remove all abilities like spartan charge, ground pound, etc.
