Kinda Disappointed.

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

The Memories of Reach update was… not what I was expecting.

  • Close to half of the new REQs are just weapon skins. (O__nes that were already previously available might I add.)
  • We aren’t getting more gamemodes beside Infection
  • This update is coming out on the second week of May
  • A remixed map of Torque that literally looks the exact same but with ice everywhere
  • Not a single Halo Reach map
  • More variants of things we have
  • etc.

Now before anyone tries to crucify me, remember that the title says “Kinda Disappointed,” meaning that I’m not entirely let down by the update.
I’m excited for Infection (obviously), that Brute plasma rifle was also sweet looking, of course the Armor looks nice, and I am wishing on everything that the ONI card is hiding a Falcon REQ. Also hopefully they add the File Browser in game with this update too. And yay post medals.

Even so, I am pretty underwhelmed with this update. I was really hoping that they would add other classic Halo modes, like Juggernaut, One Bomb/CTF, King of the Hill, V.I.P., Stockpile, Headhunter, or literally just anything else besides only Infection. It really is a let down man. I was really wishing that this update would be neck deep in content, but that is just expecting too much. I’m starting to doubt if Halo 5 will ever be a complete Halo game.

P.S. Are we ever going to get a damn Forge World 2.0? Cmon man.

To be fair I think it was safe to assume this update would be a let down, people were expecting reach maps, falcons, armours, weapons and gamemodes, when the heck has 343 made an update remotely as cool as that? No everyone should realise by now that whatever your expecting from 343 what you get will be less.

Wait, the flaming emile armor that was seen in firefight, where is it?

Not to mention they got Emile’s armor wrong, and all of Noble Team’s armor is of the Mythic variety, so most of us won’t even be able to unlock it unless 343i decides to make the armor tied to achievements in Halo: Reach rather than have them in normal REQ packs.

That would be nice; having a few sets of armor that can be unlocked through Achievements rather than RNG.

To be honest the only disappointing things in this update is the lack of reach themed reqs and the lack of reach maps, other than that, this is the best update by far.
