How short the actual “hunt” was and the missed opportunities to make it as epic as the marketing campaign. That cutscene where Osiris catches up with and chases Blue team in that lava chamber, jumping across those platforms and through those light portals–why wasn’t that expanded and made into a playable mission?? The setting and situational conflict were perfect for a tense Osiris gameplay hunt. Some kind of countdown-based mission, where you have to hurry and chase Blue Team or else the platform underneath you falls into lava, or the cavern collapses on top of you. Or even an unprecedented-in-Halo puzzle-based mission, trying to figure out which light portal goes where and which to take in order to get close to Blue Team. I usually love watching cutscenes, but during that one, I was just like…can’t I play that? And then finish with the cutscene of the Locke-Chief showdown.
Replace all those ridiculous 2-minute walk-and-talk missions with what you marketed: a hunt.
I also have a problems with halo 5… I have waited so long for halo 5 and I finally get it.(I live in an area with no internet and you cat get internet from anyone from 196 acres) so I go to a friends house and get the longest update of 9 gigs and then come home with no internet and I can’t play custome games or anything so that sends me over the edge of being p.o.d. I really want this fixed or I’m gonna just have to find games to replace halo 5 which is the game I started since 5… So yeah thanks 343 studios… Thanks…

I’m dearly missing split screen, which is my biggest issue. So far, the campaign hasn’t seemed to be so epically massive that it justifies losing split screen. I’m fact a lot of the levels feel claustrophobic when compared to campaign levels in older Halo games.
Also the weapons are way to precise. It completely eliminates the need to sneak in close on enemies and choose your weapons wisely.

The story is fine, it’s just there’s no actual ending. No closure what so ever…rather, it feels like the game had just finally hit a climax and then just sighed. Like letting the air out of a balloon.
The new incompetent community it has created/attracted.
And the fact that said community will now be 343i’s main target audience, instead of Halo fans who actually enjoyed Halo for what it was before it began “modernizing”.
I for one would just like to know how awful players are getting into onyx. Especially when i carry my team in team swat 8 out of 10 games, also winning those 8, and get placed in platinum while a low skilled player scoring the least amount of kills and getting carried can get into onyx! I mean yea wins should have something to do with where you rank but your performance in how you do in those games should count towards where you place as well! I played with my friend and he came in last just about every game and got placed higher than i did because me and a couple other friends carried him through his promos. What exactly is this bs? Like really?

So far the grenade radius is ridiculous and the spawning is just bad. The radar needs to slightly expanded too. I am enjoying the game though.
My Halo 5 freezes when I boot up the campaign, I have restarted it multiple times and re-down loaded it 3 times. The multiplayer is also bugged for me I can’t hear the music while I’m playing. If anyone is having the same problem please let me know and help me out thanks.

I had this happen to me with Destiny, and then my Xbox died on me. Hopefully the same doesn’t happen to you.

In multiplayer does your game close down as well? Because I’m having that issue and I can’t even play the game it’s making me angry
I don’t know if its been talked about earlier in this thread but some of my main concerns are the 3 headshot kill with alot of guns, little radar, and spawning time.
Halo has been about skill where if you shoot first you may or may not win the battle, but with this 3 headshot weapon kill its extremly difficult to actually use any skill like jump shooting or crouch shooting with out being killed so easily. we are playing as spartans! why the hell do spartans die so easily! we are supposed to protect humanity not expendable spartan 3’s
Radar is my personal biggest issue. Like anyone whos played the game at a more stealthy approach and loves to look at the activty on thee radar we all will complain on how little the radar is. 18m is certainly not enough 25m was pretty balanced honestly, and if anything the radar should be 30 if its faster paced, but 25 is the sweet spot and it should stay there. I cant tell you how people assassinated me because the thrustered into me and hit me without me noticing the on my radar. oh and doees anyone have any issues that sometimes if people shoot it wont show on the radar until 2 seconds later?
Fastest halo ever… it certainly is. fastest halo to die in and wait 7 seconds to spawn. personally the sweet spot there is 4-5 seconds. the games are short and it takes 7 seconds to spawn really? only time it should taake 7 seconds to sawn if you betrayed someone or suicide. thats it.
that’s just my rant for the multiplayer, campaign is awesome! ERHMAGERD!! I was too lazy to do it on legendary but Jesus THAT LEGENDARY ENDING THO!!!

Loving the little I’ve played so far, don’t own the game myself but family has been kind enough to let me play a few matches.
What I really dislike so far is the amount of times you get bloody magnums in Swat. I’m okay with magnums, not the best, but I’m not even ranked yet and I’m fighting people who are onyx ranked already.
