List all your Problems with Halo 5 Here!

Poor spawn points in both Arena and Warzone.
No recoil on anything.
No option to start with plasmas in Warzone.
Arena is catered towards MLG and nobody else.
No game mode that non MLG players can enter to have fun aside from Warzone.

THANK YOU 343 FOR THIS AWESOME LAG IN YOUR SERVERS IM LITERALLY GETTING KICKED OUT FROM THE GAME 3X DUE OF LAG!!! THANKS!!!

Everything is OK. I just need good teammates and more luck because I’m stuck with the same starter weapon and I only last few seconds with the BR and DMR. I just need to get used to halo again because I suck so much than compared to Halo 3, reach, and Halo 4. But so far multiplayer is awesome and fun.

Halo 5’s Ads Lied to You

halo 5 multi player could have been quite amazing and it is but…i cannot be the only one that notices the unexcusable lack in vairety of maps. like slayer i will literally get the same map 3 times in a row. same for swat, which is actually worse because i will get the same map and say pistol swat 3 or 4 games in a row. and i know its not just me cause ive been party leader and this has happened and i have also let a friend be the party leader and the same thing happens. i think for slayer there is a total of 6 maps. are you freaking kidding me. and i think altogether it shipped with a total of 9 maps. and the only way you can actually play those 9 maps with some variety is if you play team arena which not everyone wants to do in order to feel some type of variety. so basically each game playlist is limited to a very underwhelming amount of maps. like im a huge halo fan ive bought every halo since halo 2 and i am someone who actually really really enjoyed halo 4 but all of those games had a ton of map vareity which made things feel way more fun and intersting and non repetitive. there is no way i can be the only one that thinks this. comment and let me know what you think. also there is barely any playlist compared to the previous halo games. and also does anyone know when they are going to be releasing new dlc maps cause they sure as -Yoink- need them. long story short, amazing muliplayer that is very corrupted by a lack of map variety and repetitiveness

> First off I would like to say Hi to the community.
>
> This topic is about how the Halo 5 : Ranking System is broken. I have logged over 10+ hr on halo 5 multiplayer and talked to a lot of other players in the community about how I feel and they feel about the Ranking System and it brokeness.
>
> Lets look at facts. From what I understand about the ranking system is that you need to look up your status and over all rank in Halo Waypoint. If you dont know how it wroks then please go there and look up your own status and follow along. There is your K/D stats.The emblem off to the left of your K/D is your RANK stats that show after your 10 games of playing.Then there’s your SR rating (equivalently to your lv in multiplayer.) The ranks go in this order “Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Onyx, and Champion.”
>
> So now we know the rank progression. lets look at how we Rank UP. Note; not LV UP like SR rating. You Rank up on if your team wins or not.That is how you are personal judge on whether you win or lose your rank. How I know that this is true is because I watched my Rank lv go up and down from wins to loses.That will be the blue ring that moves up or down when you win or lose. Please look after all games it will change from half a bubble or little more if your team won. Note it might cange from Slayer to any other game mode. If your ring is 1/2 of the way and lose then it will go to 1/10 of the ring but you will not lose your rank if you lose again then it will. If it is the frist time your are in that rank then you wont at 1/10 of the ring . If you are 1/4 or higher. If you win your ring will go to 3/4 but it might be different from rank lv to rank lv. Also wanted to tell you if you leave a game for any reson. You will lose all the way down to 1/10 unless your there already. So now you know how the ranking system works.
>
> My View point about ranking system and how I think the 343 team FAILED and OVER LOOKED THIS or does not CARE:
>
> First off all players in any multiplayer wants to know their PERSONAL RANK.Not the teams.The team at 343 should of learned their lesson about how players like to advance in multiplayer from their big YES big mess up in Halo 4. Buy the Deluxe edition you get 1 month to pass all the poor people up.(sounds like a total way to scam money from the community.Mabye not a month but pretty close to it.) Yes 343 I remember it still to this day and will not forget. Now you want to rank me with others,so I have to pull their weight to, AKA (Piggy Backing). Thats not fair to the other players. FAIL FAIL FAIL . I know I am not the best player in any way shape or form. But I know how ranking should work and the way you have put it in this game was a fail. But it is not just a fail in my book but a EPIC FAIL.So this is my feelings about this broken ranking system of your.If I was the person in charge of this it would be my first priority. I dont want to just focus on the bad about the system but there is nothing good about it so fix it.

Your ranks are your personal ranks. They go up an down depending on team performance. Basically if they were individual you could grab 4 Iron players and play against Onyx players and be at the top and still rank up. Seems like a way to cheat the system to me. The way it is now promotes teamwork. If an Onyx team can carry an Iron player and win then they would be rewarded. If they lose they should lose points no matter how good they did compared to the other people on their team. Also if individual ranks return expect to see a lot more team killing. Halo Reach had an individual rank and people would purposely kill their team for power weapons to get into Onyx since you needed a certain average score. I would rather not have team killers back. Wins and loses is how it should be based not off of individual performance.

One issue i have besides the lack of map options is that i havnt recieved that special armor you get when you play before nov 7. Does anyone know how that works?

I agree. There needs to be an Action Sack gamemode and a Social Slayer gamemode at the bare minimum.

*Original post. Click at your own discretion.

  1. no organised large team gameplay (warzone is ANYTHING but organised and has to many players, a individuals ability to excell in warzone is only possible with the use of a force multiplier, and even then they cannot overcome weight og numbers.
  2. incomplete story, begining, middle, end, all storys should have these three things, halo 5’s begining is incredibly weak, and it has no ending, it’s literally left on a massive cliffhanger.
    3.aim assist- the switch to heavy BULLET magnitism as the primary vehicle of aim assist is a jarring and sudden change (aim assist is broken into two parts, bullet magnetism, and reticle magnetism, reticle magnetism is how sticky the aim reticle is to enemy players, bullet magnetism is how far will bullets actually CURVE away from your reticle to hit your target) past halos used a balance of both, but was more heavily weighted towards reticle magnetism, this made the gunplay feel fluid, and RESPONSIVE, halo 5 is weighted towards bullet magnetism instead, while more accurate and less prone to over magnetisation (aka your reticle moves to track a mobile target near the stationary target your shooting at causing you to miss) it has a jarring impact on the perceived gunplay, players will often sweep past their target because reticle magnetism doesn’t take hold, but their BULLETS will still hit the target even though they were no longer correctly aim. leading to weird kills, that feel weird to teh player. it’s hard to explain, i probly butchered it.
  3. MP map design, arena maps are mutliple VARIATIONS of the same map set, and design wise are lackluster, usually restricted to tight corridors and constant poor line of site kill zones.
  4. vehicle controls-humans- human wheel vehicles are incredibly LIGHT by the physics engine, able to flip over at the slightest bump, and near uncontrollable at full speed, (again, they “float” when they hit a bump which increase the likelihood of a flip) tracks vehicles on the other hand have a wonky control scheme because acceleration deceleration is based on the guns aimed direction and NOT the staticdirection of the tracks (aka, accelleration in a tank should always move teh tank FORWARD, in relation to its tracks and NOT it’s gun) this makes the tank very unweildy when it needs to turn around.
  5. lack of meaningful reward system, customisation options, armours, even bloody EMBLEMS are all “earned” though the RNG that is req packs, there are ZERO meaningful rewards for completeling a complicated or difficult challenge, it’s all based on luck…which is a pretty big problem in and by itself. (seriously all i want is nucleus emblem, is that so difficult)
    7.lack of playlists upon release this is self descriptive, h5 release with what, 6 total playlists?, 4 of whichs are focuses on 4v4, 2 are focus on 12v12
    8 visual fidelity, beyond the issues of teh over saturated world of the game (so damn bright) we have issues with the frame rate of animations at a distance, namely several frames are cut from teh animation as you get further away, leading to what looks like a choppy, time skipping animation, furthermore, the use of texxture “popping” in is also rather poorly used executed, leading to the game looking blurry at distance, which is directly counter it’s goal of 1080 resolution. (fun fact, from a gameplay perspective, 60 fps offers ZERO advantage of 30fps, it just looks better, this has to do with the human response time, human response time for visual stimuli is around .25 of a second, so the slight difference of having something a additional frame ever 0.01 of a second apposed to 0.02 is non existent.
    i have several more complaints, but that my list for now.

The Req system relays on too much luck, I must have open 10+ packs of different color now and I still don’t have any new Spartan helmets other than the ones people start off with. I really don’t want my 23rd rail gun card…I just want the helmet that goes with my armor…Why can’t we get the option to buy specific armor pieces with the Req points like the CR system in Reach?

Multiplayer:
Req System
No Big Team Battle
No Firefight

Single Player:
Story is way too short
Cortana is the bad guy??? (I just don’t like it, that’s just my opinion feel free to disagree)
The main character of Halo (Master Chef) became a secondary character in a Halo game with 3 missions.
Master Chef did not punch Dr Catherine Halsey in the face given the horrible things she done to him and the rest of the spartan II kids (this might be wishful thinking)
As I never read the extra books and comics none of the outcomes for characters in Halo 4 were explained like what happen to the Librarian? Or why did none of the other digitized Forerunners take over? Why is the Forerunner army made of one general and no other freethinking soldiers? If the Forerunners had these Guardians around why did they not use them in the war with the flood? Why was Exuberant so courageous when she knows that Cortana has control of Guardians that are so powerful that one can police an entire solar system by itself. Is Exuberant not afraid that Cortana can’t exit slipstream early and go back and destroy the installation. Hell what is stopping Cortana from doing a 180 and coming back to recapture the Master Chef?

Can y’all just shut up on what you think is so bad about halo and just look at the positive side? If not stop waisting your precious life if you even have one and return the game or stop playing it I think it’s cool given that I have a bug imagination I can simply create a spartan company we all go take over one game and boom my imaginary dream of restoring other SPARTANS with my squad becomes a good feeling like come on halo 5 is not that bad get a grip

My problems with the game…
Campaign:

  • Too short - Didn’t seem to fit the commercials at all - Cortana CAN’T be the villain!Multiplayer:

  • Needs bigger maps (which I know are on the way) - Need more Maps (which I know are on the way) - I need more time off work so I can play Halo 5!I do love this game and can’t wait to see all the updates and DLC!

How are supposed to improve the game if we don’t talk about what we think is bad?

I just want to play capture the flag. Its kind of lame there are times where it doesn’t even come up to play. Now I have to keep leaving matches until I get the mode I want to play. It’s really annoying. Why can’t I just que for CTF…

edit: oh…Add optional matchmaking for the campaign. I really don’t understand why we don’t have it. Make it optional so people don’t have to use it, but people like me who just want to jump into a game (or jump into mine) can use it…

So, I got the halo 5 xbox one. But when I go to put in the fotus code it says “Try the code again
We couldn’t find the code you entered. Check the code and then try entering it again.” I’ve triple checked each input and it still isnt working,

  1. More playlists (Team Doubles,Hardcore/MLG,BTB)
  2. More Maps (feel like i get the same 3)
  3. Nerf Assault Rifles range!
  4. Please fix the broken Lobby, its like you tried making the most unintuitive GUI…seriously
  5. Can I know what my friends are doing from the in-game friends list? Why are we going backwards…Halo 2! Halo 2! Had this…

Overall…I think its a great game, but CoD is coming out soon, step it up.

All of the people complaining about it

Damn thing was only 15 missions long. Also; its a little annoying that it takes so long to get REQ points and packs.
