Lack of customization options. LOOK AT ALL THOSE ARMOR PIECES. It’s like teasing my eyes. T_T
There is a bug with navigating menus Because of this, I can’t get into any matchmaking game or forge.

The assault rifle has the highest time to kill???
My only problem with the game is the fact that I cannot choose my dedicated server region. Nothing is more frustrating than playing one game on a low ping European server and then playing the next game on a high ping American server.
There is no fairness in the Arena ranking system if you force players to play any of their matches on a server that is located on another continent.
It would be an outrage if European CS:GO players would be forced to play every third match on American servers against American players. Yet this is the reality for the European Halo 5 players.
Forge spawn glitch and empire that is all
The gameplay may have evolved but the community aspects that were bustling back in halo 4 have been having road blocks set up at every turn since halo MCC’s release. the main evidence of this is community forge and files sharing. it is heavily flawed and is something that can’t just be swept under the rug here…back in the days of Bungie.net Players could log in, view any ones profile/fileshares and download content with ease. Halo 4 had a somewhat similar system in that you could use tags, and other search filters, while not perfect was still ten times better than this. Now we have to be friends or have at least played them recently in a match just to be able to bookmark them so we can download a map. this to me is more of a step backwards down a hill in terms of the file share we had in halo 3. we can’t even search for maps on this site right now.
Secondly the armour cosmetics…why do we have to grind for packs that give us random drops that contain the same helmet with a different paint job as it’s only alteration…The Mark VI has 2 variations at the start and there is a noticeable difference between them. Lazy content creation is all I have to say there. I preferred Reach’s armoury over this and it was a pain back then. at least there a piece of armour shows your commitment and prowess in the game…here everything feels cheap and not worth the effort to get…especially for the afore mentioned reason of scraping for gold packs only to get the Athlon helmet for 4 times +. return the acquisition of armour and other cosmetics to completing specific achievements commendations etc.
Thirdly…Funding free dlc? Yet only 2 of the maps that came in the first update were actually newly programmed and the others were just forged. same with the BTB maps for that matter when they were first released. while I appreciate the time forgers spend making maps like should have been more of a new forge of the month package rather than put in with a 343 content update. now I’m not saying this is bad but I would have liked to have seen a little more from 343s programming and design side rather than simply picking forge maps.
forth…only one single social play list…for god sakes this should have been a day 1 thing. and there is still a lot of gametypes missing that I would really like to have come back. King of the hill, Oddball, assault, infection , Griff-ball and race are all still missing here. these have been key elements of the community and gameplay. Infection and race being more of the fun ones for mini-games of sorts. Ricochet was introduced and was a very interesting one to add to the roster of gametypes but yet we find it axed for no apparent reason. I understand you are trying to evolve the combat but unless you actually have these variants in the game, how are you supposed to test the full quality of the combat and whether it has been a step forward rather than a leap backwards. PLUS FIX THE DAMN MOTION TRACKERS…NOT EVERYONE IS MLG TRAINING.
Halo was a causal game in areas but could still hold the competitive side. this is heavily competitive sided and no room for new players is given. it’s a GO-PRO or GO HOME attitude with not much mind for the community as a whole. only elements are taken. now we have to assume that these can only get better…but I’d have appreciated a more well rounded game at launch rather than part of a work in progress.

Mhh yes,with all my love to 343i at least give us a hint ‘‘no players found on your region…worldwide searching in 5 sec’’
So we can leave and search in some others playlists…please don’t make your Euro fans suffer,let us decide if we want to play Worldwide or not.
Pff
fix the problem with quitters. Why do we have to play 3v4 or 2v4 this is just annoying for the experience. Back in H1 you can have a player sit out and make it 2v2 or 3v3.
The server region…needs to be fixed I should be able to choose.
The req i should be able to buy what I want or atleast not get the same crap twice.
The crowd funding should be redone as people had problem getting the equipment or armor.
The leveling cant be right. So in my session to get a level I lose 1 game out of 10 and my kd is good but yet get placed in platinum. How does this work. Seems unfair.
In multiplayer why no br start in arena and radar of off. That has always been the principle of halo why not keep it. Seperate the competitive and the social

Agree with the bold parts a lot.
Also I am starting to think the motion tracker should be increased as well. The gameplay is just too fast now I feel for the current motion track. Especially with being able to Spartan charge now.

> Arena just reset for a lot of players 343 dont care at all :V
You get your old rank or something close back after you are re-ranked.
1) Desperately needs a hardcore playlist or at least something with a BR/DMR start (and possibly NO SPRINT). This should be a given. The AR/Pistol start is just getting flat-out boring. In the Halo 5 championship are we really going to see the best of the best duke it out with assault rifles and pistols?? Come on 343…
2) Weapon balancing – or should I say “unbalancing”. The assault rifle needs to be nerfed AF. Not damage, but the range. Theres no way I should be threatened by an AR at medium to long range when I have a BR. Same goes for the pistol as well. Range on some weapons needs to be reduced drastically.
3)Motion sensors are HORRIBLE. They show players 5 feet in front of you and by then its too late
4) Being able to see your teammates/opponents prior to match starting a-la Halo 3. It was always fun “sizing up” your opponents before the match started and being able to talk some trash
5) The season platform for ranking is too often. Should be every 2 or 3 months – not 1. Since that resets every month, the only thing that stays is your spartan rank so its pretty much like going back to the dreaded Halo 4 ranking system. The 1-50 system in Halo 3 was near-perfect in my opinion – yes it had its flaws but nothing is perfect
6) Bad map design/quality and lack of variety. Empire/Eden and Truth/Regret are virtually the same map with minor differences…this is just pure laziness
There are so many things that could be improved, removed, added, tweaked and so on. But I will list my main concern only.
Selectable servers! Massive latency is killing the game for international players, but also for US players even though not to the same extent. If we could chose a server with good ping to which we connect, the gameplay experience would improve a great deal.
This is a beneficial solution for all players regardless of where you live. You can never have a fair and truly competetive game when you have players with 30-60ms versus players with 150-400ms ping!

Forge is online-only and locked behind Xbox Live Gold - The amount of quitters on this game is frickin insane - Next to no gametypesSo that’s three strikes already for 343. That didn’t take long at all. But wait, it’s not over!
-
No European servers - No split-screen - Confusing and overall lacklustre campaign, which also happens to be the only offline thing in this game.
I keep having this problem now with warzone it says loading inventory or something like that I can’t change my weapons or get a vehicle and its -Yoink!- me off it sucks when you have a magnum against a BR your outmatched someone tell me how to fix this or 343 be like bungie was listen to your fans and help them out with these problems
So far no obvious problems
NO SPLIT SCREEN
went to visit friends for the holidays, when we had down time we wanted to play video games. I hope 343 realizes they are forcing people to play other games because of the lack of split screen. I still can’t believe this game doesnt offer any split screen whatsoever. this is a huge disappointment. i really wish they would work to make split screen available. h2a had it, and it looked almost as good as halo 5 (the btb maps were WAY better).
In game lobby screen leaves a lot to be desired. No way to mute anyone before the game, which forces you to do so during gameplay. There is also no way to see who you are playing against in the game lobby. After game report excludes classic stats like “weapon of destruction” or simply allowing you to flip through your medals after a particular game. If i got 3 overkills in BTB i would love to check out what medals i received just to be sure. Theres many other things they left out i wish they would include.
How about the lack of any Oddball, KOTH, or bomb game types? these have been staples of halo, both for casual and competitive scenes alike. why did they exclude them? are they just holding out on us or are they not planning on including these game types anymore. I understand strongholds in the “new” objective game, but I’m getting really tired of it. not to mention when i play BTB lately it seems like BTstrongholds.
Lack of variety in playlists. This goes along with the lack of oddball and KOTH, but more specifically the number of playlists is just too low. Anyone who plays this game would agree there just isn’t enough variety to keep me coming back.
Lack of quality maps. 4 warzone maps? thats it? All forge BTB maps? I expected the same quality that H2A had, the BTB maps in that game were great (although too few). Now when i play guillotine i feel like I’m playing in a large insane asylum. brightly lit, smooth walls all around, very few colors, overall boring. BTB and warzone suffer the most because there are so few maps it can be very repetitive.
I have nothing bad to say about this game, other then the fact that when I want to play the Swat playlist all I play is Swatnums, which is cool but I’m about to be rank 20 And yet to weld a DMR or Battle Rifle in the Swat playlist at all.
No variations on swat playlists beyond magnums, when you have the DMR, Lightrifle and Carbine to make modes out of… They don’t allow us to use a weapon names a Designated Marksman Rifle, in a gametype where headshots are the only way to kill effectively…

You won’t hold a DMR, Lightrifle, or Carbine in that playlists, only BRs, which is really unfortunate.
terrible BTB maps.
lack of variety. arena now has 6 total playlists. 6 is half of what i expect, this is ridiculous.
all vehicles seem to weigh about 50 pounds, and they fly in every direction with the smallest bump in the road. attempting to splatter a spartan can often cause your vehicle to fly into the air. vehicles are worthless in this game. (oh and the mongoose does not need explosive rounds)
in game lobby is terrible. after action report also robbed of key features halo was known for.
no KOTH or oddball varieties (bomb also)
lack of real quit/betray penalties.
