I think I may get more out of the new COD coming out. At this point, I trust Treyarch more than 343.

I’ve got this issue too, also commendations not working.
Is there any chance at all of 343i just letting Reed go? I’ve never seen any of his stories for Halo have a positive reception from the majority of people, yet they for some inexplicable reason let him write for a primary title. How the hell does that make sense? Seriously, I need some sortuv disclosure on the process here.
I’m with everyone else on needing split-screen. Customization is lacking but not just terrible. Also the randomness of Requisition(REQ) Packs is annoying me like destiny’s loot roll did I have bad luck with stuff like that, didn’t even get anything good out of the 2 gold packs i bought pretty much the same stuff i got in the silver and bronze, my brother has gotten pretty good stuff out of them but i’m having no luck with that. (Note: 7P Yausta Company is recruiting anyone)
I can’t play multiplayer. I keep getting error authorizing user
Yeah, I have a legitimate problem. I can’t play any matchmaking playlists. When I search for a game I get matched up with other people and when I get to step four in the queue or lobby I am kicked back to the matchmaking playlist screen. I’ve already reinstalled the game, checked my Nat and hard reset my console. And I haven’t heard of anybody having the same problem as me. I bought the H5G Xbox console, spending over $500 on the game and have played one arena match. This is a problem.
Im quite dissapointed about Matchmaking.
Graphics - First of all - Halo 5 was announced with such a glory about graphics solutions, what was the reason for removing splitscreen, as 343i said. If this is true, then someone can tell me, why multiplayer maps are such ugly, grey and boring. Almost no textures, only gray walls with some stripes or one colored. The second thing is that there I can see polygons on shape of the wall or some columns, antenas, etc… Its just squary as older games. FPS - I really didnt notice the difference beetween H5 and H4, or H3 in MCC. Are there realy 60fps? And is this realy neccesary for me, as player? I dont have this feeling and I dont believe statements of 343i about all of this. Simply because there is not that “wow” feeling about something new. I thought there will be great maps with magnificient look. All I got is desribed above. This is not realy what I expected after all of those confident statements. I feel abusive here.
REQs - ehm… bored again. There is no such a specific point, when I can know if and when I will recieve “this helmet, this weapon skin, this armor…”. All is about some piece of fortune, when I have to buy REQ bundles. I dont like this. Totaly.
Gametypes - are there so few maps or system is choosing only few maps to play? If I can tell that I play every plalist mostly on 2-3 maps, I tell the truth. Its very very stereotyped. The second thing is that in SWAT, there is huge focus for pistols gametype. Why did I play this morning 5 or 6 games in a row with pistols? Where is some mix?
Voting - voting system about gametypes and maps is gone and again it is nothing to applaud. Impossibility to affect what we will play is annoying.
Starting weapons - AR is ok. But I realy hate pistol. Just give us back DMR and/or BR!!! Pistol is such a boring.
Sounds - if I compare it with Halo 3 (mabye 4), Halo 5 has more worse sounds. Big dissapointment here!!!
Maybe its not all, what is pis.sing me off on Halo 5, but these things are the most important for me.
In total - Im dissapointed about Halo 5. We were told about so huge things and what we (I) got is just redicolous and I feel cheated by 343i in some ways. Halo 5 is no Halo game anymore. Halo feeling is gone, we play CoD in armors of Halo look, but thats all.

343 REMOVES more than they put in to a game.
There’s a great deal of things that just don’t make sense (or just guesses) even with extensive knowledge of the lore.
-How does Halsey know about Cortana? I’m guessing that it will be explained when the comic finishes up next month. Which shouldn’t be the case.
-Why is Palmer suddenly ok with Halsey. In Spartan Ops and the comics Palmer has a deep seeded hatred for Halsey. Which seems to be gone now. Again guessing the comic will clear that up.
-The reaction Roland has when he finds out Cortana is still alive. I’m guessing it has to do with the trail he and Black Box put on for Iona (I think that’s her name). But the next timewe see Roland his additude has changed, with no explanation given. Did they explain to Roland what Cortana is doing? Did he figure it out himself?
-How did Cortana access anything from the Domain. The Forerunner books told us that the links to access the Domain were destroyed when the Halos fired. Guessing that’s still the case how can she communicate with anything.
-Why didn’t Roland defect with the other AIs. Like I stated earlier he was upset that Halsey was throwing Cortana “out the airlock”. Guessing…what reasons?
-Why is the Infinity so important. Is it because it’s made with Forerunner tech? Is it because Cortana assumes that’s where Halsey is? Is it because Roland didn’t join her? It’s all just guesses.
-Whats with the Warden Eternal? He isn’t explained very well and all he does is monolog like a Bond villain.
-How did Blue Team and Osiris get off the Builder world and to the the Elite home world? Guessing the Monitor teleported them off because Pelicans are not rated for slip-space.
Now I’m not saying everything needs to be spoon fed to us. However in depth knowledge of the lore should not be required to understand the game. The EU is supposed to supplement and expand the games. Not be required to understand it.
The game explained nothing. Some cut scenes seemed like they ended in mid-conversation (like when Roland finds out Cortana is still alive). Others are just poorly done/don’t make any sense (like when the Hunters knock Chief off of the walkway and then you see him walking on that rock world, having never seemed to have fallen). The entire story feels chopped up. The majority of the plot can only be explained by guessing. That doesn’t make for good storytelling.
My multiplayer games aren’t registering (says can’t retrieve data), commendations aren’t working either, even in campaign. Argh, no point play mp until they fix it. Apologies if I’m double posting but my last post didn’t show up.
Not happy with the functionality and complexity of navigation throughout the game. Navigating through the game to select a certain thing should be simple quick and easy. I shouldn’t have to look up to youtube how to find something bc the navigation is so complicated.
Can’t play any Multiplayer related gamemode because a member of my Fireteam (I’m not in a Fireteam) is unable to connect to the server. I’m connected and online, my NAT is open and other online games work perfectly fine.

> I’ve played for 16 hours and still haven’t un locked a visor, stance, or assassination… that feels like a problem.
Yeah tell me about it I’ve opened 25+ gold packs and nothing but uncommon armor & certifications are all that I’m getting.
No stances, assassinations or visors yet…

Dear 343,
As a big Halo fan, nay massive, I would just like to say I felt a bit underwhelmed this time around. Don’t get me wrong, it’s probably my own fault for getting too excited about this game and having my expectations at unreasonable levels. However I would just like to voice my opinion on the Campaign which has and always will be my favourite part about Halo. (Also because it seems like no one else is, solely focusing on the multiplayer)
Unfortunately I really felt like you didn’t give the Campaign any love at all, instead focusing on the multiplayer. There were amazing parts, like the action cutscenes and graphical prowess of the full cutscenes. However after the emotional roller coaster of Halo 4 (In a good way) this game felt, to put it bluntly, half–Yoinked!-. The story itself was great but the execution of this story-telling left much to be desired.
There were so many bugs; corpses floating around, enemies stuck standing up after dying, checkpoints not occurring when they are supposed to, and the worst of all was falling out of the gameworld numerous times. Was 90% of the QA Department on multiplayer?
I wanted to try and help by reporting these but 343 has no where but forums to do such things and I didn’t want to post all of these online for the world to see and therefore take that to be the entirety of it all because at the end of the day the Halo games are still my favourite and I still did love it, despite how this message may sound.
So basically, yes, this was just a rant, but mainly I just would like to know is there a place to report these bugs so I can help to iron this game out. Is there a facebook page where I can post the videos to?
Thanks for your time and patience reading this, which seems to have gone on for longer than I had planned… sorry. But I look forward to hearing back from you.

I bought the digital deluxe edition and was supposed to get the 14 premium requisition packs, but only ever got the 2 for the weekly.
It seems you can be spawned trapped to easily in any game mode.
Multiplayer feels like having gone backwards 5 years. As opposed to the smooth playing of Destiny, cod etc this feels like walkingnround in doom. And the inconsistencies in multiplayer are just unbelievable. I’ve had it where I’ve killed someone with like 4 shots of a magnum. And then I’ve had players walk away from three br rounds, a grenade and a melee. Not really understanding what the damage work out is yet? Don’t think 343 have either

like i was saying in my post pg 78, middle section, map design is total garbage.
I wonder if 343 actually pay attention to their forums… Just a thought considering I haven’t heard anything from them on these matters
