Games Halo 5: Guardians
1801

Spoiler Alerts…Ignore if you’ve not completed the campaign.

  • Campaign is one sided towards introducing their new characters rather than having a balanced focus (halo 2 managed this well enough) - Plot is paper thin with little to no development within the game…it’s all focused on the outside sources (If you need to research a game while your playing it to understand the story…YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING WRONG…and this is coming from a long time halo fan. - Too many maps that feel untested or unbalanced, - Needs more for matchmaking, playlists etc - fair enough to wait for forge but at least have maps and game types ready before you ship a game…it feels half finished

all in all IGN’s 9.0 rating seems too generous it’s a 5.5 - 6.0 at the most

H5 was a big disappointing game for me, I’ll start writing about the tihings I like, and then about the ones that I dislike.

Good:
1.- Campaign is interesting for me (I’ve played 4 missions so far and I dig it)
2.- When playing solo, your teammates are not a worthless and stupid crew that just gets killed every minute. It is easy to command them and they’re well responsive to your instructions.
3.- Graphics truly show it is a latest-gen game; it seemed like I got a new tv when I started playing, graphics are so good!
4.- No “luck based” multiplayer achievements. Thank god our prayers were heard! It was about time!

Bad:
1.- Very, VERY STUPID way to unlock weapons for Warzone. This whole REQ system is frustrating, annoying and infuriating! YOU CAN’T just say “oh I’m gonna use my points to buy this primary weapon” (DMR, Battle Rifle, variants of Assault Rifle, Light Rifle…), like you could do on H4, that was a good thing which is now out of the picture… thanks 343 for defecating on it.
Having to keep on buying REQ packs until you get lucky and get the desired card just by accident is f&%$ maddening. I have purchased god knows how many REQ packs (of all three types: gold, silver and bronze) and I still don’t have a DMR card! Instead, I did have like 80 mongooses, 20 warthogs, 50 needlers, and stuff like that I don’t ever use. I just want my bloody DMR!

2.- Low speed. On this matter, I remember reading here on Waypoint that 343 read about fans suggestions about the game after the beta was finished. And, as a result of that fan feedback H5 was going to have increased base speed… well, that was just a straight lie! H5 is SLOWER than H4, who knows? maybe is as slow as H3, I’m talking about how slow your Spartan walks in multiplayer, is pretty slow.
Also, the aiming speed is slow, on H4 I set my aim sensibility to 8 and have a blast with it. In H5 I set it to 10 and still is slow; ODST-slow, in order to have the same aiming speed maybe H5 needed to have a 14 or 15 speed/sensibility option.

3.- Low responsiveness. When playing multiplayer there are two situations that pisses me off: when I’m running and I get shot my Spartan ends running and starts walking, and when I press the button for sprinting again, it takes like a whole second for my Spartan to start running again. This is frustrating.
The second situation that needs fixing is when you switch weapons and want to zoom in (-Yoink- smart-link) with your latter weapon, it takes some time to be allowed to do so, this time needs to be reduced.

4.- No BTB

Thats about it. This game disappointed me. I think I’ll play it for the rest of this, its debut week, and then I’m done. Probably I’ll be back to playing in two months to see if anything has changed, I’ll play for one day and so on…
Go to hell 343, I deeply regret saving all that money for buying the H5 LE console. You could do one thing right at least and keep up servers for H4… I’m going back to my X360 for good.

1803

says i cant connect console to server, even tho my nat type is open and i reset my console and router. SOMEONE HELP ME I WANNA PLAY ME SOME HALO 5!!!

1804

There needs to be weapon balance, which I know will come. Assault rifle needs a little buff, pistol a little nerf, and a few tweaks here and there for other weapons. Other than that, my only complaint is a lack of vehicle based playlists, but I know that will change soon. Oh, and my only campaign complaint is that it was more of an “origin” type story just like Halo 4, where the focus was building up to the next game rather than making a big splash now. It wasn’t bad, just didn’t expect it right after Halo 4 did the same thing.

1805

I think something I would like to see is more map variety in arena and warzone. And I’m sure there will be add-ons but so far that’s my only problem.

1806

Lol at toxic communities.

AR needs a buff? I lost so many times to an AR because of ONE missed shot :confused:

1808

I doesn’t receive my Teishin Raikou armor :confused:

1809

It seems like I’m dying so much easier in Halo 5 than I was in other games, even if I get the drop on someone they turn around and shoot me and I die, is there some tweaks going to be made in the future.

You’ll receive it in November.

Halo 5 is a lot more fast-paced than any of the other Halos. The infinite Sprint along with Charge, Thrust, Clamber, Ground-Pound contribute to the fast-paced nature as well.

I don’t know but something about the yoink medal from reach was kinda funny from time to time, that would be cool if they brought that back. Made it awful hilarious when I caught a friend of mine assassinating someone to see me right around the corner waiting that shield to pop for a single bullet headshot lol. But so far the only real issue is the intellignence level of the npcs for team Osiris and master chief’s blue team. if there was more commands available to allow us to do a bit more with them, that would be nice. Also they are the worst with coming to heal you. Whyare they running full blown into the enemies???The matchmaking is pretty fast so I appreciate that coming from the slow mcc. As for the game modes. I have no issue with because ever since reach 343 has had multiple playlists that change from time to time. So i’ll be patient. Any true fan would have gone through the campaign first legendary solo anyways, right!? j/k.

1813

I’ve never gotten shot in the back and spawn killed (like literally back to back to back) so much in all my life of playing Halo (and I’ve played them all). Targeting is really wacky and I can’t seem to keep a steady bead on opponents anymore (dead zone issues). Also with the radar as it is, blind run and gun (and of course camping) tactics are what I’ve seen for the most part. You also seem to die much faster now.

Most of the matches I’ve played have at least one person quitting, leading to slaughter before even noticing we’re a man or two down. I try to stick it out because I hate to get a penalty because someone left, and there have been a good number of matches where it’s just two against a full team - you know the outcome…

I’ve always been a Halo fan, and decent player, but I must admit I don’t really know where my heart is at the moment for this one.

1814

I just want my radar boosted a bit and maybe shields upped by 10 - 15 percent.

1815

I’m just about done with H5. I’ll finish the campaign, but Warzone and their BS Pay to Win scam is the biggest detriment to the Halo franchise to date. I’ve bought every Halo game and DLC put out, but this seriously pisses me off. I want to be able to go into a match, with vehicles, and battle it out just like we could from day one. That just isn’t possible in the current state. I’ve leveled to nearly 20, and haven’t gotten a single certification, thus am sitting on mountains of Mongoose, and Needlers. On top of this, the maps are terribly designed, the spawns are atrocious, and the game modes are lame. Where are the traditional King of the Hill, Big Team Slayer, and Capture the Flag?

I have a great idea for the next Halo:

  • Little to no Master Chief in the campaign - Add a Random number generator for unlocking everything with a pool of 300 armor pieces, 200 emblems, 20 weapons, and 10 vehicles (1:16 odds for weapon/vehicle unlock that may not be useful <plasma pistol>) - Limit the maps, and pay a circus clown to design them - Build a Pay to Win system to leach more money from our customers/fans - Remove nearly all the traditional Multiplayer game modes and add some new untested/unproven ones - Not include a Firefight or Spartan Ops at launch so we can charge for it later - Remove split screen so we can sell more copies…wait, that’s what they delivered. What were they thinking?

In all seriousness, mechanically the game feels good, and it’s got potential. I’m royally pissed at the system for unlocking items in Warzone. I have notoriously horrible luck with these types of systems, and don’t understand why they felt the need to remove the standard loadout system we’ve used for a long time. You want us to grind for stuff, fine, but show us what needs to be done to get something. Remove the randomness for weapons and vehicles. Keep the Req System for armor, emblems, and even advanced weapons/vehicles, but not for standard weapons and vehicles.

On top of this, they built in a way to increase your odds by pumping real money in. This feels like i’m being bent over for more money on the heels of paying full price for a game that has nowhere near the same content that Halo 4 did.

VERY disappointed 343… I was a supporter after Halo 4 (yes i actually enjoyed that one), but you’ve lost me here.

LET US PLAY HALO, NOT SOME GIMPED VERSION OF IT!!!

You get it next month.

1817

No option to disable aim acceleration.

1818

Maybe I’m missing something, but is anyone else only able to access one game type in Arena? My only option is Slayer for the past two days.

And I agree with most of the issues that others are having.

> Yes, it does, most people have 10* as many kills with the pistol (a secondary) than the battle rifle, DMR, and especially assault rifle. it’s useless. I shouldn’t have to immediately switch to my pistol every time I spawn if I want to compete because the assault rifle is useless in every situation. The pistol was meant as a way to fight back against Battle rifles and DMR’s, instead it outclasses them and the AR

Respawn times are freaking ridiculous. 8 seconds for FFA!? Really!? Team Slayer is 5 seconds! Drop FFA to 5 and Slayer to 3 and there yah go. Also War zone is 10 seconds which should probabaly be 8. It’s annoying when you wait 10 seconds to respawn and bam you get spawn killed and gotta wait again. I also feel like the sensitivity is sort of sluggish. I play on 4 and it feels like 2 or 3. Also the lack of BR starts is kinda stupid. You say you want this to be a competitive Halo but start is ARs!?
