Hey there!
So far I stayed in the dark and didn’t write or say anything bad regarding Halo 5 (not that it would matter, but why did the choose to name it Guardians…redundant)
However after playing for a few hours there is one strong indicator that implies the game might have failed FOR ME. - After every other H5 Arena game i feel the will of immediately launching MCC and putting up some fine, balanced(!) H2A game.
Many things have been mentioned before, but one thing seems to be missing - the map design’s approach in Multiplayer looks weird. (Colours are off, whole atmosphere feels childish and cartoony.)
And by that I don’t mean the level design, the architecture of it itself but, sorry for saying it, Call of Duty-ish approach to multiplayer maps. Why da -Yoink- can I read “Dortmund” throughout this other map.
One thing that is so great about H2A for example is the flawless and abstract map design. Zenith, Shrine, Lockout…you name it.
Another unexpected thing is that the graphics are so -Yoinking!- bad considering they should be top notch. Sorry, but any H2A map looks way better than any H5 map.
Anyone?
