Marginal difference between Halo 4 and 5

343 has spent tons of hours and money making a game that is almost identical to its predecessor, Halo 4.

The only differences I see are clamber, new maps (which aren’t that good), and new crappy weapons like the Hydra.

I will give H5 one thing, the whole shields won’t recharge while you’re sprinting is pretty solid. Other than that, this game is kinda lame. I wish they would have just kept building off of H2A because it is a really great game and could be even better with more support of more content.

I don’t think 5 is amazing but its miles better than 4. removing the stupid spawn whatever you want and perks thing is the best thing ever. I was so sick of everyone spawning with plasma nades and plasma pistol.

Troll bait.
H5B was a completely different animal.

Spawns system
Weapon spawns,
Weapon balance
movement
Spartan abilities,
balancing
Etc
etc

Halo 5 is closer to Halo 2 then Halo 5 is to Halo 4

Yes, becuase Halo 2 to Halo 3 was so different and innovative…

I sense sarcasm…

It’s not like Halo 3 introduced forge and theatre mode to the Halo franchise or anything…

dude, H5 is comepletely new, it has almost nothing to do with H4 (just the best side of it I guess, that is’nt that much though - I actually like H4)

Wtf kind of drugs are you smokin 4 and 5 are nothing alike hell even sprint is different…

>Has literally none of the outstanding blemishes Halo 4 had.
>The only returning feature from Halo 4–sprint–has been balanced out
>says it’s identical to Halo 4.

10/10 would read again.

Forge was first introduced by Bungie in Marathon back in the 90’s, and theater mode is just taking something PC games have always had. The only truly innovative thing Halo ever did were the core mechanics of Halo CE, and somewhat matchmaking (PC games had that too). Everything else after that was riding on Halo CE’s coat tails. New to the franchise=/=new.

Now it’s my opinion that that is a stupid argument because there’s no such thing as entirely new ideas anymore in AAA gaming, but that’s the logic too many 343i haters use. By their own logic, Halo stopped innovating after Halo CE, so Halo CE is the only good Halo.

I’ve gotta say that I think halo 5 is very different. Not only in the features that everyone has already listed, but in terms of the way it looks. It also plays very differently. The Spartans just feel different. In a good way.

I said innovative to Halo, not Marathon and other PC games. There’s also a difference between innovation and evolution. CE-3 made innovations to Halo. Reach-4 and now 5 made some innovation, but also made evolutions to Halo.

I agree with you. That’s why I was saying I felt it was a stupid argument to try and say that Halo never innovates anymore; some people honestly do think that Halo 1-3 were super innovative but Halo Reach-5 are just copying other games. I was merely pointing out that all of the games have done their fair share of copying while innovating those ideas they take.
