well after not playing for a week due to pax i decided to load up halo 5 to play with high hopes after reach, and halo 4. boy was I wrong.
Campaign is an official snore fest on legendary.
just set the bots to take out major foes while i camp in a corner like a b*tch and be a respawn station for them (basically how i speed rush with friends on co op). both reach and halo 3 had more complex campaign that made me EARN my victory even when playing it co op. this one i am breezing it solo with no real effort. and as a lol i decided not to hid ein corner and TRY to die. with all human weapons killing EVERYTHING so quickly i had no challenge. previous games a covvie elite would take a full clip to down shields and then a 2 second window for me to kill. this time its a few easy shots and it falls.
MP is a joke and a half and i am likely to pass this gen. Arena mode is the same 8 modes we have always seen since halo 1 and while some die hard fans may like they are old and stale to me. CSGO, COD, battlefield, ETC they all have these modes and have competitive ladders on them. no point repeating the competitive world for a game that will be replaced in a few short years.
warzone is ok in theory but end of the day its a direct rip of a battle field map and has no real playing advantage. giving everyone an AR? screw that 99% of matches people are too lazy/cheap to use REQ and get any good weapons on. it has basically ruined the look and feel of a halo game and become COD: Modern spam edition!
halo 3 and in my opinion Reach where best 2 in series for MP. they had epic firefight survival modes, great maps of both big and short amounts and made it feel like you were a walking tank. adding in halo 4 spartan ops mode and epic campaign mode and you had a great combination to make halo 5 a good story + good casual fighter for both the PVP and the survival market. WAY TO SCREW IT UP COMPLETELY 343!
