Ironically it’s not 343i’s fault it’s just the players. First I’d like to say the blind fanboyism ignoring some of the problems is annoying but not what has ruined Halo 5 for me it’s the quitters, AFKs and the dead weight in ranked.
Not much can be done about Quitters and AFK’s that hasn’t already been done but the dead weight can be solved by allowing players to drop in rank. I just had a game in breakout with an AFK who got back at the last round. I asked why why he AFK’d he said, he was here the whole time he just wanted to lose to drop lower in rank because he got lucky and hit plat.I told him you can’t drop like in League of Legends and he got silent and left.
I’m assuming many other AFK’s are doing this same thing and it really is -Yoinking!- with Arena. BTW All those people saying Halo 5 is the first Halo to feature Arena or saying Arena is this new gamemode to Halo…your noob is showing.
Another thing that I actually is on 343i is the lack of BTB. I can wait for Forge and am pretty excited to see how 343i imporved it but I really, REALLY don’t like Warzone but I like Halo’s large map play. Espcially since they’ carried over armor mods from Halo 4.
WHY!?!?!??!
You can get a shield that recharges faster and while sprinting! WHY!?!?!?!?
A motion tracker that doesn’t show you on the tracker unless you sprint and you can see crouching players! WHY!?!?!?!??!!?!?
and you can get more powerful shields allowing you to survive an hit from an energy sword or more powerful melees that insta gib people! WHY!?!?!?!?!?!!
To be fair the melee boost doesn’t seem OP because it still takes two hits BUT if you have a Charge duel or a melee then shootout one players is instantly weaker because REASONS!
Not to mention the req system doesn’t properly block you from these since they’re pretty easy to climb up to get.
Why did they bring back one of the biggest problems of Halo 4 and then slap an RNG feature on it making them even harder to get.
Gunplay is solid , Don’t get al ltehse NERF THE AR/PISTOL threads if anything the SMG is OP because you can killg a sword user or shotgunner before they get int range of you but eh, I guess it does it’s job not matter how annoying it is.
on this topic, 343i also brought back the “feature” from Halo 4 that makes your spawned weapons despawn crazy fast. Many times I’ve been spawned kill in warzone respawned walked to my weapon and see it despawn before my eyes.
While the story was meh< I did like the Battle of Suniaon and the scene where you fall off the Guardian. Also THEL VADAM -Yoinks!-! Wish you were here Rtas.
Looking more at my reasons it seems more accurate to say my problems with Arena lie more to the players than 343i and Warzone hate is purely towards 343i’s choices.
I bet you’ll all love that, right?
