I have played Halo 5 for a week and a half, so I have a pretty solid opinion on it.
Campaign: Great story unique to the Halo universe. While it was a different story than the older games, I feel it presented some interesting ideas and had some great character development, even if it wasn’t a lot. I’m excited for the next chapter of Chiefs story for the next game.
Multiplayer: I am thoroughly enjoying Halo 5s advancement on multiplayer. It is miles better than Reach and H4. Smooth, crisp, competitive, decently challenging, and it flows. Although there is a lack of maps and gametypes, personally I am really enjoying what 343 finally achieved. Arena Slayer is fun, SWAT is challenging to a degree, Custom Games are fun as far as I know (I have played just a couple of Custom Games), FFA is great but the spawns need reworking, and Warzone…Warzone is great fun!
I am excited for BTB coming, and Forge Mode returning next month. For now, I rate Halo 5 an 8/10. Its great in places, but in some its seriously lacking. The best Halo experience since Halo 3.
Good work 343! Keep it up!
PS: I am not a 343 fanboy by any means, but I am a big Halo fan. I dont like some of their design choices, but I do appreciate the effort they are putting into Halo 5.
