I think halo 5 is a good game, but that’s all, it doesn’t get me exited it doesn’t feel the magic of halo franchise, if I can describe halo franchise in 3 words would be: epic, magic, ingenious, remember the first time you get to the first halo? Or the time you found the flood? The first time you drive a scorpion? The first time you play firefight? All this is gone, they bring us a standard halo game without innovations they give us a unfinished game, you know 343 if you are lack of ideas, just hear the public, I am not angry, I am just disappointed, I used to spend time in halo franchise, now I know you will give to us a empty halo, hope you Microsoft hear the fans. R.I.P halo franchise at least a part of it.
good luck in halo 6 I still have faith.

All we can do is hold onto our faith at this point… I pray Halo 6 will redeem 343.
I feel like the base gameplay of Halo 5 fantastic. There just isn’t enough content around it to support it. It’s improving with the adding of much needed gametypes, but that’s all stuff that should of been there from the start. They should be introducing brand new gamemodes after launch, not making up for leaving out series staples that have been there since CE. Not to mention:
- No forge at launch
- No split screen
- Custom games that were lacking at launch(Not sure if they’ve added more options since)
- No true BTB Maps
- Armor customization that is lacking compared to Reach and Halo 4.
- No Social playlists other than BTB.
- No Co-op Matchmaking. Seems pointless to brag about 4 player co-op but not to offer some sort of matchmaking.
- No Campaign scoring
- No PvE gamemode
- Campaign that lacked a “Halo Quality” story.
- No chat in lobby
- No LAN support
I know some of these have been corrected since launch but when you add all that together and compared it too other Halo games. Halo 5 was and still is very lacking. It was the fact that Halo always offered the complete package. Halo 3, Halo Reach and Halo 4 spoiled us with content and features. I was really hoping Halo 5 would do the same. 
I do feel the same way but i totally understand whats going on with this game. I believe or hope that this is a filler game for the community, example is that this game had and i am going to be truly honest on this one, Horrible Campaign. They had some good ideas good graphics and good play style but they didn’t deliver on the story. They did on the other hand bring the community a great multiplayer, don’t get me wrong it has its cons but overall its good. The flow of this multiplayer is nothing like Ive ever experienced in Halo with the new movement abilities. There are some that will disagree with me but hear me out, your opinion is your opinion, but i do like some change every once and a while we need something to bring multiplayer to the next level. Movement and graphics was that, this year was one of the best experienced with the HCS series considering the close and exhilarating matches it brought to us in the game play. Now we also didn’t get too many game types in this new dawn of multiplayer, and yes i would like more and in my last posts you can see i had very strong opinions toward the Creators for this. But we got to give them some slack they spent most of their time on giving us War zone and wene i look around i see most of Halo players enjoying this. But now i totally trust the developers to show up in future updates just like they have in recently with the new February updates. I think that they are planning something big soon and i just hope they deliver, looking at the Halo franchise they have done this before and i hope the community will understand that, lets hope for a bright Halo future guys and cant wait for the new update.
I think Halo 5 is a good game, but it’s broken with lag.

I agree. I find a lot of games come down to who has a better ping than who is actually more skilled.
Totally agree whit all the comments, come on 343 I know you can do better, give to the fans what they deserve, after all, is because of us that halo is what is today, the fans, it is not to late, good luck.

- Agreed
- I believe this months update is supposed to add more custom games
- Warzone was intended to be a replacement obviously, so we are lucky we got a single BTB map

- I found those annoying and pointless, they just side tracked me from experiencing the game and made more annoying objectives to get all the achievements

- Oh I know. I was just saying since 3 it has become a feature that is extremely popular within the Halo community and I think it hurt the game a lot at first with it not being there
- Warzone is a fun mode, but I don’t feel like it could ever replace 8v8 CTF. I hope 343 doesn’t make the same mistake with Halo 6 and has BTB with real maps at launch.
- I agree. Although they could of made it so you unlock the entire armor set at once. Then you can mix & match pieces after that.
- I felt scoring added longevity and replay ability to the campaign. It was nice to have leaderboards and compete against friends. Specially since the story isn’t very good, but the levels are fantastic. Would of been nice to go for a high score.
- Agreed. I felt like they were missing MC part of the campaign. It felt like both characters had an equal amount of missions, but they had to be scraped because of time. Maybe a campaign expansion before Halo 6?
- I mean before you join matchmaking. You can’t hear your friends when you are in the lobby. You can in the pre-game lobby right before the game starts. I agree that we need a way to mute people before the game.
- LAN is just something that would of helped Halo 5 survive past the inevitable shutdown of the servers. I still have LAN parties with the older Halo games at least once a year.
I know what you mean. This is the first halo game that I didn’t finish the campaign before jumping into multiplayer. I still haven’t finished all of it and don’t plan on it anytime soon. It just didn’t draw me in like previous games. I think too much focus was put into making some mlg worthy multiplayer game instead. Warzone has so much potential but it’s lacking. So many great things that worked in previous games were gutted and I’m not sure why. Disappointed sums it up.

Halo 5 already redeemed 343.

From a gameplay standpoint yes. From a content and features standpoint I felt they took a step backwards with Halo 5.
Hi, Mom.
This isn’t about a “lack of ideas”, this is about what Jonny posted.

I agree. The gameplay is very solid, responsive, and smooth. Personally, I don’t like sprint and S.charge, but they don’t ruin the experience for me.
What at you outlined above ruins my experience, that and the RNG unlocks.
Would’ve at least liked some new vehicles or something. And no, not an “ONI” version of the same crap. And what ever happened to the sticky detonator? I mean come on guys, just because people said “We don’t want killstreaks in Halo” doesn’t mean you had to gut out any new ideas. Though, you could replace the mantis with a flying UNSC vehicle. Would’ve been much more appreciated, especially since the mantis is worthless. It’s neither a tank nor is it an anti-tank vehicle. It dies way too easily.

I quite honestly forgot about CTF, mainly because it is only in team arena (stupid idea for that and strongholds to be honest), and yeah I just realized this Halo will be literally unplayable when the servers are shut-down, And to be quite honest I’m hoping that most of the content that was missing is because they decided to make a brand new engine for 5 and that Halo 6 will have more game modes, and split-screen, if it has split-screen I’ll be the happiest person in existence
