Hello halo community, I’d like to ask you a question.
I’ve been thinking about getting Halo 5, I know, I know, how could I have not gotten it by now? Well, I have story to tell. I go Halo 4 roughly a week after it came out, what I got was Halo Reach with faster TTKs and heavier vehicles, oh, and innate sprint. From what I’ve seen and heard from friends, the game has taken this fast pace and has expanded on it greatly. Personally I felt that if sprint was to be added, it would need to be infinite because… Super soldier, and now it is, bravo 343. I was pleased to hear that ADS was only a zoom function, and didn’t affect accuracy, which I’m glad for, as Halo is all about running ans gunning.
The only major complaints I’ve had are on how vehicles handle, and the story. For one, Halo Reach is my favorite Halo, so I can get past floaty vehicle controls, believe me, and I also don’t get picky on what a story is about in relation to canon, just as long as its execution and internal consistency remains good throughout.
What do you guys think, buy or pass? Please add some things I should consider, I want to make sure it’s worth it.
I’d get even just to play with Forge.

What have they done with it since Halo 4? Guessing we still don’t have a dedicated Forge world?
Halo 5 is a great game. Its free for 7 days, so try it out if you’re on the fence. The gameplay is smooth, the physics and mechanics are sleek, fast and next gen. The multiplayer is deep and replayable with new content added for free monthly, ranks and csr and REQ collection.
Basically the game is dope.
Well…if your looking for a good story, this is not the game to buy. But the multiplayer is probably the best since H3, since everybody starts with magnum/AR and everybody gets the same Spartan abilities (ground pound, Spartan charge, stabilize, sprint, smart link) everybody is on an even playing field. Shields don’t recharge while sprinting anymore, so that’s something to take into account.
As for vehicular combat, all vehicles are weaker in terms of armor. Warthogs are still a menacing force early in warzone and BTB, Scorpions are weaker as well, mostly because they can be boarded so easily. I like to use them as mobile artillery. Wraiths are a bit better to get in closer because you are a bit more mobile and you can splatter people who attempt to board you. Banshees are crazy good though if you know how to use it, phaetons are a lot weaker since just sustained fire can take them down, but they have some really good firepower. And the wasp is the new UNSC Ariel vehicle, it’s only Lvl 3 reqs so you can really dominate the battlefield before they can pull out splasers.
warzone is a crazy mess of REQ’s, so unless you REALLY like chaos I wouldn’t recommend playing untill you can get some good REQ’s.
there is always somebody who is going to snipe you from across the map or smash you with a gravity hammer, there is no escape.
If you have questions about anything just ask and I’ll respond.

Dude. It’s a whole different realm of possibilities with Halo 5 Forge.

We have 4 different forge canvas’s, an ocean, snowy, space, and mountains. And on all of them you can change the skybox to suit the map your forging
(sunset, nighttime, ect) and different weather. You can now select more than one item at a time and create them into groups or even weld them together so they have the same physics.
you can also script objects, so you can create opening and closing doors. People have made other cool stuff that’s more creative than doors (cannons, moving strongholds, ect)

Well, like what? Major mechanics and do we have a Forge world or just a handful of smaller maps?
EDIT: nvm I was answered above.

That sounds great actually, hopefully that means customs are more populated Halo 5?
I just started downloading the free trial, guess I’ll see for myself soon.

Yes, the only problem is there is no file share. So you have to add them and then save their map.
ive seen some crazy stuff come out of forgers

Sounds good, but warzone might be frustrating because you will have no REQ’s to use.

You can always download map and game mode out of waypoint?

He can definitely hold its own if he played previous Halo even with only AR/Pistol and eventually pick up a BR or something else off the ground. Would it be easy? No, but I’ve went through complete game with only pistol and it was that bad. Only stay away from the tank and let your teammates destroy them loll
I would get it as it’s worth it, plus it’s free with gold soon.

Oh, I didn’t know that.
