Games Halo 5: Guardians

Please state everything you like about halo 5, I have seen a lot of posts bringing it down, complaining about 343 and ‘issues’ in the game. I think 343 have done a fantastic job and I cant see any problems with halo 5 ( multiplayer or campaign ) so please post everything you love about it !

:smiley:

I like everything!!! Imo it has a great story which is not hard to understand. And the multiplayer, just wow. The CSR system like league of legends ranked is great. Will keep me playing for a loong time!

As a Halo veteran, who lived through the rise and fall of the Halo franchise, I must say I am incredibly impressed with 343i’s Halo 5. I adore Halo 3, but I think Halo 5 has surpassed it. The campaign is full of action, difficult bosses, beautiful levels, and has an interesting story. The multiplayer is well balanced, mostly bug free, competitive, and very fluid. I also love all the various armors and the Req system is super fun. For all the poor devils who hate it, I pity you for missing out on the greatness that is Halo 5.

I love everything about it! Multiplayer is balanced, campaign is good from what I’ve seen so far, and it’s just been a fun experience for me.

The pistol… hahahah

Great thread to discuss positive matters.

The soundtrack! I listened to it before the game released and loved it. Now I’ve played the game alongside the soundtrack I love it even more. Warzone so far is quite enjoyable too. I also like the different variants of guns i.e the Battle Rifle and the Sentinel Battle Rifle. It’s still early days so I’ll find more things as time progresses.

There are definitely problems, but i will list what I like about it.

  1. stormbreak. They need to make more maps like it where its just one massive lane. I think thats where they will hit gold with warzone. It has a lot of breathing room due to a large map yet players are constantly having a tug of war in awesome shootouts near the middle while a few players can be off doing other objectives. perfect balance.

  2. Can t really say what else i like about multiplayer. coop campaign is great. It doesnt have lag which plagued last halo’s.

  3. Forge and custom games will always be the best part even on halo 4 where it was the weakest forge in the series.

  4. I would reccomend this game to people when more maps come out and forge releases.

Halo 5 may finally replace Halo 3 as my favorite Halo game. I love the multiplayer maps, SWAT is chaotic fast paced fun, I think the sound quality is amazing. Warzone is good, the REQ system mainly helps there so it does not upset the standard MP balance. There has been a lot of complaints about the graphics but to my eyes it looks great. Standing in the multi-player city map (I cannot remember the name right now) and seeing paper trash blowing across the street, leaves falling off the trees and the lights flickering really makes the maps feel alive.

Break out is so much fun!

I love that 343 is making it their own and not just rehashing what bungie left. Its way better and cheaper then destiny.

343 has worked super hard on this game. Thank you for everything. Please listen to your players.

Warzone is everything Destiny’s public spaces should have been. The campaign is open and dense, rich with many secrets to uncover. The gun sandbox is balanced and every weapon is unique and fun to use. The new Spartan Abilities change the game in ways that Armor Abilities never could, giving everyone the same added mobility from the start. So far, I’m loving it!

Game was well worth 100$ for the limited edition. Campaign is a blast and warzone is the best multiplayer ive ever had the pleasure to play. Shoutout to 343

Posted this in a similar topic but im going to leave it here as well.

  • Art Design (not graphics but general design) Unlike most people I actually really like the new weapon and vehicle designs especially the Phantom and Ghost, they look like a highly evolved version of the old models and don’t feel out of place to me, I also love a lot of the campaign level design and Sanghelios looked fantastic. I also really like the new Prometheans, I love how they look and feel so much more bulky and metallic when you hit them! the moment I ran up to a Knight and tried to assassinate him and just got a huge CLUNK and only had him to turn round and scatter shot me was fantastic. - Soundtrack + SFX I Love the soundtrack and honestly it has turned out to be probably my favourite OST from Halo yet, the mix of old and new really ties in well with the vibe of the game and at some parts of the campaign just feels right, I particularly love how they mixed the old Halo theme with a modern SciFi futuristic vibe. I have been and will continue to listen to it for ages. The sound effects are also pretty nice, some of them I am not big on but things like the sound of the a Sniper hitting you it really makes you feel like a truck has just drove straight into your face. The audio in this game brought back that feeling of awe that the original CE brought me back in 2001. - Warzone Maps Although warzone has taken a hit graphically I think the art direction is lovely, I really think they got the setting just right, sadly I cannot say the same for arena maps but I will get to that later. I love how each warzone map has a unique environment like snowy mountain or tropic island sort of vibe, I actually have been killed a few times because I was sort of standing looking at particular points of the map checking out the terrain. - Gun Balance + Gunplay I originally was unimpressed with Halo 5 but the I took my time to try each weapon out and found that no weapon is useless! this is probably the first time in a Halo game that I feel I can use any weapon without feeling handicapped, I particularly love how even things like the Suppressor and Storm rifle that once had no use are now although no BR are actually usable! I also love the rework to nades, Frags bounce really well and are very controllable and the new Splinter nade is fantastic in close quarters fights. - Spartan Abilities During the Beta I was absolutely furious about the implementation of yet another set of abilities, the very thought of it enraged me but I have now learned to love them, the way thrusters let you have more control over your movement is really nice and makes for very interesting 1v1 scenarios, I love having a pistol fight with someone while we are both zipping about trying to out manoeuvre each other. I still don’t care for sprint but because of warzone I can see how it helps an it really isn’t as big of a deal as people make it out to be. Clamber is nice for reaching those far jumps and again doesn’t cause any harm being there I don’t see any problems with it. Ground pound was a bit of a worry to me but I have seen almost nobody use it practically I used it a few times in campaign and once or twice in arena but most people don’t seem to risk floating for a prolonged time in case of being shot down. - Smart Scope This was the biggest worry to me of all of Halo 5, I really really hated the idea of implementing an ADS system into Halo but as I have used it and got used to Halo 5 I really don’t care at all about it any more it doesn’t effect the game that much and really it kind of looks cool the way the HUD rearranged to fit the zoomed functionality. - Arena + AR/Pistol Starts I have found myself really enjoying everything about arena, I know ranks are a little buggy at the minute and I know there is a lack of gamemodes but I am having fun and the new starting loadout is actually very refreshing. I know people are crying NERF but really I hope they don’t I like everything where it is and if you nerf the pistol it will become useless again and to be honest you can easily out shoot a pistol user already. - REQ System I actually really like the idea of the REQ system, it excites me to open up new packs and really I like how you can spawn with whatever you want in warzone but still have to make a proper decision of it. again people screaming about how it is pay-2-win when really I have played a few matches without even use a REQ card! you can simple scavenge weapons and vehicles of the people you kill! I wonder if they will add in any more game modes to warzone in the future? - Return of skulls + Collectables When Halo 4 came out I was so disappointed that you couldn’t find skulls in the levels, I always loved hunting for the skulls and seeing how many I get on my first run and now that they are back ( a little bit tiny this time) I can go hunt them down all over again. The new 117 intel files also make me want to replay the campaign so I can find and listen to all the intel files, I have currently done 4 missions worth of intel files and still going strong. - New Forge Yes I know it isn’t out yet but it looks great, nuff said. - Exuberant Witness!!!

I can list the things I don’t like about it in about a paragraph…but to list the things I do like about it, it would take about 30 minutes to write out. Since I don’t want to write it all out I’ll leave you with this. As a Halo veteran, I have never been more surprised and impressed by a Halo game before. This game has it all!
