Hey guys, names John and ive been playing Halo ever since i can remember. Going back as far as 2004 when i first played what is my favorite Halo, Halo 2. Since then ive grown to love the games and the universe that surrounds it. Books, graphic novels, web movies, ETC. But with the last installment of Halo, i found myself not enjoying Halo as much as i have in the past. To be honest i dont think Halo 5 lives up to the hype it so desperately tried to sell us. here are some of my personal pros and cons. feel free to correct me and use constructive criticism.
Campaign: my biggest con with the campaign isnt 4 player COOP, its the lack of split screen. Now i understand the reasons behind the loss of split screen, but its something that i loved about past halo games. Also its worth mentioning that we only got to play as John 117 3 times… to me that really bothered me. Making Cortana the bad guy also bothered me cause when i was 10 years old i knew how important she was to John and how much he cared about her. at 10 years old i wanted to take care of her and in 2012 we lost her… there was such an emotional air to the game when it finished. i can honestly say i cried at the end of Halo 4. legendary also bothers me cause of the lack of compensation. you literally get nothing for beating it on the hardest difficulty… what? i used to grind for hours alone on legendary just to say i have that armor or emblem.
Multiplayer: the only real problem i have is its unbalanced… everyone says it is but its not… the ranking system… oh boy here we go… over the weekend i played Shotty/Sniper. i lost 8 matches in a row and won 2. i was put into Platinum while my buddy was put into Gold for wining 7 and losing 3… can anyone explain why thats so broken? From what i understand it was all about wins but its not…
REQ packs: oh God where do i even start… you dont earn anything anymore… you roll for it…
Forge: lack of forge at launch.
now you might be wondering whats the pros? well there isnt much but heres a few 
Graphics: amazing, loved the setting and character animations.
armor: loved every piece of armor in the game
length of game: wasnt short but wasnt to long. to me it was perfect.
matchmaking times: those are awesome. i find matches instantly unlike MCC “cough cough” #SaveMCCFirst
Voice acting: was awesome. great actors.
Music: finally 343 made some good music.
