Readyuplive has posted a recent video about halo multiplayer and they made some good feedback. Mostly about rumble but really good points otherwise. I think 343i should check it out.
Also, what are your thoughts or additions to the multiplayer?
My concern is it’s mostly promoting slayer right now and it’s boring me out a bit. The warzone issue with 80% br fire right after the first base capture to finish is also bothersome. It takes too long to get certain weapons that should be about the same level as the br through req spawning.

Other than that, I’m having a great time, as of this post I’ve hit level 48, put some good time into guardians. Wonder what the max level is though, hopefully not halfway there in a little over a week.
He’s right. I’ve actually unhooked my xbone and started replaying Demon’s Souls instead. It’s not that Halo 5 isn’t fun, it’s that the current line-up is anemic. In order for me to continue playing with any regularity, I need BTB and objective playlists. Social playlists would be nice, but while I want them, they’re not the dealbreakers that the gimped gametypes are.

Putting yourself through the pain train are we now?

Seeing as the flamelurker is about to be coming for my booty, absolutely.

> Wasn’t the BR always a four shot?
yes…well in halo 4 it was briefly 5 shot, but they put it back to 4. The BR was and should always be a 4-shot weapon. OP must be new to the series. edit apparently he played halo 3…OP did you not realize that BR was 4-shot back then?
I think it seems more powerful now due to the rate of fire increase compared to say halo reach so deaths are more regular.
TBH I wish every single shot weapon took 1 more round to kill. But maybe that’s coz I’m slowing up with age!!!

> The 4shot kill with br is a bit much too, it should reside at 5shots like it was meant for, unless there is some actual reason otherwise?
I think his score is a little low even if I agree with many of his points. Social playlists need to be added though Im sure once forge is released many modes such as BTB will be released along with it. I would rate it at a 7.5. It does many things right and the flaws it has will be fixed once more modes are added along with forge
Rul did a great job on this review as I fall somewhere in between a casual and competitve player. I want to be competitive but most days it takes way too much energy to care that much.

I posted about getting social gametypes at launch exactly one week before the game came out. Literally no one on the forums game a -Yoink-. Now all we get is 30 minute Warzone matches.
I generally like RUL’s stuff. This one doesn’t add up though. Nearly every negative addressed in the video was something that will be alleviated shortly. In totality, not sure how he makes the leap from those pretty minor negatives to a 6/10 score. But that’s his scoring system, not mine.
The matching of full parties vs. solo players is a good point, about the only one. But the social vs. ranked distinction is unnecessary, the only difference is the looser matching expectations. It’s such a marginal differentiation it’s hardly even worth mentioning.
