Games Halo 5: Guardians

!!DISCLAIMER!! READ THIS BEFORE YOU CONTINUE: I’ve read many threads. Scanned THROIGH many posts. I know this has been posted before but not in my like. So before you try to jump post cohbts with “git gud” or “bye bye” or “scrub, bk, nub” your posts will be ignored and I encourage mods to do their job to remove your posts. Anyways to the meat of the course.

Ya dun goofd 343. I tried. I really l, really, REALLY tried. And I am a veteran of the series since CE on the PC and have been playing since. Non stop competitive mind you. I was born into and raised into arena shooters. So naturally I’m inclined to jump onto the train after 343 emphasized onto brining Halo back to its roots. I am also a beta player admist the MCC catastrophe so to be fair, I was not going to support this title if it wasn’t for the beta. And wow. I must say how much we’ve changed. And this isn’t for the better. Why though? Why am I throwing in the towl and driving out?

First and foremost your magnum. “B-b-but you loved CE Soul!” YES! You’re correct I do and I stand by the glorious 3 hit kill. Because it works. It’s balanced. Not anyone can pull off a perfect mag kill with that chunky reticle and constant balanced AR fire. So it wasn’t a flawless controller/keyboard spiker.

That being said…why can a mag out gun a DMR/Carbine/BR? “Well balance bruh”. Ugh…no. If that’s the case give me a chance for a loadout. If running for a BR or a DMR only means 3 mag shots away from a complete waste then why have weps laying there in the first place? Even if you don’t agree you know as well as everyone else there’s issues. What do I want about it fixed? Don’t buff and don’t need. BLOOM that damn reticle and make it larger. It’s a side arm. Not a primary rifle in itself.

Then there’s grenades. There is no way around this one other than nerf the hell out of them and limit to two types at a time. I have countless videos of consistent nade spam slam from opposers. It’s not cool and not " MLG" sorry dude.

Running. Am I glad it’s no longer and armor ability? Sure. It’s there. But the whole “no recharge while mid run” is broken. Also, explain to me why there’s stopping power to even start running but there’s no stopping power mid sprint. Fix it.

Spartan charge refils too quickly. Slow it down.

Radar is a given. Boost it back to 25m. 18 or whatever it’s set on is too small. I don’t rely on it, but when I’m in a playlist that supports it and I so happen to use it, I rely on it to work. Which it does not. Fix it.

AR is underpowered. I need not say more. Keep in mind I main precision weps. So calm your keyboard clacking I can hear you from here.

Forge maps as offical maps from 343 itself? I didn’t pay $60 to something I can slap together in a drunken stupor in about 20 mins. I paid to see and play in premium content. Orion is TESTAMENT to this and Pegasus is no better. Get it together 343

Now here’s the real cream of the crop. The icing on the cake. The game breaker. The deal killer. The bullet in the hitmans chamber…the aiming. This SLAUGHTERS it for me. How can you guys seriously screw this up? This game has been around and perfected in this sense for YEARS. WHY CHANGE IT? IF ITA NOT BROKEN DONT FIX IT DUDE. I’m sure we all know about the dead zknes, the acceleration and the lack of auto aim. Which I’m cool with. AA can take a hike because I’m cool with that. But give us options.

Anyways. That’s it guys. I’ll stick around in the shadows till TU1 in Dec allegedly, but if zero of my concerns are not in any official patch notes and it all focuses on garbage like Warzone then some poor shmuck is gonna get s copy for $30 on clist and endure what I have.

So that’s what I got boys. Let’s discuss this civilly

Btw, no unlocks for beating the game solo legendary? Nadda? Nothing? Still gotta pay $2.99?..kk then l. You guys can start refining REQs or give us challenges to unlock stuff we earned. This whole carrot on a stick to continue unlocking packs to get a certain armor type is draining.

PS: The campaign was decent. This is all multi.

But if you’re seriously done, why do you care about making changes?
i am having way more fun than halo 4 so I’m all good

I’m sure there are a lot out there that are thinking what I’m saying and either dkbt have the luxury to express these issues here, or simply don’t know how

Pretty damn good points here. But they don’t like “goodbye” threads, so this will probably get locked.

Also, we’re getting aiming tuning. We’ll be able to fine tune our own X & Y sensitivity to our own liking. They mentioned it in the most recent blog.

. <---- that is my world’s smallest violin playing just for souleater :slight_smile:

Tired of seeing these… no one cares if you are done with Halo… no one is going to be like oh well if they aren’t going to play I am not going to play… I am especially tired of seeing the “you get nothing for beating the game solo legendary” what the achievement and gamer score isn’t enough any more?

7

Uh, no.

If anything the pistol needs to be buffed. It kills far too slowly for how difficult it is to use and how many movement/escape options this game has.

8

I agree with everything you said, except the aiming part. I like it, I know it feels more COD then Halo, but I’ve always liked being able to do that in any fps.

but yes, grenades need nerfed or something. Magnums are fantastic, because they are overpowered and need reworked. The idea of giving us forge maps instead of putting the time and money into fully fledged maps…kinda shady, but they are free…can’t complain a whole lot.

my biggest issue is a complete and total lack of firefight or Spartan ops. Not to continue beating a dead horse, because I know there are numerous threads about this, but H5 right now feels more like an experiment or beta rather than a full game.

i am having fun with this game, despite the annoying grind to unlock stuff via req packs (hate this idea btw), I will keep playing this game until it becomes unplayable…or until they make a halo mmo in the style of warframe or something. Lol. Here’s hoping 343i is aware of the issues at hand and are moving to fix them.

good post though :slight_smile:

pistol is fine, AR is fine, BR is fine, DMR is fine. This is the most balanced weapon sandbox present in any Halo game. 18 m radar is a bit small, but 25 is too much. I say up to to 20 and see how people think that works. I don’t want 343 to jump the gun and ruin map flow and control without testing things out.

10

OP wrote a college thesis for the game, While I admire your compassion I’m not here to read an essay on why you are done with H5

11

Magnum in CE had range. It was a faster kill than the AR. That’s unbalanced. Now with the AR in 5, its not as fast of a kill but its easy to use, has range, and the Magnums not as good as it was in CE.

12

So sick of people like you wanting everything easy either play the game or don’t.

He said he’s been playing since CE so clearly he’s entitled and is owed something. 343 just forgot to consult him first when they started on H5, clearly someone will be fired for this egregious mistake.

I personally don’t have too much a problem with the aiming, but I am glad to hear this. It’s something that’s really been bothering a lot of people.

Weapon balance is awful. Matchmaking is awful. Constantly being stuck with afk’s is awful. Maps and playmodes are awful and very limited. Warzone is a travesty or wasted resources. This game should have had at least 1 major balancing patch by now. 343 blows

Damn… That is an extremely low bar to set as far as standards go.

17

Matchmaking is awesome and on these dedicated servers it has never been fairer. My advice is to switch playstyles if you’re finding you’re not doing well and getting frustrated.

Find yourself sprinting off the spawn, rushing aggressively looking for enemies? Try the opposite, find a spot to sit back, or get in place to provide cover fire for your allies, let them push forwards while you cover their flanks, let enemies come to you.

If you’re having trouble winning 1v1 fights, don’t engage, simply hit them a couple of times then back out (easy with thruster and a corner) just be ready for the nades that will follow you. Call out the enemy you just damaged and let your team try and clean it up. The magnum is decidedly tricky to use, especially if they’re strafing or juking, just remember to aim for the body before going for the headshot, it can be frustrating to miss.

Good luck.

The AR is far from underpowered, especially on these small maps I find it a nightmare fighting a team of people who refuse to put the ARs down!

20

Definitely agree with you on this. Anyone to deny this is either stupid or a blind supporter.

I was told that I would be getting FREE maps and dlc. I didn’t pay $60 for a half–Yoinked!- forge map, which BTB will be on. Are you kidding me?
