Halo 5 looks and sounds great for the most part, however, I cannot seem to get over the sound the shields make. It can be very annoying. I much prefer the sounds of past Halo games such as Halo 4 and Reach. Do you agree? Disagree?
Edit: If you watch some of the gameplay from the campaign, you can hear the classic shield sounds for Chief’s armor. However, you have to play close attention.
I had the Halo Reach Console that made the shield charge sound every time you turned it on… suffice to say I’m sick of hearing it and am all for new sounds.
I’m fine with the new sounds, I just wish they’d switch them around. From the beginning, we’ve learned that beeping means low shields and louder, harsher chords mean no shields/low health. Now it’s the opposite for some reason. It’s not a huge deal, but it’s a bit irritating to me since I often relied on audio cues rather than looking at the bar.
I don’t mind the beeping noise in Halo 5, but the recharge sound I can’t stand in Halo 5. Over all I like the older Halo shield sounds much better as do my friends.
