This is some really good feedback. It’s nice that you included details in the other thread as well. Hope 343i gets around to looking at this. Keep up the good work TARGETL0CKED.

The Announcer should also make a return to the Halo 3/Halo: Reach style. The announcer in those games sounded much better, was more serious, and rewarded you more because of how little he would announce medals. It was rewarding to hear the announcer because the announcer would not constantly shower you, the player, with accolades like “Purrrrr-fect”, “HAilllll marRRY”, “SNAP-shot”, “CluuussTER LUuck”, “Brawler”, “Hat Triiiick”, or “Top Gun”. The multi-kill announcements also definitely need to be re-recorded, or simply pulled from Halo 3/Halo: Reach. Halo 5’s “DUUble Kyill” is so whiny, over-excited, and fluctuates too much in tone of voice. It needs to go.

I think that 343i confirmed that the announcer was going to be toned down and less medals would be announced. It’s for this reason that I chose not to include that feedback. However, it can still be found in the more detailed thread.

I moved the full-length community-based feedback thread into the Halo 5 beta section because I figured 343i would be more likely to look there since it contains legitimate feedback concerning game mechanics, bugs, etc. I decided to make a shortened version and put it here since this is where the majority of Halo players discuss various topics pertaining to Halo 5. I also made this thread shorter in response to many claims that the full-length thread was to long and hard to digest.

Thanks. Hopefully more people get around to reading this thread, especially 343i.
