So far Halo5 is looking great and The sound effects are amazing! Looks like this game has the perfect balance of speed and gameplay,really liking the direction you guys are taking this franchise and I can’t wait to get my hands on this beta.
For the love of God 343, I love what your doing with the franchise! But please don’t listen to the elite purists who only want a carbon copy of halo 2.
I have to completely agree with NucaCola, do not listen to the Halo 2 purists. Honestly the fact that you tried to imitate Halo 2 in Halo 4 was the worst part about that game. My favorite Halo was actually Halo reach followed by Halo 3 then Halo 1. I have never cared for the overpowered battle rifle battles of halo 2 (and 3 but it was more manageable). I really hope I heard correctly and that the battle rifle is not a starting weapon and is a power weapon on the level, because honestly that would be the preferred way of having it in the game and not nerfing the crap out of it.
Playing halo 2 for the first time online, I totally agree that halo 2 is not something to do again but to build off from. If a h2 copy released, the only people who would like it would be those purists, and it would be called a disaster game that is more of a nostalgia induced novelty game than a full modern FPS. halo 5 looks as if its righting all of the wrongs of halo 4 and then evolving the core gameplay. Which is what many others and I have been looking for, a halo game that feels like halo but is a truly next gen experience.
I just wish I could give these comments more likes… I definitely am looking forward Halo 5.
YES YES!! Cant wait for the beta!!
