While I thought abilities in a classic playlist would make the gameplay suck, the maps have really redeemed it. So to all the incredible forgers out there who worked on these maps, thanks.
It’d be nice if they kept the maps and put them in regular Arena.
I love Hang em High. Was the first map i played in Halo and is awesome!

Yes but it seems to come up the least of the six maps in the playlist.

Of course, its the one people like the most. Also, the widest open (meaning more Pistol cross-maps)

I don’t know. I found it kind of frustrating the couple of times I’ve played it. I was constantly spawning bottom and getting three shotted before I could do anything, as was the rest of my team.

That was an issue as far back as CE itself from what I can remember. The pistol is just THAT GOOD.

Yes, but the problem this time around is that we’re using the Halo 5 version of the CE pistol, which is hitscan and has huge magnetism. Anybody with a pair of working thumbs can three shot you easily from anywhere on the map. The spawning also isn’t the same. You can spawn bottom now even if you have teammates up on the high ground. It’s not the same Hang em High. I know it wasn’t going to be since this is Halo 5 and not CE, but it turned out worse than I thought it would.

It wont be the same no matter what people do I dont think…and thats alright. Least to me.

I just am not sure that CE’s maps translate all that well to Halo 5’s spawning and mechanics. The wide open spaces and lack of cover on the map worked out in the original because as powerful as the pistol was, it still took some amount of skill to utilize effectively. Leading your shots, pacing them to manage the bullet spread, these are things you do not have to do with the CE pistol in Halo 5. This causes the average TTK to be insanely fast. The wide open spaces in the maps, which the original game was able to get away with to a degree, become a nightmare since if someone catches you even slightly out in the open away from cover, they can kill you in a split second. Spawning bottom on Prisoner for example was never a desirable situation, but now it’s almost a straight death sentence.
The throwback playlist is alright, but I get tired of it fairly quick.
The mechanics of Halo 5, and the wonky spawning of Halo 5, do not translate well to CE maps. That, combined with the ridiculous magnetism of the H5 CE pistol, makes for an experience that I quickly got burnt out on. If I can get several, perfect 3-shots in one bloody match without really trying, then that’s a bit of an issue. CE didn’t just hand those out to you.
I haven’t played it yet. is it good?
Hang em High was a blast last night, easy for me to say though…
This playlist may bring me back to this game.
Gotta agree. Great playlist!

Yes, it has hitscan, but there’s not a lot more magnetism compared to the original CE pistol. Have you played the playlist yet? It’s a lot harder to 3-shot someone than you might think. Also, there’s nothing wrong with the spawns.

I’m STILL waiting to get my hands on this playlist tomorrow… Stinkin’ school.
