Ok, after 3 month with Halo 5: Guardians I have come to a final conclusion that I hope to get out in in the forums without getting hated or attacked. Halo 5: Guardians is a great entry in the Halo franchise with some obvious improvements that 343 can make before June and to not repeat in Halo 6 (hopefully). Thats the nice and short version of this thread, now to the full, in-depth version.
Let’s get the positives out of the way first without getting in to detail in this. Gameplay is great, graphics are beautiful, 60fps is amazing in this game and Warzone is a blast with friends.
Now let’s look at the other things. 343 had a rough start with Halo 4 and they tride to fix it even thought the population was falling but Halo 4’s story was heart melting. They gave us promiss with the MCC, but the launch was terrible and the updates came slowly, but that was exceptable because of their failure. I’ not getting into the argument of the marketing of Halo 5 because the thread space is limited. I can agree on that the writing in Halo 5 is not the best and Brian knows that he messed up and disappointed a lot of people with the story so he might get his A game for Halo 6’s but he can use what was in the matketing to make and epic story in Halo 6, but the campaing in Halo 5 is fun to play, minus a repetitive boss fight.
I’m not going in the argument of the maps at launch but I am going to be talking about the playlist at launch. Team Arena, Team Slayer, Breakout, FFA (8 player), and SWAT (instant spawn). That is a small playlist and during the weekend they add temporary playlist (why???) that are in the custom games (just flip the switch 343 they’re in the game’s coding). November they added BTB, in December they added Forge (wich I’m happy that it got delayed) and started doing unranked playlist (wich is BTB) but the gametypes that people want are still not in the game (you guys know what they are). A a video by Late Night Gaming called 343 is starting to scare megives you some same points that are in this thread and some others.
People think that 343 is ruining Halo but that’s not true, with each game they learn something new and learn not to make the same mistakes. Halo 6 has the potential to be the best Halo game with everything at launch, all the fixes that Halo 5 will receive will be in Halo 6 at launch, Brian will probably make a great Halo story with Halo 6 (hopefully), and in June this year will probably see Halo 5 full with content. Some of you will still complain after that because you will never be happy but for the people that only give constructive-criticism please keep finding the things that need fixing, focus on the goods and how to improve them, keep begging 343 to listen, continue giving feedback on playlist. Halo 5 is a great game and the Halo fans want for it to succeed, not fail. LONG LIVE HALO, HALO 5, AND FUTURE HALO GAMES FOR THE BETTER. The replies are open to ONLY the people who agree with this thread and want Halo 5 to succeed, please no hate or trolls (even though they’ll still wright something). Thank you and happy gaming.
