The times are changing...

With the release of Halo 5,alot of the old ways have seemed to disappear such as split screen (technical problems),dual weilding, playable elites, flood threat, the roar of the brutes, and the sound of Cortana (until H5 is released). Over 15 years,Halo has truly evoled. I want to use this post for people to post some of the things they liked best. Example:
Old likes-ect.
Old dislikes-ect.
New likes-ect.
New dislikes-ect.
New wishlist-ect.

I’m probably among the few percent of people that really like the new direction of halo. I always play single player so no split screen doesn’t bother me. Im a grenader so I never used duel wielding anyway. I love all of the new mechanics and the new forge makes me want to build maps when I’ve never cared to before. I think this will be one of the most successful sets of changes in franchise history. I’m not just kissing 343s yoink either. I’m very well aware they screwed up the MCC and I know the things I mentioned that I don’t use or care for are big deals to a lot of people and I respect that as well.

*Bungie was really communicative throughout H3 which made the game a little bit better :slight_smile:

I really like the new REQ system. A good way to reward players and spice up Warzone gameplay.

I, too, like the new direction. Large scale events are cool, but seen through the eyes of characters we care about who can express themselves they’re even bigger. I get the concept of Chief being armor that we wear, so we put our own experiences into that shell, but I can see a lot of benefit in doing it this way.

Dont fret mate, im here with you. Some stuff i dont like. Some of the art direction really sucks and small thing here and their annoy me but overall im really happy with the direction Halo 5 is going.

Old likes: Mostly all things Combat Evolved, The Arbiter, Prophet of Truth (in Halo 2 only, he got dumb in Halo 3), Chips Dubbo, incredibly solid gameplay

Old Dislikes: Disjointedness between expanded universe and games, campaign back-tracking, plot holes

New likes: Visuals (Forerunner Architecture is stunning and actually looks like what you’d expect to find on a giant ring in space in terms of size and scale and being very odd and alien), movement, marriage between expanded lore and games, level design, gun play

New Dislikes: some armor looks a bit silly … um … most complaints I have are specific to things they tried in Halo 4 but did away with since they were unpopular (QTEs, loadouts, etc.) …

I’d like to see more content for our non-campaign Spartans. Some sort of Spartan ops mini campaign or something.

you are aware that Installation 04B + half of the Ark blew up? Very unlikely he survived that.

I think you mean 04, the original and if you know the books he got away with a bunch of other in a Pelican. The Legendary Ending doesn’t count ;D

Old likes-ect.

  • Story
  • Story/Campaign Improvment in Halo 4
  • Artstyle of the Old and new Triology as well Amor-Design
  • Soundtrack
  • How Bungie evolved Ego-Shooter on Consoles and how well they did to transport Ego-Shooter Competitive-Concept from PC to Console
  • Map-Design
  • Firefight
  • and much more…

Old dislikes-ect.

  • No-Bot Mode except later in a similiar term of Firefight. But i wished more a botsystem like Counter Strike where you play it like an Multiplayer…because back than i hadn’t a internet connection very often.
  • BR Starts: Please don’t misunderstand me, i’m a huge Fan of BR infact its my most Favorite Weapon in Halo. But i find BR Starts boring and dumbed down a bit the Competitive Way/Skillplay.
  • Balancing Issues, which resulted that BR Starts have to be…
  • Most of the Multiplayer Aspects of Halo 4
  • the terrible german voice acting (most part of it)

New likes-ect.

  • Generally i love how much Halo have evolved. Halo 4 were kinda letdown because of some bad Design-Decision in Multiplayer, but except that, how much personality Master Chief got over the years, how much depth the Story/Universe of Halo has gain…
  • Team Blue
  • Team Osiris
  • Better Weapon balance as well AR/Pistol starts
  • Arena mostly Breakout, because i’m a huge fan of CounterStrike and Breakout looks like an good/awesome fusion of Halo and CS
  • Warzone
  • Gunplay
  • REQ System and the Customization
  • Forge…
  • New Ranking System
    New dislikes-ect.
  • Missing Splitscreen
  • Missing Firefight
  • Artstyle, Graphics and Soundtrack

Not Sure if like-or-dislike:
-Spartan-Abilitys, but from what i’ve seen, they look positive to me, because they seem wellthough and good integrated… and also fits halo.

New wishlist-ect.

  • Fileshare for Forge
  • Firefight or a similiar mode as exampe - PVE oriented Warzone
  • Serverbrowser for Custom-Games
  • Halo 6
  • Halo 6 have Splitscreen again
  • New Weapon-Skins with upcoming Updates
  • Forge to have also the possibilty to place REQ Weapons etc
  • That Time runs faster so it is 27th and we already can play ._.
