Am I the only one who is super happy that 343 went back to Halo’s roots in regards to weapons? I.e. like in CE all weapons are, big shocker, actually useful. One of the things that always annoyed me about every game in the series since Halo 2 is how a certain set of weapons were always the only viable option and trying to use anything else was pretty much suicide? But now with Halo 5 things are back to the way they should be! Heck even the Storm Rifle, which I don’t even remember using in Halo 4, is now a decent weapon in certain situations. This will make both replaying the campaign as well as playing MP A LOT more fun in the long run.
I do appreciate that 343 makes an effort to make every weapon usable. Noticed that since Halo 4 when auto rifles were actually a viable option at close range.
Yes, the weapons have been a welcome improvement. I like using the different weapons and actually getting kills with them for a change. Also the sounds are very good also.
