Ok so I’ve had my fair share of rants on the forums lately. Been voicing my opinion on different subjects about Halo 5 and even 343I in general, but obviously shouting and ranting is not gonna get any attention and it’s probably just gonna keep causing arguments so let’s have this thread here so we can highlight problems with the game and discuss on how to improve it in a reasonable manner, I’m saying this now after I’ve spent the past hour shouting my point in another thread so yeah a little hypocritical of me but that’s why I want to slow it down a bit and have a proper discussion about Halo 5. Now I’m not saying I hate Halo 5, it’s a decent game in all fairness but it could have A LOT of improvement. The campaign is OK. But that’s a problem for me. Halos campaigns have been absolutely amazing in past titles, so saying it’s ok is really an insult to the series in my opinion. There’s so many problems I can highlight in the game, not just the campaign, so instead of digging right in I want to hear some of you guys’ opinions of the game overall and where you think it needs improving the most. Let’s all try and see through the hatred and blind following and be realistic here.
- Aiming system needs work - RNG needs to be removed next game - Different writer on campaign next game - Less REQ filler in updates - More gamemodes - Rework WZFFI think these are the things everyone can agree on.

Definitely a good start I’d say! And I agree, I’m really not a fan of the way Brian reed handled the story. I really want Joseph staten back to work on halos story, and the updates should be less req filling and more bugs and glitches fixing like updates should be. And there is so much I could say about WZFF and the lack of game modes but I’d be typing forever :s

Exactly lol.
The campaign is an poor excuse for storytelling. I don’t mind the campaign gameplay but I wish the maps were more open and traversable.
The MP works pretty well imo. The extra aim assist and bullet mag are somewhat problematic but the thruster pack and advanced strafing offset this somewhat. Despite its problems, I have never been so addicted to halo. (Well arena, warzone is fun every now and then though).
Halo 5s UI is bad. Really bad. It functions most of the time for me but it has many glitches and errors. The way reqs are organized is laughable.Theatre is an atrocity and an embarrassment to 343. Forge is spectacular but a little difficult to use.
I could go on about things I like and dislike about gameplay but I’ll think I’ll leave this as is.
I’ll say one thing, I have a lot of mixed opinions about the multiplayer gameplay, on the one hand I think it is pretty addicting and the weapon balancing is pretty top notch. But on the other hand sometimes I get really frustrated with the new movement mechanics, in past Halo games (except for 4) you’d be caught in a duel with someone and you’d be ducking in and out of cover and shooting at each other and what not and it would be pretty fun but now with the addition of sprint and thruster and what not, I sometimes find that I’ll start shooting at someone, get a few shots on them but then they’ll run behind cover or just run away completely, I’ll chase after them to try and finish them off but then all of a sudden they’ll just pop up behind me and kill me without me knowing where they came from, and the short range radar is pretty terrible, I rely on my radar quite a bit in Halo so it’s really off putting when it doesn’t help out at all.
