Just finding out that warzone basically is a Matchamaking exclusive gametype, my hype for halo 5 is simmering down to an all time low. But i can’t be to bias considering that was like 1/4 of the game shown and we hav eway more stuff to see yet. Warzone not being forgable or playable in custom games really kills it. I was imagining clan battles on warzone and being able to make your own big clan training maps with A.I and so many ideas racing through my head that i thought was going to be possible through warzone but i was sadly disappointed after reading that Warzone was a matchmaking only gametype and will not participate in making Halo customs better than before. Halo 5 will not be a good game sadly if warzone is the only new addition to the game. Of course Forge will get a big upgrade, and of course matchmaking will be new and player lobbies will be BIG but if there isn’t anything different to make halo 5 different then the rest of the games other than warzone then Halo 5 will not be as everyone thought it will be. The game will play differently and ill still have just as much fun or maybe even more fun than older halo games but like i said, it wont be NEW NEW. We something to spice it up. Something that will blow our mind out of the water (Other than warzone) Cause lets face it, warzone was a disappointment when we figured out it was only matchmaking.
Sorry for saying that Halo 5 will not be a good game if warzone is the only new thing added to the game. What i meant to say was that it wont get me on the Hype Train as much
What about the Squad based, commandable gameplay in campaign?
What about the plasma caster?
What about the Burn ca-- err Req Cards.
Which enable new ways to customize your Spartan.
What about the new airship?
Or the new spartan Movement that allows for faster more skilled gameplay?
Or the ground pound.
Or the new Mini rocket launcher, the Hydra?
(walks away while continuing to list stuff off)
Why are you assuming Warzone is the only new addition when the game is not out yet?
I think if Warzone was actually Firefight, then I’d be disappoint that it’s only matchmaking. But since it’s completely different, I am very pleased with this new game mode. Most people who played it at E3, seem to come to the same conclusion; Warzone is fun to play.
In my opinion, concluding that Warzone is the only new addition 4 months before launch…. is childish. Breakout is new, the campaign has a fresh look to it, Warzone looks great. I’m sure 343 will have a few more surprises for us leading up to launch.
This E3 wasn’t much different than the year of Halo 4. We got the first footage of Campaign and Spartan Ops then, and Campaign / Warzone this year. It wasn’t that disappointing for me
There’s still over 4 months left before the game comes out and we have yet to see anywhere close to the whole game.
This is why 343 is stuck between a rock and a hard place and will hear it from the community, no matter what they do.
You have people who want them to release Halo 2-3 w/ better graphics and not a damn thing different. Anything new and it’s time to panic and declare “Halo is dead” and “Halo 5 isn’t Halo.”
Then you have people like OP, and I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with this, but they want “new new new new” everything, even if it makes the game feel less like a Halo game. I even had a guy on my feed in Xbox Live say he wasn’t interested in Halo 5 because it looked like “more of the same.” And people seriously wonder why things like ADS and Spartan abilities are added to the game…
Anyway, can’t possibly please anyone. Warzone is a huge new mode and just because it isn’t foregable or playable in offline games really won’t impact the vast majority of players, although it’d probably extend the life of Halo 5 some for the diehards.
Um… It’s not. What a waste of time.
Breakout is new gametype, but I personally think it’s lame

And this is just what we know of so far. There may be more surprises in store. Time will tell.

I did not like Breakout AT ALL. No respawn game types have never been enjoyable to me. I didn’t like it in GOW1 either. I can see Breakout being fun to some people, but it is the opposite of fun to me.
I prefer Warzone game types by a long shot with land and air vehicles, lots of players, and complete chaos. Grew up playing BTB so this is even better IMO especially since they confirmed Warzone will have JIP.

Not a good game to you, but definitely shaping up to be a great one for others. Likely the best Halo yet. Is there a game out now that already meets your criteria? Or does one need plucked from the heavens?
The beta was a blast and felt very fresh to me. Despite being more of the same ol’ for the most part, it FELT new…

I’m with ya on breakout. Def the one playlist I’ll steer clear of. Like you I’m into the big maps and BTB playlists, but I loved the beta slayer games just as much. There will be plenty for everyone with this release. Glad I didn’t sell my X1 now.
We know that we won’t be able to forge or play Warzone in customs, but does anyone know if the maps will be playable as a BTB maps?
This inane obsession with finding out all the details of a video game before it releases is what is killing your hype. Go dark until Oct 27th and you’ll be impressed and amazed when you get to play Halo 5 without knowing what is in it.
I think its cool that from what we’ve seen so far they have ‘polar opposite’ game types. It looks like there will be some good MP. Breakout, Warzone, Arena and then there’s campaign on top of that even.

maybe if the 343 themselves forge or build walls and such to make the map smaller for the smaller number of players.

Pretty sure they said BTB has its own exclusive maps that are separate from Warzones exclusive maps.
I feel you. I will be perfectly happy with halo 5 as long as they add plenty of weapons and vehicles to the game, and actually make the vehicles useful again.
