It honestly frustrates me that this game is in this current state. I’m going to list off all the problems that this game has
- Tracker Range - doesn’t make since for a game with a fast pace to have an extremely short range. Didn’t hear any complaints about the beta tracker range
- Customization - Why only Armor and Head. Why not something like Reach or better. This is next gen, we should be able to do more C’MON! Plus some armor looks like crap. Why is getting cool armor based on RNG. I honestly liked the Halo 4 system even though it was too fast. Earn Spartan Points to unlock guns and stuff. Complete commendations for cool stances and armor. WHY ISN’T THIS IN THE GAME
- Lack of Reward - I went through the disappointing campaign solo on legendary with the utterly limited AI thinking I might get something like they did in Halo 4. NOPE!
- Warzone Assault - Assault on Array is literally impossible as the attacker. Defenders have height advantage and constantly use grenade spam and all of these BS rocks and trees as covers.
- Warzone Bosses - Sometimes I’m right there with my team unloading an entire clip into a boss. I reload for one second my teammate next to me shoots him and I get NO MEDAL??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Doesn’t help when that same crap happens with Warden Eternal on every map. They can literally throw a piece of cheese across the map, hit the warden and get the points for it.
- The Difference between COD and Halo - Josh Holmes stated that the difference between Halo and COD is that in Halo you have a chance to turn around and kill them instead of getting insta-killed. UNFORTUNATELY with this radar range and the OP Magnum, this is not the case.
- Focusing on the Pros - BREAKING NEWS 343, there are people who play Halo that don’t have Gamma Labs hooked up to their Veins wanting to win every game. Some people wanna play fun gamemodes like Grifball, ricochet, oddball, BTB, Classic 6v6 Slayer. Where is any of this? Later are you serious, this should be here AT LAUNCH
- Maps are terrible - not one memorable map in this game. At least Halo 4 had Haven and Adrift some of the best maps in that game but this game, WTF who thought of Pegasus, Orion, and Regret?
- Campaign - I thought this would be a huge story. Literally I thought you would be in a huge battlefield. Remember that cutscene in Reach where the covenant and the UNSC rush towards each other in that desert. I THOUGHT WE’D BE IN SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HOW COOL WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN! I thought they were gonna have some huge revelations on the Chief as they lead us to believe with these ad’s. Not to mention the fact that I gave zero -Yoink- on Locke’s motives. Why don’t the forerunners do something dark to humanity and they make the UNSC believe that the Chief did it and that Locke’s motives would be that Chief needs to die for this cruel act that he actually never did. HUNT THE TRUTH RIGHT!!! UGH!!! Plus wasn’t this game going to be the darkest Halo yet. NO IT IS NOT! I’m pretty sure Transformers has a darker story than this.
Halo 5 is fun but disappointing. I used to hate the score Joe gave Halo 5(6/10) but now I’m realizing that is a good score to give this game. Hell if I was Joe I would’ve gave this game a 5/10
343 doesn’t know how to do Halo right. Stop making Halo games and focus on a new IP for Xbox or get a new team to make Halo cause I’m tired of 343 completely DISRESPECTING the true Halo community. Why do you think the new kids are coming to the franchise, because people who actually give a crap about Halo left because 343 doesn’t know how to stick to the roots and branch out. Rather have Infinity Ward make Halo. JKJKJK but seriously, there is a better team out their that can take on Halo than 343
