What do people not like about Halo 5?

I don’t know if there is another forum post about this, but if there is I’ll post what I don’t like there.

Things I don’t like, and for reasons:

  • Social Gameplay - (there isn’t enough game types for social play. There wasn’t when the game came out, and there isn’t now. The social list is small and not big enough in Matchmaking. The Social lists they bring out need to be permanent, not temporary.) - Bigger Forge Maps - (Alpine and Glacier are OK Forge maps but they aren’t large enough. The biggest Forge map I remember was Forge World in Halo Reach. Alpine is probably just the size of The Canyon to the end of Big Cave on Forge World. I miss a lot of old games people made on Forge World, Day - Z, Infection Origin Maps.) - Rewards - (Warzone has good rewards after every game, but Arena not so much. Arena gives you Req Points not even at 1,000. It’s lower. The XP is OK, just not the greatest either. It needs to be increased.) - Variety - (This is something I miss, and Halo is one of many games that did this. Halo 2 brought them in, and they were here til Halo Reach. Playable Elites. Halo Reach brought in a new game mode with Elites Invasion. They changed things in Reach with their regenerating Health, and faster rachargong Shields. Halo 5 can easily make them equal to a Spartan. Give then a double evade, faster recharge on Shields, and give them the automatic should charge. I’m sure with there size and strength they can sprint they can do that.) - Campaign - (Campaign was nothing like I thought it’d be. The trailers I saw before Halo 5 came out made it seem like a big chase, Chief is a traiter. But the Campaign it self is different, very. The trailers were so misleading.)I have more things I don’t like about this game, but there is things I do like. Halo 5 I know isn’t like other Halo games but at least it could’ve been released to make every Community happy. Social Community, Clanning, Forge, Machinima, and Competitive. When the game released I only saw one Community getting all the attention, Competitive. That’s why I didn’t like Halo 5 at first.

Halo 6 needs to pay attention to all of the Communities, not just one.

Lack luster campaign along with lack of gamemodes is the problem with Halo 5. I don’t see why you have a problem with the forge they are rather big and you have three to pick from.

Edit: you get less reqs and xp in arena because the matches are shorter.

I like the campaign, but it could have been better.

Its the story that is the main problem gameplay is actually pretty good.

Forge world definitely needs to come back along with different types. Like a sand dune type, snow + ice world.

Forge World, and Sandbox. Both good maps to forge on.

I think the lack of content is what bothers people the most

I find for my country the lack of inactivity, as because I life in Australia the Internet connection is not great and since the multiplayer gametype or just halo 5 in general is region lock to its own country which I find stupid, but not just that there severs for Australia are really bad I lag out of say 9/10 unless my internet is good today, but I usually play with my American friends as this solves my internet issues and I can find players, but since the new update a lot of people have come back to halo 5 THANK GOD ABOUT BLOODY TIME I SAY so now, I can find games but the severs are still a problem but it doesn’t bother me anymore I still play halo as because I enjoy it and I enjoy what 343 has installed for us in the next coming years I’m very interested indeed

I’ll be honest, at this point i only care about one thing. I can put the campaign and multiplayer elements to one side. The one thing that continues to piss me off is the network. The fact that i can’t load reqs before/after a game is really annoying. The errors and disconnections are the things killing this game for me.

There’s no playable Elites.

  • Boring campaign - Horrible ui - Lack of game modes - Basic customization - Microtransactions - Crap map design based around the new abilites

Legendary boss kills being entirely awarded to the last bullet.

Spartan charge.

That’s about it, really.

Why would do something like this? Why would you start this thread? It’s only a matter of time now before the purists start screaming about SS,Sprint, thruster and the usual nonsense.

-Lack of content. A lot of maps feel the same and generally the map they’re based off of wasn’t even average to the begin with.

-While the campaign had great gameplay, the story was lackluster. Didn’t enjoy it whatsoever.

-Region Lock being removed has made online play unstable and frustrating. A fix is needed immediately. However, the other side of this is unfair to players in Australia and other areas so it’s a double edged sword.

-Playlists suck. I love Strongholds but I don’t want to play CTF or Assault to play it. I am also still waiting for BR Slayer…

They removed Region Lock which has ruined the game for many of us in the US in terms of lag. I’ll be clear though, I don’t feel it’s fair you can’t find a game in Australia so they may have had to do it. However, given you said Australia internet isn’t the best + the distance between us, it’s not fair to cause constant lag either.

-Yoink!- if you do. -Yoink!- if you don’t.

Campaign was “OK” but it didn’t match up to the HTT story which bothers me a lot.

I like the req system but it needs an overhaul of some sort.

A lot of the DLC updates add gamemodes that should have been included at launch.

  • Bad story and incredibly misleading trailers and marketing
  • 3 levels where you just go to pint A to point B
  • Lack of multiplayer gametypes
  • Lack of armour customisation options
  • Most armours are just the same with a different paint job
  • A lot of armours are just plain ugly and don’t make any sense inside the lore
  • Everything is random
  • No voting or veto or control over what map/gametype you want to play
  • Bad UI
  • Content spread to “keep the game alive” post-launch
  • Gambling-oriented REQ system to keep you buying/grinding (this really pissed me off)
  • Adding things and then removing them for no reason (griff)
  • Uninspiring boss fights in warzone
  • No playable elites or other species
  • Human oriented multiplayer (no covie or promethean loadout weapons)
  • One use only REQs

Just to name a few at the top of my head right now, but I’m sure there are more. Fortunately there are good things in Halo 5 too, I just hope they don’t make the same mistakes with future games.

It would be easier to list the things you do like.
Because there is none!! Unless you like getting ripped off that is.

BAD STORY/CAMPAIGN

Idea for halo 6 campaign: At the end of halo 6 campaign they should create a scene at the end that makes you want to imagine like what is going to happen next…

Somewhat like the end of the marvel movies
