This will be focused on the multiplayer. Don’t even get me started on the Campaign which was my least favorite in the entire series and clearly changed during the development cycle…
The #1 thing that Halo did wrong? Launched in October. Halo should have came out last. It’s a AAA title that people will buy for the campaign alone (maybe not after this game)… Why the F*** would you come out before Call of Duty and Fallout? All my friends were like Halo! Then Call Of Duty and then Fallout! Now they’re either playing COD or back on Destiny. Halo should have taken it’s time and launched with more modes that people want. Aka big team, forge, FIREFIGHT, so many people complaining about firefight… Anyway.
What should have never happened:
The maps… they look so 3rd rate. Were these made in forge with randomly generated terrain? They sure play great but would it hurt to skin them a bit? The only attractive maps are Truth and Regret and they are based on a halo 2 map when attention to detail mattered. Hire a graphic designer you cheap fks.
Kill cams removed: Why? I would love a kill cam for those blasted campers. An option to skip the cam would be nice.
Team chatter removed: Why? I liked hearing enemy at blue base, etc. It made the game better. Everyone is always in party chat now instead of game chat anyway.
Wall Running… Why don’t we have this? Halo 6… I’m talking to you.
No split screen? That’s like 80% of the entire dynamic… playing co-op with friends, screen hacking, etc. Who has 16 tv’s in their basement? F* YOU 343.
What needs to be fixed / added:
The AR distance… This thing melts from a distance. No bien.
Pistol: By far my favorite gun at the moment but the range needs a nerf, it’s a secondary weapon, seriously.
The Battle Rifle: Narrow the spread cone. It should not be 2nd to the pistol. Just sayin. Give me a reason to pick it up.
Grenade blast radius. It needs to be bigger to compensate for thrusting. Halo’s frag has always been the best secondary weapon. It just feels nerfed now.
Radar: Why is it so useless? I’m getting assassinated and they aren’t showing up until the animation is happening? Make it bigger.
Match voting: Team rockets, battle rifle starts, etc.
Mayhem mode: Every other game now seems to have a mode of complete chaos. Can we get match made random weapons matches and insanely big radars?
team chatter is there, maybe you disabled it
grenade blast radius is already massive dude, like I feel you are joking on this point
radar - I agree
Match voting, I could care less and thank god because people like you would vote team rockets every game lol
battle rifle is better than pistol, you have every reason to swap it for pistol if you’re not a noob
AR is actually the best it’s ever been in Halo and I dig it, I actually use it now and again in tight corridors as it’s intended
maps suck, I agree with you
Wall Running, lol get outta here no thanks it’s lame in COD we don’t need any more gimmicks I think we’ve hit the limit here
kill cams were crap in halo 4, again this isn’t cod and they aren’t halo…glad they were removed and glad de-scoping returned, this is just 343i making the right decisions
no split screen, is my biggest complaint for sure, they got me to buy a second xbone which I’m not happy about
Launching before other games is not why people are playing the other games. Its because the other games have more content, which Halo is severely lacking rihgt now.

^This guy. Halo 5 got boring fast. It feels like it has no campaign. Just Warzone.

You have blown my mind, I disagree with all of this. It honestly sounds like you wanted Halo 5 to be less like Halo and more like COD. And I couldn’t be happier that Halo 5 plays differently than the other garbage shooters that came out this year. kill cams? really?

This is correct. Halo is not the big beast anymore - it should have delayed - possibly by a whole year to go up against a lesser COD than blops and to have time to develop more content to keep people playing. (And maybe to make a few more campaign missions too - with The Chief in!).
It is obvious that most of 343’s development time was on the engine, not the content of the game.
When the new engine couldn’t support split screen either, it was just adding to the pile of missing features.
wall running falls under “wouldn’t it be cool if…?” stuff that works great in campaign- think jetpack.
but really, more and more I want a halo game that is pure campaign. Create a character and work your way through the UNSC ranks until you reach Spartan. could be loot driven rpg like borderlands and destiny.
How about the fact they said they wanted halo to be a competitive esports shooter again and have -Yoinking!- promethean weapons that track. Takes zero skill. Halo will never be on the mlg circuit again for long.

MLG is partnered with Halo for the Halo Global Championships qualifiers in North America actually. ESL is taking over the EU side.
I never said halo wasn’t a part of mlg anymore. I just stated that I think it won’t last on the circuit like it didn’t in halo 4. Making your own esports league does not make it a competitive game on the level of halo 2 or 3. It only ensures that there will be tourneys in some capacity. I still think it isn’t as competitive as 3. Wayyyy more competitive than 4, but still bullet bending? Tracking auto weapons. Come on.
