So…this is probably something that has been touched on by other gamers so I’d like to be another angry gamer to throw his 2 cents in. Basically all I want is a legitimate answer to my question. Don’t care for your opinions. I want to know why, WHY, 343 took the basic parts of what made the Halo series so great and dumped on it with the release of halo 5. It wasn’t enough we were sold a game with an incomplete story line, and it wasn’t enough that you took the options for split-screen (co-op or vs), but you throw into the mix that I can’t even board basic enemy vehicles in WWFF, even though it will give you a prompt to board the vehicle, the game simply won’t allow it. It’s not halo anymore. It’s Call of Duty. I understand not being able to board boss vehicles, but if I somehow manage to get close enough without dying, I deserve to board the damn vehicle at least to have the option of shoving a grenade in it. So between this, and the lack of co-op (which has been the best part of the Halo series), I’m livid. So…at this point I’m demanding to know why? Why is it like this and why isn’t it something that is fixed with an update?
Then tell me why I should continue to waste my time and money buying your merchandise. If you’re not gonna make a game that stands out from the rest of the FPS games, (which halo was) why bother making them at all? Halo is becoming a running joke amongst the gaming communties now. STOP PUTTING LIMITATIONS ON THE GAMERS THAT DIDN’T EXIST BEFORE!!!
PS. WHEN DID THE SPARTANS FORGET HOW TO DUEL WEILD AND WHY?
that is all have a blessed day.
#1 Halo has changed in gameplay and mechanics in every game…#2 you can’t board enemy vehicles in warzone firefight because they want you to use your reqs ( you can board your or other spartans vehicles if they get jacked to jack them back). #3 split screen was removed so H5 can maintain 60fps. #4 dual wielding was removed because it really created weapon balance problems. What makes Halo better than other franchises is the changes. You have to learn new tactics and game play. Sorry it’s not the same game repackaged and resold to you each year like other franchises do. The story line of H5 isn’t that bad. A lot of the post H4 stuff was wrapped up in outside media. Which is also what makes Halo pretty cool, it’s more than just a game. There is books, movies, comics, etc…
Oh and your shields no longer recharge while sprinting was added as a way to balance out sprint. You don’t get rewarded if you are running from a fight.

Let me be clear…everything you just said, nobody asked for. Removing the ability to board a vehicle because they want us to use REQs isn’t a valid exscuse …you could have easy responded with “because money” and it’s the same excuse. As far as mechanics changing from game to game, it was to originally make the game better for everyone, not shifting it in favor of the system A.I. the same rules should apply from gamer to A.I. if the A.I. is running at me theres no way it can shoot me as accurately as they do. Same rule apply for me. Same rule should apply, if I’m in a vehicle i shouldn’t be robbed of my freshly dropped REQ because the A.I. isn’t bound by the same rules I am. FIX IT! At least make it so the same rules apply to everyone. That’s fair battlefield balancing. So far at every turn the enemy has the upper hand and I either have to blow my paycheck to get REQS OR GRIND.
As far as the weapon balancing due to duel wielding is another piss poor excuse because as far as I can see, Call of Duty doesn’t have that problem and all the weapon tuning they do in Halo 5, no reason thy can’t bring duel wielding back, granted this is small in my complaints and j can do without it.
My big issue is the lack of co-op. Let me be clear, EVERY HALO HAD IT. so telling me that a decrease in FPS is NOT an exscuse, it wasn’t an issue before. If it is even remotely a concern it’s because the game system itself is flawed and no one wants to admit it, probably because it’s like that on purpose. Point is, you’re gonna have they ONLY franchise left that held out co-op split screen, and they took that away. It’s sad to see halo fall in with the rest of the “in-crowd” games where split screen as been outdated and ruled out as obsolete. I prefer to hand someone my other controller and play along side them rather than play with people I don’t know. Fix it.
This isn’t a hard concept because everything that is quoted above can be summed up as “money”. “We want money so buy our unfinished games, our REQS.” which if anyone stops and thinks for a second, they are spending their money on nothing, NOTHING! I.E. WHEN YOU PAY 10.00 FOR A REQ YOU AREN’T PHYSICALLY BUYING ANYTHING, YOU’RE BUYING DATA, WHICH AT THE END OF IT WHEN YOUR WALLET IS EMPTY YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT.
thankfully I’ve never spent a dime on REQS and never will.
We as gamers deserve better than this and rolling over and just accepting it shouldn’t even be an option.
The fact that any gaming corporation thinks that this is okay is disrespecting the gaming communties as well as creating a certain amount division between the gamers.
You cannot, CANNOT complain or make an argument about weapon balancing when you sell REQS with augmented weapons it doesn’t hold up.
Especially, in most cases, you have people who just buy a metric ton of REQS with their parents card when others work for theirs and call it balance. Someone give me a better reason than the last guy.

This may sound crazy but trust me it works… You can get req packs by using these things called req points…yes req points are earned every game in multiplayer and can be exchanged for packs. Also you get daily win packs fro warzone, Warzone firefight and arena. You also get packs for finishing commendations (gold packs for the Warzone firefight commendations) and achieving different Spartan ranks. Why does everyone harp so much on packs can be bought with money? So what? It’s not hard to earn points and get packs. The reqs weapons and vehicles only are used in warzone. Don’t like them play in the arena. Also it comes to the changes how do you know what players asked for? I don’t remember being asked by anyone for what changes j want during any Halo game development. Halo has always brought changes some good some bad. COD doesn’t have a balancing problem with dual wielding because their time to kill is so short. Hit some on once in the toe and they are dead… It takes more to kill a Spartan.

Don’t talk to me like an idiot I’ve been playing the game that’s how I know it’s completely jacked. Yet again it’s your option and I wasn’t asking the community the question was directed to the people who take my money and give me something that is to me is unacceptable as a game. I’m not saying the new features are bad, just don’t take away the aspects of the game that made it good. That is the argument.
When you say you aren’t interested in other’s opinions or that you don’t care what the community thinks I tend to feel you aren’t interested in discourse. If you’re not interested in a discussion, than I don’t see the need for this to be a thread. This is a forum. A place where we share ideas and opinions and give feedback ideally in a constructive manner. Without discussing our opinions with others and being willing to hear them out (even when we disagree) it’s utterly pointless. There are existing threads for most of the things you mentioned. If you want to have an actual discussion with the other members of the community give those threads a read and contribute there.
