Forge(better than ever)
Railgun
Mantis
Gungoose
Phaeton
Hydra(love it for some reason)
Some maps too.
Being able to switch seating in vehicles is pretty cool. I like the Hydra a lot. Weapon balance is pretty good (autos are still too powerful though). I like Ground Pound, and think it’s a good addition to the sandbox that doesn’t really break anything else (cough* sprint cough*). I like Warzone as an idea, I just don’t think the REQ system works well at all. Forge is amazing, obviously.
But those are all generally small things. A gamemode here, a new mechanic there. The big things are what Halo 5 gets wrong. First, Sprint, I know, I know. This has been gone over time and time again. Second, Art Style. It just doesn’t “feel” like Halo. It’s too… different. Why do all the little things need to be changed. Why does Mark VI need to look different? Why does the BR? The Pelican? The Storm Rifle? What is this abomination? I think you get the picture. Lastly, tone. Halo, to me at least, used to be about fun. Nonsensical gametypes, witty and funny dialog, and over the top set pieces. It was not a love story about a man and his AI. It was not a hyper competitive multiplayer experience where playing with your friends is discouraged because they aren’t as good as you. It wasn’t made frustrating on purpose because “HCS”. It welcomed everyone, and allowed you to do whatever you wanted. 343i don’t seem to get that.
Forge for sure.
I love how they are implementing more of the past before everything weve seen like they did in 4
- The EU stuff 343 is putting out is great. - The partnership with Mattel creating the BoomCo Halo guns. - 60 FPS is nice. - Halo 4’s story was wonderful. - The railgun is awesome. - The gungoose in H2A is fantastic. - Weapon skins are… interesting.
I like the overall control you have in Halo 5. Clamber is just super.
For me 343 did good and bad thing. For example i like Halo CE and Halo 2 anniversary. I like Halo 4 strory but it is boring becasue it doesn’t require skill or technique to beat the game even on legendary. In Halo 5 i like the Warzone and the Spartan abilities they add but i hate the Style Art of the game. Why they changed it? Why they din’t just like Halo 2 anniversary which I believe it is awesome. Master Chief looks great but vehicles, marines and weapons they look so weird. That’ s why a lot of people say it doen’t feel Halo. Halo 2 anniversary it 's the best looking i think. They added new think who are great but they changed the basic thing of Halo ART STYLE, so i agree with
Luke Pawlowski.
Warzone. :v
I may be in the minority her but here my list:
Gungoose
Warzone
Warzone FF
Sprint
Clamber
Descoping
Making the SMG actually useful
Smart Link
Assuming it is what we think it is going to be, the custom game browser is a very welcome addition to this game.
Probably the multiplayer in general…

They havn’t introduced too many new characters which are really noteworthy though, nobody even comes close to Halsey or the Arbiter etc. although the didact and exuberant witness, now they are cool. Also the Halo 5 story I’m not a fan of, I don’t like Cortana as a villain.

Thing is is that she knows EVERYTHING, everything about the UNSC, about everybody. She knows what buttons to push on what person. The domain has made her powerfu, and ontop of that her desire to have The Chief makes her even more psyco. Its like the ultimate twist, take a hero, a beloved character and turn her into something she would normally fight and then pit those close to her against her. We think she died, the characters think she died, but no one could have anticipated that she would find the domain and be reborn in a way

Yeah I agree. I particularly love Fiesta when they throw in all those weird variations of existing weapons. Where did all that crazy stuff come from?
I mean come on, SAW with exploding bullets? Delicious!
I’ve always wanted to see weapon modification on Halo weaponry, so I guess that’s pretty cool.
- gungoose (interesting concept to it) - multiplayer in Halo 5 is better (than in Halo 4)… much of its problems comes from bugs, glitches, poor UI, and AI (by this I mean programming that controls matchmaking, system, hitboxes & whatnot) for the system. 343I mastered that but lacks more fundamental skills and storytelling technique - hydra and plasma caster (though I miss grenade launcher and plasm launcher :’( - Mantises - Regicide - H2A - H:CEA - what else?
I think Warzone should be unlockable loadout weapons, like 4. -Yoink- the reqs. Although, the way they got away with reqs in WZ was to promote the game mode. Making people work for their unlocks again would see a drop off in population due to no one wanting to work the unlock system due to other players having more -Yoink- to work with. Kills the casual crowd. I’d say make WZ the way to unlock upgrades and armor and maybe throw in something usable in arena. Keep WZ beneficial to the game while allowing a req’less system.

Nah.
Warzone ! Not lag at all ! It’s so COOOOOOOOL
These are my personal things i love that they have added.
- The Saw
- All the new spartan armor
- finally got to fly the pelican and i LOVE the wasp
- THEY BROUGHT BLUE TEAM INTO THE GAMES( LINDA IS MY BAE)
- I love warzone
- we got to see elite homeworld and play on it
- Spartan abilities that make you feel like a spartan minus the ground pound
- A more in depth look at the forerunners
- the re-designed MC armor
- all the different variants of weapons and vehicles
- a lot of the new maps are really fun
- Gungoose
- Mantis
those are just the ones off the top of my head
Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer because it felt like the Halo I know and love. Though certain affinity may have been behind that. I don’t really remember. Halo 5 forge is good too (even if it was late). I can’t think of too many things that they have done that I actually like.
