What keeps you coming back?

I’m not sure why I keep coming back, but I do. I’ll be playing more when Firefight drops.

Friends, fun, competitive game, chaotic games of warzone, !!!FORGE!!!.

  1. Halo 5 is the only Halo game I’ve owned since launch, and played online at peak population.
  2. I’m a completionist.
  3. Can’t afford Overwatch.

I agree also halo

I liked the armour abilities and having set load out starts to choose from. The thruster was never my main aa plus the old one was better at evading. I liked to switch it up and use all kinds stopping it from getting dull. I just keep coming back to unlock stuff and never get any thing I wanted. I barely enjoy it.

  1. Yes, if we all spawned with rockets it would be balanced. It just wouldn’t be competitive Halo or have a large skill gap.

  2. That’s kind of the point of map pickups. The magnum is within the trade window with the DMR, and multiple tests have it at a slightly faster TTK. A map pickup SHOULD BE BETTER. Otherwise, why pick it up? But the magnum can beat a map pickup precision if the user has better aim. Except for a scoped in LR, which kills in 1.0 seconds.

As for the topic, I enjoy the gameplay and the grind. I love Warzone, and I love the people I play with. All I need are a few more gametypes and maps and this would probably my favorite Halo (depending on the quality of the maps and how well old gametypes play in the new sandbox).

This. I also like working on my commendations.

Are you kidding me?? I like Titanfall, but no way is it more balanced. I’m sorry but I don’t see how you can remotely say this… and like I said, I like titanfall a lot but no… just no. I think you need to play some sports or something… and see what competitive balanced gameplay is. Halo 5 has it flaws no doubt and it’s not my favorite game at all or anything but it is one of the most balanced games out there by far! Just go ask pro players, they agree even if they don’t like Halo.

I don’t play Halo as much right now, partly because of life, partly because I’m fed up with somethings they do. I love my Halo, but I’m tired of all these…questionable choices 343I seems to keep doing. It just makes me wonder if the people who work there even played Halo 1-3 sometimes. Also in case anyone is wondering, I’m not a halo 5 hater or a 343I hater. Just calling it like I see it.

i never came back, i played and stayed playing. But what motivates me to play is the competitiveness, the balance it has compared to cod and other games, and it’s plain fun, i mean infection, btb are amazingly great fun!

It’s the only one I could afford.
Jk, Halo 5 has by far the best gameplay and multiplayer (not just within Halo games). Campaign might be -Yoink- but multiplayer is so smooth and balanced and it keeps me wanting to get on and play with friends daily.
Hoping the firefight update will make it more epic.
All it needs is more content. More maps. More gamemodes.

to be one of the best also its hella fun

I just love halo, I’ve gotten all the armors and reqs I can get, but I still love to just play for fun.

Warzone keeps me coming back cuz I think its tons of fun. I also don’t go back to school for four months. Lots of Warzone game slated up for me.

same

I don’t like the competitive touch, but I like how smooth it can be played.

Warzone and max spartan rank.

Warzone lobbies, Custom Game lobbies, Grifball, and some FFA.

I got a helmet to grind for
