What needs to be changed in Halo 5

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

My feedback
I play Halo since Halo 2 on Xbox, and it’s my favorite videogame franchise and probably will always be. Because of that, I just want to see it getting better and even more popular.
I played 11 hours of Halo 5 Beta and this is what I think (the list will get bigger)
Legend: (+) Pros (-) Cons (×) Suggestion

(+) The Beta really feels like Halo.

(+) Smart Scope looks like has always been a part of Halo. It’s great, but only if it stays as a better zoom. Everything needs to evolve.

(+) I liked the thruster pack, but not every game mode should have this.

(+) I like the stabilizer too, but not every game mode should have it.

—

(-) Spartans are war machines, and the Spartans IV talks like teenagers having fun while they are killing. I think that the personality of the Spartans IV could be changed because they’re not charismatic (I think the personality of the Spartans III was the best and more equilibrated). If that isn’t possible, at least take off the slangs. And a option to turn off is necessary (it’s useless when you are playing with friends).

(-) Medals that are announced (like Double Kill) should be rewards. There are too many of them.

(-) Spartan charge is useless. It just makes harder to do good assassinations.

(-) The announcer isn’t necessary. I think it should be replaced for only texts in the screen.

(-) Groundpound is really necessary?

–

(×) Playing as a elite was awesome in Halo Reach, and I think that all community would like to see playable elites again.

(×) When two Spartans try to melee punch at the same time that creates a conflict, a new movement is showed and the Spartans move away.

(×) When two Spartans are with the Energy Sword/Prophet Bane and they fight each other, that could create an sword fight like Reach.

(×) The game could have more animations (that don’t affect gameplay). More animations expands the “gameplay feeling” and could bring new people to Halo.

(×) Friendly Fire should get back.

(×) The game could have a option to change between first/third person in vehicles. I always wanted to see Halo vehicles in first person, and it could be easily a option, like in other games. This option could be available to assassinations too.

(×) The symbol that appears when you run could be smaller. It would be more beautiful elegant.

(Extra) Spire is one of my favorite Halo Reach maps, and a remastered version of it with 32 players on BTB would be awesome. But that is probably a dream because the map isn’t too balanced.

Elites will be back. I think they are working on perfecting them and making sure they don’t make unfair hitboxes and such, or they just don’t want to leave any hints to the campaign. Announcer is to stay, it has always been in halo, however the voice acting for him is annoying now, but oh well. Spartans talking… It may be a simulation like in Halo 4. That would explain that, but anyways even if it’s not, they want Spartans to have more humanity rather than silent sociopaths killing with not a single care. Ground pound and spartan charge are annoying, something needs to be done about them for sure. I’m 100% with you on the Spire and 1st person vehicles though.

I like all of it except the last three cons. It would be nice to be able to have a switch on the spartan charge, but not completely gone. Also ground pound is kinda fun when you actually get a kill, and could be used too get a certain armor reward or something. Also the announcer has been apart of Halo for a long time and it would just feel weird without him. Also one suggestion I would have is more armor customization like Halo 4 and having armor that is only unlocked by certain challenges, like Halo 4, although I’m guessing this is planned for the release.

I was talking about the walkie-talkie dude when I said announcer. Sorry, I made a mistake. I think that the armor customization of Halo 4 will be back. The Spartan Charge could at least don’t have a 1 second delay

I’d actually prefer the Reach armor customization, it felt kind of MMO like and kept me playing honestly.

They can have more humanity without being -Yoinks!- like the Spartans IVs. Like I said, the Spartans III had a good personality, not being 100% machines but not having 100% of humanity.
And I’m really glad that the elites are coming back.

I would like to add… I think the performance points should be based on your personal performance throughout a game. Whether you win or lose, as long as your K/D ratio is positive, you should perform positive. If you win, then that could be bonus performance points or something. It’s just weird how someone can carry a team and still end up losing performance points just cause their team lost.

Hi there 343i I am a long time halo player, I mean I’ve played halo competitive since halo 2 and still do to this day and have adapted to the changes.now then let’s get down to my opinions of the beta , halo for me was always about the gun fights and map control which halo 5 is doing good on with a few minors here and there , I don’t like how the ai call out when wepons respawn this takes out skill in knowing the time limits , I also don’t like how players like my self who play bumper jumper can not crouch up and down violently whilst in the air shooting to pull of that last headshot in a epic br battle with out the ground pound animation getting in the way and making me die, I think you should have the option to turn that of imo ,another set back in the multiplayer is the sniper it feels to heavy and strolls towards a cod sniper loosing it up a little , and lastly 343i I am a player that lives in the uk and this game is run on dedicated servers right ? So why am I playing on a U.S servers and not a server near my region it makes the game worst of than pier 2 pier because only one person had an advantage now every one from the U.S. has an advantage accept those who don’t live there so can u try and do something like a option to what servers you want to play on so us players in Europe can actually get some head shots that register this is by far the worst hit registration out of all the halos because it will find 8 players and 7 of them will live in U.S and one will live in the U.K say and that game will obviously connect to a U.S. server so that U.K kid will suffer in the game way more than normal I mean halo is built for the whole world I hope and not just for the U.S. so please can we have a option to what region of players and servers to connect as an option in the game so we don’t ruin are KDs when we want play the game at night when most of the Europe players are in bed ,but other than that 343i you are doing a good job on the game which I am looking forward to play when launched keep up the great work but remember to take on what the competertive players are saying this time. Thank you for taking time to read this 343i and the community I apologise for my spelling mistakes thanks again.

Post this on the official topic dude

Yes definetly bring back elites, the game feels boring without the diversity of species and because of this Iam not playing the beta as much as I thought I would.

Sword clashes do occur if both opponents have swords.

I agree with most of your list.
However I do have some things to add to your list:
Legend: (+) Pros, (-) Cons, (x) Suggestion

(+) I like the Hydra. It’s fun to use, but the lock-on time may be a bit faster (one second faster is already to fast, so a tiny bit faster).

(-) I’m not really a fan of the new rocket launcher design. It’s only an design, so it wouldn’t ruin the game if they stick with the new design, but I liked the old two-barreled rocket launcher better. It looked way more badass and it was really original, while the new design looks more like a real-life rocket launcher (which isn’t necessarily bad).

(x) Perhaps 343i could make a game type/playlist with ‘original slayer or CTF’, which removes the standard thruster pack and his abilities (spartan charge, ground pound, …) for the people who don’t really like it (I personally love it).

(x) I liked the Halo: Reach armor better, but I think that a combination of the Halo 2: anniversary armor and the Halo: reach armor would be great. H2A’s armor looks very futuristic (like H4’s) and Halo: Reach armor has the knife holder, shotgun of sniper rounds, pouches, which makes it more realistic. I find that the realistic-future combo works well with Halo.

my single biggest complaint is kill cams.
remove game kill cams, add in final kill-cam.
