What would you give Arena out of 10?

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

For me I would give it a 7/10

my personally reasons why i give it a 7

Rader (Sucks bad)
Grenades
Spartan Charge
Spawns
Maps (I dislike Molton, Stasis, Riptide and Torque)
Breakout (Completely ruined)
Modes (Oddball and KOTH not added to Social, with Snipers, triple team and Shotty snipers that should have been permitted a long time ago)
Gun registration (Can be very BS sometimes)

Good

free maps (well only 2 i like that were free)
making old game modes better in halo 5 (infection)
Hidden Jump spots

But these are my personally reason i would give Multiplayer 7/10

what would you give it out of 10?

(P.S no hate towards my reasons)

I think 7/10 sounds about right. (Arena makes me think Ranked Playlists)

For myself, I dislike Radar as well as it is far far too small. I am okay with the nades, spartan charge & spawns (they all can be super frustrating though).

The maps I’m indifferent about, but I wish there was the ability to vote/veto. Also I dislike the pre-game lobby.

Breakout is horrible in my opinion and doesn’t belong and should never have been a thing before Team Snipers. Just think about how much development time they spent on it and not things which have always been a part of Halo.

I’m mostly okay with the current social playlists, however it took far too long for most of them to exist.

Id give the Social Playlists an overall 7/10 also

I would only give warzone like a 4-5/10 though as I believe it is a failed gametype. The best part of it was WZ Turbo and they cant even make it exist again…

Arena is really the only reason I do come back to play. It’s just the best place to get competitive games.

its not perfect by no means, the gameplay itself still carries issues. Spartan charge is an annoyance but so are the abilities in general, they effect map design to much. I don’t mind the radar and I actually like it in its current state, however for team arena itself I’d prefer they remove it completely. The radar gives out free information and does so much wrong that makes me have this stance. The current version at least only shows when someone is directly on you.

The maps will be hit and miss, some play well, some not so well, and the spawning system doesn’t help. I don’t mind the looks if a map like some, I just care about how they play rather than aesthetics.

There’s still game modes not included as well, no oddball, king of the hill, regicide, list can go on. What 343 could’ve done is lessoned the playlist numbers while also adding in some if these modes into the playlist.

The ranked modes themselves need removed. There’s no need for ranked swat or the current break out, id even argue free for all as well. That leaves just slayer, TA, snipers, and doubles being the only ranked modes.

social just needs reworked with more modes being included. Add oddball and king if the hill to team skirmish(which I view as the objective playlist), super fiesta could be moved to action sack, I also think shotty/snipes should be added to multi team.id remove slayer from skirmish and make a slayer variant playlist with regicide, slayer, head hunters, VIP, could even add Viesta to this as well, etc etc.

honestly there’s a lot I think could be done differently and we all have our own perception on how it should/could look.

I don’t know really. All I can say is it works, meets my needs somewhat, but does still have room for improvement. 6/10 I guess.

When you say Ranked Arena I say 7 out of 10 simply because the matching system does not work correctly.
I hate being the team of Gold players facing Diamonds and Onyx.

5 out of 10. Reasons for so low? Most Spartan abilities (except thruster pack and clamber), the poor, exploitable matchmaking system, matchmaking a team of randoms vs a full premade team (it is fairly rare and hard to distinguish, but I’ve had it happen a couple of times), along with a variety of repetitive maps, fast gameplay, and a variety of playlists that the majority of them boil down to ‘kill the enemy’ (I would like to see one or two more true objective playlists without having to resort to the mayhem of social.) I also dislike the radar distance (a bit too short for a game with Spartan charge) and grenade spam.
