I can see why the story, armor abilities, aiming down sights, no playable elites, no split screen, no new maps, and randomized permanent unlocks denture halo fans from this game but I kind of like somethings about this game that are cool like yap yap and all the weapons and vehicles. How do you guys feel about halo 5 and it’s impact of the halo franchise?
I thought the campaign was lacking. But from a MM perspective, the game was great.
Halo 5’s multiplayer is in my opinion the worst in the series by far, built purely from feedback provided by streamer sweats from the ground up. The focus was purely aimed at making it “competitive” rather than fun, and when that wasn’t enough some mechanics were changed to be convoluted and messy just to make certain functions harder to use because sweats said it was bad. That aside some people really did not like the campaign for a few reasons, the lack of focus on Chief, Locke vs Chief fight being a joke, the Created plot line, evil Cortana, Promethians still not being very fun to fight, misleading marketing. I don’t think the campaign was terrible but it wasn’t spectacular either. The saving grace of this game is the customs browser and the masterwork that is Halo 5’s Forge mode.
The idea of clamber and switching vehicle seats were cool. Like the person above me said its geared for pro players and the marketing was misleading.
The multiplayer of halo 5 is beautiful and it is the best implemented in the franchise, its playability is good and the new mechanics are great like climbing and the smart sights were something wonderful and I liked it a lot … that was the bad thing about its marteking it was very misleading and gave a pretty good game image that in the end it was just smoke, the only good thing about halo 5 is its multiplayer
I like the competitive aspect to halo 5’s multiplayer. I must be good at it if I have fun winning and losing. I see a lot in game reviews for games saying that a game is bad because of its player’s being toxic or really good at the game and I feel that that’s not the game’s fault, “hate the player not the game”. I can also see that if only a majority of the players are veteran players and you’re playing for the first time you might always getting matched with those skilled players. I say that’s what online is. You play with whoever’s online that day.
Really, the only things I hate more than everything else about this game are the Achilles armor set and the Timmy helmet. Who in 343 thought these were a good idea? The former is why I no longer enjoy PvP in H5 (in fact I do NOT trust virtually anyone who wears it), and the latter is why I believe Halo should not have any more cartoony elements like that.

I don’t know what the Timmy helmet is but I know the Achilles one. I have fun facing people with Achilles armor because I know they gained it through skill and not a random req pack.

Very cool combo 
EDIT OP: For me, H5 is a mix of good and bad. I feel a lot of the enjoyable stuff was undermined by poor decisions for another item. For instance, Warzone could have been the greatest big-team experience ever. But, the REQ system became a thing and took all that enjoyment away. Plus, all the menus are pretty janky.
As for the campaign, I love the environments and the gameplay suits the campaign very well. Music adds to the mood. But, the storytelling is severely lacking.
When the content updates came to a close, I figured we had a great foundation for H5 for years to come. It wasn’t perfect, but nothing could or needed to be altered to keep it working well enough. But, in came the Overtime Update and caused classic Arena modes to be unenjoyable.
The same pattern continues for basically everything about the game, but I highlighted a few of my pet peeves. I don’t hate H5 (otherwise I wouldn’t have played it as much as I have), but I was constantly disappointed with this yin-yang deal for everything. I hope Infinite does a good job like the classic games of making you love the game and not want to play anything else.

Thank you 
Because everybody has something to complain about. And nothing can ever completely satisfy everyone so back to my first point. Vicious cycle.
Why people dont like Halo 5:
- Some people maybe be a boomer, or can i say dont want to move on, and like bruh they want “classic mechanics” while some of the veterans of Halo may accept it but feels off.
- The campaign dont even bring any nostalgia when we played it again, it feels too easy to remember, bro i can remember every single missions and the gameplay when i hadn’t played it for like 2 months , maybe more.
- Slow matchmaking, i can’t play fasterrrrrr eventhough i put it on expand, i only like had to wait 10 minutes D:<
- “Advanced movement”
- The nerfed BR.
- No splitscreen ( the worst of the worst )
- Squadmates that are even more dumb than Kat in Halo reach, the AI act even more stupid than the marines in Halo CE nor Halo Reach. acting like useless spartans that dont even know how to helpl properly
- Bullet sponges and stupid AI, just because they are Buffed and more damage.
- MiCRo tRansAcTioNz, TheY acT lIke they dont really care about people who bought it with money with their own hard work, and they HAD to make them pay more, like bro , it takes money that must be earned and yey we get Halo 5, and then more buy things , like i feel i will be poorer because of the game :((( though we all know to save money, not buy microtransactions though, but hey watcha know it, ExcLuSive sTuFf only for MiCroTransactions, sure it helps their marketing but it also makes the game more un-fun than the other games for my thoughts ( srry 343 industries, this is my opinion :(()
- Etc. Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc.Etc. :))
