Why this game pisses you off(Where 343 went wrong)

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

OK, just to start, I love Halo 5. But it has its issues. This topic is made to let people dress them so 343i can fix it.

Now, for me, this game bothers me a lot. I feel that there is a sense of laziness on 343’s part on making the content they should make. They still don’t have race or infection in this game. Neither do they have any other essential things such as a UNSC flying vehicle in this game.

Campaign was decent in this game, but it wasn’t exciting. I actually enjoyed the Halo 4 campaign better, it had a greater story, longer missions, and more fun gameplay than just grinding the same boss like Warden Eternal over and over again.

People also take advantage of Warzone just to get achilles armor too much. It is cool to have an armor in the game in which you can only earn by playing the game, but people have exploited the game too much as by taking advantage of people and spawn killing.

There is also a lack of earning Reqs in this game. EARNING. Now it is all about being lucky and getting something in a req pack, as in the old days, you had to earn emblems and visors and stuff like that. Emblems shouldn’t be a thing that you can easily obtain in a req pack. It should be obtained by earning it. And yes, there are the ones that you do have to earn from commendations, but the emblems like the Stuck emblem does not have you to stick someone with a sticky grenade like it used to.

One thing that made me pretty mad was the Helioskrill. I earned that armor by beating all 4 halo campaigns on legendary on MCC. Yet, 343 had to make it so the armor was available in Req packs so everyone could get it. Really 343?

It makes me mad that 343 would drive a game like Halo into a place where 343 could make as much money as possible, when in reality the games that earn the most money are the ones that aren’t afraid to stand out and let the users and gamers have fun. By making this game about buying req packs instead of earning armors and stuff like that, it makes the game lose its fun. Now its all about grinding just to be able to buy a req pack. It reminds me of Destiny, and Destiny got boring pretty quickly (at least for me).

Also, where are the unique req variants in forge? I’d like to see weapons like The Answer in a forged map.

The main point is that there is a lack of diversity in what you are able to do in the game. It’s missing classic game modes, Juggernaut, race, Infection, etc. It also is missing its core values of being able to earn armors instead of being able to buy them off of a req pack. And this game is driving away its old community members because of the lack of old vehicles and weapons that made the game unique, and not look like a COD rip off. I’m not saying it is, it just can seem like it at times.

So, here you have it. I have more to rant about, but I will leave it to you. What about this game pisses you off?

To 343 Industries, please take this post as a chance to consider the values of Halo that should be placed in the game.

I pretty much only care about forge and customs. Late launch for forge, missing features, missing game modes, and bugs are driving me crazy. Whoever is in charge of custom games clearly doesn’t play custom games, which is a problem.

3

Spartan charge is my only issue

4

I don’t really get pissed off at video games. But the super sluggish REQ menu in game is just the worst.

5

You’ve pretty much mentioned everything numerous other threads mentioned as issues.

to the reqs, even though it’s rng, you’re still earning it with playtime, only difference is you don’t get to pick exactly what to work for.

To helioscrillwhatever it’s called: why not make it available to everyone? If you ask me exclusives should have no part in games, I’m sure many others would agree as well. Why should I pre order exclusives, pay extra money, ect ect just for an armour peice? It’s not exactly fair doing it that way and making it non exclusive gives everyone the chance to get it.

Also, I STRONGLY disagree about the halo/CoD comparisons, I could go on and on on many reasons but in the end that’s just my view of it.

I agree 100% tho h5 lacks in many things from lack of maps/gametypes to UI/post game medals and carnage, to a so so ranking system to bad implementation of social/ranked playlists, ect ect.

Why is exclusivity unfair? The people who have exclusive items did something that the rest didn’t do. It seems totally fair to me.

It doesn’t for me.
Speak for yourself m8

Lack of content to the Reqs, all that filler content they keep adding reminds me of playing an Assassins Creed, you start collecting everything, then more crap starts popping back up on the map you feel the need to go get. It is nothing more then filler to extend playtime for those who feel the need to unlock/collect everything by buying or earning it when we need maps/game-modes and a fully functioning social playlist.

9

But the game doesn’t piss me off, the salty part of the community on the other hand

10

What mostly pisses me off about Halo 5? The REQ system.

11

Lack of armor customization, along with the lack of just about everything else (with the exception of Forge)

12

Spartan abilities annoy me the most. That and the lack of social playlists.

13

Customization/Art style.
The plastic fake feel of the multiplayer is atrocious and really takes away from the realism of the game and don’t even get me started on the textures which seem to be on par with Combat Evolved textures, a game made 15 years ago. Add that to the power ranger armor and the ridiculous and implausible anatomy of the covenant and you get the worst Halo game in terms of customization and art style which is inexcusable given that the foundation for good art style is already there. What makes it even worse is that they KNOW Halo 4 was a severe down grade in terms of armor and the appearance of the covenant yet they pridefully insist on shoving their art style down our throats. Bring back the classic halo/reach style
End rant

14

Can we have at least one thread where we point out the positives about halo 5? So much negativity here

15

I also would like to agree about the art style and its plastic look. Halo Reach had a much better and more mature look.

16

The Lack of focus and effort given to BTB. And the nerf to all vehicles in the game. I personally blame the REQ system because 343 tried to replace BTB with warzone and I personally don’t like Warzone it is basically everything Halo 4 did wrong in BTB allowing people to spawn power weapons. having a tank doesn’t matter if you can just spawn with a spartan laser. Map control for BTB was very important where in Warzone you just camp in your spawn as much as possible because that is where you need to be making the game way easier win if you capture the middle in any Warzone map because that is where all the big point bosses spawn. While in BTB you will have to fight and re -earn those important spots where in Warzone you can just spawn there. But some people like it and that is their choice but 343 decision to not care about BTB is not good for the game at all

Than maybe Halo 5 should have more things about it that we can look at positively. :slight_smile:

18

Temporary weekend and weekly play lists are annoying in a game that is missing a variety of permanent game modes and play lists.

King of the Hill in BTB would be great. Permanently though.

What pisses me off abou Halo 5?
OP autos.
really crappy radar.
Radar in competitive playlists.
Horrible maps (mainly the DLC ones)
Crappy aiming.
No party restrictions for ranked playlists.

I think that’s it honestly.
Have less complaints about this game than I did Halo 4, so I guess 343 got a few things right.
