Worst halo yet! Rant

Bungie or another company needs to take back over… 343 is destroying halo.
THE BUNGIE OF THE TIME THAT MADE HALO. Not the bungie today which most likely has different staffing and has disappointed the Destiny fans.

Note: I’ve never been bad at halo, always positive in KD. Also haven’t played destiny much at all but when Bungie was in charge of halo the games were on point. I have no idea where they stand now.

When I first started playing Halo 5 it didn’t even
look like halo nor did it feel like halo. There are so so many negative things I could say about this game and not nearly as many positives.
Firstly the req system. What is this -Yoink-? Out of all the options they could have used they chose the worst one? There is no reward for skill in this game, any item in the game is completely random. Talk about giving the finger to players who aren’t casual.
The Maps: Halo 5 has the worst maps of all halos. They’re tiny, thoughtless and poorly executed maps. Wanna play Social snipers? You’ll have to play on maps that are even too small for slayer. Of the larger maps, there are no angles. Headshots are extremely easy and are no challenge. Can’t tolerate a -Yoink- map? You’ll be penalized for leaving.

Spawns… Well every halo but I simply cannot tolerate spawning infront of someone’s crosshairs on a “large” map.
Head long on halo 2 was amazing, however 343 tried to remake it and no surprise… They just could not pull it off. It’s not even to scale.

Radar… What a joke. From what I’ve read and seen enemies who are dashing or using abilitys are the only ones appear. I’m still trying figure out the crouching crap… Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. If I can hear someone walking nearby my radar should be able to pick it up.
Halo 5…is their third strike.

And the sound effects seem like they’re from a 1970s sci-fi show.

I stopped reading right there. Bungie made Destiny and Destiny was an abomination of a game. I used to love Bungie, but they lost all my respect with Destiny. After what they did, I do not want them making Halo.

Bungie at the time of halo were in beast Mode. I have no interest in destiny so I’m unaware of how they’re doing but assumingly if bungie of the time kept with halo the series may not be the crap it is today.

Yeah but no one cares.

Agreed.

Hey remember when Halo was actually good and the story was easy to follow?

Your rant is bad and you should feel bad.

Yeah, Bungie had such a great launch with Destiny, not fixing glaring issues for months at a time (actually closer to 6 months), when guns weren’t balanced in one direction, they break it the other direction, guns that aren’t great in PvP are absolute Yoink! in PvE

Or the fact that they legitimately cut content from the game and sold it back s expansions, or if you already have the expansions and wanted TTK, you basically have to re-purchase the game all over again?

Or the fact that Bungie indirectly called their fans cash cows by saying that fans would be willing to throw money at the screen for emotes?

Or the fact that Bungie is cutting lots of old content for little new content, and is currently going through a drought right now?

Time to take off the nostalgia glasses there.

Where’s the scout warthog guy when you need him…

Forget about Bungie. I can’t forgive them for launching Destiny without a story. Didn’t feel like paying $80 to find out what the game was about.

But at this point I can’t blame anyone for being upset at 343. Across all 3 of their games, they’ve found a way to disappoint everyone. Not all at the same time, but I think we’ve all felt the pain of some of 343’s lackluster endeavors. Let’s take a look, shall we?

  • Halo 4 did no favors to the competitive community. The game was very casual oriented.
  • Halo 5 has solid mechanics and gameplay that has allowed the Competitive scene to make a comeback. But the game now lacks casual content
  • Halo 4’s Campaign showed a lot of promise for the future for Chief’s journey, but…
  • Halo 5 lacked time with Chief, and seemed to be very distant from a lot of Halo 4’s plot points. And Cortana’s “death” was made rather trivial.
  • Halo 5 launched with a lot of content missing that people expect from a Halo game. Namely, Infection, Grifball, and a PvE mode besides Campaign. Halo 4 had Spartan OPs at least to fill the void of firefight.
  • Halo 5 still has no dedicated File Browser system. Something present in both Halo 4 and Reach.
  • Halo 5 lacks more in depth armor customization like Halo 4 and Reach.
  • No dev made BTB maps. They launched the playlist with maps made in less than a day by community members using an incomplete version of forge. Ouch.
  • 343 sometimes says things they don’t deliver on. They said we’d have black undersuits right? Nope.
  • I don’t think I need to explain why MCC was disappointing.

Don’t get me wrong. 343 has done their fair share of good. But I’ve spent so much time defending them, and sometimes I feel kind of betrayed. Or at the very least, a bit disillusioned with Halo these days. Halo is part of what defines me as a gamer. I couldn’t imagine playing other games without coming back to Halo every now and then. It hurts to see that 343 has fallen short with Halo in so many ways. At least the population is doing well enough. I noticed that Halo 5 was back in the top ten most played games on Xbox live a couple weeks ago. So Halo definitely isn’t dying.

Bungie made the final boss in Destiny’s core story a giant black blob. Say what you will but that is far worse that what 343 did with Cortana. Well, maybe only a little worse. It’s definitely lazier.

But, you don’t understand. That wasn’t a blob. It was the Black Heart. It only looks that way because… uh… Well, it uh, represents the darkness. And… uhm we need to destroy it because it, uh… You see, these statues get turned into machines by it. And…

Hm.

they already destroyed the franchise. I’m not buying H6

I used to be one of those people that defended 343 on a daily basis, that is until H5. I don’t acknowledge H5 as a Halo title and I refuse to refer to it as such. I absolutely love Halo it is my all-time favorite game franchise, but I can’t just sit idly by and watch 343 destroy what used to be an amazing series. I said this multiple times I do not hate 343, but they can’t make Halo games to save their life, now I don’t think bringing Bungie back would be a good decision either, they’d rather fill their pockets with money than their games with content. I will always come back to Halo, but as far as I’m concerned Halo Reach was the last Halo (that is unless 343 somehow makes a good Halo game in their likely short time with the series).

At least Cortana did something, for better or for worse.

The giant black blob was literally only relevant for that mission and that mission alone. It didn’t even solve the actual problem.

How is Bungie still better? They ignored their fanbase, made a horrible game, and made stupid unnecessary DLC. Yeah, Halo 5 didn’t exactly have a spectacular story, but at least Halo 5 HAD A STORY, unlike Bungie’s boring, pointless and repetitive “missions” if you can even call it that. Plus, Halo 5’s multiplayer is ACTUALLY FUN unlike Destiny’s repetitive raiding system. The old Bungie was infinitely better than it is now and right now 343 is far better than Bungie.

lol what even was the actual problem? The world may never know. I mean honestly what even is the Darkness? Why can’t I do something as simple as have a chat with each character in the tower to learn more about them and the world I’m in. Halo 5 isn’t even an RPG but it had moments in its Campaign where you could walk around and talk to people to gain more knowledge about the story and the world you were in. smh

I don’t know about worst Halo game, because Halo 2 was pretty terrible. Multiplayer filled with glitches and campaign was meh besides the city maps, only because it was something new.
