Playing Halo 5 made me realize: Destiny is better

I like Halo 5. Story was great. Multiplayer isn't too bad. Graphics in the cutscenes are great. But, having played so long, there's many things I took for granted in Destiny that really make it shine and make it the better shooter. -Every time I jump in Halo, I keep expecting to triple jump or warlock jump up to high places. - Every time I melee, I accidentally boost in a random direction due to green thumb controls. - Every headshot I make never seems to register, nor do they feel like headshots. In Destiny I know when I've gotten a headshot. - I keep trying to pull out my sparrow. - I keep wanting to pull out my ghost in general. - I mIss having my favorite weapons on me at any time. - Healthbars. Crit-spots. Just a few things that make me think that Destiny is much better at being a shooter than Halo 5. Don't get me wrong, Destiny isn't all-amazing, and Halo isn't bad, but just many things make me appreciate all the cool things Destiny has.

  • So just because you are too used to destiny, it's better? Im sorry but the only thing destiny has going for itself anymore is trials and the hard mode raid. I suck at trials so thats not happening for me, and i havent even attempted the hard raid yet because i heard its not even fun just annoying. Halo has much better graphics and better multiplayer. If you lag in halo its your internet because dedicated servers. Halo actually has a storyline and the new warzone gametype is so much fun. Im not trying to say destiny sucks or anything, it just doesnt have anything to keep my attention anymore...

  • As a ps user having played every halo up to 4. I had ps3 and xbox. I can say that it's my favorite franchise ever. The game is always gonna be good. But comparing halo to destiny is just unfair. Halo has 10 years of history backing it up while destiny has 1 and 1 month. Both of these games are similar as 343i and bungie are good friends.

  • Long time halo fan here. The pinnacle of the halo series were the first trilogy. After that it only got worse (at peast for me). After bungie abandoned halo 343 did a terrible job of continueing the series in my opinion. They are forced too much on what other shooters have instead of relying on what made halo originally special. I know i will get a lot of hatred for this but: halo became a lot like the newer cod games (cod 2 and 4 were beast. After that it got worse aswell)

  • Completely different games destiny is halos child only things that are similar is that they are space fps shooters. Halos pvp has been great for me and I've never had problems with controls. Destiny has been out for a year and the pvp is still broken and boring. Only thing I like about destiny pvp is rift and mayhem rumble everything else is just a reskin of death match. Halo has better maps and modes looks way better too. Destiny lacks many things that can only be fixed by a sequel made ground up for next gen. Nothing expansions or updates can fix sadly

  • Halo 5 is the first halo I'm skipping. Watching my son play it, it just looks blah.

  • I can only assume you haven't really played halo like that before. Ive owned every single halo game i think pvp is better in halo.

    • Claims destiny feels like a better shooter. Then mentions his inability to break a bunch of destiny habits. Most of which have nothing to do with an actual shooter. Right.

        • I was let down by the graphics in halo 5. It just doesn't look as good as I was expecting. I was blown away or surprised with halo 4 graphics so maybe I had too high expectations. Seeing things pop in and out in halo 5 in certain levels. Destiny in comparison looks heaps better, maybe it's because of the beautiful skyboxes. But I just keep thinking that destiny was designed for last gen and halo 5 was supposed to be a true next gen title. Halo games have never had the best looking games I suppose, halo 3 looked pretty average. Halo 5 does have really good pvp tho. But I think taken king story was more interesting...

          • I realized the exact opposite... Halo 5 is so much better imo. Balance exists in that game and every gun is viable. It's not "this is my gun and I'm never using another one."

            • Not really, you just play this shitty game way too much and cannot fathom a change of scenery.

              • You're complaining about controls??? 1) you can change them 2) that has nothing to do with Destiny being better

                  • I don't know man, I'm -blam!-ing loving Halo 5. The movement speed is nice and fast guns feel good and nothing is more fun than ground pounding someone from the air.

                    • Bungie basically started with Halo it was their baby from the start. Nobody could have taken the reins. 343 has done as good as anyone could of besides Bungie. Just my 2 cents

                        • The main reason I feel Destiny is better. There are many, many reasons to go back into the worlds of the game once you leave them after completing the storyline. I am new to Halo so the storyline isn't as dear to me as it is to some so I mainly only log in to PvP. After awhile, it just gets so boring. At least if I get bored of PvP in Destiny I have plenty of other options left to me.

                        • I've only played 4v4 but here's my impressions: no lag is the single most beautiful online experience. Destiny's connection is very second rate in comparison. Visually, halo has fantastic graphics, unfortunately that makes the overly simplistic design really stand out as an eye sore. I think bungi's attention to environment is far superior. While map layout is good for the most part, like 3 of the maps were wire frame simulation types - again with the simple - its rather boring. Destiny has a much wider variety of visually stunning pvp maps (but a years worth of dlc mind you). I think the movement and mechanics are solid and reliable, but a little slow for my personal tastes. When it works, destiny's gunplay is more exciting. I don't like the death animations in halo, destiny's make more sense to me. I could see how the weightless, rag doll, limb-twisting effect might appeal to certain players tho. Kills in destiny feel more gratifying, due to the copious amounts of visual, audio and haptic feedback. Seriously, you elbow a spartan in the face and damned if either of you felt it. I both love and hate the weapons and skills customization in destiny. The added depth contributes to a shakier balance... halo has less variables and more fairness. the amount of personalization in destiny is more appealing to me and adds greater replayability. But it might not be worth it to some players. I played a ton of halo 3 tho so I'm a little harsh on h5. Ultimately, my personal experience has been tarnished by nostalgia and expectations; and I am a little disappointed... Tl;dr halo 5 is fun but isn't pulling me outta the crucible much after all.

                          • I liked the story right up to the end in Halo 5,just when it was getting good BAM it's over,what a let down.3.5 hours for $60.The maps and cut scenes are great but they made the gun play "worse",feels like your playing drunk.I'd say 75% of my kills were from melee since using a gun was so impractical.
