halo 5 pros/cons
Post your opinions. Explain what you think could be better, what you love, whatever.
I'm mostly ok with the game but one thing
for me it's the lobby system... Worst trash ever.
I can cope with other flaws but whoever designed the lobby needs to be fired and banished from the gaming industry forever.
edit#1(for a bit of clarity)
>It's out of sight and in order to see who is in the lobby I have to go into a separate screen unless I'm sitting in the arena menu but In order to do anything with the players in the lobby you have to use the separate screen
>It doesn't have the quick access as it did in the other halos where you just hit right on the stick and scroll to whoever and open up the actions to promote/boot, mute or just look at stats.
>It's not hard to use but it's a huge downgrade compared to the other halo games.
It's similar to the old ones but it's detached and missing features.
Edit #2
If you are going to say "everything" or anything along the lines of its all terrible please explain.
Edit #3
Here is good list put together by OddBallWolf
and a lot of people said some of these.
[quote]Ok, real opinions here;
My Halo 5 review:
Pros:
- I like the aspect of Spartan teamwork in campaign
- Enemy AI is smarter and less annoying
- The Covenant looks great
- Warzone is decent
Cons:
- Story spends far too much time with Locke
- Ads had a better story than what was in the game
- Ending was jarringly bad
- Spartans are now superheroes, no longer mortal human beings
- Graphics and art style are bad
- Everything about the UNSC looks ugly now
- Spartan customization has been dumbed down for no reason
- No split screen
- No forge
- No Spartan ops or firefight
- Still no Hornet
- REQ system sucks
- Microtransactions are completely unnecessary and obviously a cash grab
- Blue Team characters are underdeveloped to those who haven't read the books
- Lobby system is bad
- Poor spawning in many gamemodes, namely warzone
- Traditional big team battle is gone
- Invasion still hasn't returned in the traditional sense
- Elites have still not returned
- Fellow Spartans are braindead when it comes to AI
-No oddball[/quote]
Of course some people and me may not agree 100% but this is basically how the game is viewed.

My pros are Warzone is awesome. I love every second of it Arena is the most competitive halo experience since 3 gameplay is good. I like the soundtrack. My cons are Story was disappointing to me. Too short, not enough chief, and a cliffhanger. Holy mother of grenades Spawns can be really bad sometimes, especially in swat. New art style isn't very good imo Ranking system is a little broken, my friend when 6-4 in his placement games, got put in diamond. Overall I like the game, but it definitely could be improved.

Multiplayer Pros -smooth gameplay, fast paced but still enough halo in it. - very competitive -warzone is a pretty cool mode -pretty much every gun feels useful in some way -best balance I've experienced with slayer starts in a halo game. -loving some of the maps -orion is gone Cons -nade spam leading to too many "wtf" moments. - too competitive. Where the hells social slayer? Ranked is awesome, but we don't [b]always[/b] want to play it. - spawns aren't all that great on some maps -power weapons seem too abundant. - ranking systems lame. What's the incentive to even go further once you reach that [b]instant[/b] onyx gratification? It's definitely not the equivalent of reaching 50, so why are people content? I feel like switching back to numeric rankings with [i]maybe[/i] special leaderboard brackets would be sweet[spoiler]even if I don't reach high, the progression is entertaining and more balanced[/spoiler]...or, everyone starting at bronze working up to onyx and champion. This really balances out rankings imo. And get rid of monthly resets if it goes back to that....this 10 match placement thing....I don't care much for it, becauze it looks like it doesn't fully works...and stating in a month the rankings will make more sense...actually doesn't make sense either.

My biggest con: Warzone scoring in regard to bosses. Lets say my team takes an ultra down to nothing and some scrub shoots it once at the right time and they get 150 points??!!! Thats stupid. Ultras should still be 150 points; however, the percentage your team takes it down say mine did %90 damage then we get 90 points. Your scrub gets 10 + 50 for the kill. So we still get more points, 90 to your 60. Something like that.

1 ReplyEdited by blacksteez: 11/10/2015 10:03:04 PMkill stealing in ffa. its kind of ridiculous when someone comes in and gets one shot off on a target ive gotten 99% health down and takes the kill away. i was up 24-19 in a ffa and the second place guy takes 6 kills (in a row) from me and wins. oh and the radar is useless because the moment you see a red dot on the map its too late because the opponent is within punching distance from you. why even have the radar lmao covenant maps are absolute garbage. the moment youve spawned theres already some idiot aimed at you with a fuel rod cannon spawns are jacked up

Edited by IMAGE NOT FOUND: 11/10/2015 9:40:33 PMCons - campaign far too short and poorly written. Master chief sidelined in his own game. Warzone motion tracker almost useless. Some poor warzone spawn points. Multiplayer aim a little off Pros - campaign gameplay good. Warzone. Overall, most enjoyable halo in years, despite its flaws
-
6 RepliesLegendary being to easy. I flew through this campaign on legendary solo in 8-9 hours.

4 RepliesBiggest complaint is that all the maps are so damn small. (Excluding warzone obviously, but that has REQ'S involved). They all feel the same to me, as opposed to maps playing differently in other halos.

2 RepliesEdited by Vgnut: 11/9/2015 8:04:50 AMThere are a lot of problems with the campaign. I haven't touched the other stuff yet so I can't comment. I think this sums up how devoid of ideas 343 is when it comes to Halo: They padded the game out with the same boss fight over, and over, and over, and over in what was one of the laziest development decisions I've seen in a long time. The game is weighed down by its own lore. The story comes across like something you'd read on FanFiction.net during the height of Halo's popularity. You would think 343 would have learned this with Halo 4 but apparently they're going to double down on this. These games are made for the most hardcore players that digest every bit of Halo EU. That's one of several reasons why Halo games aren't as popular (and continue to decline in popularity) as they once were. The soundtrack is horrendous. If I was Microsoft I'd be throwing money at Marty O'Donnell to do the music for Halo 6. During what was supposed to be the climax of the story (which was pretty lame) I don't think I heard any music. Lame. Stale. Out of ideas. No excitement. Cringe level story. That's how I'd describe Halo 5's campaign. Just compare the cliffhanger ending to Halo 2 with Halo 5. Think about the music, the build of excitement, the sheer badass final line of "Sir, finishing this fight" to "It took you long enough." Maybe if you're game was more interesting I'd have finished quicker. Halo 3 - [i]Finish the fight[/i]. Halo 6 - "You played through Halo 4 and Halo 5 so you might as well finish this trilogy I guess" Combat was pretty solid. Would be better if there were some interesting engagements. That vertical stuff was the sole standout moment from the game. Overall the quality of Halo over the last few years has taken a huge nosedive. This was a franchise that hit its peak from 2004 to 2008 and plateaued from then to the 2012 - 2015 period. 343's two Halo games are nowhere close to being decent next to Bungie's first three Halo's.

My pros/cons: Pros: Splitting mp into arena style and a more carefree war zone. Customization has lots of (rnged unfortunately) options. Lots of different online modes. Campaign is lengthy and incorporates a lot of the canon. Coop with 3 others is the best way to play. Cons: Ally Spartan AI are terrible, which makes coop almost a must. Character development on blue team is weak. The story is definitely the middle of a trilogy (just the rising action, no ending). Lack of big team, forge and oddball hurt but 2 of those are being released this month.

Cons: -bad ranking system -banned for bad connection at times Pros: -mostly the rest
