How's Halo 5 from the perspective of other lifetime Halo players?
So I'm a lifetime Halo player, started fresh from 1/ce and played each and every one as they came out. But when Halo 5 came out, I was thinking to myself "Well goodness, 4 was bad enough, and I really don't want it to med like this..." I've watched a couple streams and noticed how some things looked "iffy," and it raises my concerns because I've also heard plenty of backlash, and on the other hand some good things.
Halo 5 players: if you could, I'm posting some things below I've heard tossed around, and would like to be confirmed.
-Campaign is very short and contains several plot holes, fewer if you read the books.
-Most armor you acquire from the req packs is actually very solid looking/good looking.
-Multiplayer is a little cod like, yet also represents how Halo 4 should've turned out.
-Ai's are absolute garbage.
-Game has microtransactions.
-Forge has tons of opportunities for great map making (please confirm this!!)
-Game is tended to on a decent basis by 343/Microsoft
-Campaign ends on a cliffhanger
if you could please answer those that'd be great.
Practically what I'm trying to say, is I've heard many things about Halo 5 that I could only prove through either asking Halo 5 players or playing it myself.
TLDR: Just a Halo player concerned about Halo's fate being sealed at 5.

Best Halo since CE. Been playing Halo since 2001. The hype around the Halo Championship is proof that the Spartans have returned and they are here to set standard in pvp. Haters will B!tch if they were hung with a new rope.

1 ReplyWorse halo game ever. Played Halo since '02 and only managed half hour on h5.

Story was a bit underwhelming, but the multiplayer is absolutely phenomenal!

Thought it was solid.

It is adequate

Been playing Halo since 2002. Love every game. Halo 5 has my favorite MP, and least favorite campaign.

Halo was the reason I got an xbox. Primarily as playstation person. But halo 5 couldn't get me to buy the xbox one. Surprisingly enough though. Halo wars 2 has more of an appeal than halo 5. Although I'm glad it's being released on pc as well.

From a gameplay perspective its great. It feels like halo at its core, whilst adding an extra layer to gameplay, as opposed to changing it entirely. From a story point of view, I feel like that story was decent if a little short. The main problem I have is that it doesn't quite have the same atmosphere as the other games, and I think that stems from the forerunners being fleshed out, Humanity no longer being the underdog, and most importantly, the lack of a halo ring. [spoiler]The lack of Johnson also hits me pretty deep[/spoiler]

The campaign is short if you just sprint through it without exploring. Each level has many different paths and hidden locations. Yes it does bring in the EU a lot, but if you are a fan and not a player you should be reading the books anyways. -Most armor you acquire from the req packs is actually very solid looking/good looking. Depends on what you like, but there is something for everyone. -Multiplayer is a little cod like, yet also represents how Halo 4 should've turned out. Not COD like at all and feels most like Halo 2 with faster movement. -Ai's are absolute garbage. They are decent. Not the best but not garbage. -Game has microtransactions. Yes to pay for free DLC and they don't help very much. -Forge has tons of opportunities for great map making (please confirm this!!) Oh yes. Most versatile and largest Forge to date. -Game is tended to on a decent basis by 343/Microsoft Yes. 343 has done good with tending to it. -Campaign ends on a cliffhanger Yes it does, but it isn't a bad cliffhanger by any stretch. MUCH better than Halo 2. [/quote]

Forgettable.

As someone who's a story fan, and not particularly interested in PvP, it was a let down. There were several plot holes that actually widened when compared with the knowledge you get from reading all the books, the story was approached from an angle that just didn't make me care, and the setup to the last game was the only thing that made me lift an eyelid. The campaign feels dry.
-
11 RepliesYes to every one except the one about cod. The only thing that makes halo 5 similar to cod is sprint.

It's crAp waste of money traded that garbage in 1 week later

4 RepliesFor the most part, you're pretty much correct. Though it's all subjective, Halo 5 (for me) is a terrible game and an even worse "Halo" game. Nothing about it says "Halo" to me. In fact, it killed my Halo boner and I won't be buying another product from 343 industries. All I have left are the anniversary titles and Halo Wars 2, which 343 doesn't even make, thankfully.

8 RepliesEdited by f3: 2/2/2016 2:34:06 AMCampaign & story is garbage. Multiplayer can be fun, sort of, but after a while you realize it's just a grenade fest. Req system is retarded. Paid DLC would be better than that RNG bullshit. Also, grenades. They've been a problem forever, but it's so much worse in this one. Also, legit all the armor is -blam!-ing disgusting. 343 has real shit art design.
-
I love everything about that game and the story was absolutely spectacular. It may help that I was into the book series, but I feel I would have enjoyed it without having read the lore.

Campaign is the worst Multiplayer arena is meh Warzone is great (MLG MARINES FORCE BLAZING 420 NO SCOPE) the targets are a little dumb sometimes, in the campaign AI is... They just watch you and when you go down... Well this happend to me: trying to kill the warden then a grenade kills me and send me flying "blue team I need help" the AI just walk to revive you no need to rush let's just walk oops, he's dead, another thing that happend a lot was when it was about reviving it's Buck: cames out of nowhere charging everything in his way, MLG WHAT A PRO "don't worry I got you" I miss the days when you give a rocket to a marine he will destroy everyone, also aim for the head and when I give an order to someone grab a rocket seems like they never use, I think they wanted to keep the marines OP The armor is good but the only way of getting it it's random... Random... Bad luck... Yeah The forge... F*ckng awesome, nothing more needs to be said

1 ReplyBad campaign, amazing multiplayer and forge.

I've been playing Halo since I was little, I've played every single Halo besides Spartan Assault. I dislike Halo 5 terribly... I like Halo 4's story but the multiplayer is trash. Halo 5 is boring all around.
-
4 RepliesI don't like the multiplayer feel, nice but not halo
-
3 RepliesI love the multiplayer but the Arena maps are awful except for Empire (and it's remix) and Truth. I don't know what is it with 343 and these claustrophobic maps designs. It also needs Action Sacks. Weekend playlists were kinda lame. Warzone is awesome but it's leaning heavily on Pay-to-Win. You don't notice it at first because you level up quickly and go through the basic commendation but when you achieve higher levels, REQ packs become scarce and grinding for points takes long. Takes 4-5 Warzone matches to get 10k. Arena give worthless amounts of REQ points.

Pretty good pvp but a terrible single player and no split screen is horrible too
