Halo 5 cannot be an accident. People cannot be stupid enough to think this game is even remotely balanced. Between the nuclear grenade spamming, lack of a spawning system, call of duty level kill times, and ungodly amounts of auto aim, this makes for one of the most frustrating multiplayer games ever.
The engine is good, the netcode is great, the decisions are questionable.

Grenades were more like nukes in CE and reach
Spawning is pretty shit. Won't disagree there
Killtimes take longer than CE and 4.
Auto aim is present on any console shooter
Halo 4 is worse in every way
>>340353434
>nuclear grenade
Bullshit, grenades in 5 are nothing compared to the bullshit in Reach and other previous titles.
>lack of a spawning system
Explain what problem you have with it, because it seems fine to me.
>Call of Duty killtimes

The grenades have much longer radiuses in 5.
CE had short kill times due to the pistol, but everything kills a lot faster at range in 5.
Auto aim yes, but the aim magnetism is ridiculous on 5.
4 played more like halo, but its shit as well.
It's just boring. That's my complaint.

I just can't get in to it. Even H4 at least felt dumb enough I got some enjoyment. I mean I've even got more play time in Blops 3, and it's fucking horrendous. At least it's fun to spam hives every where like a dick and spawn camp with an LMG.

Reach had nuke grenades too, but like I said previously the grenades in 5 have a longer radius. Reach nukes had more damage.
My problem with it is that there is none. You spawn right into their team with no chance of survival this happens consistently.
I have been onyx and I have finished at the top 100 rank. I am most likely better than you.
And yes, the auto aim is much higher in H5 than any other game. 4 shots are expected now.
>>340353434
Grenade spamming has been worse in previous games, seriously I've been reading abut grenade hate since like 2007 and every new Halo people forget and act like grenades are a new issue. The solution is just make it so you only spawn with 1.
>lack of a spawning system
I don't know what you mean by this
>call of duty level kill times
With the AR, maybe. Everything else feels fine except when you get spartan chagred or slammed and jammed from above. That shit is annoying.
>ungodly amounts of auto aim
It sucks but was worse in 2.
>>340353434
>intentionally ruin
It's more horrifying than that anon. They don't intentionally ruin a game, they try to craft it into something that they maybe originally wanted to make or think would be better with complete disregard to either the source material or what makes the game unique. Couple that with the marketing team who "guides" the devs by persuading them to design it in certain ways that are popular or will sell, and you get a ruined game

The req system is fucktarded. Every time you think you're finally gonna start getting good shit, 343 add 9 thousand more reskins of shit armour and more pointless emblems.
>It's just boring. That's my complaint.
I only play H5 for customs now. I stopped ranking back in February, and played Firefight once, because it was piss easy and ended after 5 waves for some reason.
Bad balance can always sbe fixed with a patch.
Don't mind me, just getting the name/email fields clear, I always forget to do that. It was either this inconsequential post or shitposting, so I flipped a coin.

>grenades in 5 have a longer radius
Again, bullshit
>You spawn right into their team with no chance of survival this happens consistently
I have literally never had this happen to me.
>I have been onyx and have finished at the top 100 rank
Whatever you say champ
>Yes, the auto aim in 5 is higher than any other game
Nah, I'm pretty sure both 4 and Reach were worse. Reach especially, that multiplayer was fucked.

I think some /hg/ anons did the numbers and on average you need 3-4 hours a day played depending on how good you are to catch up. And by catch up I mean within 3 months be at the point where you're just buying the new reqs they release not old shit.
>>340355507
It can't be 3 months right? IIRC the original reqs alone took 250-300 hours, and they've at least doubled the amount of shit now.
They intentionally ruined Halo with Halo Reach
>>340353434
Games are hard to make anon. With extravagant costs, lengthy development times, constant pressure to meet a deadline that can't even be predictably hit until 80% of the game is finished, and the consumer's demand for ever impressive technology (adding even more pressure) its a wonder games even get completed and people can actually make a living off it.

I wish cortana worked that well. She seems marginally better than Siri, though that could be because I use a shitty old iphone 4s that I got for free.

I will fucking end you cortana.

The only bad thing about halo 5 is the story.

Can musicbee become small like winamp? Foobar being a big clusterfuck is what put me off changing to that when everyone was suggesting it.

>>340357518
What do you mean small?
>>340353434
I'll never understand or forgive them for appealing purely to the "competitive" crowd for H5. Every map is small, lifeless, and nearly identical. No BTB maps that aren't shitty forge creations helps assert that they gave no shits about casual play at all. That and the shitty re-makes of weapons that have been around for 16 years is just retarded.

Its not the competitive crowd, its MLG cry babies.
The same crybabies that could get past a 40 in any playlist and talk shit to people that used the ar in close range.

Deal w/ it nerd. I have MPC and shit installed but I am not a weeab who needs magic 10bit colour bullshit. VLC plays 10bit shit now anyway.
Still never seen a good argument as to why it is bad.
>>340353434
The Halo game with the most bullet magnetism will always be Halo 2.
It was especially apparent with large reticles like the rocket launcher - even if you were clearly going to miss the target, if your reticle turned red you were going to hit them.
