Why do many people consider Halo 5 the worst iteration of the series? I haven't played it but have heard nothing but bad things.
>>340457205
plot is just shit
worst thing they could do is replace the most badass spartan with some literal who nigger and his cringe squad
halo 4 is shit too
>>340457367
Hows the multiplayer?
>>340457454
halo 4 or halo 5? halo multiplayer has been declining in quality since reach, but forge is always fun as fuck specially with couch coop
>>340457205
Campaign felt like COD but the MP's supposed to be pretty good.
Halo 2's the worst of the series but it's not a bad game. Not at all. Just an example of having development trouble and not enough time to finish their game.
>>340457454
5 MP is fantastic, although a lot of fancucks hate it because its too fast. As far as I'm concerned the biggest problem with Halo MP was how sluggish it all felt.
That said they also removed splitscreen so there's that
total character assassination of cortana.
garbage boss fight thats repeated over and over (and then repeated with multiple clones of said boss simultaneously)
abandonment of plotline established in halo 4 that was actually pretty promising
>>340459676
lol
who cares about the campaign?
just
stop
>>340457205
the marketing was too good. it had a great hype built around it and then actual leaked inf oof the game came out. people were expecting a rogue chief v an ONI Locke in a ver compelling story of right v wrong. what we got was the butchering of everything the fans held dear. Cortan becomes evil, Locke is the main character while Chief is basically secondary character. Locke sucked, Chief sucked, and Cortana sucked.
Because its a repeat of halo 2, you play as someone other than green king and just like h2 you have a story more about the world then big green himself as the move on as it lets new spartans fill the role and you get to see some glimpses of chief trying to hold onto false hope only to be betrayed by a friend.
>>340459998
some people like stories. there is more to life than runing around and gunning down random internet people.
>>340460092
literally a repeat of what happened with H2
>>340460373
>some people like stories.
Then I can't see how they are still playing Halo at this point...
Only braindead retards truly consider 5 the worst, Halo 4 is easily the worst, but 5 is the newest so people will exaggerate and say it's the worst until 6 comes out, then people will look back and say WELL ACTUALLY IT WASNT THAT BAD
>>340457205
Halo 5 is the best iteration since 3, and stopped the decline that the series has had, at least in terms of quality. A lot of people shit talk 343i for 4, but 5 is a decent sized turnaround that shows they've been improving a lot since then
>>340461589
sorry I've been a bit out of the loop for a few years, why do people hate halo 4?
>>340461660
COD-ification of the series, added custom classes, perks, unlockable weapons, sprint with no real negatives, awful music, awful story, awful voice acting (to the point where it sounded like someone else was voicing chief), blatantly overpowered weapons that the player could choose to spawn with, 4 was just a mess
>>340461660
took everything halo reach did wrong and amplified it, also campaign story
>>340460373
Honestly, I would wait until Halo 6 is out first before we can really judge if the story for V was good or crap. It's clearly setting the story up for something. Whether it ends up complete crap or redeems itself depends solely on what direction they're heading for in 6. I mean, you don't even have to buy it, just watch the inevitable cutscenes complication on youtube and see if the story ends up good or not.
>>340460092
Just because you don't play as chief as much doesn't mean he isn't the main character
Chief is very much the main character in halo 5's story
>>340462464
Literally nobody wanted to play as lock. Halo is master chief, him taking a back seat for some dindu to drive the story was aids.I hated playing as the space dindu Arbiter too
>>340462860
nobody cares what pol thinks
>>340462860
It's worth it to have Buck and some of the humor back
>>340463097
Would have rather them focus'd on blue team, fred was pretty funny in the book
>>340457561
What couch co-op?
>>340457454
5's multi has its moments. It could be goat if 343 could pull their heads out of their asses. But they can't, so for every good idea they have, 5 bad ones get added in too.
Warzone is one of the worst displeasures I've experienced in Halo but Arena is pretty fun, some enjoyable modes pop up occasionally as well, but there's zero reason why they aren't permanent.
>>340463207
I like both, but it was nice to see more of Buck either way
>>340463340
Warzone is fun, aside from the obvious shitty teammates that plague every halo game
>>340457561
Have you played Halo 5 multiplayer?
>>340463441
Warzone is a step down from big team in every way, and only exists to justify the shity req system.
>>340463614
The map design is objectively worse in most big team maps, and the req system isn't all that bad
>>340457205
>halo 5 announced for PC
>suddenly anti halo 5 threads
POTTERY
>>340464095
when has there ever been positive halo threads since 343 took over?
>>340464134
It was well received when it first came out
>>340464021
Yeah, well no shit considering big team didn't even exist in 5 till the community gave 343 enough shit for it. And even then, all the maps we get for it are shitty forge ones.
And yes, the req system is all that bad.
>>340464095
>suddenly
funny joke. I've had halo 5 since launch and threads have always been shitting on it, and rightfully so. the sp is shit, the mp was really bad at launch and is getting slightly better but it pushes req packs far too much.
343 is always going 2 steps forward and 4 steps back
>check out halo general in vg
>ever other post gay posting
>never go back
Installation 01 when?
>>340464523
/hg/ was only good the first month of h5, then it suffered from the /vg/ curse of namefags and popularity contests.
I don't even know what it is now, I heard somebody doxed it and posted personal pictures and names of people though
>>340464408
>excuses
How is the req system all that bad?
>>340457205
4 is the worst
>>340460092
Halo has always had an issue with stories, I fucking love the series (well, 1 - 3) but even those games dropped the ball sometimes, save for 1.
Halo 1
>Solid, straightforward, the flood throws a wrench into the plot and makes the universe bigger/creepier
Halo 2
>take the fight to Earth, save the world
>JK it's another Halo just like the last one
>Oh and we want to build a dual story and anthropomorphize those freaky aliens from the first one
Halo 3
>fucking gravemind. Literally what?
>>340457367
I've heard surprisingly positive things considering it followed Halo 4.
My friend who was super into Halo 3, but hated Reach and Halo 4 (as everyone should) got it and enjoys it. Not as much as the older halos, but its apparently an improvement on the last two.
>>340462860
I have no opinion on lock as I didn't touch 5, but ODST is the best Halo campaign by far, and Chief was only in it as an easteregg in a cutscene.
>>340464918
It's better than 4 for sure, but that's not a big accomplishment. The story is a mess and requires extra reading from 343s garbage comic to fully get what the fuck is going on in it.
The mp is far better than 4 and has good gameplay, for me personally I don't think it feels like a Halo game because of sprint and spartan abilities.
Personally I liked Reach more in regards to sp, for mp I think 5 would take it though.
Give us halo 3 on PC
Fuck 343. They have proven themselves to be not only incompetent, but liars who don't give a fuck about consumers. Fuck them and their shitty games
>>340465146
The friend I get my info from would be only interested in the multiplayer I should have mentioned. Probably hasn't touched the campaign knowing him.
I actually had a lot of fun with the armor abilities in reach, but they definitely don't belong in Halo. If they were an option in Halo 3 custom games I'd actually be really happy. Sprint needs to go however.
>>340465337
Google el dorito.
They might have a general on /vg/ as well.
People are playing Lava Pit and Drive or Die on PC right now.
>>340465146
The campaign in 4 was better, imo. Sure fighting prometheans non stop kind of blows cock'n'balls, but the story was at leastpassable. Even had a touching conclusion.
A conclusion that 5 digs up and fucks the corpse of.
>>340465789
>actually like 4's campaign
Literally how? It's fucking awful, and the finale was just forced and oddly romantic. Every other Halo game has a better campaign than 4.
>>340466676
It's not as good as 1,2,3, reach, or ODST, but it certainly is better than 5.
I didn't feel like the ending was forced, it felt like Cortana has been heading that way for a long time.I want a AI waifu
>>340466676
You must not have played 5 then. 4 was bad but it didn't have required reading and you could actually follow it.
>>340457454
It depends on how you like to play Halo.
A lot of people don't like the ADS and I understand that. Personally, I think it was really necessary to evolve the game and to somewhat bring maps together.
>Competitive
It's actually pretty awesome. The game flows so well and it's much faster than other halo games. With that said, it's a lot easier. 4 shotting is as easy as it was in 2 and sniping is almost dumb because it's so easy. Would be 10/10 with great maps but they're subpar.
>Customs
Fun. Forge is great and by the time it gets to PC, it could possibly get on to Garrys mod level or something close. However, there's no fucking file browser for some reason. They should also add some type of browser for customs instead of using LFG.
>Warzone
Repetitive. You won't have fun without a group and even then you may not. I don't know why they don't allow forge for Warzone maps and I don't know why there aren't about 12 Warzone maps with constantly spawning ai. IMO, Warzone should be treated as if you're a soldier in an RTS game where you can spawn more ai for defense and such. It's extremely barebones currently.
The multiplayer is like 7.5/10 if you really enjoy halo. An easy 8.5 with better maps. Halo 4 was about a 4.5/10 and reach was a 6/10.
They need more customization of the game. increased speed, no ads game types to make it more like an arena shooter.
Visuals are pretty good too.
>>340466887
I've played all of them in past couple of weeks, 4 stands out in how terrible it was.
>>340466875
>it felt like Cortana has been heading that way for a long time
>>340466898
They need a 'classic' mode that disables sprint, ads (except for scoped weapons obviously), and spartan abilities
>>340467130
>disabling scopes on autos
Fuck off, that was one of the best changes they made
>>340457205
The aiming is sluggish for no good reason and feels like shit, also 343 can't optimize a UI for shit.
>>340467197
How about you fuck off, it's not a bad idea for a separate game mode that people have been asking for.
>>340467130
343i should be out of business for how incompetent they are. They could seriously have a gametype named classic with user made halo 1/2/3/R maps without abilities, ads, increased movement, etc and it would be great for the game.
Could use original weapon spawns too.
>>340467374
What's wrong with the idea in a classic mode? Afraid of some autos fucking you up when you use a headshot weapon incorrectly?
>>340467106
As she approached rampancy she became more and more human; she always was affectionate for chief, makes sense that she would feel that more and more the closer to rampancy she got.
>>340467197
>easy to use weapons on spawn being effective at multiple ranges
Fuck you, games on smaller maps are retarded AR-fests now and Spartan Charges don't help.
>there are people that bought 5 despite 4 ruining everything
>>340467585
Precision weapons lose to autos in Halo 5, they're mathematically more lethal especially since they have bonus headshot damage which makes it random on top of that
>>340457205
campaign is trash but I love the multiplayer, and all the updates put in have been free, and I can only imagine the rest will be free. The micro transactions don't bother me as they don't affect the game in any way.
>>340467760
guarantee it goes up to halo 2/3 levels with W10 release.
>>340467854
Wouldn't be suprised, nobody has an xbone, ofc the sales are going to be shit
I'll trade the existence of Halo 4-5 for a full length Arbiter game made by Bungie
>>340467625
>multiple ranges
kek, the scopes don't allow nearly that much extra range, it just makes it easier to punish people trying to use mid-long range weapons outside of those areas. Pretty much every team slayer/FFA/Arena game is still determined by the team that holds onto the headshot weapons still, so you're talking out of your ass.
>>340467768
The kill times for autos is still pretty much right where they've always been. Quick enough to kill someone with a headshot weapon , but you'll end up with your shields broken. The only area where autos outperform headshot weapons is right where they should, in close range. If you're using a headshot weapon that close you should lose. Headshot damage has been long overdue on autos, especially considering they don't have near the same amount of auto aim to peoples heads as headshot weapons.
>>340467976
>Wanting an Arbiter game
>>340462860
I could agree with Locke, and even Arbiter in Halo 2. I still like Arbiter as a character though, best "Things women will never understand" out of the entire series. Their bromance was so god-tier it required no words.
Johnson's too.
>>340467976
Current day Bungie, or pre-Destiny Bungie?
>>340467760
5 unfucked a lot of things 4 did, Halo 5 shows real growth in 343i as a dev team.
>>340468191
He was legitimately the best part about Halo 2
>>340457205
3 > ODST > 1 > 5 > Reach > 2 >>> literal shit > 4
>>340467976
>wanting a current Bungie game
Maybe if it was good Bungie before they fired the talent
>>340467976
I'm disappointed we haven't seen some sort of elite spinoff game.
Not really surprised though.
>>340468291
>>340468352
Pre-Destiny Bungie, think ODST era at ear
>>340467854
I'd be surprised if it reached 3. I'm expecting it to double and thats it.
>>340462860
>Halo is master chief
People like you are literally the reason Halo is dying.
Having to play as Chief and only Chief in every game limits Halo to an absurdly stupid level. Halo has the potential to be nearly as big as Star Wars and would make Mass Effect look plain and boring if they expanded beyond Chief, but shackling the franchise to the ankle of one character will just milk it dry.
>>340467854
>W10 release.
Was this rumor confirmed? I've been out of the loop lately.
If it's W10 store I probably won't bother, I can't deal with having even more MS bloatware on my system
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lviYhyN_VKI
So can we all agree that Halo 2 anniversary had better music than the original game at certain moments?
>>340468721
H2A dropped Blow Me Away in the finale of Gravemind.
They already lost.
>>340468681
I loved arbiter's bits in 2, but I think chief should be the only character you play as in the main games. Either have arbiter/whoever set aside for player 2, or let them have their own games.
>>340468681
Eh I put it wrong when I said that. ODST and reach were fun without chief; but chief had no presence in the game.
You can't have an enjoyable campaign that involves MC playing second fiddle to some retard no one gives a fuck about.
>>340468721
alt rock fit better than the prog metal they replaced it with. the banshee part in 2 was great and in h2a it felt awful
>>340468721
H2:A's music was a goddamn mess.
>>340457205
Story is trash because most things would have happened regardless of chief/Locke. Halo 2 had a cliffhanger, but something had happened in the game
MP is solid, and I started with CE back in the day
>>340468958
I feel like both were good, but Follow in flight fit better.
>>340469013
It was, but it had its moments
>>340464675
>tfw I'm kind of one of the Halo 3 babbies
I had Halo: CE on PC and played the shit out of it. Got a PS2 but never afforded a good enough PC to play Halo 2 in its heyday. After that I got aWiiand not too long after that I got my 360. I had been waiting for Halo for so long since I knew that Halo: CE felt like the pinnacle of what I had played at that point (except some things like Star Wars: Battlefront).
Maybe it was the custom games, but Halo 3 will still be one of my favorite Halos to this day. I do wish the online servers were more stable, but I enjoyed the campaign for the levels that the picture mention, but also thoroughly enjoyed Crow's Nest, and like the throwback to the first game with the finale drive. Custom games were works of art to my tiny mind, and to see the community able to put together things that felt more rewarding than the main multiplayer such as Jenga Tower, Fat Kid, Smeer the Queer, and Trash Compacter, it just left me in awe.
I see what the picture says, but I will still stand by Halo 3, even though most of you think me retarded. It's not a bad thing to literally grow up; I'm 21 now, and revving up the MCC campaigns on Heroic with some buds is still greatly satisfying.
>>340457454
>>340457561
>>340459162
>>340463294
>>340466898
Halo multiplayer has been garbage since 3, this is indisputable
>>340469203
This is coming from somebody who likes prog metal and periphery (the dude who wrote the prog metal songs is part of that band). It just doesn't work with the parts it's in or soundtrack as a whole. Not that incubus and breaking benjamin really did either but it fit a lot more. It could be nostalgia but I liked 2s a lot more, if i really wanted to do a fair comparison I'd have to listen to them back to back. Its been a while since I played h2a but I remember the music being a low point for me
>>340469363
I agree except for odst introduced firefight and firefight is a good addition
>340469346
The community was super active on 3, something I haven't seen in any other game yet. You could just randomly join someone you played with and play custom games with them and their friends. It lasted a long time two.
Reach was kinda the same way but it never really had the same feel as 3
>>340460436
>A repeat of Halo 2

Except... well not
>Playing Halo after Reach
Rewatch all the trailers and teasers for Halo 5 and see how much was actually cut
The game hyped itself with this ominous plot. MC gone rogue? A new guy hunting down the chief to kill him? "everyone's gonna hate us, you know that right?" oh shit sounds like they're really out for the chief what's going on. ONI? They're involved? Trying to assasinate the chief and Halsey? Those trailers where MC was severely wounded and broken at Locke's gunpoint. That trailer where it is Locke that is wounded and MC shittalks him. What's going on?
And then we got a game where none of this happened
ONI and their assassination plot are a one-line remark in the intro by Halsey and are otherwise NOWHERE to be found. The "hunter" storyline ends abpruptly and MC going rogue was never actually a big issue. The great culmination of said hunt was a 45 second power rangers fight choreography between MC and Locke.
Cortana is evil
>>340463097
What humor, nobody tells any jokes or says anything funny.
>>340464205
Do you have any proof of that?
>>340462860
Agreed, main series is Master Chief, if 343 really wants to add a new playable character make a damn spin off. No wanted them to pull another Arbiter.
>>340457205
I hate it because I get 30 min queues in multiplayer
>>340470371
orkill master chief
Won't happen, but it would leave so much space for development of new characters
>there are people who actually got tricked into or willingly purchased any Halo title after 3
thank god for that Reach beta
>>340470519
They should've just let him sleep after Halo 3 and for 4-6 focus on a new cast
>>340470235
The Marketing was phenomenal. But its like they had small amounts of info and just ran with it. Thats why I'm so sour. The game could've been so good, but instead its just hugely bland and uninspired story-wise
>>340470640
>were it so easy
>>340470640
This.
As soon as they announced a new trilogy with him I knew Halo was going to be run into the ground. They should have let him retire the hero he was.
>>340464095
Didn't turn out to be true in the end.

Just lie on the internet like that
Its take like a minute
>>340470680
What's really a kick in the nuts is the story is great outside of the game. The radio broadcast shit they did leading up to 5 was some of the best video game related story I've seen.
Such a waste of potential.
it's excellent
>>340457205
I watched my housemate go through the intro and first level and there was barely anything that looked like a Halo game at all. I think a Covenent ship and Buck were the only familiar things in there and why the fuck is he a spartan now?
To be fair I did skip 4 too.
>>340470814
It really was, my heart was pounding at some parts. Then it lead to garbage.
>>340457205
343 single player is fanfiction.
343 multiplayer is just weird. It's hard to describe. A tonne of the fun in the first three bungie games was that the physics engine was so goofy, but also really good, and something about the 343 physics in the multiplayer, the way the weapons interct with the avatars, the vehicles, they don't feel the same. It's all a bunch of nebulous opinion bullshit but I can feel a difference in how the movement and combat works going between the two studios. Also 343's designs look like holy fucking 13 year old sketches horsefuckery. I don't understand how paid, professional graphic artists looked at the new design direction in the Halo games under 343 and passed off on it.
>mfw remembering the forge fun times with anons back in 07
I miss those days.
>>340457205
>no splitscreen co-op
Why even call it Halo at this point? You've removed the soul, call it something else already. Let it die.
>>340470952
I like the MP for 5. It has different feel, but I feel like it fits. It still has the skill the other halo's did, but its just a faster pace
>>340457205
The story was completely bland and boring. Aside from Cortana turning evil (what, did they take plot twist tips from M Night Shamalan?) absolutely no risks were taken in this game.
I was expecting a tense game where you need to fight Insurrectionists and scour the galaxy to find Chief who has gone rogue. What I got was a game of Chief stepping outside to smoke with his crazy ex girlfriend and you play as the guy to tell him to just delete her number.

Okay serious question guys.
What does 343 have against playable elites? Sure they might not be good for competitive but they could at least include the option for the fans in custom games, right?
I like the jetpacks, replaying all the games in MCC made me realize how tired I was of grenades being a death sentence because of the floaty walking momentum.
>>340471730

>>340472273
Yup. We're gonna have all the Halo kiddies trampling through /v/ pretending it's anything more than a casual shooter which is directly responsible for the casualization of shooters which occurred over the 00's.
Wake me up when September starts.
>>340471619
for a few weeks we had a portion of people saying they were enjoying the game (and a bunch of jelly sonyggers ;))
>>340472513

Lol, get a load of this faggot.

>casual babby tries to deflect to other games when we're talking about Halo
>>340472513
Sorry devs weren't good enough to not create their own thing
Stop blaming Halo for something thats the industries fault
Why does the aiming feel so god awful? Every setting I try and it feels horrible. I can't aim worth shit because of it.
>>340472751
>I wasn't responding to some retard who was literally talking about other games.
Lol.
>>340472876
You sure its not the controller. When I first got the One aiming felt off for like a month. Haven't had a problem since
>>340472905
>you weren't
>>340472954
No, tried it on 2 different controllers. On Master Chief Collection the aiming is flawless, then I go to 5 and I feel like a toddler trying to shoot a guy. I remember the aiming in the beta being flawless. What the fuck happened?
>>340472981
>Yup. We're gonna have all the Halo kiddies trampling through /v/ pretending it's anything more than a casual shooter which is directly responsible for the casualization of shooters

I'm not sure if egging you on is even funny a this point or just mean.
>>340473087
It was actually the opposite for me. I couldn't get aiming down for MCC, but can do just fine on 5. Though halo 5 has no aim assist, so that may be it.
>>340457205
The way the game was advertised did not reflect how the game would pan out at all. The story was shit.
If Chief just took two seconds to explain what had happened, Locke's journey wouldn't be necessary. If the USMC had one fucking thought and said "Chief? The guy who saved Earth more than once? A traitor? He would never". The books and web series explain the suspicion, but the game does none of this in an effort to make it mysterious.
Even the dialogue was forced. I remember hearing a female Sangheili and thinking "Wow, is this the first time I've heard a female Sangheili speak? Must be desperate times." then that stupid fucking ho repeats the same shit I said because normies were too busy looking at their phones to appreciate such progressivism.
Yes, I'm mad. I bought a fucking Xbone for this piece of shit game.
It just seems like they really just wanted to make a game to show Chief passing the torch onto Locke and his group of toy soldiers.

It's not the aim assist at all, it's the acceleration. I feel that the deadzones were set so you have to hit far just for it to move, but when you set it to 0 it's still requiring you to push hard. It doesn't feel natural compared to the other Halo games. I just googled it and apparently it had something to do with esport playtester teams complaining about it. So fuck this game, fuck people trying to play a console FPS competitively. I just want to have fun in action sack god damnit. Something Halo 5 no longer has I might add.

Yeah, they're going to pass the torch to Locke because he's a fucking black man and having that as the face of Halo is more valuable to investors than the game's legacy. Lord Almighty they even let Locke and Chief duke it out to show he's just as strong as he is.
I'm going to bet that Chief dies in the next game for some fucked up reason so Locke can be the focal character. He'll probably sacrifice himself to save Cortana or some dumb shit.

When will this meme end
it's not ADS. It is 100% identical gameplay wise to scope in every previous halo game. The only thing that's changed is instead of having the black overlay, it shows you looking down the sights, and it's on all guns in the game.
It doesn't make you move slower like ADS. You don't need to use it to shoot accurately like ADS
it's literally just zoom on more guns.

Nothing got cut, they do this for every single halo game.
The cortana letters for CE, Ilovebees and "Fight for earth" for 2, IRIS and "Belive" for 3, etc
All of that marketing shit and ARG's barely had any relevance if any to the game they were advertising. You were a fucking idiot for expecting it to be different for 5. hell, ilovebees is outright just not canon.
The fact nobody else mentions this makes me question the age of the other people in these threads.

After the backlash that Halo 5 got from the fanbase and journalist I don't see a Chief passing the tourch to anyone.

There is nothing interesting about the covenant.
They are literally Space ISIS, wanting to martyr themselves to get to Space Allah.
Humanity is what makes the game interesting, they are an interesting middleground between two extremes, they have the locust like consumption of the flood and the galaxies best interest in mind like the Forerunners.
They are by far the most complex faction in the Halo universe.

Dude, it's fine if your'e a white male with parents who could afford the Internet. I didn't get Internet until I moved to America and tv broadcasts that came to us were about 7-9 months late. I still played Halo offline on my Xbox. I just had no access to vidya news outside of vidya magazines like Tips & Tricks. But hey nothing wrong with bragging about how much cum you spilled over every piece of Halo media to us "fake fans".

>>340475094
>They are by far the most complex faction in the Halo universe.
I'd say all the factions, bar the flood are equally complex.
Humanity has the interplay with the UNSC and ONI, as well as the innies
With the covenant, you have all the interspecies relations and post great shcism, the various remnants.
There;s the builders vs the warrior servents vs the lifeworkers for the forerunners
etc
5 is my least favorite personally but objectively speaking 4 is worse and if you value multiplayer more than campaign then it's better than Reach as well.
I'm not going to say it's a better game than 3 overall but 3's multi is horrendously overrated and the vast majority of people that hold it in such a high regard played it before they were even in high school as their first Halo they owned since they were PS2 kids before that.

All 4 of his missions were shit, the best part of Halo 2's sp was all the shit that went on in Chief's missions.
>>340461589

>>340477147
Everyone had a 360, noone has the bone
>>340477035
Launch Halo 5 was easily worse than 4
The canpaign is easily the worst in the series and the shortest after ODST.
The story, if you play for that, is a joke written literally by SJW hacks.
The multiplayer launched with next to no content and greatly catered to the warzone game mode with req packs nobody cared about.
The game launched with no forge.
Yes, 4 was better at launch.
>>340476846

>>340477257

4's campaign is easily the worst, by a mile. Halo 5 at least sort of felt like a Halo campaign with some damn good music.
>The story, if you play for that, is a joke written literally by SJW hacks.
That's 4, not 5

You're an idiot, and I'll take the great gameplay with a little less content than the shitfest that was 4's multi at launch and any other time. I can still remember the games plagued with DMR/Boltshot/Promethean vision loadouts, or just how shitty custom loadouts were in general. If you legit like that more than 5 than Halo is not for you.

Nah. It's down there with Halo 3's but 5 is just insulting.
>Halo 5 at least sort of felt like a Halo campaign with some damn good music.
Yeah the music was better. The levels were small, 3 of them have no enemies at all. The squad system doesn't fucking work. There's no sense of impressive uniqueness for any level. At least 4 had the mammoth mission or the death star run. Also, fuck having only 3 chief levels.
>>The story, if you play for that, is a joke written literally by SJW hacks.
>That's 4, not 5
Where is the SJW in 4's campaign? Palmer is in maybe 1 scene?
5 meanwhile is filled with progressivism for no reason. They even nerf ed chief to be almost weaker than the Donut Steel black character.
>>WAHH HALO 5 ONLY CATERS TO WARZONE AND BARELY CATERS TO ARENA
Uh, it did. They even had to radically restructure the req paq system to address this issue.
Cmon man, the game didn't even launch with forge, infection or fucking big team.
>You're an idiot, and I'll take the great gameplay with a little less content than the shitfest that was 4's multi at launch and any other time. I can still remember the games plagued with DMR/Boltshot/Promethean vision loadouts, or just how shitty custom loadouts were in general.
Hey man, on multi alone 5 DOES beat 4 at launch. But there's more to a Halo game than its multiplayer, and 5's campaign is inexcusable.
As I went on to say, however, current 5 is indeed better than 4.

>>340478517

Perhaps.
I genuinely believe it still has the best campaign and what it did for the console shooter scene, for better or for worse, is historic.
I grew up with Doom and Duke 3D and I wasn't impressed with any of the console shooters in gen 5 but I've always found CE special.

NICE PREDICTION
>>340457205
I consider it to be one of the best, and this is coming from someone who's been with the series since the first one. I think the multiplayer is really fun, and a good evolution of the Halo formula. Despite the campaign's shortcomings, I do think it was pretty fun to go through with a friend. That being said, it's not as good as Halo 2. I do think competitively, it's more tight than Halo 3 was, but ultimately 2 and 3 are better than 5. 5 > Reach though.
>>340481676
Haah Waaw 2 was confirmed for pc when it was announced dummy
>>340457454
Probably the best multiplayer in the series if you like your games sweaty. The matchmaking system really works and you'll rarely steam roll your opponents. The ranking system is great and you requalify each month, which keeps you on your toes.

>Nah. It's down there with Halo 3's but 5 is just insulting.

Why do I even argue with someone with such shit taste? Halo 3 was one of the best campaigns of the series.
>The levels were small, 3 of them have no enemies at all. The squad system doesn't fucking work. There's no sense of impressive uniqueness for any level. At least 4 had the mammoth mission or the death star run. Also, fuck having only 3 chief levels.
The missions were par the course for size, and in terms of "impressive uniqueness" there's not much like running down the guardian. 4's mammoth mission was absolute shit, one of the worst missions in the worst campaign of the series. Why do people spout the whole "b-but only 3 chief missions" bullshit while ignoring the fact that they're the longest missions of the game and are near equal in playtime to the Locke missions?
>5 meanwhile is filled with progressivism for no reason. They even nerf ed chief to be almost weaker than the Donut Steel black character.
Palmer in 4 is worse than anything in 5, lets see you list off what was more SJW in 5. Locke and team couldn't even handle taking on Chief in an emotionally unstable state, but yeah they "nerfed" him alright, sure.
>Uh, it did. They even had to radically restructure the req paq system to address this issue.
>Cmon man, the game didn't even launch with forge, infection or fucking big team.
So, if 343i catered so heavily to warzone, why was 90% of the multiplayer launch content Arena related? It makes no sense and you know it
>Hey man, on multi alone 5 DOES beat 4 at launch. But there's more to a Halo game than its multiplayer, and 5's campaign is inexcusable.
Multiplayer is the livelihood of Halo, the bread and butter, what keeps you coming back again and again. To say otherwise is to ignore over a decade of evidence. If you thought 5's campaign was inexcusable how did you even finish 4?
>>340481579
Halo CE second half is repetitive
Arbiter's missions in Halo 2 are so bad that it drags down the entire campaign experience
Halo 3 in reality only has one bad mission

>>340482098
>Halo 3 was one of the best campaigns
Stopped reading.
Here's my full Halo stats here
>>340482189
Halo 5 sold like shit compared to other Halos so not many people here have actually played it. I have. All the complaints about the campaign are perfectly valid. Even the "lol nigger pc sjwbait" retardation has some merit to it. Locke's only personality trait is that he follows the rules. He's only black because it's "progressive" to have a main character that's black. The rest of his squad are just as bad. Vale's only contribution to the story is one line where she says how impressed she is that Thel Vadam has female Sangheili in his rankswhich is funny because there's only one female elite in the game and she's not in game, just a voice.Tanaka is the definition of black lesbian chick and Buck seems like he'd rather be on Chief's team.
It's not all bad though. The level design is still top-tier and the new squad mechanics are pretty good. The only gameplay related problem with Halo 5's campaign is how easy it is. If you die on Legendary your squad can still revive you, which is pretty dumb. The story is just so fucking bad and nothing like the trailers or that "HUNTtheTRUTH" audio series that happened. There's no climax to it and it ends on a Halo 2-tier cliffhanger. In fact, it's so bad that it makes Halo 4 look good.
Both sides of the multiplayer are really good though. I'd even put it above Halo 2's multiplayer because it doesn't any balancing issues. Well worth the price of admission. If you have an Xbone then you should have this game, but I don't think it's worth buying an Xbone for.
>>340482556
>If you have an Xbone then you should have this game, but I don't think it's worth buying an Xbone for.
This is exactly what I tell people about bloodborne and PS4
Why not do another ODST-esque game.
Become apart of an 8-man marine team sent to investigate some of the other Halo/Forerunner facilities. Explore the area, get to some objectives before something horrible goes wrong. Have to fight waves of flood specimens or Forerunner warriors. Score is based on how many make it out, the objectives completed, and any other secret stuff found.
More loving if there is an ONI agent among the team who will try to complete their own objective. Even more loving if the enemy is controlled by another player ala Halo Wars.
