You want what you were used to. That’s cool. I respect that. But games have to evolve. I think you want a better MCC. I do too. It was a travesty. But halo 5 is a balanced and fair FPS. They need to keep most of it and tweak it in the next installment. The multiplayer as a rule is fine.


No disrespect but you are speaking as somebody that hasn't logged a ton of hours in every single game. Halo 5 multiplayer was not fine when compared to good Halo multiplayer. Again sprint kills map design and takes away skill in moving throughout a map. Clamber does the same thing. Thrust is a crutch that takes no skill. Balanced means "skill based". The only thing close to skill based in Halo 5 is shooting mechanics. You want an "evolved FPS" well you have plenty of choices of those with all the gimmicks and sprint. There is no game like classic Halo out there and true Halo OGs deserve a classic Halo after the last 3 COD style Halo's we got. I don't want Halo 2.5. I want a new updated Halo that takes the elements of the first 3 games that were successful and improves upon them and fixes the problems those games had. The golden triangle of Halo is guns, grenade, melee. Go back and play a Halo 2 Team slayer game at Midship. It's unreal fun. With sprint it wouldn't work. Oddball on Lockout. Wouldn't work with sprint. CTF at Sanctuary, Slayer at Warlock... I could go on and on and on.

Again I don't mean to be disrespectful but the majority of players that want "evolved Halo" didn't play the OG games and don't understand what makes OG Halo great.

If they made the game you want it would sell but have the same player base of MCC plus Halo 5 if that. It won’t bring in any new players to the Franchise. 30+ year olds isn’t the target demographic. That’s just the way it is. (And I’m 30).

And I’ve logged tons of hours in 3, Reach, 4 and 5.

Dude 5 is easily higher skill than you’re suggesting. I quit playing 4 because of what you’re saying the sprint took a lot of the skill out of movement and people spammed it constantly. To 343’s credit they mostly fixed that aspect and when I bought 5(late I was like you butthurt about my series changing) it was a totally different experience. I was getting worked which never happened in 1-4. The skill level is still there and it shows. Also every your complaint about maps is false as midship(truth on 5) is still my favorite map and it’s still the best CTF. Hell we haven’t had a good lockout since the original in 2(blackout in 3 was garbage). Like others have said they eschewed the big maps for war zone which is fun but not the same as running snipers on blood gulch. Let’s get a game up HottyToddy7 now that we’re talking about it again I need to fire it back up.
