Halo 5 is the best Halo since Halo 2. There's a reason everyone is talking about it again. The game is simply amazing. For the most part, the maps are incredibly balanced. Just like the old Halo's power weapons run the maps so if you can hold those, your team has the best chance to win the game. I absolutely LOVE Halo 5.

It's the lowest rated halo game ever, by both critics and users (metacritic)

I can understand liking it, but it plays nothing like Halo of old.

That is because of the campaign. The multiplayer has gotten amazing reviews.

So I thought the mp rankings didn't go down? I've been platinum II for a while in swat, now I'm platinum I. That is odd. I've been doing well too.

Yeah they go up and down, the only thing I dislike is that it does down when you lose even when you outperform everyone but are on a terrible team

You go up and down in your ranking.

You will never go from Platinum to Gold though.

The higher levels definitely emphasis teamwork though which is something that i need to work on.

I somewhat disagree. That's what halo has always been about. Is your team better. It's about winning games when CoD, in my opinion, is just about how many kills can I get. Don't care about getting killed.

There's many games where I've gonna 24-8 or something and lost. Just the way it is if I go down in rank


I agree it does kinda suck but it's what makes halo halo

I played the Beta. That's close enough.

Halo doesn't have ADS. End of story.

Oh god.. please shut the frick up. The Beta has NOTHING on the actual release. I played the beta and fricking hated it. However, after seeing all the positive things the PROS were saying about the game, I decided to give it a shot and I am glad I did. You're a fricking idiot and anything you say from here on out regarding Halo 5 should be taken as a joke until you actually play the full game.

Apparently there is a way to skip the animation, but I am not sure how you do it

The sprinting is too COD-esque now. The pistol is comical. The maps are largely horrendous. There's no casual playlists. There's not even a dedicated objectives playlist, seriously? The radar at times flat out doesn't work. It doesn't feel like Halo to me anymore either, more like a beta.

The engine and graphics are amazing and there was a lot of potential here, I just don't think many non-hardcore fans will care to stick around for the multiplayer to get enjoyable (or Forge, shame on 343). I was initially blown away by multiplayer, but it's wearing pretty quickly and I'm not alone there. Those sentiments can't be captured by launch-day reviews.

The more hardcore Halo fans of my friends group love the game way more than the people who have only really played the past games casually.
