The look and feel of Halo 5 coupled with the game modes makes it seem like Call of Duty with a Halo skin on it. I mean, that is essentially what every single FPS out right now is doing, but I just can't grasp it yet
I see people say this, but I would love to hear what makes you think that.
The addition of interactive cut scenes in the Halo 4 is pure call of duty, plain and simple. ADS has no business in Halo. Sprint I can understand, but ADS changes the dynamics from an arena shooter to something not Halo. You claim its progressive and what belongs on a "modern shooter" but there were games back in 2001 that had both of these abilities. And let's not forget that Guardians is going to be squad based. Halo was always about one super soldier against droves of enemies. A 'you vs the world' type experience but now you can dump off a group of enemies to your AI counterparts.
Halo was a pure multi-player experience back when it was an arena shooter and every player was on an even playing field. 343 took a unique, successful formula and muddied it up with what every other shooter is doing. I love Halo like I'm sure plenty of you do, but with Halo 4 trying (and failing IMO) to "humanize" MC, and the failed launch of MCC I can't bring myself to trust 343 with this franchise. They've changed too much, and worse so they didn't change it to anything unique. They copy and pasted.

Yeah im really not too happy about the squad stuff.
The only thing I didn't like about halo 2 was playing as the Arbitor. I don't think this will be different.

Geez bruh, chill out..
I know it's a gif that screams: "I can rape anyone on tigerdroppings in Halo."
But, there is no need for you to be so angry.

the ads stuff is really just aesthetic. ads in most games actually slows the player down/increases the accuracy of the weapon/etc. in h5 it basically just takes the place of the traditional zoom in from previous halos, but now you can do it with any gun. smg and ar have been toned down a lot since the beta. and thankfully you get zoomed out again if you get shot, which was one of the worst things in h4. yes, it is undesirable that 343 have to attempt to appeal to the fans of cod and destiny, but we are fortunate for the arena playlists. while there are spartan abilities, sprint is not very beneficial and at least thrust is something everyone has rather than reach/4 where one person has a jetpack and the other person has armor lock. I'm not a fan of the spartan abilities, but I think they're moving in the correct direction finally.
That's how h5's arena multiplayer is designed.
And yes, after mcc, I completely understand not trusting 343.

I just don't know why they couldn't have taken what they did with H2A, and used it as a foundation for H5.
Good god no. That shite was just a sad imitation of h2. Essentially it was h2 with a lot more bullet magnetism, grenade markers, random interactive maps, and no button glitches. halo 2 is my favorite halo, but there's no way in hell I could have watched another season of h2a. I am happy to have a serious magnum as a skillful utility weapon again, I just wish they would have made it a 4sk. oh well.
also, I'm assuming you know all of the abilities can be cut off in custom games? and in the arena, you only show up on the motion tracker when you sprint, thrust, and shoot. and sprinting keeps your health/shields from recharging. I am a halo purist, but the way they have made the abilities either leave you more vulnerable/punish you at least gives me hope that they're focusing on one thing halo has been lacking for a while now, real decision making. Going for power weapons/powerups should always be a gamble, and 343 are finally making it a gamble to use your abilities.

In case any one is wondering how to join, you have to do it from halowaypoint. I just went to the website and signed in with my microsoft account. The search function for spartan companies was a little weak, it took me a while for it to actually come up on the search results.

Yeah, I ended up searching from the top search bar and clicking the magnifying lens and selected search all, then it came right up.

Just We need 2 more to be active.
We can hold 100 people so we don't have to be too picky
If you have friends who are getting it and are decent, let them know to request.

With every new Halo game comes adjusted hit boxes and auto aim. They also always tweak it in an early update.

grenade markers,
I'm not a fan, but this is extremely minor compared to the addition of ADS and "abilities"
quote:
random interactive maps,
Interactive maps have worked well in Halo before. See: Relic and Standoff

and no button glitches.
There aren't any button glitches in H5, either.

halo 2 is my favorite halo,
Yet, you'd prefer Halo 5 to resemble COD:Halo Warfare more than Halo 2. interdasting.

Christ, I'd hope so.

That sucks. You should always show up, unless you're crouching.

Yay?

Why even have them at all?

Now I'm super excited!!!
As a Halo purist myself, I'd much prefer a super-sexy looking H2A type game with minor tweaks, rather than what it appears we are going to get.
