Easier ways to do things.

Like suits with oxygen supplies. Which is already a thing. MJOLNIR has a 90 minute sealed air capacity.

They can't actually breathe methane. Their lungs are simply more efficient at oxygen intake, even from toxic gases.

Wanna co-op some time?

Genesis was super pretty too

Got me there. I loved walking around the town on Meridian as well.

Like fuck me, if they made a Halo game where all you do is wander around alien or human colonies and just watch and listen or talk to everybody and explore, I'd enjoy it. Something really nice about seeing some actual living presence to places.

Maybe. My team of try hards wants me to roll about and go dunk peeps in multiplayer.

That's not breathing. That's surviving. They're not actually using methane molecules to carry energy in their blood.

Environment art style looked amazing tbh

I won some stuff from 343i. So, yeah.

I finished installing the update today and decided to play some Halo 5. Played some breakout, BTB and warzone. I really regret actually spending time to download that fucking update now.

A rant I made on another site I frequent

Considering how poor this console generation is, from a hardware standpoint, I don't see it lasting anywhere near as long as the 360/ PS3

Consequently, I heavily doubt we'll be getting any major Halo title after Halo 6 on the XB1. So really, Halo 6 is my make or break point for both the series and console gaming. Halo is the only console exclusive game I play or have any interest in, and I don't particularly want to spend money on a console just for a franchise that could be going downhill by that point when I could use the money to build a PC. If Halo 6 is as sub-par as Halo 5 (both story and multiplayer), I cannot see myself buying the next Xbox console. I'd probably just watch YT playthroughs of the games and buy the books, if they're even worth buying by that point.

Halo 5, Escalation, my general distaste for the Precursor/ Ancient Human stuff and shit like FoRAnimated is starting to pile up. I guess it took Halo 5 for me to start thinking critically about 343i properly, and now I just can't stop seeing warning signs that the franchise is going downhill even in the story department. Considering I've had literally no urges to play Halo 5 since the first week of launch (I only played as long as I did because I was too lazy to update Battlefield), that's saying something about the longevity of the game. At this point, if forge is in anyway broken and custom games options are sub-par, I'm removing Halo 5 from my hard drive. It's honestly ridiculous that a game with such little content as Halo 5 is taking up close to 80-fucking-gigabytes of hard drive space when Fallout 4 takes less than thirty. Reach and Halo Wars will be backwards compatible soon, and they are both far better and more enjoyable games each alone than Halo 5 is in it's current state. I was okay with forge having a delayed release because I thought there would be content enough to satisfy two months of play time - I barely got two weeks out of it. I think that this game's custom games community will end up the same way as Halo 4 and MCC - simply nonexistent. The more I play Halo 5, the more I realise that it's probably one of the worst value for money games I've ever bought. At this point, I would rather play vanilla Destiny. At least the gunplay in that wasn't terrible.

The multiplayer is just frustrating; I rarely feel I get killed because the other person was better than me. That, combined with a story that just gets worse every time I think about it (combined with lolescalation) and I'm left with pretty much two positive things to say about Halo 5; the soundtrack is awesome and seeing sanghelios was amazing. That's it.

I liked escalation, sue me

Neither is Halo 5's.

The gunplay isn't bad though

I would rather play vanilla Destiny. At least the gunplay in that wasn't terrible.

Neither is Halo 5's.

Best it has ever been.

The aiming feels horrible after playing literally any other shooter that exists. At the best of times, it's alright, but that's pretty much it. The more I play the multiplayer the less I enjoy it.

Even when I'm winning, I don't enjoy this game. I just feel sorry for the other team. In Warzone, the match is just a meat grinder in the centre of the map until one team pushes forward and at that point, you may as well quit if you're on the losing team. And basing people's skill in arena off wins and losses just judges how lucky they've been with their teams.

I hopped back on to Battlefield on a map I've never played, while I was getting absolutely destroyed, my team was losing and I was rubber banding and I still had more fun in that than Halo 5.

You've got alot of good points. Ive found myself liking the game less and less. Playing through campaign is still fun, but the story is such shit. Fuck Brian Reed with a spent fuel rod

And Multiplayer just gets more frustrating each day. Im level 42, still with no DMR, I keep getting pointless shitty armors i'm never going to wear. The game is as much of an RNG grind as Destiny and while Multiplayer is nowhere near as fundementaly broken as Destiny's its still so riddled with problems. I want to keep loving this game but It's so hard to.

Gunplay is absolutely rediculous. Yes Halo 4 has way too much Aim-Assist but for fuck sake this is a CONSOLE game , removing it completely is absurd.
And then coupled with the awful aim acceleration,  I've never found it so hard to just hit people in any game. Halo MCC: CE when it had the negative aim assist was easier. I've had to turn my sensitivity back down to 3 to even be able to halfway aim and i'm still having issues lining up shots unless people are just standing still or walking strait.

And then inversely to compensate they increased the bullet magnetism which absolutely ruins SWAT. I cant count how many times I have gotten kills just by pulling the trigger and turning arround.

I wish to god I could derank because I really don't belong in platinum. I SUCK, see I ADMIT IT I SUCK, STOP MAKING ME PLAY AGAINST DIAMONDS, put me with other people who suck so at least we can sand a chance of practicing my shots instead of being expected to carry a team of golds against a team of partied up diamonds. WHY CANT I DERANK?

And then Warzone...

YouTube

And then on top of that the spawns are shit everywhere and don't even get me started on grenades...for fuck sake I though the spam was bad in H2A

The multiplayer is just frustrating; I rarely feel I get killed because the other person was better than me..

When I play Breakout there are a lot of times I end up emptying half my SMG into someone and jack shit happens. Then for the other person they can do the same thing but it seems like they put less bullets into me. And yes I was aiming at the person when I empty half a mag into them at close range.

That, combined with a story that just gets worse every time

What the hell did happen in between Halo 4 and this? I haven't read the books so I have no fucking idea what the hell is going on besides the events that took place in Halo 5. It's bullshit that 343 is expecting us to read the books in order to know what's going on in the game world. There should be at least a brief prologue telling us the events that took place between the games and who these characters are in a in game glossary. 

Also I do find aiming in this game hard as well. In Call of Duty I can easily aim and even in the campaign as well, but when it comes to the MP I have one hell of a time aiming at something like a chest. The person has to be basically standing still or walking in a straight line at me for me to easily aim at them. What's also annoying about aiming is that the sensitivity is too low even on 10. Going from a game like CoD which I played on 15 and going to this game is just shit. For me it takes ages to turn due to the gaps between those games.

And basing people's skill in arena off wins and losses just judges how lucky they've been with their teams.

When it comes to SWAT there are very few matches for me where it was skill based. The majority of them are won and lost due to spawns. Nearly every spawn I have it's almost right next to an enemy player. I move about 10ft away from my spawn and I end up getting gunned down due to that. One spawn it had me spawning in the cross fire of my team and the enemies team. I ended up dying as soon as I spawnd due to that bullshit.

I swear literal everything feels like it does way too much damage. Feels like i'n dying in 3 hits no mater what weapon it is. Even the wraith feels like it hits you 3 times with one shot

TBH nothing of ANY concequence happened, and Escalation all but retconed Spartan Ops out of existence.

343i's"Pro" players told them to intentionally fuck up the aim acceleration to promote some retarded "swipe-aiming" bullshit. But all it did was ruin the aiming for everybody but them and turned SWAT into a panic button simulator.

Pretty much nothing happened. The status quo is more or less the same as it was in Halo 4. The Janus Key went missing, the Absolute Record went boom and the Didact returned but got defeated again. There were a few good issues but the majority was average at best, terrible at worst.

Honestly, after playing Halo 5 nearly every day for about two weeks (no-lifing it will continue after finals >.>) aiming is pretty good. Sniping especially is great. Still feels a bit weird, but sniping is the easiest it's ever been IMO. Unless that's secretly just wonky hitboxes ._.

lmao people crying about aiming.
It's because the game doesn't hold your hand with copious amounts of aim assist like 99% of console shooters do.

The only real issue with aiming is the wonky acceleration at times, which is getting a patch.
