Which isn't really much because most of what it has to offer is taken from other recent games.

Really?... some people say the most idiotic things...

Seems like Hunter is all for the peeing option in Halo. ;)

They should remove sprint and make the spartans faster in some other way. Make them walk faster or create a bunny jumping mechanic with the thrusters. Hell, you can't even do anything when you sprint.

They should make a matchmaking that works

Nah, although I dislike sprinting in my Halo, it seems that it is the most realistic and perhaps simplistic way to ease the traversing of the map.

I gotta say, the story in AW was not... that... awful... which is a first, haven't played anything else though because... come on... cod multiplayer, what do you expect will go on in that?

bumper jumper for me

and remove sprint, put in as armor ability, and put in halo 2 speed.

so... anyone not caring about the "new gametypes" territory aka stronghold, and one life slayer aka breakout

I heard there aren't any armor abilities in Halo 5 and I'm glad they aren't coming back. As for the 'one life' gametype, If 343 were to take another thing from CoD, I would rather have it be the Search and Destroy gametypes. That was the funnest gametype in CoD, IMO. The pressure is immense, and teamwork is a must. The icing on the cake was having banned Xbox party chat's making the whole lobby lively and full of all kinds of talk. The Objective kept the teams from camping, and that is the part I wish this gametype in Halo 5 had.

Strongholds is boring. Its like KOTH but sucky.

I wish I could play it but Ive spent 1 hour in the H5B and got to play 2 games of slayer. Stronghold always errors on me, even when I get into a full lobby.

Thats what I said.

Tune the movement to where the further up you push the left joystick the faster the player runs.

There are a few things in this game which I can tell were inspired by Destiny. Strongholds is a direct copy of Destiny's Control.

However, that doesn't make it a bad thing. These days, FPS games are all ripping off of each other. CoD AW took mechanics from Halo. Halo took mechanics from CoD. And Destiny took mechanics from both sides.

They do this, because the mechanics have been proven to work. Now, they may not be implemented in the best ways (Halo 4 was a testament to that), but eventually each game grows and helps each other advance.

I guess being safe means more cash money.

It's what makes the world go 'round.

Seems like these wise gentlemen are refuting why these 'proven to work' mechanics don't seem to in Halo. I agree with them.

omg 343 is copying bunggieieiei

The stronghold gametype is a copy of a ton of other games- way before Destiny.

the OP is really smart, I've been talking to him on Skype since reading his post, he's a SPV3 tester now as well.

The OP shares my opinion, therefore he is absolutely brilliant. Dare I say, he should win the noble prize for performing this ground-breaking research that aligns with my thoughts!

In unrelated news, the OP also plays Titanfall.

And that's why I don't buy physical copies

Titanfall isn't a bad game. It just didn't have as much reply as hoped and the new content just got added to late

I still stand by my original statements that it is a really good proof of concept of a full game. The added modes and patches have really expanded on a lot of stuff, and Frontier Defense is really a lot of fun.

titanfall is great, your opinion is wrong

That is a long link for an image

I still don't see how people think that Halo 5 is more like Call of Duty than Halo 4 was

A man wearing strength-enhancing body armor zips around the battlefield with his thrusterpack. He sprints for cover as bolts of energy lance over his head, then clambers over it to return fire. He peers down the sights of his assault rifle, its integral ammo indicator steadily decreasing with each burst. It hits 0 as another enemy combatant wheels around the corner. Seizing the moment, our protagonist jets into the air and fires his thrusters downwards, dispatching his opponent with a groundpound.

Did I just describe Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare or Halo 5?

But wait- people played Advanced Warfare? I'd say Halo 5 cause I haven't heard crap about AW

I guess it's just a matter of experience.

I never played COD: AW or payed any attention to it at all (honestly like I didn't even think COD was popular after BLOPS2). So when I played Halo 5, I didn't feel COD: AW, since I never have seen it beyond the E3 presentation.

When it comes to Halo 4, I feel MW/Blops influence a lot, but I actually played those games. Therefor playing Halo 5, I felt it went back on those things and returned to an arena style gameplay that Halo 4 was missing.

I've no experience with Halo 4's multiplayer, but I recently picked up a copy of Advanced Warfare, and when I compare it to what I've seen of Halo 5 (and Titanfall, for that matter), it looks like everything is slowly blending together.

It's the genre of FPS now. Fluent, fast movement. I personally like it if everything keeps in balance. Titanfall felt perfectly balanced. I wish Halo 5 had a bit more guns and vehicles (hopefully in full game), but for the most part (when the matchmaking system worked), it felt balanced.
