youre right even johnlex2 SP is better... he evolved to Reus.

I honestly don't see how enhanced mobility and everything that comes with it like charge and pounding reminds you of H1/H3.

ohhh m8 you're underestimating the grass power

I'm not too sure I liked the direction they went, it was also REALLY short in my opinion. I finished it in about 3 hours if that, can't really remember.

Spoilers:
The vertical environments where annoying, most of the time you can skip most of the enemies and get to the next part, because they are below you or above you, you don't always have a need to kill them all, but really you should be fighting through them!

The evil Cortana idea seems stupid, personally I would of preferred Chief find Cortana and get her back, and then claim the mantal himself instead of Cortana getting the PMS Syndrome...! aha!

Making her evil is simply going to ensure her death at some point in the franchise as no one is going to trust her, not even Chief...

As a whole, the entire campaign story to me seemed rushed... there was no slowing down a little in any missions, feels like they want you to rush to the end of the game!

But I think Halo 6 is going to be very interesting, but they need to flesh it out a bit more really... Can't make my mind up if I liked Halo 5 or not...

If you read the comics, he's also a total villain. It's a huge shame that they actually wrote him as a pretty awesome classic villain, but didn't bring him back for this game. I can guarantee you he will be in Halo 6 though.

im not a fan of the new movement system. map design is kinda meh imo but the rest of multiplayer seems pretty solid. campaign story has some really bad writing XD like destiny bad.

the ai dont feel as dynamic as they used to in other games (could be less variety in characters or maybe the promethians just suck)

i wasnt a fan of 343's artstyle before and nothing has changed since then.

pretty much about the same way i feel about halo 4 but flipped. campaign sucked mp is good.

In terms of equal starts, on map pickups, power weapons on timers. I am looking forward to playing custom games with most if not all the Spartan abilities disabled.

This is a bit off topic

but since when did you join the forums? xD

I've got the idea that you're really new and now you already have a personality xD

yeah, i started seeing him since like 2 days ago

It's alteros

That explains everything

Another h5 thread.


yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

(Minor spoilers for those who haven't read the comics)

Ah, I wish. Though I'm pretty sure he was killed in the comics (Halo : Escalation I think). He might return, but not in his original form (I think chief hinted at him not being dead but "contained"). I find it odd how 343 build up this villain throughout halo 4 only to kill him off in a comic that most fans probably won't read. He seemed more interesting than a rampant cortana suddenly trying to overtake the galaxy.

Give it a month and people will see it for what it is.

Disliking Halo 5 doesn't automatically mean being a Bungie fanboy.

I personally hate the BungieVision of today more than 343.

Turrent*

lololol

The only reason I think he's going to make a return is because he's done so before (he took over Born Stellar at some point) and because he controlled the Prometheans that originate from the Composers' reservoir of data. Also, the way they left him from the end of Halo 4 (falling into the Composer) and the end of Escalation (being Composed) more or less leads to the same potential. I don't know, I have a really strong feeling he's going to return as Halo 6's ultimate bad guy.

On the topic of Halo 5's longevity, every review so far is in love with the multiplayer. As long as 343i follows up well, Halo 5 could last quite a long time and I'm especially confident it'll last longer than Halo 4. Unlike before, there aren't as many other releases taking away its thunder and this time Halo is a flagship exclusive on XBONE.

To add on to that, CoD is on tilt.

I can say I had a ton of fun with a legendary play through with my friends despite your super low HP. Had a great time with the gameplay, but god that story was just so poorly written. Dunno why they made the Spartan Ops guy in charge of where the story was going.

BTW you are going to by Windows 10, AMD APU, 8GB DDR3 RAM?

It is the first time where I not going to buy a XBOX Console anymore. I have a Jtag Xbox 360 where I can create AI mods and other things. What I need more?

Microsoft released a XBOX 360 Emulator and the Halo Games from 1 to 5 for Windows 10. Why I should going to buy a Xbox One that is just a crap PC running Windows 10?

+1

Haven't played it, probably wont, read enough and seen enough to know I'm already going to dislike the gameplay and campaign. I also hear there's micro transactions as "inquisition cards", what are they even doing?

BTW did you seen this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGY7flT8e_E This is the new style playing Halo what 343i created. Did 343i not said that bullets slow down your enemy and your Shield doesnt recharge if you are still running?
Edited by SAM on Nov 6, 2015 at 07:58 AM

I am not a fan of the game, but the whole microtransactions thing is overblown. Basically you get REQ points after each game, the better you do the more you get, and you can buy REQ packs which have add ons for your character that are cosmetic for arena or guns and vehicles for warzone. But you can also purchase REQ points, but you still have to play well to get the right to earn them for warzone.

I guess video games of the future will no longer but based on fun but the Dlc

This has literally been the model for games since 2007, maybe 2004.

At least the REQ packs don't require extra money to obtain.

Edited by DarkHalo003 on Nov 6, 2015 at 11:37 AM

Im all for Dlc providing it is not misused.

Expansion packs and such back in the day used to be epic. (Bf2)

Now the case is 3 new maps and overused texures/models.

Whether the campaign is good or not, I won't be getting the game unless it was free.

The reason is because splitscreen play was a huge deal for my friends and I. Take that away and we can no longer lug around our xboxes to each others house to play the games. Sure we could play together through Xbox Live but that requires both of us to buy an xbox, get LIVE, and get the game. It's not necessarily out of our reach, but it's far more expensive than the current forced method. Oh well, I got bored of the Halo series now anyway. I admit I have no real interest in playing H5 at all. I know I'll get to it eventually just because of a small obligation to finish out the campaigns, but unless it amazes me, I won't be buying the game. I most certainly won't be getting an Xbox One just for this game :v

There's literally nothing wrong with REQ packs besides the fact that everything is a random unlock, prolonging your time with the game if you're seeking to unlock one specific item. You can either spend $1.99 or play really well in two Warzone matches to earn 5,000 points to unlock a Silver pack. Oh sorry that there's an opportunity for dumb lazy people to waste their money (which funds the HCS prize pool and free DLC,) when I can get along fine with the $0 I've spent on the game since launch.

Fifa Ultimate Team.

Really instead of using the profits to increase the esports winning price,they should've used the money to hire Certain Affinity to create a map pack or whatever.

Completely agree. Only a very minor part of the Halo gamer population has any benefit from these esports winnings. In fact, the majority, most likely, does not care about other people winning those events.

BUT S-SPORTS COMPEDITIVE HALO!!!!

I agree. There doesn't need to be a cash prize pool for it.

Heck, just make the game good and third parties will automatically host tournaments.

Though those will be less frequent either way because no system link AFAIK.
Edited by Mootjuh on Nov 8, 2015 at 02:04 AM

Most eSports tournaments like DotA2, LoL, HotS, and SC2 don't use System Link and they're not shy of third-party sponsors.

Really it all depends on what 343i/Microsoft are willing to cough up to ensure the networks at each venue aren't remotely liable to dropping players out or causing host issues. Given all of the former have issues with that from time to time, I doubt that would be an issue for sponsors. The fact of the matter is that it all boils down to views, which boils down to the longevity of Halo 5 multiplayer. Given a slew of players are vehemently defending Halo 5's multiplayer, even the microtransactions, I'd say it's off to a good start.

Edited by DarkHalo003 on Nov 8, 2015 at 04:17 PM

The arena multiplayer is the only thing that really plays well. They did a good job with it but it needs more diverse maps, and not all symmetrical jump and clamber everywhere styled layouts.

Forge will make or break this game for me.

Yea, most games that care about fostering a competitive scene have LAN options. (and aren't played on consoles)

Yea, Especially for CS, some of the biggest tournaments are 3rd party ones.
