Most old halo fans don't enjoy it. i know a guy can come and say I loved h3 and I love H5, but these maps, sprint and clamber are not halo for most the hardcore fans.

We have said it a billion times but they really only have to take a hard look at h2/h3 and design new maps and some basic new ideas to the gameplay mix

I don't think warzone was needed

btb at 8v8 is good

With bigger maps, more vehicles at 12 v 12 for a warzone with the basic halo design would have also worked really well.

I think a map like avalanche from H3 could be tested to be a bit bigger and have more players added along with its original 8 v 8 setup as well. Love that map...

There are hundreds of issues and why should we list them out when 343 obviously doesn't care and just wants to make the game they want. well, they can do that if they want but it won't bring us back. I just play this game cause it's one that actaully works decent on my connection at least.

New maps with some class maps such as guardian, pit narrows would bring us back. Bring back sniper fights where your teams have one on each side and can get into quick snipe battles and camo balls. I mean, why make things such as camo to pick up and press a button, while these things make more sense and look better in design, they just break small little things that work great in a game world.

There is nothing wrong with taking the base gameplay of halo without sprint, no clamber. You can still make new ideas to the base gameplay. Just look at h2 to h3 with the changes in map design was enough, with new lift ideas.

Speaking of which, why the hell i have to step on lifts in h5 to go up, its things like this that are just bad design choices. You don't change thigs that are made to work better in gameplay. I know 343 wants to put their hand in the cookie jar and say they are unique, but sometimes that cookie jar needs old faithful. I have doubt bungie test lifts where you have to step on them to get them to work, but going into thier pulse array to shoot you was probably made to make the game better and flow better.

You're asking them to remake a nearly 10 year old game.

Even as somebody with a ton of problems with Halo 5, that's insane.

You'd get some diehard Halo fans, and lose tons of people who would ask 'why should I pay $60 for the same fucking game?!'

Jack the nipper what the hell are you even talking about.

On the same page we have walls of text complaining how Halo has become too different, and how Halo is too much the same and needs to change.

343 shouldn't listen to the fans because the fans haven't a fucking clue what they're talking about.

Except me of course. Give us a god damn server region selector and we don't have to read endless posts about connection issues. Titanfall has it. Gears UE has it. What reasons have we been given for it not being included?

I'm guessing that they are afraid that player populations will sky dive once Black Ops releases (as did Halo 4), and so are keeping everyone grouped together as much as possible.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

As other people have said we need more permanent playlists (CTF / objective type) and keep the "fun/weird" stuff for the weekend playlist (shotty snipers / action shack etc)

About REQs
I think 343 needs to increase the permanent items you get from gold/silver REQ pack from 2 to 3-4 or increase the amount of RP you get from each game. I mean there are so many items to unlock it takes ages.........

They should have given some free armors/helmets from default there are 175 different armors/helmets + all the other stuff (skins,visors, emblems lol) and they will add more in the future, so why not give 10-15 armors for "free" + few other stuff like weapon skins.

OBJ game types need to stay in voting rotation in team arena. We don't need a shitload of playlists breaking up the population. And no, the REQ system doesn't need to give out more. The game just came out a week ago and people already want everything. I don't understand this mentality, but it's bullshit.

 

[RichiRamjag]

REQs are fun, I don't know where all the entitlement comes from.

From games in the past where the bulk of content was actually in the game. I'm not bitching about req packs, but come on. This shit with calling people entitled all the time has got to stop. There was a time when a game housed the majority of its content and you didn't have to buy shit a la carte.

That would be reasonable.

I've played Halo religiously since 1 and I think this is without a doubt the best since 2. How bout that fact Jack

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I'm guessing that they are afraid that player populations will sky dive once Black Ops releases (as did Halo 4), and so are keeping everyone grouped together as much as possible.

Surely they could use Gears Ultimate Edition as an example. That game uses dedicated servers and has a region selector.

I would assume Gears has a much smaller population than Halo 5, same goes for Titanfall. Just seems like something that would avoid a lot of frustration.

For what it's worth I haven't played a single laggy game yet. And I've matched with Americans, benefit of having great Internet I guess.

Warzone just needs a fuckton of work.

Shotty Snipers? Please, Halo 5 needs a permanent Action Sack playlist.

Spoiler

343 plz

Reading through this thread, the first thing that I realize is that I don't know the names of any of the maps. Which is the one with all the stair and that one patch of grass? I usually play it in SWAT? I hate that one.

Well, you know, it's just opinions, but he's right and the majority of actual fans agree with him so there, nyah.

I think you're talking about Pegasus. It's kind of a mess in SWAT, but so's everything else. Solid FFA map, tho.

Uh....Orion?

 

[Korosenai]

Last call, need one more for warzone. We gonna req some noobs.

Edit: all filled up now!

 

[Poodlestrike]

Orion has rocks, not grass.

I think.

But then again, Pegasus has a whole grassy lower level, so IDK.

That sounds possible. It's fairly ugly.

Uh....Orion?

Is that the one with the rocks on the one side with the sniper spawn? I'm not great huge on that one either. It's tricky getting up on that rock formation.

 

[Gravemind IV]

I picked up 'The Answer' variant of the SAW from someone. I envy the person that has a certification for that gun, it's disgustingly good.

It's not that tricky. You're supposed to walk up the tree on the side of the rock. It's still a terrible map though.

 

[Bread]

Best since 3.

Warzone just needs a fuckton of work.

Nah 3 is an absolute mess of a game. So much potential but they botched the shooting and movement.

 

[Orca]

I wish they had an orange shade that was more orange. I always try for the Oilers colours and can't really get it.

I always try to clamber, and hit it at an awkward angle. Walking up the tree seems like a deathtrap to me.

Best advice I have for ya is to drop your sensitivity and try to relax your hands and arms. Brought my accuracy up a solid 15%.

 

[shadowfall]

Question for Halo gaf. I am thinking of getting an Xbox One. I have played little bit Halo reach but not really other Halo games. I really enjoyed Gears of War 1,2 and 3 (skipped judgement).

With Black Friday right around the corner, Is it worth getting Xbox one just for Halo and gears? I primarily game on my PS4.

Damn, I was wondering how to unlock the other levels of powerups. Anyone know what you need or is it just another random unlock once you have the first level?

Lol. It's definitely not the easiest but I've never played below Legendary so I can't speak for heroic.

Random. It's a RARE Variety, so could take a while. I don't even have the Damage I Cert yet.

 

[Fuchsdh]

I actually really like Orion, but how well your team does is predicated on them understanding that you have to have hold down the bases and fuck up anyone who tries to get the sniper with the DMRs.

 

[March of the Crabs]

How come whenever I hit Y all I get is "Req Service Unavailable"? Everything else works fine.

So you've played about 1/3rd of the game.

 

[nib95]

This is honestly the cheesiest multiplayer I've ever played lol. I went like 4-5 matches with 2-7 kd in Slayer, and I'm not sure how much of it was actually my skill, and how much was just me picking up and using the right weapons, picking up enough nades, and catching enemies off guard.

This shit is not balanced. Also there's one particular map with the big space in between that looks like a Giant Guardian, if a team camps the right spots there, it is almost impossible for the opposing team to break free. You either get a rocket to the face or a long range snipe instead for just peeking out.

Also, I really hope they patch in some sort of empty slot filler. Every other game has at least one person dropping out. If not that, give additional bonuses to those who stay the course.

/rant


Oh and as blasphemous as it may sound, I'd actually love a lower ttk. Right now it's quite hard to take on multiple enemies at once, and whoever is with a bigger gang wins. I'm confident that if the ttk was just a tad lower, I'd be able to confidently take on multiple enemies at once, rather than picking them off one by one, spamming nades, or running away constantly till my shield repairs. I get that a lower time to kill isn't really Halo esque, but with these claustrophobic maps and crazy spawn points, it's almost necessary.

 

[op_ivy]

Probably late but there's a new halo community survey. Check your emails.


And the halo negative feedback loop has kicked in full effect lately. It goes like this, I play badly or get matched with idiots, get frustrated, play worse, get more frustrated, play worse still, and on, and on, and on. Time for a break.


Still have yet to see Pegasus at all. Playing almost strictly team arena and slayer. Regret only twice. Orion twice (thank god). What gives?

a teammate betrayed me with a ground pound after we had already won a match and the game gave me a choice of booting him. man that option shouldn't show up once the game is over

i don't wanna accidentally get someone banned over silly stuff

GAF group so far is 5-0. Four wins as defender without them getting the first base, and one win as attacker where we finished in 4:44.
