I really really really don't like what they've done with the sandbox.
Theirs weapons better than your starting weapons spawning every 20 seconds all across the map, you can say this death of the utility weapon is good, but getting boned off your spawn repeatedly because the guy has a non power weapon, weapon that's better than yours is insanely frustrating. Literally feels like im playing a RPG off spawn trying to grab a weapon to replace my AR/Pistol.
These maps are designed 100% to use all the new movement mechanics, which on paper doesn't sound so bad, but in reality is awful. They overdid it. Halo used to be about power weapon control and positioning, now positioning is out the window with sprinting thrusting hovering to all kinds of places. With maps making brain-dead automatic fights a common occurrence.
Radar shows your EXACTLY where the other person is at all times when hes around you, do I need to even explain why this is dumb?
There's so much magnetism its insane, I've seen so many more ridiculous clips in this game than any other. I cant watch h5 montages, 1/3 of the clips the guy misses shots and it connects. I would gladly take a 50% magnetism reduction for like a 30% auto aim increase. How the hell does this ever hit me?? and it wasnt lag, its the game. xboxdvr.com/gamer/aZeezbruh/video/21313919
The reason people say "This isn't Halo" is because of all this. Halo 5 plays more like a Call of Duty with you spawning with a m16 with iron sights, and there's better AR's and SMG's laying around that you can pick up, than a Halo game. I'm alright with it but they need to tilt it more twords old Halo IMO. I guess we will find out what they do with Halo 6 soonish (17 months till beta?)
Also the fact that its a chore to enjoy H5, it feels hardcore and has a huge lack of social stuff. Don't forget lack of content at launch and other "Wat" decisions.
