Played through the story and I thought it was fun. It's no Halo 3 but it's fine. Not enough crazy vehicle sections. Other than that it really kept me hooked. I don't see the hate. Looks great and the music is cool. All the weapons are fun and it plays great.
Multiplayer is still a shitload of fun. I just don't think people will stick with it. Destiny still has everyone hooked. Destiny's loot system is just too addicting. Also Black ops 3 is out on Friday. Halo had one nice weekend :(
The Trials of Osiris being the weekend that Halo came out was no coincidence. I'll be back on after they're over, and especially when BTB is put in.
I have no interest in Blops 3 after playing this multi, and Destiny is still bad.
I think H5 is really good, I just wish it had more maps.
I'm looking forward to some blops 3,but I will always jump into a halo game if I get an invite! Even MCC, it rules!
I wish there was some sort of horde mode and I don't like how basic and generic that most of the gun play feels. Being able to customize my basic loadout and not having to rearrange it every time I hit a certain req level would help a lot. Maybe I can and just haven't unlocked it yet? Also forgot how much I detest the Halo losing-scope-when-hit thing, this small thing might be what drives me away the most.
One thing that is amazing coming back from Destiny is being able to run across a room and not get stuck on four small rocks and two power cords. It definitely plays really smoothly which is great, I just wish the weapons felt different. Going to take me a while to get used to this again, I'm hilariously bad right now.
You aren't the only one shitty. I'm fucking terrible. I don't know why.
I don't think I am terrible right now. I'm only in Gold though.
This game is really great in MP (maybe best in series?), but it's really weird to play a Halo without some kind of Warthogs in Blood Gulch. BTB needs to hurry up.
There's a lot of factors at work that affect me. The aforementioned losing zoom when getting hit, less auto-aim than Destiny, more grenade spammy, smaller radar view, etc. It's also harder to learn from my deaths as they're happening because Destiny shows you that This Guy killed you with This Gun standing in This Spot, while Halo 5 just goes, "You died for some reason. Here's a tree to stare at."Quote:

The assault rifle seems a lot better to me than I remember it being. I think I do way better with that gun than with something like the battle rifle.
Everyone is already bitching about how this doesn't play exactly like the first Halo game they played. I'm anticipating a big drop off although it makes me sad as I think it's really great. The Halo community, like the shmup community and others, has eaten itself.
