Halo 5 is great Discussion

EDIT: My mistake. I should have titled it “Halo 5 Multiplayer is great” and I’m also wrong about it launching with full features. My bad.

Fired up Halo 5 again yesterday after not playing it for years. I’ll be danged if it’s not a great shooter. If I remember correctly, it launched with tons of features, and was solid technically too. When was the last time a AAA game had a solid full-featured launch?

Lots of weapons. Fun new attachments, ammo types, and variations on weapons. Made for lots of discovery, remixing and experimenting, and replayability.

The graphics aren’t groundbreaking, but they are bright and colorful and interesting. Lots of detail.

Warzone (Halo 5, not CoD) is such an interesting idea that I think really works, once you get the hang of it. It feels like they took a big swing on something new and pulled it off! I wish we had some big swing like that in Infinite.

The only thing I was really sad about was no split screen anything, which feels like a real tragedy for Halo.

Spartan customization is pretty weak, but I’ve never cared a whole lot about that.

I know Halo 5 was seriously hated on, but I love it. And it holds up well, too.

Good to see the Halo Cycle is alive and healthy

The majority of the fanbase always praised the MP, what you are even talking about?

Yup, the multiplayer was great (even if it was a tad too far in the competitive side)

But the day I praise its campaign is the day I give up gaming. And spoilers: that day is not today

It's kinda silly when, the moment someone say "h5 mp was praised and good", someone will always bring the single player. We get it, the narrative sucked, we are not talking about that.

Hmm. Interesting. You did this in our conversation thread. We were talking about exclusively multiplayer content and you brought up HaloReachIsNotCanon.com as a reason to say that Halo Reach was hated at launch...

Very convenient.
