IMO: Why I think Halo 5 will be an Amazing Halo game

43 posts in this topic

IMO Halo 5 is going to be a truly memorable special game!

Yes I know it doesn't have split-screen and the additions are "controversial"... but bear with me!

 

The Campaign

 

7aSeKzB.png?1

 

The Campaign will be the Largest to date! with more than 20+ Missions all with Multiple routes, Collectibles, Skulls and Fully fledged 4 Player Co-op

First time we see Blue Team in a goddamn Halo game (Been wishing for this since Halo CE!) Fun fact in Halo 5 Blue Team and chief will have more lines and dialogue then all the novels combined!  Arbiter is back Buck is back and they all look amazing! Same with Dr.Halsey glad to see her in a game again and good to know she has a MAJOR role to play in Halo 5 guardians! I can't wait for Chief to reunite with her! It sure was awesome in Halo 4 when Halsey learned that John was still alive!

There are hundreds of different routes Halo 5 could take with the story Nobody knows what Halo 5 really is about who are the Guardians? Why is O.N,I Faking chief's death? Why is the Domain coming back? Who is the Warden Eternal?  What will Happen to Chief and his visions of Cortana? Will humanity reclaim the Mantle? Why is it called the darkest halo to date?!

 

 

The Contrast betweent the Two Teams OSIRIS and Blue Team is heavily shown and I can't wait to see how they will eventually Clash and cross paths!

                                                                         

The difference between these teams is obviously contrasted

 

The Soundtrack

Halo 5's OST is GOOD it is exactly what a Halo soundtrack needs to be. Main theme?... Check! Deep awesome Gregorian chanting?... check! Upbeat Battle music?.... Check

Sad melodic orchestra?... Check!.... JUST LISTEN TO IT! My favorites are... Halo Canticles,Skeleton Crew,Covenant Prayers,Walk Softly, WorldQuake, and Sentry Battle!

Multiplayer: Warzone and ARENA

 

The Multiplayer will have 25+ maps with 15+ coming FOR FREE as DLC + Community made maps being implemented into the fold post launch!

 

Arena has gone to it's roots with No loadouts, No killstreaks, No Perks, No bullshit

When I heard of the new abilities I was confused as to how these would work they certainly seemed like the game was going to be another cringey fail at 343s Part

But When I played the Beta I fucking loved it! Sprint doesn't feel forced and has a lot of potential in core gameplay, thrusters are well balanced and even more options, same with

Ground pound and Spartan Charge both are not FORCED and aren't over powered they require skill to use mindless run and gunning doesn't work for Sprinting Restarts your shield recharge delay so theoretically sprinting can only be used well when you are not in battle, Clamber is another addition! and this one I do like! it adds a lot of verticality to halo's gameplay and NO it does not remove the tricking of Crouch/trick jumping there are still tons of spots I found in the beta where Crouching + Clamber let me traverse them! hmm what else oh yeah "Smart scope"

Yeah yeah you're gonna say it's ADS blah blah well Visually it is BUT it plays well for DESCOPE has been brought back not to mention it doesn't increase your accuracy with Automatics and just gives you a better view of your target when flanking for of course using it head on doesn't work since DESCOPE has been brought back!

 

Keep in mind I only played the BETA and there have been a LOT of changes post -beta  Read the changes below!

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/how-fans-helped-shape-the-multiplayer-of-halo-5-guardians

 

 The new modes like Breakout are intense and FUN and add a whole new twist to the genre!

Check out Breakout and form your own opinion 

 

Now Warzones well that mode is fucking massive and it looks fun! and that's good! It incorporates all the aspects of the Halo sandbox into a huge entirely new experience!

                                         

 

The REQ System

 

                                          

 

The REQ system is an entirely new concept being brought into Halo 5 Guardians it will award players with Various items

Weapon Skins, Helmets, Suits,Assasination Animations,Emblems,,Vehicles,Weapon Variants,Visors,Stances.etc

There will be more than 1000+ REQ cards at launch with more to come POST launch for free including awesome weapons like the Halo CE Pistol the Original SPNKR Rocket Launcher Mark V armor, Mark IV.etc IMPORTANT the video I linked above does not contain all the Halo 5 REQ's those are from an older build the Full Collection will not be shown till Launch!

Before you say that REQS will unbalance Warzone or other such misconceptions please watch this video to learn HOW the system works
 
 
 
Forge, Theater, Community AND the little things that matter!
 
Now we really really don't have that many details on these 3 Essential parts of the Halo package BUT we do have some confirmations which are very interesting keep in mind in the next weeks it's been confirmed that we will be shown Forge in i'ts Brand new Enhanced glory same with Theater and Community features like File Share

-You Can disable ALL spartan abilities including sprint in Custom games

Tiddy-bits:

The game itself could be pretty good, but it's off of my radar as long as it's exclusive to the Xbone.

 

I'm sure Microsoft could make another Halo PC, but they're not going to, because they're too busy bailing water out of the sinking ship that is the Xbox One.

If the Xbox One is sinking, then the Wii U must already be at the bottom of the ocean.

The Xbox one isn't sinking it's fairly well off i'ts just that the PS4 has sold more so in comparision the Xbox one looks like it's dying

Im 100% sure that in the Holidays the Xbox one will suceed pretty well I mean they have a Fallout 4 1TB bundle for 400$. Halo 5 Limited Console bundle

Forza 6 Bundle Rise of The Tomb Raider Bundle, Kiddy game bundle, Gears of War bundle.etc

 

Even then there's a bright future incoming for the Xbox one especiallly with the New UI incoming in November and all the new awesome games releasing!

 

I have a PS4, PC, Xbox One and Wii U so I don't have to worry about exclusivity :P

 

The only "Halo" game ever coming to PC is Halo Wars 2...

Since, as a means of promoting the campaign, you've used the trailers, let me take a moment to highlight the reasons why these trailers make me distinctly not excited.

 

Blue Team Trailer

 

-While not a gripe with the trailer itself, Blue Team has always worn identical armor.  And now suddenly they're not. (I'm aware that that would make it difficult for players to tell them apart.  I'd be okay with their armor having different permutations on the helmets or chestpieces to facilitate their unique roles, but for fuck's sake it looks like they're wearing entirely different marks.)

 

-Noises in space.  (Pedantic, I'm aware.  Moving on.)

 

-Literally ignores all established Halo canon of explosive decompression; e.g. the INSTANT that window had a hole in it it should have EXPLODED outward, taking everything inside the room out to space.  Whatever didn't make it out to space before the shutter sealed would end up thrown into a bulkhead by hurricane-force winds.  This is not science, but it's Bungie science as established by numerous books.

 

-Blue Team then proceeds to... fan out, lower their rifles, and strike a heroic pose.  With enemies in the room.

 

Moving on!

 

Fireteam Osiris(Halo 5 Opening Cinematic)

 

This trailer drives me up the wall.

 

-Radio check... WHILE FALLING.  IN DANGER ALREADY.  If someone's radio was broken?  Oops!  Too late!  Tactical error.

 

-There is a distinct reason that airdrops should not be performed in the middle of a battlefield.  Especially when every combatant afield is hostile.  Why?  Because suddenly there are hundreds of weapons trained on you.  Literally.  They're not depicting a little skirmish, that's a battle with hundreds of combatants, and I guarantee they're not all going to be too stunned by your divine radiance to blow you away.  Tactical error.  Which brings me to...

 

-Not one of those Covenant or Prometheans could land a shot.  There are hundreds of them and four Spartans, using energy weapons with distinctly more radius than bullets, and not a single bloody shot landed.  That's not how it works, buddy.  Sorry.

 

-You airdropped onto a steep incline.  Steep enough to literally slide your way to the bottom.  That's also steep enough for your gear to become tangled on a rock, trip, and go somersaulting into a Hunter.  Tactical error.

 

-And why in the bloody hell, if they need to get to the bottom of the hill, didn't they drop to the bottom of the hill?  Four Spartans isn't going to clear that battlefield, unless 343i also says Spartans are magic.  Which they might be, who knows.  Either way, tactical error.

 

If these are supposed to be master tacticians, I fear for the UNSC.

I'm not comparing the Xbox One sales to the PS4 sales to conclude that they're dead. If I did that, then iOS would be considered "dying" compared to Android even though everyone and their dog have smartphones.
