gaming Halo 5: The Good and The Bad (For those that have played it)

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,202]

Halo 5 has been released and to mostly high critical acclaim, many praise the graphics and the multiplayer and even the campaign to an extent. I have been playing the Multiplayer, currently only playing Arena and so far, I have mixed feelings about it. I do need to experience the other aspects but I was thinking, why not list some of the good and bad about the game so far? We all can do this in our own posts.

 

The Good

• The graphics are top notch for the series
• The performance is silky smooth
• The gunplay is probably the best the series has seen
• Sprinting is balanced fantastically
• Dedicated servers

Those are *some* of the good aspects that I have gathered from Arena so far, I may expand on both lists so this is just a start. Now, here is the bad:

 

The Bad

• No Splitscreen at all
• Capture the Flag and Strongholds are not in their own playlists
• Limited maps
• The Lobby system is horrible
• No emblem creator at all
• No Infection, Oddball, or Big Team Battle (yet)
• No Forge (Yet)
• The CSR ranking is not tuned very well, with unbalanced matches ruining ranks
• Others cannot join in a game if someone leaves, further ruining the CSR
• No Firefight

Now some of these negatives are most likely going ot be fixed and fixed for free, so I am holding the game on a more positive light at the moment despite the much higher list of bad's. What do you all think? What is your list?

I think the game was awesome, really. I don't have any major complaints about it besides that wicked curve ball the campaign threw at us.

Not played the multiplayer yet, not a big fan of halo multiplayer in general, lack of real ADS irritates me too much.

 

However i have played the campaign and without giving out spoilers i can say that i enjoyed it however it feels half finished and is way too short.

Whoa whoa whoa...whoa....
They released it without forge? That's the best part! :-;

Don't really do multiplayer, so I can't speak to that, but the campaign was quite silly once you stop and give it all of 10 seconds of thought, and they pulled a total Halo 2 on us. It feels so abrupt I'm half-expecting demands from Microsoft for more money for the second-half of the campaign.

I'm still playing the story and so far really enjoying the game. Havnt played any multiplayer yet. 
Though I would most likely recommend someone the game. 

However for no split screen, I dont really mind. Its nice but I still think its a good game even with out split screen.
