So is anyone else pumped for Halo 5?
I do have a few concerns of course since 343's attempt at MCC didn't go over to well with it's buggy launch. But after playing the beta and watching videos, I think Halo could make a slight comeback. Why? Because 343 started to listen to fans about how the multiplayer and mechanics worked for the series back in it's heyday.
With weapons back on the map and loadouts taken out, I think it will work for the game. When I played the beta, those spartan abilities given to you definitely were not over-used nor did they really alter how the game is played. They simply added a couple of maneuvers basically. I find that the smart-scope didn't change the way I battled at all. Only at very long "across the map" differences did I use it. The ranking system I am still not sure about but if pulled off correctly, could be good.
The one thing I also REALLY want to see return is the custom game/forge community via File Share! I remember just getting on Halo 3 and simply searching for latest race tracks made and I would have downloaded at least 10 each day to play with my friends. I hope they can revitalize this component as well as make a perfect forge where you can do everything in Halo 4's forge, but also change daytime settings, etc.
Anyone have any thoughts? I would love to discuss with you guys!
