Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Halo 5 disappointed at GamesCom.That say the "GamePro" magazine

Burek on 07 August 2015

I never was into Halo even when I had the console to play it on. But I still think it's one of the best franchises around. Sadly, it seems a bit down from the Bungie era, doubt 343 will ever be able.to elevate themselves to such high standards.

All I gathered from press reviews coming out of Gamescom, a lot of them had complaints about SP. Of course, those are all subjective views on a portion of the campaign.
The biggest gripe from some was a persistent 4 player squad even when playing solo (3 AI teammates), but paired with dropping of local co-op.

I'm not completely sold on halo 5's so yet. But as far as the mp goes im not worried. Not only do they have the uber competitive side in arena they are going after the casual side in warzone. No more trying to get a middle ground like 4 did.20 maps to boot is crazy. Previous Halo games had 9-12 maps. And forge maps will be there too, and they're vastly improved as seen from the beta. This game as loads of content.... Oh ya its gunna have btb and 15 free maps. Crazy. It's gunna leave the other shooters in its dust with its replay ability. Although dealing with those you younglings screaming into the mic(it's rated T) when I wreck them will be annoying.

This game will do just fine. Will it sell 10 million, idk. If not its cause the console is less popular. But it will be the best selling X1 game.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Warzone is all I need.

But I am.sure like any other shooter, the campaign has ebbs and flows.

I imploringly hope 343 chose the most unimpressive campaign mission for the gamescom demo. To me halo means impressive Space panorama, spectacularly staged fights and entertaining/fun vehicle passages. Instead I only saw boring non-stop shooting in grey spacestations.

I´m also not yet convinced with the co-op focus: On one hand there really were a couple cool scenes, in which I felt part of a team. And the different story and gameplay aspects of the individual characters may be able to motivate me to replay some missions.

On the other hand Halo 5 seemed to be more of a multiplayer shooter during the shown mission. In the level design as well as with the innumerable amount of  display messages. What stays behind is the hope , that the single player campaign sold itself under value at this gamescom. End of october we will know more

Thanks, I hope that it was just a  weak level and most of it is better. I'm honestly not sold on 343s ability to deliver the level of quality the Halo series is used to though.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

I'm just disappointed it's on the xbox one, I mean that hardware limitation is awful. Minds well be on the ColecolVision. Also how do you expect something good when MCC is still having issues?
