The campaign is intriguing, though the only "complaint" I have is that Halo 5's campaign, like Halo 2's before it, leaves you wanting more in the story since it's a set up for the climax in Halo 6. This is only a complaint in the sense that now I'm on the edge of my seat to see how the story ends in Halo 6, which would've happened no matter where they left me at the end of Halo 5. The game mechanics are really solid, and the ability to have your friends jump in mid-mission for coop play is a great addition.
Arena is a true return to form for exciting, fast online multiplayer. Matchmaking is extremely fast, with most of my matches taking no longer than 1-2 minutes to find. I really like the return to skill ranking after playing 10 matches to "qualify" into a rank within each playlist. This should really help players avoid getting matched into completely unbalanced matches. During the course of playing about 15 matches, I only had two instances where matchmaking couldn't locate a server. Still, it only took an extra minute to reload into matchmaking and immediately find another match. Not a bad start considering how badly other games (including MCC) have handled launch day matchmaking.
War Zone is a great combination of the best aspects of many other multiplayer modes from other games, all wrapped into one package. All at once, this game is zone control, standard PvP deathmatch, assault, and PvE boss fighting. With so many different plates to keep spinning with your team of 11 other players, there is a good variety of options for you team to win. You can try to capture all of the control points and assault the enemy team's core for an instant win, you can kill enemy players to gain points, or you can kill enemy AI bosses to gain points. The only issue with this game mode is that if your team lacks communication compared to your enemy, which can happen pretty easily if everyone is not using their mic, the score can snowball very quickly, with the losing team having a very slim chance of recovering. This is not a problem with the game mode, but something to keep in mind if you want to win.
Overall I am very pleased with Halo 5! It learned from the mistakes of 343's last launch, and the dev team also took a page from other successful games to gather an even bigger player base. I think it's unfortunate that so many other reviewers were uninformed about the decision to drop split screen play that was discussed months before launch, and are rating it poorly because of that. While it may have been a controversial decision, the general population's desire for higher fidelity graphics in all game types forced this move. While this is a new move for a Halo game, it's been done in games like TitanFall, Destiny, and others to great success. With the more common access to high speed internet access, it's inevitable for modes like split screen to disappear so that developers can make a better looking, better functioning game. As a Halo player since Combat Evolved all the way back on the original Xbox, I can understand the feeling of loss when I remember the fun I had as a kid playing with my friends before online multiplayer took off, but times are changing and we all need to keep up.
To end this review, I will simply say this: If you're on the fence about trying this game, try it. Do not listen to the negative reviews complaining about the lack of split screen. If you don't have access to high speed internet and you can only play local multiplayer, maybe don't buy this game, unless you want to see where the story goes.
I was really tempted to give this game more stars than I did. It was a bumpy start in the campaign, but when it took off boy was I impressed. I really appreciated how deep into the halo lore this game went, with a lot of work put into the forerunner and Elite world. However, there a few things that cannot go overlooked and other gamers must know before buying.
Campaign:
The best way to play this game is to not see it as Halo 5… rather simply a branch of Halo by 343. It’s not the same epic work as Halo 3, but you can tell the game had hard work put into it.
The campaign sunk me in. Every step of the way after maybe the first and second slow missions, I wanted to play more and enjoy 343’s work. However, when it ended, it was clear that the amount of content was not enough. I would gladly give up a bit of quantity for quality in a campaign mode… but the time I spent on the campaign without rushing anything was just too short, and when it ended, you feel like you got away too easily on completing your “great mission”, which was a shame… because I was motivated with the direction the game was taking. Sometimes you’re just in a part of the mission where you know you could get “squished like a bug”, but the antagonist lets you live just for kicks… that’s just not good writing. It felt like I was able to keep going just for the sake of the game continuing the game, and I gotta say that detached me from my pleasant flow. However, the music, the action, and the decently developed encounters along the way kept me satisfied, and let me enjoy the challenge ahead.
Multiplayer:
So after diving into the campaign, and finishing the story in a short few days, it was time to play what everyone in the reviews of practically every website praise about this game… it’s multiplayer. More specifically, the playlist called Warzone, which felt a lot like a mix of Titanfall, Call of Duty and Halo all in one game mode.
Warzone was quite a bit of fun. It made me want to experiment every weapon, keep on playing to earn packs – which is how you earn stuff like armor and weapons – and keep on practicing my team player skills. However, it really was not longer than a weekend of playing that made me realize this game has very, VERY poor matchmaking. I’m not talking about the matchmaking where you get put into a noob team every now and then because, well, it’s only fair to do so. I’m talking about a matchmaking system that really throws you off from playing Warzone… and that’s the only playlist I’ve taken the time to explore so far on my casual play schedule.
To put it simply… Sure, you can always try to make the best out of the fact you’re getting wrecked. But you have to spend your power weapon cards to even have a chance to take back some snowballing defeats, which is something you DON’T want to do when you’re getting smashed because you don’t want to waste them. In a situation like this you’ll just get quickly killed by a team using strategy, and find yourself mad that you dropped a rare weapon you bought several packs to get.
This happens quite a lot… and it’s frustrating to be constantly matched against a team that will end with a score of 1,000 to your meager 250, that basically controls the entire match. This isn’t really a bad thing if you plan to play with a sizeable group of friends, because strategy makes a game a very fun challenge. In fact, this game mode is GREAT if you have people willing to strategize with you, or are of the same skill level as the opponent. Close matches are the best. However, you run into far too many games where you get slaughtered and want to leave. The matchmaking system is simply too poor for casual players that want to log in and have fun grabbing objectives without a group.
Overall:
I’m going to keep giving this game a shot. I have run into a lot of good experiences playing Halo 5, but I really hope that I find a decent crew to play with me regularly after work or on the weekends, because that’s the only way I’ll truly progress in Warzone. I also look forward to exploring the other playlists. There is a neat series called The Fall of Reach I got with my limited edition CD, and it’s an interesting watch. It’s nothing big, just a brief animated series that is still releasing episodes. I’m overall satisfied with my purchase; I just wasn’t expecting this lack of appeal to casual players.
