Ike Amadi's acting was dope as Locke, and I could totally picture him voicing Locke as an actual shady, Masterchief-hunting ONI puppet, but sadly we got what we got :(
HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! very true I wanted to see this new side to halo with shady oni and the false propaganda.. damn the level of hype I felt for the 'idea' of halo 5 is something I'll never feel again
I would've cared about locke if he learned chief was good and became a sort of rebel that trusted no one in the UNSC by the end of the game and had some more character.
Definitely agree, he could've been this RC-1138-like (Republic Commando protagonist) character whom the 'lower' non-ONI personnel are reluctantly forced to bend and conform to when he turns up. He says little, but what he says essentially trumps all the 'good guy' Marines like "Listen to me, or you're gonna vanish in a week" to show that ONI Spook distaste.
@@kestrel4360 it didn't make any sense lol. Just a sloppy lazy disjointed retcon of the past 10 years of halo. I've seen better stories written by kids in hs lol
I think Mike Colter was originally supposed to voice Locke, hence why they modelled his face after him, but for some reason, the actor was unavailable when they were about to voice his lines, so they hired Ike Amadi to basically do a Mike Colter impression...which worked so well that no one can really tell the difference.
@@Flufux Mike Colter just wasn't a good voice actor for the role. He was the one who voiced Locke in H2A and you can hear the difference between him and Ike in H5. He's a good actor, just not a good voice actor. You can see some of his motion capture stuff with the other VA's in some Halo 5 behind the scenes videos and he seems pretty amateur compared to the other more seasoned voice actors.
@@abelramirez7320 I'd be really interested with odst firefight but with the req system. I think being able to call in your own vehicles would be awesome
Meh... that’s only thing that they brought back that I didn’t. Why can’t I customize how I want firefight like I did back in Reach, why can’t I have infinite waves, etc.
I'm definitely one of those people that called him toxic. I'm sorry Act Man. You are not toxic. You are good for the Halo community. Along with the other Halo youtubers, you are the voice of the community in which 343 needs to listen to to ensure Halo 6 is exactly what the fans want. Good job!
All good, dude! I don't expect people to always agree with me, just at least see my side of things, spark some good discussion! Know that whatever videos I make come from a place of passion
I liked the downtime they had in some of the missions where you can go around and talk to random people, but I wish they elaborated on it more and actually shown what Elite civilians looks like or put in some mini game modes just for achievements or whatever. And I HATED how they had so many invisible walls in the game. Part of the gun in Halo is just exploring and goofing off during missions. They should add more of those moments.
Seriously I was excited to see that there was a female elite talking in the radio, So I thought maybe we’ll see like civilian elites like moms, children, and farmers. Instead we got a group of elites and grunts just hanging out.
Bro, not even a damn NOD! Remember that nod at the end of Halo 3? Both of them were just like: Chief: *Nod (you ok?) Arbiter: *Nod (Yea bro, I'm good.) Chief: *Nod (Fuck yeah, let's DO THIS!)
you would've thought that their relationship would be tight after he came back but they went from sworn enemy to closest allies to acquaintances so fast. i feel as if even he would've made a better villain reveal than cortana.
playing as an elite would be dope again, you can have an human vs elite online mission that is even based in lore (since the h4 and h5 online are simulations thus making it realistic that 2 allies would train together). and yes playing as an promethean soldier would be dope, maybe add in an random powerup on the map that temporarily upgrades you to an knight.
Story wise you’d have no reason to be a promethean because it’s not like the arbiter in H2, multi player, would be interesting but would be hard to implement without making it unbalanced. Since first you’d have to significantly lower health pools on them and second they have some pretty broken abilities that wouldn’t be fit for MP. But that’s if you were a knight. Soilders are just idk, they don’t do anything that stands out really, except scream at you when their armor is broken.
Tim H And what’s not unique about prometheans? Knights can teleport, have a shotgun/rifle arm and a sword that can easily act as a shield as their other arm with pretty unique design. Soilders I can see not being the most unique because they are basically the spartan/elite version of prometheans but the knights are pretty interesting.
I think a reason people regard many halo youtubers a primarily negative is because these days it's just a sad fact that there's more bad then good going on with the franchise.
WafflingMean44 i agree... besides if you liked the game or not the bugs are terrible... i honestly didn't care about all the bad decision made by whoever the fuck made and shoved out the game... but the bugs completely ruined my experience...like please tell me why the fuck it takes 4 min just to load all my reqs in warzone. to many NEGATIVE bugs make a shitty game regardless of whether who likes it.
Kota The Goon I don't understand. I'm level 120 and I don't have to wait for my Reqs to load. Do you perhaps live in Australia? And what glitches (plural) do you speak of? From day one of owning Halo 5 to today, the only glitch I've ever experienced is in the Theater fast forward.
DeltaWolf X hold up lemme try to remember... 1)req loading time 2)falling through floor in warzone 3)story glitching out forcing you to load last checkpoint annoying especially on legendary 4)no music starting warzone match 5)AI enemies shooting me without looking at me 6)4 of my forge maps becoming corrupted forcing me to delete them. 7)theater 8)forge constantly crashing 9)2 min load for me to see my spartan trying to customize 10) AI name there but model no where to be found... 11)being stuck outside forge map 12)losing control of character after returning from home 13)objective disappearing in story 14)not giving me helioskrill armor after beating ALL HALOS ON LEGENDARY 15)ALMOST everything in warzone firefight to AI staying still to enemies being able to shoot you from around corners.. and finally, there are many bugs that can be considered as benign but regardless they are left in game INTERNET ?lololol hardly it wouldn't make sense to affect only certain game modes bud... its simple me and my buddies talk about these mishaps on 343s end all the time and unless YOU live in Australia lololol im pretty sure you can look up these BUG(S) yesss bugssss PLUUUURAAAL!!! there pretty common but you clearly wouldn't kno because you have a god console i geuss
One reason I like this video: because unlike very other halo critic, you state what they did right. when all your criticism is negative, you come off as someone that doesn't have the games best interest in mind.
Nana Yaw so the base word of critisism is critisize. and that means to point out faults. you're talking about praise. the reason most people dont have anything good to say about halo 5 is because it doesn't feel like the halo we grew up with. and it isnt. hopefully it can be again someday.
MeditatedNut 333 remember when Netflix launched? People thought it was terrible. Now it's huge. People think keeping the same old thing is what's best for a franchise but will complain when they release a stale game that hasn't changed for 10 years
The thing that made me mad and is the reason I still have not bought Halo 5 (though I have played and have gotten pretty decent at the game's multiplayer) is the misleading marketing. I was all ready for this hunt the truth premise and Locke trying to track and kill/capture Master Chief. And then all that hype and build up led to a 45 second confrontation where the trade a few punches.
With how negative and toxic almost all gaming channels are now, I appreciate this channel more than ever. This guy is always accurate, well thought out, well written, great editing, and up beat(even when he is doing why is -- so bad) this guy knows what makes a great game, keeps all politics, trendy BS, and console fanboyism out.
Speaking of warzone, I feel a complete removal of the req-lootbox system would be possible with, instead of using points to buy req packs, one just buys the things they want, with different variants costing more or less respectively.The respawning vehicles could serve as a kind of 'baseline' thing, with point-purchasable vehicle charges being used to either activate the construction yards for vehicles or calling them in via pelican drop, and charges could be either bought in-game or in the menus. Another thing warzone needed was more than just 9 req levels. It stuns me how some power weapons cost as much as a scorpion.
I agree. By doing what he said in the video, you remove almost all of the individual feeling of reward as it’s for the whole team. It also means noobs who camp at base get to use the cool stuff that the good players earned because they’re closer. By making it so you to buy the reqs you want with points and then req them in like you do now, you keep the reward and remove loot boxes. Also, really like your idea of the baseline things. However, I would go further by making it so each map has a diverse pool of vehicles to choose from that is unique to that map and accentuates the good features of that map (maps can have some of the same vehicles, just most have to different). Also, having various power weapons placed sparsely around the map would also be cool e.g. a sniper rifle that spawns in a vantage point looking at a base so that one team can get it and snipe the enemy base.
7:22 "every couple of minutes, a pelican comes and sends some drop pods, drops off a scorpion or a vehicle..." Well, we finally got it with infinite, 6 years later, we came a long way haha.
Um, Ike Amada didn't voice Locke in the H2A cutscene. That was Mike Colter, the actor who Locke's facial and motion capture is based off of. At some point between recording that scene and the making of the "Traitor" trailer, Mike's voice was replaced with Ike's. They do sound pretty damn similar to one another, though.
if it's not halo why is the name halo its title and why are the weapons and characters from halo in this game and the old art style is gone because the covenant switched there army and the Spartans upgraded the armor it's about the story
Finally you made a postive video about halo 5 because there is some good things about halo 5 that no one talks about and I hope the good things are improved upon in halo 6.
Haha this video was long overdue! I just want people to know that despite all the videos I've made, there is some good stuff in Halo 5 that should not go unnoticed
Josh Lits noone talks about the things that are good about h5 because 343 the dumb ass company that it is will see it as a praise and will only focus on that instead of the real problems in that game. The way i see it if noone adresses the issues h5 had which were a lot and u cannot deny. Then the next halo game will have the same exact issue possibly a lot more and thats when the game will be dropped. As much as i hate the negativity in a community but you really cant help but realize that a balance between negativity is a good thing in a community
Rtas 'Vadum I never pay! You just have to play 2 years in a row without spending any rec item. And than boom, 2 years later, you can win the warzone firefight!
@@brennanbowser8650 it isn't. I don't have to pay 2 win warzone firefight and I still win most of the games. I am only a level 62 and I win most Warzone games. If you have time during your day, you only have to play 5 - 8 Warzone games to win a gold req pack and that is enough.
Hope you guys enjoy the video! Thought this one was a bit overdue ;) Hope you're all looking forward to Part 2 of Why Halo: Reach's Campaign is SO AWESOME!
The Act Man I really liked this positive video! While I think your criticisms are good and necessary content, what you said in your vlog about MCC is true, and I really appreciate when you create positive content like this. Keep being awesome!
( The Act Man ) : *HELL YES* , my favorite game of all time, and hearing people agreeing with your logic about how *GOOD* Reach was, makes me a happy person!
3:30, Jesus Christ. I thought that was ME that you killed. That exact MK 6, and Hunter armor and color was what I used for a while before I got the Wrath armor XD
Hello The Act Man! Before I begin, I have to say that I was a part of people who thought you were toxic, feeding a community of fans staying living at the "bungie period". When I discovered your channel, it was with the part 1 of your "Why H5 campaign is so bad?". I did not agree with everything but I found the video well made. But then, I watched an other video, an other video and an other video and finally, the only thing that came out after this was "Halo 5 bashing". This feeling was also reinforced by the fact I did not begin to play to Halo 5 at Day 1 because of my studies so, a lot of bugs you were talking about were already fixed so I did not have the same frustration you had when I played my first Halo 5 game. But then, you see, you needed only one video were you say good stuff about Halo 5, only one, and now I like your argumentation because, even if you continue to say bad things about H5, about the 343i's decisions, I now you can find good points, and not only focus on the bad aspects. Now to answer to the question you asked in your video, I really enjoy the REQ system. I am a huge fan of Collecting Card games like Magic: The Gathering so I just can't dislike this system. BUT I think it can be improved like, I don't now, keeping this system for the Warzone and Firefight but go back to the old system for the personnalisation. Or, an other alternative would be keeping the REQ system as it is now but adding a new armor category (like, I don't know, "War Trophies") that only can be unlocked with citations and success. Sorry if I made some english mistakes ^^ A french Halo fan ;)
The best thing about Halo 5 was indeed the gameplay and multiplayer, everything about it felt good, the thing is that it doesnt really feel like a Halo game, it also doesnt feel like a CoD, but its something in between, the game is good, but its isn't a good Halo game.
@@val5756 The problem is the Halo trilogy was successful because of a series of thoughtful design decisions - to which 343 promptly shoehorned in kill streaks, kill cams, load outs, sprint etc. I'm not opposed to advancing Halos formula, but it should have been done more gradually with logical design reasons.. not just to blatantly rip from COD.
@@FlyingThruCanyons Halo 5 didn't have kill streaks or loadouts or kill cams Sprint makes sense cuz you're a goddamn soldier and why does sprinting have to be a problem I need to know this damn argument I've been hearing this crap since reach and I've been and I know people who've been here in this crap before Halo 2 because Halo 2 was apparently going to have it but cut because of time
@@knucklessammich3875 yea never understood that argument. I like the faster pace which is why I play more halo reach than the other halo games on mcc. The other games feel slower and ttk is longer(atleast for me cause I kinda suck).
What, if anything, did YOU like about Halo 5? And could that thing have been improved in some form or another to make you like/enjoy it even more? Post your thoughts, comments, and opinions as always ;)
The Act Man what did you think about the switching seats feature? I thought it was a little annoying because it made a vehicle like a warthog which took team communication between a driver and gunner obsolete.
Robert McCoy Warthogs etc. still take teamwork... it's not like you can drive and shoot at the same time lol. It's really useful in game types like firefight.
War zone maps, but big team battle slayer instead of actual war zone. That is my dream. Also imagine a 20 v 20 or 50 v 50 halo match in a war zone map.
343 did have a reason for cutting splitscreen. I had the opportunity to talk with some employees through a friend. one worked on campaign and the other on multiplayer, particularly warzone. 343 had every intention of including splitscreen, and cut corners graphically to achieve it, but if 343 were to include splitscreen in halo 5, they would need to recreate the physics engine (made to be locked at 60 fps to actually utilize the 60 frames, which with splitscreen would limit the game to 30 fps) as well as severely hinder warzone. Warzone would have no AI, and half the amount of vehicles it currently holds. I'm no 343 fanbo, I have a lot of gripes about sprint and such in halo 5, but there is a reason behind no splitscreen. honestly I've got no idea why 343 has such an issue being transparent in their announcements with things like splitscreen.
Although that sounds really difficult and stuff, it’s there job to please the consumer, why would they have not built up from the fundamentals first to see if things would fit, rather than making an engine not capable of achieving the basics?
I actually grew to appreciate the new spartan armor (now hear me out) I by all means don’t prefer this armor art style over the originals, however found that it had (from a story standpoint) built an image or reputation for itself for the newer generations of Spartans. It had become a part of my head canon that Spartan 4’s were as fast and more agile as Spartan 2s were strong and disciplined. That is not to say that a spartan 4 would destroy spartan 2s infact I think quite the opposite, but I like the idea that the newer Spartans are better at some things that perhaps older Spartans are not and vise versa. I believe that the cruel and immoral depths ONI had to go through to acquire Killing Machines shouldn’t be brushed aside, it doesn’t feel right to think that the newer Spartan 4s are the exact same if not an improvement over Spartan 2s and 3s. (TL-DR) I think the new armor of halo 5 including the art style have become the symbol of the Spartan 4s as the classics have to the Spartan 2s and the Reach armor to the 3s
If people tell you that your opinion is toxic, then that's wrong. If you give constructive criticism about a game that you have played and grown to love, dove into the lore and many stories. Then that means you love it and want it to be better. It's not a toxic thing to do in my opinion. It's goes by the saying, "You critique a game because you love it" even if the criticism is brutal. Great vid Act man and keep up with the great vids👍👍
One of my friends has halo 5, but that's the only one he had played in is life other than halo 4. So one time I got him to play halo 3, and he was like "How do I sprint? How do I aim down the sights? Where are my spartan abilities? How do I pick a loadout?". He didn't even recognize the Halo theme that played when I booted up the game.
He’s saying that 343 have changed the identity of halo to such an extent that people can’t go from the new games to the old games without being confused and unable to recognise a lot of things, such as the main halo theme (not my point at all don’t come at me I’m just explaining)
You don’t think that maybe because like you said he only played Halo 5 and NEVER played the older ones besides Halo 4. You don’t just think maybe he just thought all these things were in the old Halos just cause he never played them before. You seem to be blaming 343 for that when no one should be blamed at all, I mean can you really blame 343 or your friend for that? He’s “never played the older games” so he didn’t know that you couldn’t sprint or do Spartan charge or ground pound and what not
The act man: this is a video on what I liked about halo 5 Me: holy cow I never thought I would ever here those words Nice video btw love your videos I subscribed
It's still the 343i design that the Swords of Sanghelios have in Halo 5. What you're probably refering to is the cutscene in Halo 2 Anniversary that was basically a teaser for Halo 5.
MP in Halo 5 is solid but something about it still gets me bored of it? maybe the lack of old Halo feels... VITAL FEATURES that aren't in the multiplayer like ODDBALL, KOTH, Good RANKING SYSTEM, Good AMOUR CUSTOMISATION, PLAYABLE ELITES & Old Design of the old HALO Weapons... #HALO6InheritTheseFeaturesPlease!
they are hurting financially. where did you hear this? if this is true, then they are so fucking stupid, considering how halo wars two is making both old and new fans so fucking happy. who the fuck employs these people who have absolutely no idea how to halo
Its definitely the lack of gametypes is the biggest killer.I mean if you play BTB its Slayer, Strongholds and CTF all day.Needs assault atleast and 1 sided objectives and asymmetrical maps..
Notal Ael I find it hilarious that I'm using a google account and you're talking about how I don't understand how to get to google. I've really got to find you an instruction manual for removing that stick in your ass, it's pretty deep up there.
Notal Ael I'm "fucking stupid" to not give a shit about things that literally do not affect me whatsoever? Dude. You're so easy to bait, and your arguments are weak. Your only argument for Halo being a bad game now is its sales. And even then, it's not a bad game. It's mediocre, but not bad. You have not used a single argument for the actual game yet, only sales. My friend, I'm going to suggest you watch LateNightGaming again, but I'm afraid you'll stink up his videos with this bad attitude you seem to carry everywhere. Also, I was more asking for the sources for the "343i fanboys that used death threats" to silence the ENTIRE GRASSROOTS FANBASE??? Seems unlikely. 👍👍👍😂 Great job there kid, ya did great.
I honestly absolutely love the Halo 5 multiplayer and all the updates that came with it along with the forge and I actually never really knew what was so bad about any of it. Like with the whole Req pack deal: I never cared about that! I just thought, “hey If someone else wants to buy their way to fun, that’s fine. I will just play the game without buying anything and earn everything without buying my way into it.” You know there’s a really cool feeling when you become better and unlock everything in the game, without buying anything. It makes you feel accomplished. Now why can’t we all just love the Halo games for what they are and stop fighting, cuz I For one love all the games and embrace their uniqueness.
I agree except I hate halo 4. That game was entirely trash imo lol but 5 stepped it’s game up I actually like halo 5’s multiplayer as my 3rd favorite in the entire series! Major improvement for 343 imo
@@knavenformed9436 Actually grinding is far better than just getting everything immediately. When you put ACTUAL effort into something like armor it shows you have actual experience instead of it being you have every single thing in the game
@@rabburtt1841 No it just shows that you made a legendary credit card transaction. When cosmetic items can be purchased, it removes ANY prestige the items may have had. No one gives a fuck if you have the War Master helmet because you probably bought it. Halo 5 had massive customisation options and they fucked it by trying to cash grab every cent possible from fans. Grinding for gear i support. Buying the same gear for $$$ is cancerous for the industry people need to wake up.
Halo 5, I loved the gameplay and mylutplayer. The Campaign felt it could of had potential but just missed all its points. The acting were all good and the graphics were clean. My only complaint of Halo 5 was the story and how many modes there was for multi-player (which was fixed. 343 is the company that listens to the fans. An example where a bad story took away from great gameplay is The Last of Us part II. The only issue with games such as Last of Us part II is theres no multi-player for players to escape the bad story mode like Halo 5.
Something I want to add to warsone is a “Reinforcement” system. Kind of like the thing with the pelicans bringing in vehicles, but they bring in marines with different weapons and speciality (Assault, defense, anti-vehicle, etc.), and they can bring in vehicles with a few marines to man the gunner or passenger. You can always have a teammate get on, and the marines follow you around, and you can command them like you could with Osiris and Blue Team in the campaign. You can assign them to locations to defend, send them to get in a vehicle, attack a location, etc. To me, this sound pretty cool.
Yeah, I think that adding in variants of every weapon is an awesome idea. They shouldn't have locked it behind microtransactions though. But I love having different styles of the same weapon
The forge/custom games were probably my favorite in the series just because of the amount of creativity that can be had with it. One of my favorite map/gametype combos is one where someone recreated Emerald Coast from Sonic and made it a functional footrace map.
I would've changed the campaign quite a bit, mostly telling the story from Chief's perspective (or at least half of the story, not three missions) and probably wouldn't have had Cortana in the game very much at all. I would've made a new villain, and really changed the story. I do like the idea of chief getting chased by Locke though, I would leave that in but Locke would have a different reason to chase him instead. I wouldn't have changed the multiplayer too much, even though it isn't classic halo that I like, I understand that if halo wants to survive, especially in the competitive market, it needs to change. Not completely, but it does need to change. I personally like what 343 did with the multiplayer (for the most part), but the campaign was a pretty big let down.
You give great respect to the fact that this game does have some pluses! As bad as it was, it was still good, and I'm glad you see that too! Act Man! You are a genius son!
Switching seats Sprinting Aiming Forge being better Multiplayer/warzone The newer vehicle versions Lots of weapons Definitely hate no split screen and the whole loot card system though
Truman productions I wouldn’t say forge was better, just really different, and the ADS on all guns is a huge turn off for me. Sprinting made sense, loved warzone, vehicles maps and weapons were cool. Switching seats? God tier.
I absolutely loved the free DLC they gave out. It made the community last _much_ longer than any other Halo game, since everyone could get the new stuff.
the DLC revives the community like doctor shouting clear and shocking the heart to beat a couple more times. And then the novelty wears off and we're back where we started. Halo 5's population is bad, especially in comparison to Halo 2 and 3 and Reach
TheKelley Zoroark. The dlc were nothing but content that should have came out in launch😳 every other halo game had those features so those dlcs were more of a cheap way of saying here buy this unfinished game for $60 and be fooled with all thr micro transaction rng process so we can complete our game by the end of the 9 or 10th month this game has been out for
Halo 5s multiplayer was smooth af and I enjoyed it the most out of all the Halo, including my favorite, Halo 3. The only thing that drew me away from the game was the art design. The game didn't look or feel like Halo at all.
I don’t think that getting random weapons while playing war zone would improve it. I think it would make it worse. It takes the annoying rng from the req packs and makes the game entirely luck based. Let’s say one team gets a Scorpion and the other a wasp. And if your getting stuff for the whole team then it never feels like a reward. The players carrying a team will be out there fighting the enemy, the pelican comes and drops off the weapons and the noobs get them. It wouldn’t be practical. I’m thinking keep the req stations and either keep the req packs (not monetised) or let you buy the REQs you want with req points.
one thing i didnt notice until i saw cortana in this video near the start, but i really like, is how they made cortana look like shes wearing something instead of being naked, its a SUPER small detail but i like it, 2:21 for anyone who hasnt noticed yet and wants to see it for themselves
Halo 5 should have a better custom games. Like you could pre-choose the game map and mode so that it is a quick transition from game to game. Also, you should bundle gamemodes together, so like if I choose on "Survive the Underground" then it will put both the map and mode on.
I have played every single halo game, and Halo 5 is honestly not that bad. Are the prometheans lame af? Yes. But the game as a whole isn't that bad besides having a kinda short campaign. People give it more hate than Halo 4 which is the true failure in the Halo series.
Watching this video today and only getting to Play Halo 5 within this month and the month prior, this game is really fun and I wish I was able to see this game grow.
Well you skipped all the cutscenes. So it’s like you don’t know anything at all. You played the campaign to shoot people and not learn any of the lore. You cut an already short campaign in half LMAO. Who knows, maybe you did yourself a favor cause the story was kinda bad. It was pretty rushed but I liked the idea they had, just executed it poorly.
@Nathanael Rutz pretty stupid opinion considering there mores games than just Destiny 2 and fortnite on PlayStation, also have you even tried the ps5 controller? That thing is amazing
Some of the small details I loved was reloading animations being shown with different points of view, games like COD would have like the same reload animation for all of the weapons (from others pov) but when you reload a SPNKr or aim with a light rifle. You can see the little details from others watching you.
Lol, I love infection! There was a time where I came 2nd with 7 infections and virtually no survival kills, mainly because I got a ton of points killing the last spartan standing. And yeah, constructive criticism is one of the best ways to give feedback although not everyone does it. I do it quite a lot.
@@kimcederlund0391 Im sorry that your so blinded by the campaign that you have to go to every single positive comment about Halo 5 and just attempt to annoy people.
EXCELLENT video. There were good points and improvements, just mixed in with the rest of the game. On the point of H5's forge, I tried to get used to it but couldn't fully do so. I feel like I need a class on how to use it. I'm used to H4's forge, which to me felt much more easy to pick up and start messing around with in terms of manipulating objects and even just moving around as the forge monitor. I did need some help learning the finer points of H4 forge that I hadn't yet discovered, but I feel I was further along in H4 just by my own efforts than I am in H5's. Yes, of course I could just google stuff and watch tutorials, but I don't want to have to do that to learn most of the mode. H5 forge has definitely got the options and yields fantastic results, but the controls were just off-putting to me.
Idk if it just me but I liked the mobility cause it makes you feel like a super soldier in the future while the other games made it feel as if the suit was limited. I dont understand why a super soldier with armor neurologically connected to the user wouldn't run. I could do without spartan charge and ground pound but I feel sprint, dash, and I also feel smart link was a good inclusion. Might be me but yeah
I liked the auto-callouts from teammates in Online. I mostly play games like SWAT and team communication can make or break some matches real quick. I didn't really have friends that played Halo 5 all that much so in most cases, I'd have to squad up with randoms and most of the time, they just didn't communicate. They would sort of just run around and do their own thing. Hell, in some cases, I would even get fussed out by my own team for "talking too much" when simply trying to give enemy callouts. So the fact that the other spartans on my team would say things like "Enemy on the catwalk." "Enemy spotted on blue platform." or "Taking fire from red bend." really helped out. Though I seen a lot of people saying how much they didn't like that feature, for me, it saved my skin more than once and helped me net some victories online.
Being able to switch seats in vehicles without having to get out of them.

HiddenXperia - The home of Halo 5 lore videos! very true I wanted to see this new side to halo with shady oni and the false propaganda.. damn the level of hype I felt for the 'idea' of halo 5 is something I'll never feel again
I would've cared about locke if he learned chief was good and became a sort of rebel that trusted no one in the UNSC by the end of the game and had some more character.
Definitely agree, he could've been this RC-1138-like (Republic Commando protagonist) character whom the 'lower' non-ONI personnel are reluctantly forced to bend and conform to when he turns up. He says little, but what he says essentially trumps all the 'good guy' Marines like "Listen to me, or you're gonna vanish in a week" to show that ONI Spook distaste.
instead we got a boring soulless 343 puppet
you could say it was "iconic"?

Halo 5 has a really good multiplayer, the only thing that was annoying was the removal of split screen and some changes tho such as req packs.
And the loot box progression it had I'm the game that 343 still hasn't removed

So Locke is played by Luke Cage but isn’t voiced by him... that’s weird
Just CJ lol for real, that fucked with my head for a minute
I was like “I swear this is luke cage!” Lol
Makes sense though, the guy that plays Luke doesn’t sound very cool
Nobody like it's at 69
I think Mike Colter was originally supposed to voice Locke, hence why they modelled his face after him, but for some reason, the actor was unavailable when they were about to voice his lines, so they hired Ike Amadi to basically do a Mike Colter impression...which worked so well that no one can really tell the difference.
@@Flufux Mike Colter just wasn't a good voice actor for the role. He was the one who voiced Locke in H2A and you can hear the difference between him and Ike in H5. He's a good actor, just not a good voice actor. You can see some of his motion capture stuff with the other VA's in some Halo 5 behind the scenes videos and he seems pretty amateur compared to the other more seasoned voice actors.

1. Forge
2. Music ("The Trials" for example)

I'm definitely one of those people that called him toxic. I'm sorry Act Man. You are not toxic. You are good for the Halo community. Along with the other Halo youtubers, you are the voice of the community in which 343 needs to listen to to ensure Halo 6 is exactly what the fans want. Good job!
All good, dude! I don't expect people to always agree with me, just at least see my side of things, spark some good discussion! Know that whatever videos I make come from a place of passion

All-things-Nerd Thanks :D keep an open mind, but don't blindly follow what I say. Come to your own conclusions about my videos!
I am so handsome.
most of my issues are with the overall direction. I didn't find the execution on certain things horrible.
^^^
I liked the downtime they had in some of the missions where you can go around and talk to random people, but I wish they elaborated on it more and actually shown what Elite civilians looks like or put in some mini game modes just for achievements or whatever. And I HATED how they had so many invisible walls in the game. Part of the gun in Halo is just exploring and goofing off during missions. They should add more of those moments.
Seriously I was excited to see that there was a female elite talking in the radio, So I thought maybe we’ll see like civilian elites like moms, children, and farmers. Instead we got a group of elites and grunts just hanging out.

I wish Arbiter had some sort of interaction with Chief...
When I first found out the Arbiter was in the game, I freaked out thinking about how they would React™ to seeing each other
John Smith I know! They were SO close to talking to each other at the end!
Bro, not even a damn NOD! Remember that nod at the end of Halo 3? Both of them were just like:
Chief: *Nod (you ok?)
Arbiter: *Nod (Yea bro, I'm good.)
Chief: *Nod (Fuck yeah, let's DO THIS!)
you would've thought that their relationship would be tight after he came back but they went from sworn enemy to closest allies to acquaintances so fast.
i feel as if even he would've made a better villain reveal than cortana.
BrickBuster2552 But am I a writer? No, dumbass. Why should I give a single fuck about what I write?
Heres something awsome:
Back in H2 - HR you could play as an Elite, what if you could play as a Promethean Soldier?
playing as an elite would be dope again, you can have an human vs elite online mission that is even based in lore (since the h4 and h5 online are simulations thus making it realistic that 2 allies would train together).
and yes playing as an promethean soldier would be dope, maybe add in an random powerup on the map that temporarily upgrades you to an knight.
@@solar7427 playing as an A.I / Guardian
Really really really bad idea. It wouldn’t even be halo. Just another crappy sci fi game. Nothing is unique about prometheans
Story wise you’d have no reason to be a promethean because it’s not like the arbiter in H2, multi player, would be interesting but would be hard to implement without making it unbalanced. Since first you’d have to significantly lower health pools on them and second they have some pretty broken abilities that wouldn’t be fit for MP. But that’s if you were a knight. Soilders are just idk, they don’t do anything that stands out really, except scream at you when their armor is broken.
Tim H And what’s not unique about prometheans? Knights can teleport, have a shotgun/rifle arm and a sword that can easily act as a shield as their other arm with pretty unique design. Soilders I can see not being the most unique because they are basically the spartan/elite version of prometheans but the knights are pretty interesting.
Split screen is the reason I play Halo.... Couch co-op shall live on forever!!!!
The one reason you play is because of something that's in everything...
It's coming back in halo 6!!! They already confirmed. They lestin yo us man
Brotherhood4life
Enclave Soldier halo 5 did have split screen...
AstroPhysicsGuy It didn’t.
I got the game as a gift and it was the biggest let down if my life when I noticed it was missing.
I think a reason people regard many halo youtubers a primarily negative is because these days it's just a sad fact that there's more bad then good going on with the franchise.
WafflingMean44 I heavily disagree.
This comment is nothing but pointless. There's no reason to point out that you disagree unless you explain why you disagree.
WafflingMean44 i agree...
besides if you liked the game or not the bugs are terrible...
i honestly didn't care about all the bad decision made by whoever the fuck made and shoved out the game...
but the bugs completely ruined my experience...like please tell me why the fuck it takes 4 min just to load all my reqs in warzone.
to many NEGATIVE bugs make a shitty game regardless of whether who likes it.
Kota The Goon I don't understand. I'm level 120 and I don't have to wait for my Reqs to load. Do you perhaps live in Australia?
And what glitches (plural) do you speak of? From day one of owning Halo 5 to today, the only glitch I've ever experienced is in the Theater fast forward.
DeltaWolf X hold up lemme try to remember...
1)req loading time
2)falling through floor in warzone
3)story glitching out forcing you to load last checkpoint annoying especially on legendary
4)no music starting warzone match
5)AI enemies shooting me without looking at me
6)4 of my forge maps becoming corrupted forcing me to delete them.
7)theater
8)forge constantly crashing
9)2 min load for me to see my spartan trying to customize
10) AI name there but model no where to be found...
11)being stuck outside forge map
12)losing control of character after returning from home
13)objective disappearing in story
14)not giving me helioskrill armor after beating ALL HALOS ON LEGENDARY
15)ALMOST everything in warzone firefight to AI staying still to enemies being able to shoot you from around corners..
and finally, there are many bugs that can be considered as benign but regardless they are left in game
INTERNET ?lololol hardly it wouldn't make sense to affect only certain game modes bud...
its simple
me and my buddies talk about these mishaps on 343s end all the time

One reason I like this video: because unlike very other halo critic, you state what they did right. when all your criticism is negative, you come off as someone that doesn't have the games best interest in mind.
Nana Yaw Uh... have you watched LNG's videos? He states both the things he likes and dislikes very often.
Fleet Admiral agigabyte sorry. Correction: most other halo critics. Didn't think I had to be super literal but ok.
Nana Yaw Sorry. I'm just really literal person.
Nana Yaw so the base word of critisism is critisize. and that means to point out faults. you're talking about praise. the reason most people dont have anything good to say about halo 5 is because it doesn't feel like the halo we grew up with. and it isnt. hopefully it can be again someday.
MeditatedNut 333 remember when Netflix launched? People thought it was terrible. Now it's huge. People think keeping the same old thing is what's best for a franchise but will complain when they release a stale game that hasn't changed for 10 years
The thing that made me mad and is the reason I still have not bought Halo 5 (though I have played and have gotten pretty decent at the game's multiplayer) is the misleading marketing. I was all ready for this hunt the truth premise and Locke trying to track and kill/capture Master Chief. And then all that hype and build up led to a 45 second confrontation where the trade a few punches.
I do think the Multiplayer is fantastic though. I might eventually get it just for that.
Tim Peters did you ever get it?
Two years later but...did you actually expect to be able to capture/kill Master Chief? Lol he’s Master Chief.
@@joshua3630 that's not the point. The point is the actual confrontation was underwhelming and corny

Alexander Robins True, but there is something to be said about 60 fps. It doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it is something.

Speaking of warzone, I feel a complete removal of the req-lootbox system would be possible with, instead of using points to buy req packs, one just buys the things they want, with different variants costing more or less respectively.The respawning vehicles could serve as a kind of 'baseline' thing, with point-purchasable vehicle charges being used to either activate the construction yards for vehicles or calling them in via pelican drop, and charges could be either bought in-game or in the menus. Another thing warzone needed was more than just 9 req levels. It stuns me how some power weapons cost as much as a scorpion.
I agree. By doing what he said in the video, you remove almost all of the individual feeling of reward as it’s for the whole team. It also means noobs who camp at base get to use the cool stuff that the good players earned because they’re closer. By making it so you to buy the reqs you want with points and then req them in like you do now, you keep the reward and remove loot boxes. Also, really like your idea of the baseline things. However, I would go further by making it so each map has a diverse pool of vehicles to choose from that is unique to that map and accentuates the good features of that map (maps can have some of the same vehicles, just most have to different). Also, having various power weapons placed sparsely around the map would also be cool e.g. a sniper rifle that spawns in a vantage point looking at a base so that one team can get it and snipe the enemy base.
7:22 "every couple of minutes, a pelican comes and sends some drop pods, drops off a scorpion or a vehicle..." Well, we finally got it with infinite, 6 years later, we came a long way haha.
I just wanted to comment this lol. Needs some work in Infinite tho to make it static drops and not random.
Um, Ike Amada didn't voice Locke in the H2A cutscene. That was Mike Colter, the actor who Locke's facial and motion capture is based off of. At some point between recording that scene and the making of the "Traitor" trailer, Mike's voice was replaced with Ike's. They do sound pretty damn similar to one another, though.
Yea I know, that's why I said the voice ACTing in that was still pretty good. Don't think I said that was Ike Amadi tho
I see what you did there.
It came off as implied I think.
Yea it was prob implied, my B! I should've ACTed more appropriately :D

The biggest thing I miss in Halo 5 is the old art style... I mean, why the hell is everything so damn glossy and shiny?!
Doctor Alcatraz HAHAHAH
nigga don't you know this aint halo no more
this is mother fuckin power rangers with guns
And there are dozens of pipes that lead nowhere. 343 loves pointless pipes.
***** a very accurate description alright, hah!
Yeah. I miss how hardcore the Spartans & ODST looked in Halo 3 & Reach.
Now Spartans look like Power Rangers or anime characters with power suits.
if it's not halo why is the name halo its title and why are the weapons and characters from halo in this game and the old art style is gone because the covenant switched there army and the Spartans upgraded the armor it's about the story
7:23 Act Man basically just invented Halo Infinite BTB
I was thinking the same thing
Finally you made a postive video about halo 5 because there is some good things about halo 5 that no one talks about and I hope the good things are improved upon in halo 6.
Also the ideas behind the campagin and injection is by far the best part of halo 5.

Josh Lits noone talks about the things that are good about h5 because 343 the dumb ass company that it is will see it as a praise and will only focus on that instead of the real problems in that game. The way i see it if noone adresses the issues h5 had which were a lot and u cannot deny. Then the next halo game will have the same exact issue possibly a lot more and thats when the game will be dropped.

Hello The Act Man! Before I begin, I have to say that I was a part of people who thought you were toxic, feeding a community of fans staying living at the "bungie period". When I discovered your channel, it was with the part 1 of your "Why H5 campaign is so bad?". I did not agree with everything but I found the video well made. But then, I watched an other video, an other video and an other video and finally, the only thing that came out after this was "Halo 5 bashing". This feeling was also reinforced by the fact I did not begin to play to Halo 5 at Day 1 because of my studies so, a lot of bugs you were talking about were already fixed so I did not have the same frustration you had when I played my first Halo 5 game. But then, you see, you needed only one video were you say good stuff about Halo 5, only one, and now I like your argumentation because, even if you continue to say bad things about H5, about the 343i's decisions, I now you can find good points, and not only focus on the bad aspects.
Now to answer to the question you asked in your video, I really enjoy the REQ system. I am a huge fan of Collecting Card games like Magic: The Gathering so I just can't dislike this system. BUT I think it can be improved like, I don't now, keeping this system for the Warzone and Firefight but go back to the old system for the personnalisation. Or, an other alternative would be keeping the REQ system as it is now but adding a new armor category (like, I don't know, "War Trophies") that only can be unlocked with citations and success.
Sorry if I made some english mistakes ^^
A french Halo fan ;)
The best thing about Halo 5 was indeed the gameplay and multiplayer, everything about it felt good, the thing is that it doesnt really feel like a Halo game, it also doesnt feel like a CoD, but its something in between, the game is good, but its isn't a good Halo game.
I like how they are advancing the gameplay with the times like it's faster paced but still unique you can see they are trying
@@val5756 The problem is the Halo trilogy was successful because of a series of thoughtful design decisions - to which 343 promptly shoehorned in kill streaks, kill cams, load outs, sprint etc. I'm not opposed to advancing Halos formula, but it should have been done more gradually with logical design reasons.. not just to blatantly rip from COD.
I really liked the advanced movement and thought it was a fun change but I’m definitely ready for the halo series to go back to how it was before
@@FlyingThruCanyons Halo 5 didn't have kill streaks or loadouts or kill cams Sprint makes sense cuz you're a goddamn soldier and why does sprinting have to be a problem I need to know this damn argument I've been hearing this crap since reach and I've been and I know people who've been here in this crap before Halo 2 because Halo 2 was apparently going to have it but cut because of time
@@knucklessammich3875 yea never understood that argument. I like the faster pace which is why I play more halo reach than the other halo games on mcc. The other games feel slower and ttk is longer(atleast for me cause I kinda suck).

What, if anything, did YOU like about Halo 5? And could that thing have been improved in some form or another to make you like/enjoy it even more? Post your thoughts, comments, and opinions as always ;)
+The Act Man I like what 343 did with the design on the Elites, but that's about it.
The Act Man The multiplayer, especially warzone, forge, custom games, 60 fps, sound design, campaign sucked though
I enjoyed the Sanghelios levels and Audio logs. First appearance of the Homeworld was an awesome time.
The Act Man what did you think about the switching seats feature? I thought it was a little annoying because it made a vehicle like a warthog which took team communication between a driver and gunner obsolete.
Robert McCoy Warthogs etc. still take teamwork... it's not like you can drive and shoot at the same time lol. It's really useful in game types like firefight.
War zone maps, but big team battle slayer instead of actual war zone. That is my dream.
Also imagine a 20 v 20 or 50 v 50 halo match in a war zone map.
As long as we keep warzone
343 did have a reason for cutting splitscreen. I had the opportunity to talk with some employees through a friend. one worked on campaign and the other on multiplayer, particularly warzone. 343 had every intention of including splitscreen, and cut corners graphically to achieve it, but if 343 were to include splitscreen in halo 5, they would need to recreate the physics engine (made to be locked at 60 fps to actually utilize the 60 frames, which with splitscreen would limit the game to 30 fps) as well as severely hinder warzone. Warzone would have no AI, and half the amount of vehicles it currently holds. I'm no 343 fanbo, I have a lot of gripes about sprint and such in halo 5, but there is a reason behind no splitscreen. honestly I've got no idea why 343 has such an issue being transparent in their announcements with things like splitscreen.
I knew it wasnt some corporate shit like everyone says I cant blame em tho cause they never stated why they took it out
Although that sounds really difficult and stuff, it’s there job to please the consumer, why would they have not built up from the fundamentals first to see if things would fit, rather than making an engine not capable of achieving the basics?
I am sorry actman, but... are you me? Because, so far, I have agreed 100% on all of you opinions in your videos
Could be that you and are I long lost brothers

@@TheActMan Twins
I actually grew to appreciate the new spartan armor (now hear me out)
I by all means don’t prefer this armor art style over the originals, however found that it had (from a story standpoint) built an image or reputation for itself for the newer generations of Spartans. It had become a part of my head canon that Spartan 4’s were as fast and more agile as Spartan 2s were strong and disciplined.
That is not to say that a spartan 4 would destroy spartan 2s infact I think quite the opposite, but I like the idea that the newer Spartans are better at some things that perhaps older Spartans are not and vise versa. I believe that the cruel and immoral depths ONI had to go through to acquire Killing Machines shouldn’t be brushed aside, it doesn’t feel right to think that the newer Spartan 4s are the exact same if not an improvement over Spartan 2s and 3s.
(TL-DR) I think the new armor of halo 5 including the art style have become the symbol of the Spartan 4s as the classics have to the Spartan 2s and the Reach armor to the 3s
"Whats up everybody this is the act man here" - literally orgasmic
If people tell you that your opinion is toxic, then that's wrong. If you give constructive criticism about a game that you have played and grown to love, dove into the lore and many stories. Then that means you love it and want it to be better. It's not a toxic thing to do in my opinion. It's goes by the saying, "You critique a game because you love it" even if the criticism is brutal.
Great vid Act man and keep up with the great vids👍👍
Well I get the occasional hateful comment, but who doesn't, right? Glad you enjoyed the video! :D
One of my friends has halo 5, but that's the only one he had played in is life other than halo 4. So one time I got him to play halo 3, and he was like "How do I sprint? How do I aim down the sights? Where are my spartan abilities? How do I pick a loadout?". He didn't even recognize the Halo theme that played when I booted up the game.
And your point?
@@areebmasoodi8932 exactly what I was gonna say
He’s saying that 343 have changed the identity of halo to such an extent that people can’t go from the new games to the old games without being confused and unable to recognise a lot of things, such as the main halo theme (not my point at all don’t come at me I’m just explaining)
Get a new friend
You don’t think that maybe because like you said he only played Halo 5 and NEVER played the older ones besides Halo 4. You don’t just think maybe he just thought all these things were in the old Halos just cause he never played them before. You seem to be blaming 343 for that when no one should be blamed at all, I mean can you really blame 343 or your friend for that? He’s “never played the older games” so he didn’t know that you couldn’t sprint or do Spartan charge or ground pound and what not

I kinda noticed they used the Halo 3 elite designs for the Arbiters faction of the Covenant.
It's still the 343i design that the Swords of Sanghelios have in Halo 5. What you're probably refering to is the cutscene in Halo 2 Anniversary that was basically a teaser for Halo 5.
JustSomeGuy Yeah that I liked that
They're not part of the covenant what do you mean
MP in Halo 5 is solid but something about it still gets me bored of it? maybe the lack of old Halo feels... VITAL FEATURES that aren't in the multiplayer like ODDBALL, KOTH, Good RANKING SYSTEM, Good AMOUR CUSTOMISATION, PLAYABLE ELITES & Old Design of the old HALO Weapons... #HALO6InheritTheseFeaturesPlease!
they are hurting financially. where did you hear this? if this is true, then they are so fucking stupid, considering how halo wars two is making both old and new fans so fucking happy. who the fuck employs these people who have absolutely no idea how to halo
Its definitely the lack of gametypes is the biggest killer.I mean if you play BTB its Slayer, Strongholds and CTF all day.Needs assault atleast and 1 sided objectives and asymmetrical maps..
Notal Ael I'd like to see where you're getting these statistics lmao
Notal Ael I find it hilarious that I'm using a google account and you're talking about how I don't understand how to get to google. I've really got to find you an instruction manual for removing that stick in your ass, it's pretty deep up there.
Notal Ael I'm "fucking stupid" to not give a shit about things that literally do not affect me whatsoever? Dude. You're so easy to bait, and your arguments are weak. Your only argument for Halo being a bad game now is its sales. And even then, it's not a bad game. It's mediocre, but not bad. You have not used a single argument for the actual game yet, only sales. My friend, I'm going to suggest you watch LateNightGaming again, but I'm afraid you'll stink up his videos with this bad attitude you seem to carry everywhere. Also, I was more asking for the sources for the "343i fanboys that used death threats" to silence the ENTIRE GRASSROOTS FANBASE??? Seems unlikely. 👍👍👍😂 Great job there kid, ya did great.
I honestly absolutely love the Halo 5 multiplayer and all the updates that came with it along with the forge and I actually never really knew what was so bad about any of it. Like with the whole Req pack deal: I never cared about that! I just thought, “hey If someone else wants to buy their way to fun, that’s fine. I will just play the game without buying anything and earn everything without buying my way into it.” You know there’s a really cool feeling when you become better and unlock everything in the game, without buying anything. It makes you feel accomplished. Now why can’t we all just love the Halo games for what they are and stop fighting, cuz I For one love all the games and embrace their uniqueness.
I agree except I hate halo 4. That game was entirely trash imo lol but 5 stepped it’s game up I actually like halo 5’s multiplayer as my 3rd favorite in the entire series! Major improvement for 343 imo
You forgot to bring up the fact that you literally cant earn armor in halo 5
>having to grind or pay to have fun
That's just stupid in any way, games should be fun if intended right out of the bag.
@@knavenformed9436 Actually grinding is far better than just getting everything immediately. When you put ACTUAL effort into something like armor it shows you have actual experience instead of it being you have every single thing in the game
@@rabburtt1841 No it just shows that you made a legendary credit card transaction.
When cosmetic items can be purchased, it removes ANY prestige the items may have had. No one gives a fuck if you have the War Master helmet because you probably bought it.
Halo 5 had massive customisation options and they fucked it by trying to cash grab every cent possible from fans.
Grinding for gear i support. Buying the same gear for $$$ is cancerous for the industry people need to wake up.
I really liked the weapons and gunplay in this one, probably even my favorite. If only this game had a better narrative and no squad mechanic.
This video is longer than Master chief screen time in the game
10:12 That T-Bag xD I'm dead lmao
Halo 5, I loved the gameplay and mylutplayer. The Campaign felt it could of had potential but just missed all its points. The acting were all good and the graphics were clean. My only complaint of Halo 5 was the story and how many modes there was for multi-player (which was fixed.
343 is the company that listens to the fans. An example where a bad story took away from great gameplay is The Last of Us part II. The only issue with games such as Last of Us part II is theres no multi-player for players to escape the bad story mode like Halo 5.
He said dominion...I loved dominion
Yeah I liked it in Halo 4
😏
The only good thing halo 4 mp gave us
I'm going to be honest here I didn't expect that you'd like anything in halo 5.
And yet here we are XD
The Act Man you just keep on surprising me :)
Something I want to add to warsone is a “Reinforcement” system.
Kind of like the thing with the pelicans bringing in vehicles, but they bring in marines with different weapons and speciality (Assault, defense, anti-vehicle, etc.), and they can bring in vehicles with a few marines to man the gunner or passenger. You can always have a teammate get on, and the marines follow you around, and you can command them like you could with Osiris and Blue Team in the campaign. You can assign them to locations to defend, send them to get in a vehicle, attack a location, etc. To me, this sound pretty cool.
I would love that
I enjoy the shit out of super fiesta.
Broccoli_Assasin (I know I’m a few years late) Me too it’s so much fun.
@@TheHeroicBlockhead same
Big team super fiesta is awesome!
Yeah, I think that adding in variants of every weapon is an awesome idea. They shouldn't have locked it behind microtransactions though. But I love having different styles of the same weapon
I wish you could play as covenant in multiplayer.
The forge/custom games were probably my favorite in the series just because of the amount of creativity that can be had with it.
One of my favorite map/gametype combos is one where someone recreated Emerald Coast from Sonic and made it a functional footrace map.
I would've changed the campaign quite a bit, mostly telling the story from Chief's perspective (or at least half of the story, not three missions) and probably wouldn't have had Cortana in the game very much at all. I would've made a new villain, and really changed the story. I do like the idea of chief getting chased by Locke though, I would leave that in but Locke would have a different reason to chase him instead. I wouldn't have changed the multiplayer too much, even though it isn't classic halo that I like, I understand that if halo wants to survive, especially in the competitive market, it needs to change. Not completely, but it does need to change. I personally like what 343 did with the multiplayer (for the most part), but the campaign was a pretty big let down.
I've waited for this video for a long time :)
Same. Except almost everyone in this comment section are stil taking about the negatives. Smh.
TʜᴇTʀᴀsʜBɪɴ I'm too scared to look lol.
I hope in halo infinite they keep the weapon pad glitch very fun to try out what guns I should make op
You give great respect to the fact that this game does have some pluses! As bad as it was, it was still good, and I'm glad you see that too! Act Man! You are a genius son!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video :D
that clip at 8:55 brings back funny memories...
That trailer you made tho
MetalHeadSpartan you know it
Rythaze You still play xbox? I can't tell if it's your brother or you
not usually, but I was playing yesterday. On Overwatch.
finally i found someone thinks like me

Why do the subtitles in Halo 5 have to look so terrible?
They there for a purpose not to look pretty
Apollo The other games had no subtitles for the most part.
Switching seats
Sprinting
Aiming
Forge being better
Multiplayer/warzone
The newer vehicle versions
Lots of weapons
Definitely hate no split screen and the whole loot card system though
Truman productions I wouldn’t say forge was better, just really different, and the ADS on all guns is a huge turn off for me. Sprinting made sense, loved warzone, vehicles maps and weapons were cool. Switching seats? God tier.
So pretty much call of duty? Nice
He didnt voice Locke in Halo 2 anniversary
I would like to see a spin-off game that focuses on Locke because the premise of his character is actually really cool.
I think that 5 shouldve been more like a spin off game where you rarely see chief
The multiplayer in halo 5 was the best it’s ever been imo. The multiplayer of halo infinite doesn’t even get close
Right? Im low key salty most TH-camrs are saying infinite is the best one since 3... like srly? Halo 5 was badass
I went back to H5 recently and it's still great, i got bored with Infinite's MP after like a week.
I had soooo much fun in the multiplayer. But I didn't really like the campaign and no split screen
I loved infection, and I still do. Warzone is still one of my personal favorites
I absolutely loved the free DLC they gave out. It made the community last _much_ longer than any other Halo game, since everyone could get the new stuff.
TheKelley Zoroark no Halo game has out lasted Halo 3. Halo 3 had over 100K players 3 years after release
Halo 2 > Halo 3
the DLC revives the community like doctor shouting clear and shocking the heart to beat a couple more times. And then the novelty wears off and we're back where we started. Halo 5's population is bad, especially in comparison to Halo 2 and 3 and Reach
TheKelley Zoroark. The dlc were nothing but content that should have came out in launch😳 every other halo game had those features so those dlcs were more of a cheap way of saying here buy this unfinished game for $60 and be fooled with all thr micro transaction rng process so we can complete our game by the end of the 9 or 10th month this game has been out for
Halo 5s multiplayer was smooth af and I enjoyed it the most out of all the Halo, including my favorite, Halo 3. The only thing that drew me away from the game was the art design. The game didn't look or feel like Halo at all.
You were talking about the 60 FPS and showing comparisons... but the video was encoded in 30 FPS. Oops...
Yeaaap! I dun goofed
That's an anal complaint if ever I've heard one
I don’t think that getting random weapons while playing war zone would improve it. I think it would make it worse. It takes the annoying rng from the req packs and makes the game entirely luck based. Let’s say one team gets a Scorpion and the other a wasp. And if your getting stuff for the whole team then it never feels like a reward. The players carrying a team will be out there fighting the enemy, the pelican comes and drops off the weapons and the noobs get them. It wouldn’t be practical. I’m thinking keep the req stations and either keep the req packs (not monetised) or let you buy the REQs you want with req points.
Same, it would be unfair
one thing i didnt notice until i saw cortana in this video near the start, but i really like, is how they made cortana look like shes wearing something instead of being naked, its a SUPER small detail but i like it, 2:21 for anyone who hasnt noticed yet and wants to see it for themselves
TheDaxter11 maybe if it was to get it teen and not m17
Halo 5 should have a better custom games. Like you could pre-choose the game map and mode so that it is a quick transition from game to game. Also, you should bundle gamemodes together, so like if I choose on "Survive the Underground" then it will put both the map and mode on.
I have played every single halo game, and Halo 5 is honestly not that bad. Are the prometheans lame af? Yes. But the game as a whole isn't that bad besides having a kinda short campaign. People give it more hate than Halo 4 which is the true failure in the Halo series.
Zachary H. Finally someone agrees about halo 4
Zachary H. Bruh halo 4 is better
Scorpion campaign and co op yes. Mp not so much
Master cheif had like 20,000 near deaths like I get it he's a super solider but that doesn't mean he's a god.
So here's my comparison between halo 4 and 5
Halo 4: Good campaign, horrible multiplayer
Halo 5: Atrocious campaign, decent multiplayer
Watching this video today and only getting to Play Halo 5 within this month and the month prior, this game is really fun and I wish I was able to see this game grow.
As someone who played the campaign coop with a friend who skipped all the cutscenes it was pretty fun
Well you skipped all the cutscenes. So it’s like you don’t know anything at all. You played the campaign to shoot people and not learn any of the lore. You cut an already short campaign in half LMAO. Who knows, maybe you did yourself a favor cause the story was kinda bad. It was pretty rushed but I liked the idea they had, just executed it poorly.
Actually in the Locke cutscene from Halo 2 Anniversary was Mike Colter who did the face
That's why he looks like Luke Cage then
The length of this video is exactly how much longer than the length I was expecting this video to be.
somebody put this man in charge of 343
@Nathanael Rutz 1. How is PlayStation garbage?
2. Bungie ain’t the old bungie anymore, Halo would be in a much worst place with current Bungie
@Nathanael Rutz pretty stupid opinion considering there mores games than just Destiny 2 and fortnite on PlayStation, also have you even tried the ps5 controller? That thing is amazing
@@carterrussell5888 he's just a salty fanboy
@@ahmadadam6130 yup seems like it, never got console wars tbh both ps and Xbox are amazing
@Nathanael Rutz yes, a very stupid opinion of ps
Some of the small details I loved was reloading animations being shown with different points of view, games like COD would have like the same reload animation for all of the weapons (from others pov) but when you reload a SPNKr or aim with a light rifle. You can see the little details from others watching you.
I loved Super Fiesta, it was dumb chaotic fun just running around the Arena maps with req weapon variants which you randomly spawn with
Locke is such a DOPE ass character with a amazing voice that's right in with the rest of the cast
I know this was a year ago but lock was so awsome him and cheif are so strong and both can survive by themselves
7:25 yes. Oh my god, it's what I've always wanted
Lol, I love infection! There was a time where I came 2nd with 7 infections and virtually no survival kills, mainly because I got a ton of points killing the last spartan standing.
And yeah, constructive criticism is one of the best ways to give feedback although not everyone does it. I do it quite a lot.
The graphics were really nice for 2015.
no
@@kimcederlund0391 yes
@@dreadlocsamurai4241 no
2015 wasn't 60 years ago you know
@@kimcederlund0391 Im sorry that your so blinded by the campaign that you have to go to every single positive comment about Halo 5 and just attempt to annoy people.
I personally really loved the fast paced gameplay and multiplayer in general. Made me play the game for a bunch of hours
EXCELLENT video. There were good points and improvements, just mixed in with the rest of the game.
On the point of H5's forge, I tried to get used to it but couldn't fully do so. I feel like I need a class on how to use it. I'm used to H4's forge, which to me felt much more easy to pick up and start messing around with in terms of manipulating objects and even just moving around as the forge monitor. I did need some help learning the finer points of H4 forge that I hadn't yet discovered, but I feel I was further along in H4 just by my own efforts than I am in H5's. Yes, of course I could just google stuff and watch tutorials, but I don't want to have to do that to learn most of the mode. H5 forge has definitely got the options and yields fantastic results, but the controls were just off-putting to me.
How can I infinite be improved? Make it more like halo 5.
Idk if it just me but I liked the mobility cause it makes you feel like a super soldier in the future while the other games made it feel as if the suit was limited. I dont understand why a super soldier with armor neurologically connected to the user wouldn't run. I could do without spartan charge and ground pound but I feel sprint, dash, and I also feel smart link was a good inclusion. Might be me but yeah
Also the scoping too. Like is there really a reason why a Spartan wouldn’t be able to scope on all weapons?
I liked the auto-callouts from teammates in Online. I mostly play games like SWAT and team communication can make or break some matches real quick. I didn't really have friends that played Halo 5 all that much so in most cases, I'd have to squad up with randoms and most of the time, they just didn't communicate. They would sort of just run around and do their own thing. Hell, in some cases, I would even get fussed out by my own team for "talking too much" when simply trying to give enemy callouts. So the fact that the other spartans on my team would say things like "Enemy on the catwalk." "Enemy spotted on blue platform." or "Taking fire from red bend." really helped out. Though I seen a lot of people saying how much they didn't like that feature, for me, it saved my skin more than once and helped me net some victories online.
