I'm sorry to be negative but this doesn't feel like Halo. I see Spartans but this doesn't play like it at all, company's desire to be more like Call of Duty and implement similar mechanics bothers me. Don't get me wrong but I do enjoy CoD but I play Halo to get away from the monotony of CoD. The overall fluidity of the game isn't there, Halo is notorious for how smooth the gameplay is. Br/DmR battles do not feel natural, my shot cursor seems to move slower than my body and no matter how high of sensitivity I put my controls at, nothing changes. The BR doesn't feel like a BR either, it's shoots three rounds, but I do not notice it one bit. Boosts and ground/pound make my button layout more annoying than ever. Why can't I throw a grenade with LT, Melee with B, Reload with X, Scope with the thumbstick?! I understand the concept of straying away from the norm and making something different but let's not forget how this game was built and how pivotal it was to first person shooters. I loved the Halo 2 Anniversary addition and felt like that was the type of game I was to expect in Halo 5.
