I truly believe that if another developer (maybe Certain Affinity) was able to take a shot at making the next Halo game, and kept it more in line with the roots of Halo but adding some new things that weren't game breaking.. it would be a huge success as compared to Halo 5: Guardians. Not saying that Halo 5G is wothless by any means... I just firmly believe it does not need all these new changes. It feels too different to be called a Halo game. I did have fun playing it at times but overall I was more often frustrated with it. When MCC works well I have the most fun playing it and have trouble getting off.. I never found it hard to stop playing the beta. Just my opinion, what are your thoughts?

Here are my thoughts on what works and doesn't work within Halo 5 Guardians multiplayer Pros: -The sprint/shield link is genius--several times I tried to bail after receiving damage only to be picked off by another player. -The boost is an excellent addition, it feels more powerful than Halo 4's but the limited use of it avoids it being something players would spam. -The balance between the DMR and BR is pretty perfect, I feel just as useful with either one for mid to long range. -the clamber is a great mechanic, the skill jumps are still relevant here with this mechanic and the addition of boost. Cons: -In too many cases, switching in and out of smart scope is too delayed. This is especially an issue with the sniper rifle, almost making it not worth the pick up. -At certain points on each map, I feel the color of the spartans blends in too well. -Truth is almost perfect, but the lighting in certain areas is too distracting. -Truth and Empire need a power weapon in the bottom middle. -The AR and the SMG have too much range, and I also believe the SMG is OP. I find myself going out of the way to pick it up each time and it destroys.. maybe just a range reduce is needed--not sure but something is off. -Ground pound... hmm.. just not needed. Not saying it has to be taken out, but it's just an afterthought. Overall, I'm having a great time playing.. let me know your thoughts and if you agree or disagree.
