I'm very frustrated with having no split screen capabilities. While I'm 29 years old and most of my gamer friends are all busy with having families and can't come over and hang out for hours like back in the olden days, split screen is a nice feature to be able to have if and when you need it. What made Halo so awesome to begin with is this ability, that you could hang out with your buddies and play for hours and have awesome parties and epic matches. Now you can talk to them through a headset, whoopty doo. I wanted Halo 5 to be an awesome game and was all for spending the dough to go out and buy a new xbox one, as I still have an xbox 360, but 343 industries hasn't exactly had a great track record in my opinion and now I have absolutely zero faith in them. First off, Halo 4 was a flop, they even admitted it themselves that they could've done way better and that it failed. Second, the Master Chief Collection, another flop. Some games you'd have to wait 20 minutes to get a match or get kicked out while in the middle of a game. Third, Halo Nightfall, so cheesy and the graphics so horrible that I wanted to stop watching but just had to keep going to see how horrible it truly was. I was going to buy an xbox one, if Halo 5 got decent reviews but now with these shennanigans as well as no backwards compatability? Yeah I think I'll pass as Halo is about the only game that I play, but who know's maybe Destiny will be a runner up. In my opinion 343 industries has made a mockery of a once epic franchise. It's frustrating because I'm a huge Halo fan and have bought every Halo game up until this point but 343 industries you just lost a long time customer. Thank you 343 for ruining that for us all. Lastly, I could really care less about the frame rate of the Halo 5 or any other Halo game. To me, the graphics in Halo 4 were good enough to where the people in them, take Dr. Halsey for example, looked almost like a real life character in a movie. Frame rate does nothing for me, it's about the game and the story and being able to play with friends. I'd much rather play an older game, Halo CE or Halo2, with not as good of graphics but a good storyline any day over playing Halo 4 with a subpar storyline and great graphics and better frame rate. To me there is no comparison. And the old school graphics make it seem like you're playing the old games when they first came out, hence the reason I haven't bought the anniversary editions.
Sincerely,
Very disappointed Halo fan.
I think 343 has done a terrible job with the franchise and made a complete mockery of it. Halo 4 = Terrible, Halo MCC = Still doesn't run at 100%, and lastly Halo Nightfall = God awful with a horrible storyline and even worse graphics/special effects.
