Halo 5: Guardians

Has anybody tested the campaign changes yet? I did a google search and couldn't find any impressions at all.
 
I played the SP a few weeks ago to my shock I really enjoyed it. Not bad at all story was a bit lost on me as Halo 4 sucked to me so I did not pay much mind to the story. So story and game play were much better in this one then 4.

The new Arena map is a brilliant one. Subtle changes with the update but the carnage report front and center after a match is nice.

I've been playing through it again recently, have to say that I think Warden Eternal misses quite a bit more than he used to with his laser beam. That black hole thing tracks a little slower too so you have more time to get behind something.

I'm loving warzone firefight. I never tried it but it is a nice change for people like me who are terrible at Halo.

I'm loving Firefight as well, it's the most fun I've had with the game. If you're more of a campaign / PvE type player, you definitely need to check it out. So much fun. Great way to get rec packs too.
 
Firefight is definitely better than straight Warzone....but it still has frustrating moments.
 
Its fine but doesn't compare to regular Firefight. Everything is just so bullet spongey
 
I think that's because the beta was too easy. Even the grunts are harder to kill. I think that's a good thing. I like that it's challenging.

I don't think challenging means you have to have bullet sponge enemies. There are fun rounds but much of it resorts to everyone parking their tanks and hoping for the best.
 
Coming back to this game after about 6 months away I realize this is the best MP game available. Arena is so good, and with the added firefight it's perfect when you just want to sit back and relax.

If you had a problem with the lack of content at launch or the lack of variety in maps you really should fire this game back up again. They have really added some nice stuff.
 
I want to know what the hell is so big on this update?

Definitely. The difficulty is still all over the place. You shouldn't get kill Banshee Raiders or 25 Ghosts or Warden Eternal on the second wave, almost impossible with req lvl 2 loadouts. Not to mention defend xxxxx objective that is on the other side of the map and the enemies are already beating the sh!t outta it.

Still hella fun though.
 
They still need to tone down the difficulty. It's absurd. Especially Urban on round 5 with 3 eternal wardens spawning in base where you can't enter without vehicles because there are a gazillion knights patrolling one shotting your scorpion.

The 30 seconds respawn timer is also ABSURD. In a round that's 5 minutes long it's stupidity. Enemies can 1 shot kill you from any place.
Then you have to rush to the place which is also another 30 seconds. You spend more time rushing from A to B then playing.

Kinda wish they removed the timer and just made it about survival. And more rounds. Like Reach FF.

Still fun yeah. But it could be so much more fun.
 
I've been playing the campaign for the first time(got the game from the sale last week).

I just got to the mission where chief goes to the planet where Cortana is.

Have to say, I am not really enjoying this story at all. It's really boring. I wish the writing was more like the writing from the Hunt for the Truth audio series. That was good s***. I couldn't wait until the next episode was released.
