Halo 5: Guardians

Does Anandtech have a Spartan Company I can join?

Wow... They just added some additional multi-REQ packages you can buy now. Seems like you can spend some big money for a 30-Gold REQ packs package for > $99.00; there are various lower cost packages for less REQ packs as well. Half the fun in playing multi-player is opening REQ packs for all the various emblems, armor, bonuses and weapon upgrades.

I just made level 90 last night. I'm having a blast on multi-player. Pisses me off to no end though; I still suck, but getting better...oh so slowly.

Yeah, I need people to play this, and other games, with. I've gotten all of these games lately (Halo, ZAT, Destiny, Forza, Battlefront), and none of my typical friends either got the same games, or they're on vacation and didn't take their consoles.

Finding this game super frustrating - out of the dozen slayer games I played over the holiday, 1-3 team mates left in the first couple minutes in 8 of them. In one game we were loosing badly (was something like 10-3) but the others were basically tied. In a couple we were actually up.

The reverse occurred in a couple of the wins on the other team, making the win pretty lopsided.

Is Halo always like this or is it just kids these days? This was while I was cycling between Diamond 3-6.

 

[Lil Frier]

Yeah, it's pretty funny because all these idiot fanboys said that this new system would stop quitting, and that it was a good thing to not replace quitting teammates in games. It's just as bad as ever, matchmaking is still unbelievably bad, and it's embarrassing that people defend it.

Not liking the claustrophobic maps for team slayer, kind of a deal breaker for me. I miss the old Halo maps, they were do inventive. Warzone is fun, but kind of repetitive.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I might go back to CoD. Ugh.

Warzone's horribly messy, and Arena's horribly crowded. It's like they didn't realize that increasing map size vertically isn't the same as doing it horizontally. The increased elevation does so little to give you space in matches, so someone's always on top of you. There are a few that aren't too bad (like the removed Orion map), but then you have Fathom (the worst FPS map I can recall playing in my life, especially for Halo), where you're constantly getting jumped.

Warzone's got four canned maps of the same thing, and it's just not fun after long. If enemies were dynamic, bases actually mattered (Legendary Bosses decide basically everything), and the non-Legendary bosses weren't so easy, it would be different. Instead, it's impossible to make a heavy impact in such a large mode, everything is random luck on whose 73rd bullet gets the Legendary kill, and you never get a sense of accomplishment.

But no, my disappointments in Halomaps cant' drive me to the awful life that is BO3. It's just such a bad, illogical game. I can't do CoD anymore when it's just gobs of Aim Assist ans inconsistent physics. Drives me insane.
