The levels are the best but they aren't terrible. They do mix it up enough with all the maps that it doesn't get stale for people who didn't buy the DLC like in Halo 3 or Reach. I had that issue in 4 too.

Warzone is not pay to win. It's about trying to get Halo fans, which I am one of, to work together. Which can be damned hard. If you lose its because your team though we were playing big ol' slayer and didn't kill the right things. Halo 5 isn't COD. If a person has a better gun you don't die in a nanosecond from being shot two feet to the right of your midsection.

The story wasn't what I expected but it's decent. Better than 1 and Reach for sure. 4 is my favorite story so har since it had emotion. I wanted more of that in 5 and maybe a bit less Osiris.

Every one of the Halo games is flawed but just targeting one isn't fair. I think Reach isn't that great because of how much they could have done with the story and ended up making Halo 1 with armor abilities and a COD storyline. Fight, guy dies, cut scene. Refresh.

Hate it or not Halo 5 is damned fun. I feel like I have the best mobility in that game compared to any other FPS. When I die I feel like I could have won if I was paying better attention. It feels fair unlike when I played 3 or Reach. Because it took forty years to turn around.

But to each their own. Just don't lay all this shit out like the game is unplayable. There wasn't much at the start but the gameplay is damned fun and 343 has been supporting it for free more than most studios would dare to do. Also they actually added more weapons when the game had plenty. I never knew I wanted that until they did it.
