Although I’m partial because I’ve played all of the original Halo games, Halo 5 at least in the multiplayer had a lot to do. I appreciate the efforts to upgrade it but the overall is lack luster. One thing I always loved when playing competitively with my team was that we could always go back and see gameplay and how well we were shooting. Well, when exposed to theater in Halo 5 i quickly realized the aiming is not calibrated well. I can’t tell you how many times my sniper bullet said I got a headshot and after reviewing it was I actually so far from a headshot I was embarrassed. Additionally, the use of shoulder charging is exhausting. It’s become so bad people wont even use guns but will just run you down for a double melee or charge-melee combo. You can’t even appreciate a good gun fight, even in ranked. I would suggest finding a team to run with in ranked because it’s pretty saturated now. Also, WHY is there NO Slayer BRs????? Now that really annoyed me. In ranked Slayer?? All we have are these pistols, which aren’t bad, but definitely exhausting. We don’t even get to vote on maps? I find that weird. The active camo??? I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve just laughed because you can’t see them physically or on the map. Yes, you can kinda if they run but this just breeds people wanting to melee more which again is no appreciation for the guns or gun fighting. Last thing, you can’t do split-screen in any mode. I thought at minimum I would be able to split screen on campaign but geez. I would just expect more capability for local but it’s still limited.

I wish the show ended at season 2. It would have been a good place to wrap the story up. I am disappointed that the show progressively got worse as the seasons continued. The decision making was very inconsistent. It's like sometimes the students were behaving with sound judgement, and other times it was probably the worse thing they could have done. The frustrating part is they did this over, and over, and over again it became almost like watching a child's show; Almost like Dora asking where Grandma's house is, when if she just turned around she'd see it. And yes I am considering they are in high school but come on. I wish I was being dramatic but I'll just take Clay's parents for example. They were fully aware of Clay's past, constantly noticed Clay's behavior was getting worse, and virtually did nothing (aka send him back to the therapist he clearly wasn't being helped from). It was very obvious to pick up Clay's erratic behaviors and know when he's lying. I just wanted people to stop acting so oblivious.
