So today i got to play the Halo 5 beta, thanks to a few friends here and there i managed to get it to download faster without problems. All i have to say is: IT FEELS AMAZING! -personally i loved the faster approach to the MP, the Spartan feels more fluid than bulky and the weapons are really balanced (Still worried on how the supreme scope from hell called DMR is gonna be handled tho, it even looks ugly as hell but that's just the aesthetic) The Maps are fun, regret and Stadium (is that how it's called?) Are my favs, they have this small area yet different idea on how to approach the enemy. I don't like Eden tho, kinda stupid to have open windows where the sniper weapon drop is at the start and have some random shoot you from his/her spawn area on the other side. The Spartan Abilities are smart as hell, i love the ground pound (yes people start hating), is fun to use and relies on well positioning and not random jumping, the dash ability is very useful for escapes and dogding bullets and thankfully is not a giant multi-dimensional roll like in halo reach. The slide ability is useful too and the shoulder barge is kinda meh (i have a gripe with the melee in this game). I do have a major issue with the game and [b]DISCLAIMER:[/b] Before any of you start throwing tantrums on me about hating, please bear in mind i did enjoyed halo 5 and am looking foward to it, not as much as other games tho since the community has become a bitter version of themselves ( i miss the good ol days of inviting randoms to enjoy custom games and only a small minority were the one being a dick). -now, my issue may be a small unbalanced thing called the plasma grenade. Since H2 i used the plasma grenade as my go-to "martyr" strategy, it was my last resort everytime i clashed with one, i remember the times when in any halo(even 4) i stucked a player without and they kill me without knowing that i got ahead of them easily. Hell this strategy transitioned to Derptiny with the sticky grenade they have over there and it works the same ( hell even in cod with the semtex i got my kills from the grave) I personally loved the grenade, i used it as hell and im suprised not many people i play against use it for the same purpose. All was good until i tested the Halo 5 plasma.......WHAT THE -blam!- HAPPENED TO IT! -Now i talk a lot srry, the halo 5 plasma feels like some sort of Fat wallet that won't let you walk normal, it feels heavy and unreliable all the time i can't tell how many times i failed sticking the shallow thing to someone very close and still fail, i tried shifting the sensitivity of the game and i even tried yoga and nothing changed the way this grenade works. It definitely doesn't feel like the past Halo plasmas, and it barely does damage! I have been using the normal grenade too much because it is heavily damaging (it literally means you're -blam!-ed if you get caught in atleast one blast from afar) the feel of destroying anyone with such a powerful grenade destroys the idea of even using the plasma. I admit I'm still testing the waters of the beta but i can see why the plasma is not used very much as before. If i have a complaint well this is it. Tl;dr I loved the Halo 5 beta but i have an issue with the unbalanced grenades, i am not hating on halo at all i just have a small issue with this subject. Don't put words on my mouth.
