A fun and satisfying FPS that I can kick back with on a weekend with friends and play for hours without getting bored.
I honestly feel Halo 5's focus on Ranked playlists and complete disregard for custom games and Forge at launch was one of the biggest mistakes 343i's made regarding the entire series. And that includes any of the expanded universe fuck-ups they've made (and those are
plentiful).
As it stands, Halo 5 is one of the best Halo games ever made. But it wasn't that way at launch, and there's so much lost potential. The game could've been huge, but instead it came and went for a lot of people.
I've got close friends who were hyped as hell for Halo 5, and wound up putting it down within a month because Warzone didn't do it for them, Ranked Arena was too stressful and competitive (and with a skill divide between us, we couldn't play together or we'd derank), and Warzone was either too random or had too many pubstomping teams.
BTB was the last straw for a lot of friends that stuck around past the initial launch woes. And the focus on battle rifle starts (on maps made by community members for magnum starts) left a sour taste in the mouths of dedicated players like myself.
In the end, I adore Halo 5. I unlocked every REQ and played the game for hours. But while the missed potential was recouped post-launch, that doesn't mean the people who left disappointed suddenly came back.
