Nothing serious, but the maps are repetitive and bad while all the thrusters and ground pounds kinda mess up the Halo formula. Still a solid 8-9 on its own, just not the perfection most expected.

Few modes, few maps, low variaties, no Forge and a big aim issue for pro players that hold the competitive scenario.
It is fun yet... more fun than Destiny today... less fun than Destiny vanilla (yeap TTK made Crucible less fun).

It's not "broken," it was a design choice.

Looks similar to Uncharted 3 aim (not the issue but the situation) and at the end they created a option to use the accurate aim.
I can see i343 giving a option to the design aim they choose.
It is bad... up/down moves faster than right/left... diagonals get totally inaccurate due that... how we are supposed to move up slower than left when doing diagonals movements lol

that's a pretty big difference. i'm not competitive in any shooter but i can see how that would mess someone up.

Not broken, per se, but flawed.

Yeah, competitive Halo players are not liking Halo 5's aiming. Hopefully, 343i releases a patch to either fix the aiming or give players the ability to tweak it themselves.

Im pretty sure they will since they did fix a lot in Halo 5's multiplayer beta.

The beta was fine, but their internal pro team prefered slow diagonal movement so it was added for release.
