In Response To: Are you preordering Halo 5? (Moorpheusl9)

Some of the things I've seen have been good and the Beta was sort of fun, but it was too heavily focused on the Lockout/Midship/Arena gameplay and not enough traditional Slayer. We also never got to try any Covenant weapons or ANY vehicles.

War Zone looks interesting, but I feel like it'll be similar to Invasion in that it'll be popular at launch but matchmaking times will grow as players lose interest and trying to cram 24-people into a single match when MCC can barely handle 4-v-4 makes me doubtful of it's future.

REQ packs and the whole concept of an in-game "buy your DMR" stuff similar to Halo 4 has left a sour taste in my mouth and the possibility of less armor customization is really off-putting.

We've also seen next to nothing for Forge, Customs, or Theater.

Those are the three biggest modes for me and until I see something concrete or uniquely interesting about any of them, I am not preordering. Not to mention the whole Preordering-in-general bullshit and unpolished game releases because of it.

I'll pick up Halo 5 Day One, but I am not preordering any games unless I am overwhelmingly convinced to do so and only Fallout 4 has even had a glimmer of hope in that regard... :\
