Okay its time to face fact. 343 do not care about us. They say they do but in reality they don't. The real priority to 343 Industires are req packs and Microtransactions. They released halo 5 with such a lack of fan favourite modes like grifball, infection, FORGE. Instead they made Warzone the priority. And do you want to know why the focus was so heavy on Warzone? It's because without Warzone no one would buy the req packs. Would you buy req packs if Warzone never released? No Warzone = No one buying req packs = No $$$. After all the great gamemodes that were in Halo 1-4 you would expect halo 5 to continue that trend. Wrong!

Halo 5 currently has all of the following gamemodes :

• Slayer
• CTF
• Swat
• FFA
• Breakout (new)
• Strongholds (new but since territories is absent it doesn't count)
• Warzone (new)
• Warzone assault (new, but since its similar invasion it doesn't count)
• BTB (Neglected and added in 1 month post launch)
• Grifball (added in 4 months post launch)
• Infection (added 7 months post launch)
• Doubles (added 8 months post launch)
• Warzone firefight (added in 8 months post launch)
• Community Action Sack (added in 11 months post launch)

Here is a long list of EVERY single halo gamemode ever released that is not present in halo 5 (*takes a VERY deep breath)

• Oddball
• King of the hill
• Ricochet
• Territories
• Juggernaut
• Race
• Nuetral flag
• Nuetral bomb
• Extraction
• Dominion
• Headhunters
• VIP
• Stockpile
• Invasion
• Regicide
• Multi team
• Classic firefight
• Snipers
• Spartan ops

on Halo 3s file share Race had over 340,000 downloads. So are 340,000 people no longer a priority to 343? Some of you may be asking well what if 343 ran out of time to add in these gamemodes. Here is your answer. Halo 5 had 3 YEARS of development and there is no way that they "ran out of time" to simply copy and paste modes that were made by Bungie and just throw them into your own game. It's been almost a year since halo 5 released and it's still lacking gamemodes that were in all the other previous halos AT LAUNCH. One could say that 343 wanted to be cautious after the biggest video game flop of the 21st Century that some people call 'The Master Chief Collection'. MCC had 5 games squashed into the one disc where as halo 5 is just the one game.

Then you have community tool and features being pushed aside.

• Theatre is a broken mes
• Forge was released 2 months post launch
• The file share was released 11 GOD DAMN months post launch
• Custom games launched with a huge lack of gammodes and options

Then we have more scout warthogs and weapon skins being added into the game instead of these essential gamemodes. We have Splitscreen being pushed aside in favour of a better frame rate and resolution and Playable elites being downright ignored despite countless forum posts begging for this feature.

And dont get get me started on things like making halo another modern fps rip off by adding in sprint and ads, the terrible UI and customisation options being completely dumbed down.

This is direct proof that 343 Industires not caring about the community but instead care about money. 343 really need to prove themselves in halo 6 or they will loose A LOT of fans including myself.

Dude it's pretty obvious that the micro$ are all Microsoft, not 343. Microsoft made 343 change up the best story they were setting up with H4. But can agree with the lack of playlists. However companies are here to make money. Oh yeah and you said you joined Halo a couple of years ago which is around 4-5 and you said you wanted them to remove sprint, ads and Spartan abilities. I don't think it's fair for you to say that when you joined around Reach when they had all those abilities

I seriously don't understand how people still don't get this: 343 Industries is Microsoft, Microsoft is 343 Industries. They are essentially the same entity and that same entity has screwed up far too often.

Bro, Microsoft are the publishers, they are the Management! 343 are the ones making the games! Not hard to understand

ExampleMS are 343i. Every choice. Every major decision. MS makes.

I can't think of any other studio head who is also a vice president of the publishing company that owns both the Dev and franchise the Dev works on.

Well I would go bit further and say that they have terrible management overall.

But answer to your suggestion sadly there are those people that can't see even that, those people would probably buy next CoD: Infinite Warfare if it had Halo on its title. Their logic = It has Pelicans in it, Sprint, Spaceships, its immersive, it has Miranda Keys lookalike, UNSA=UNSC, makes me feel like super soldier.
