I'd argue that it's among the worst things that 343 did... (Destiny)

You can argue that's exactly what they wanted. I'm not saying it was right or wrong, since I don't own or play Halo 5, but tastes and trends do evolve over time. Especially given that MCC ostensibly preserves the classic experience, it would be kind of foolish to keep everything the same. New game, new feel. Halo 2 sure didn't feel like Halo in multiplayer. It is an okay to evolve the game feel, just as it is also okay for players to prefer something else. The mere fact that there is change is not nessesarily a point to criticize. Not being a player I have no idea if the changes work within the framework of the game or not, but the response has been mostly positive anecdotally.

IMO, Halo 5 has different strengths and weaknesses than previous Halo titles, but it is a rock-solid PvP game in its own right. It plays very well.
