Gameplay-wise it's one of the better ones, I kid you not.
Story-wise probably the worst in the series.

Yes.gethtones wrote:Campaign was good overall but not for a halo game.
-Story is a disjointed mess
-Locke(nuff said)
-Campaign levels are too linear compared to halo 1-3's open levels
-cliche "Al's taking over the world" trope. I wish more Sci Fi franchises that have AI would have the balls to NOT go that route.
-They are being too heavy handed with the whole "chief finding his humanity", & "dark & brooding" thing. Cortana should have stayed dead, let chief have his moment in H4 where we are hurting along with the chief and then MOVE ON. Going forward, those moments where we and the chief get reminded of cortana should be sprinkled in for effect rather than milking it.
-Blue team is criminally under developed. We finally get a game with blue team and they get almost no explanation for new players much less actual development, and the vast majority of the game is spent playing as a team of mostly new characters. What were they thinking?
Thats because DOOM had a good sweet and simple story.TarriestAlloy24 wrote:I found the story in DOOM(2016) more interesting than the one in Halo 5.
Make of that as you will.
Lol. At your description of how DOOM would've been like if it followed Halo 5s approach to storytelling and false advertising.Codes 208 wrote:Thats because DOOM had a good sweet and simple story.TarriestAlloy24 wrote:I found the story in DOOM(2016) more interesting than the one in Halo 5.

Now if they did #Fightlikehell in the same manner as 343i did #huntthetruth...we'd be talking about how a cult has been secretly plotting to use the UAC to ascend their religion and bring hell to mars and only doom guy can stop them.
But you spend 75% of the game playing as Samuel Hayden watching Doom Guy's progress from his secured room. And there'd be ADS.
And the game would play more like the admittedly crappy MP.
Yeah the new doom was great. As for the bolded, he's actually a cyborg, not a robot. He still has a human brain with next to no modifications. He's just more passive as the CEO of AUC.Ubernoobslayer2 wrote:Lol.

DOOMS story was the best because of its simplicity. It didn't try to be like H5 by trying to have needless drama and plot twists to try and be edgy. And the Campaign was nonlinear unlike H5G. Its EVERYTHING I thought Halo 5 was going to be, in regards to gameplay. I also like that the devs had the guts to not do the whole AI trope. But the opposite really. With Hayden and VEGA ultimately helping you towards the same goal. Though you could argue Hayden was sort of a villain, but he didn't necessarily want to hurt the Doomslayer. And he's held back by the laws of robotics to not bring harm to humans. (Although... You just don't mess with the Doomslayer...)
I also liked how parts of DOOMs story was told through the environment like the old Halos. Halo 5 was a linear mess in terms of gameplay. :/
So far, my $150 purchase of the DOOM CE is worth waaaaaaay more than I payed for H5 at $60...
Right, I forgot about that. Like you said though, he's passive. Due to his moral compass. I'd still like to think he'd abide to just basic laws as he still sentient. But hey? At least he's not trying to get vega and all the other AI to enslave humanity. Am I right or what? /sCodes 208 wrote:Yeah the new doom was great.

Yeah, I agree with you. Not every idea was bad, it was just handled poorly.SPARTAN J567 wrote:The story was good in concept but it was the execution of the idea that 343 failed with, there was many parts of the story that I liked but unfortunately for me there was a lot more stuff I disliked.
