Weekly Story missions?

Hey, that sounds like a great idea. It reminds me a bit of the SO mode from halo 4. but with the req system in halo 5, you got more possibilities. awesome. hope, 343 is looking to that post ^^

The Halo 5 campaign is dead, just let it go. If you aren't playing PvP, 343i doesn't really care about you.

I think people tend to overreact to the campaign... I looked at it a lot like Empire Strikes Back. It ends on a horrible note with the main enemy (non-spoiler) now in almost complete control of the galaxy, and our heroes at a loss as to how to stop it. Could have been better (I think they should have killed off a major character along the way for dramatic effect, a la 3 or Reach), but otherwise pretty solid overall. Agree to disagree.

I do however agree with your latter statement... the campaign gives you, what, a couple of nights to play through for all the story / writing effort involved? More if you go for all of the collectibles, but even then... I did one solo Legendary run and had everything done within a week. If that's all that H5 had to offer, nobody would pay $60 for that game (maybe hardcore fans of the lore, but that's it). 343 cares FAR MORE about PVP players as that is how they can keep profiting off of the game, keep player's vested in their franchise, etc. A thousand times more re-playable than campaign, and a major grind for any competitive players.

The closest i could see to them doing this is adding challenges like in reach. Daily ones and weekly ones, and they have little objectives for doing things in multiplayer or campaign or even customs.

I agree. The problem is that in order to do proper story content updates, you HAVE to put in the time and effort to create a unique experience... I'm a huge proponent of them adding, say, a prequel three-missions from Reach starring Blue Team and showing how they came together (since that was a major gripe from H5). But weekly story content updates? Gives you Spartan Ops. Not bad, but certainly not good either, and most people just didn't care enough to keep playing them. There's no point in them wasting their time on that. Give the fans something to talk about, not complain about on the forums (which is what the latter would become). Challenges though... daily and weekly... that'd be sweet!

I think it's been confirmed that no story DLC will be produced, which I think is a shame. The reason I guess is that Spartan Ops wasn't popular, but what else does one expect when you recycle areas from the campaign multiple times, introduce new areas and then just recycle those?

Isn't recycling good for the environment? Or something like that.
