Why does everyone hate the campaign so much?

That's just for starters......

To be fair, Jul'mdama in Halo 4 was nothing more than an opportunist who found an opening, took it and ran with it, so yes in Halo 4 he was the leader of the new covenant force, he didn't have any real background other than what books added.

It Halo 4 Cortana split herself into hundreds of copies right before your eyes, and not every single one of her copies attacked the Diadact. So as she was scouring the forerunner planet's network it is not impossible that one of those copies found its way back to the domain and got cured while, the remaining Cortana copies that protected John died. She also did not say she wanted to kill all life but create peace, and with the mind of Doctor Halsey, sometimes the drastic may seem like a great sacrifice that has to be made for the greater good. She wanted to Enforce peace upon all life in the galaxy, hoping that the Guardians would be able to detour people from fighting no matter which race we are speaking of and her obvious note that if they refused peace then they would break them down and remake them as one of the created shows evidence that she believes that those "composed" aren't actually dead.

There was plenty of hints to each of Osiris team members background within their own chatter, you just have to pay attention and not be going full sprint through each mission as it's in the travel time and slower points where you get that chatter.

It was the marketing. The PR team basically made up their own story and hyped it to unreachable levels.

I mean the campaign probably is the worst halo campaign but its not bad when compared to other FPS games. Good even, nice expansive levels, beautiful surroundings, plenty of vehicle sections and a nice amount of secret areas. But the PR invented this epic quest hunting down MC, piecing together the truth culminating in an epic showdown of epicness. Instead we got a slight squabble followed by instant random BFF moment.

Opinions are opinions and it's fine to state yours. I'm a veteran Halo player and I will agree with you. Halo 5 is by far my favorite Halo game to date, no question. Don't feel bad either, don't feel like you are the one in a million that likes Halo 5. In fact, there have been polls on these forms that have proved that the silent majority actually prefers Halo 5 and the new direction it's taking the franchise.

I know all about Osiris team and it still doesn't make them interesting or justify them getting 75 percent of the playable missions in halo 5

MCC does no represent Bungie it, caters to 343i!

You have played the 343i's version of halo, these versions are dumbed down versions of halo with added new gen graphics and the name Anniversary. Multiplayer in MCC is a complete alien compared to the original early halo games, jump height and game speed has been compromised to fit 343i's needs (sprint). If you haven't lived through the dinosaur era, you will never know what it is like; MCC is just an altered simulation.

I have played the original halo1 and 2 when they were out, these games were epic. The anniversary editions used upgraded graphics but altered the cut scenes a bit. Mcc is sort of like remaking the Jaws movie but not using the original director; the Jaws movie (halo) is now in HD but the Flow of the movie is directed to upset fans of the original movie. So now in Halo 5 we find out Jaws is really actually a robot; disapointing original fans while new fans are perfectly fine with the sad story in halo 5's campaign.
