Having emotions is not a weakness. In fact, I thought it was a welcome change for our stoic silent protagonist to show some humanity. The books show some, but the main series had always lacked that until Halo 4... and they wasted all that set-up in Guardians.True, the AI is -Yoinking!- stupid.DW Fame wrote:Mhhhm since Halo 4 for me the feeling changed. I cant explain it right but the impression was better on 1 to 3, since 4 they made the Chief softer, which makes him weaker, which makes me frustratet.
Also do i get mad about the reverse going AI Skills, in Halo 3 you could jump on the Warthog and they would drive you around and that not so bad at all. Now they cant even drive for themself, always messing up.
The Team is useless as -Yoink- when no command is given, why do i need a Team when i have to fight alone?
The marketing made the Campaing seem like there would be a big battle between Locke and the Master Chief, but what nothing, just a short movie about the 2 fighting and even worse Locke did put up a good fight against the Chief, are u serious? THE MASTER CHIEF WHOS A FRIGGN COMBAT GOD, who survived a drop of a enemy flag ship, get his visor broken by a mere duplicate with a weaker armor?
And with that to the biggest thing thats messed up, you play most of the Campain Locke, who the hell is Locke, give im some missions like the Arbiter, not almost the whole campaign...
For last, i couldnt follow the story at all, always this skipping parts no flow at all, where are the videoscenes between the missions to give the story the right push.
Instead of putting up your hollywoodscenes with flashy explosions everywhere and the herolike feeling as if you were watching the avengers, conentrate on being HALO
I thought the gameplay was awesome, I just wished the ending was a little less open ended but nonetheless hopefully this will just mean for an even better campaign for Halo 6, but yea overall great campaign.bartleby892760 wrote:Now, I don’t mean to dismiss the people who dislike it.

Everywhere I look, I see people complaining about the Halo 5 campaign.
“The levels aren't long enough!"-There are more than enough levels, despite how short the first couple were, and the other levels were long enough to be insanely fun. I really enjoyed the first two missions anyways.
“I hate 343i!” If you hate 343, then I don't know what to tell you. We’re stuck with them, because Bungie abandoned us. However, they haven’t done much bad. Despite all the dislike towards it, Halo 4 was a solid game.
"The story was shallow”-I’m sorry, what? It’s about Locke hunting down Chief, and Cortana being alive, and had an amazing story. It really explored the halo universe in a way no other game has.
“The campaign was too short”-There were a ton of levels, and the only campaign I enjoyed more was Halo 3 #ArbyFTW
What's your opinion, guys? Please tell me what you think, but please be polite to everyone, and please DO NOT TROLL!

That's the problem. 343 made it. They're very inexperienced to take on a game like Halo full head-on. They need practice before moving onto a game with a pre-set amount of expectations, almost all of which they failed to meet twice.

Because they're dissatisfied with it. The customer is always right. And in this case it's a lot of customers.

There aren't "more than enough levels." Especially when you consider: Only 3 missions are dedicated to the series' main character: John 117 Master Chief, 3 of the 15 missions are non-combat missions (unacceptable, this is an FPS not an RPG), and most of the missions don't give you any story to them. They all just lead to the next mission but don't actually give you any context to the actual Halo story because it's all just one big lead into the next game. (Not what games are for.)
“I hate 343i!” If you hate 343, then I don't know what to tell you. We’re stuck with them, because Bungie abandoned us. However, they haven’t done much bad. Despite all the dislike towards it, Halo 4 was a solid game.
First of all if someone dislikes a developer then I know what to tell them. It makes their criticism valid because it means that a fan of Halo isn't satisfied with this excuse of a game that 343 has so hastily concocted. We're not stuck with them because Bungie "abandoned us." We're stuck with them because they picked up a dead series that was already over. (Yes Halo 3 was meant to be the last of the main series even Bungie said it back in '08) And Bungie didn't abandon us; they just realized Microsoft was completely screwing them over like they do with every studio. Why do you think the makers of Fable are also getting the boot? (Yes Lionhead is being shut down too.) Halo 4 was most certainly not a solid game and this is shown in the number of sales, number of people playing multiplayer, and the negative feedback it received which lead to massive reform and discarding of most of its aspects, also most of which were disliked. They have also done a lot of bad, they know there is a bar for Halo expectations and they toyed with it and manipulated it and now it is no longer meeting anywhere near the old Halos' bar and standards. The numbers say it all.
"The story was shallow”-I’m sorry, what? It’s about Locke hunting down Chief, and Cortana being alive, and had an amazing story. It really explored the halo universe in a way no other game has.
The story isn't about Locke hunting Chief and if you think that then you didn't play the campaign. They had an "epic" chase and "awesome" non-interactive stale fight for all of 5 seconds. It lasted a total of 3-4 missions if you count the non-playable. Most of the game was Locke chasing down Chief to save him, not hunt him. They completely lied to us and misguided is with the teasers, the Hunt The Truth series, and practically all the things they told us and marketed prior to the games' release. Cortana being alive? This character has no real development, nor do any of the others. Cortana is a cheesy villain who has no real incentives. She just wants to do bad. I wonder how many other villains do that. Cortana's personality doesn't match anything like it does in Halo 5. She doesn't have any connections with the personality or actions or predictability of the old character. It didn't "explore" the Halo universe. It was a game that you cannot understand at all unless you read the books and watch the movies and are actively crazy about lore. An average gamer cannot understand the campaign at all. In Halo 1-3, Reach, ODST, and Wars you need no knowledge of outside lore to see the story and understand it. Yes the lore helps a lot to deeply understand it but it isn't a necessity. This is simply not the case with Halo 5. That is absolutely unacceptable.
“The campaign was too short”-There were a ton of levels, and the only campaign I enjoyed more was Halo 3 #ArbyFTW
"Tons of levels." Not gonna say much. Refer to my other answer. 3 weren't even missions for FPS purposes and only 3 utilized the series' main character. And the campaign can be beaten in 4 hours if you play on legendary. It's been done numerous times and recorded. That's pain-stakingly short.
What's your opinion, guys? Please tell me what you think, but please be polite to everyone, and please DO NOT TROLL!
Go ahead. Read my opinion and tell me I'm wrong with all your fanboy blindness clouding your judgement. Do it.
