I saw this video and was really surprised on how well put together and thought out it was! I usually only see negativity towards Halo 5 and it’s campaign so it was refreshing to see a well put together video defending Halo 5 and it’s campaign, pointing out it’s positives. I don’t know how to give it an official link, but here is the video!
In Defence Of Halo 5’s Campaign: - YouTube
From the standpoint of gameplay, I didn’t much care for the enforced team play, and none of the new motion mechanics find any favor with me. From the standpoint of level design and aesthetics, this Halo stands head and shoulders above its predecessors, and that’s not easy to do. The video did a solid job of pointing this out. From the standpoint of story, Halo 5 is a Rorschach test. Everybody sees what they want to see. Opinions on the campaign tell me a lot more about the person expounding the opinion than they do about the campaign itself. Overall I think it was a big step forward for Halo and I’m glad other people are willing to stand up and say so.
The campaign is determent by the gameplay and story.
I can talk a lot about gameplay, but I don’t like it…It doesn’t feel like Halo, Legendary is insanely hard and unfair, I don’t like the overall art style of the game and so on.
The story has a lot of cool ideas, but it doesn’t really execute them well…And the thing about storytelling is interpretation. People interpretate the story in different ways. To me the story was really bad and I didn’t like it at all…It cannot even compare to the previous Halo games…I even thought that Halo 4’s story was good, although missing a bit of consistency and a lot of lore involved in it.
I think that The Act Man did a very good review of Halo 5’s campaign and I completely agree with him.
Yes, the video is thought out well, but Halo 5 has more negatives than positives and the majority of the community doesn’t like it…
