Is it just me or does it seem like half the campaign is missing? I’m not saying it’s bad (I actually thoroughly enjoyed campaign) it just feels like there are alot of missions simply missing. I seem to remember hearing that alot of Locke’s missions would be him essentially retracing chiefs steps, we can see this happening in the mission unconfirmed. I feel like after that mission there should be a mission where you play as chief maybe one of those explorations, non shooting type missions as it is mentioned that the promethians let Blue team through. I find it odd that there are only three exploration missions and even odder still thaat there are only about three chief missions. I can’t help but feel that this content was cut. I’m not blaming 343 or trying to incite a war in the comments, I understand maybe 343 didn’t have the development time to fully implemement all of Blue teams missions. I feel they should be added in a patch though. The story does stand up as is but it definitely feels that something is missing especially considering 343 said Halo 5’s campaign would be twice the legnths of Halo 4s which had I think 10 levels…Halo 5 has 15…10x2 does not equal 15 it equals 20. This leads me to believe a good chunk of campaign was cut.

i think they meant in terms of time to complete, not number of missions.
imo the campaign delivered in that aspect and was much much longer than 4’s, it took me 19 hours to finish it legendary solo. Halo 4 took me about 10 hours.
Also, i think the reason you feel half the campaign is missing is because… this is a trilogy and the campaign is fleshed out over 3 games… there is still another game in the trilogy to come to finish the story…
i honestly feel the story was great and a nice set up for the finale in Halo 6
It’s actually a Saga. So more than 3 games.

edit: my mistake.
Either way my point still stands, Halo 5’s campaign is great and sets up for the next instalment, not everything will be explained in 1 game
I was a little upset that this campaign wasn’t as long as they said. I was expecting more missions, especially as Blue Team. One of my only complaints with this game.
I’m with you OP, between the misleading advertising and extremely lackluster campaign I can’t help but feel like something happened like halfway through development, kinda like what happened with Destiny at Bungie. While obviously not as extreme, the story definitely felt very hallow and half-baked. And they should definitely add on more because right now Halo 5 has possibly the worst campaign in terms of story in the entire franchise, not as bad as some other games like COD Ghosts or anything but certainly not up to Halo quality standards.
Halo 4 actually has 8 campaign Missions. Halo 5 has 15 missions. 2 x 8 = 16. So…
3 of those campaign “missions” aren’t really missions.
The plot seems to be really random as well as it seems to render all the recent lore such as Huntthetruth irrelevant.
Also there is literally no conflict between locke and chief, chief never goes bad, and is only awol for a day.
Not to mention Cortana seems like she was put in as a didact replacement as she literally acts like him 90% when she isn’t getting emotional over chief.
Also in the loading screens where they showcase concept art, have you seen the one with the giant person/alien thing with what looks like sword hands standing over some land? It’s really cool but definitely not in game. I was wondering if they were thinking of something with this character.

That artwork only depicts a Sengheili statue.
