Here’s the link. This isn’t necessarily news, per se, but good food for thought nonetheless.
And on a leisure where you take your time, the campaign could maybe last up to 20 hours or more.
If it is true, then this is great information. Though, we all know the hectic of trying to do LASOs and getting achievements and unlocks. I just hope that this is well split between more chapters than the previous games. I’d rather not have to do a 2 hour long chapter for an unlock, or play a 15 hour long campaign multiple times for unlocks. Lets just hope its covered correctly.

FK YES. Also, FK NO. Wanted to have some spare time in launch day for some Multiplayer after completing Campaign…
Then again, this is only assuming I have to go to school that day… ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

This. I always play through campaigns at a leisurely pace and make sure I take in all the artwork and explore all environments thoroughly. I’ve been waiting for this game for a few years…why would I speed run my way through it?
It’s no different than when I shake my head at a friend who finishes his Prime Porterhouse steak in 5 minutes…good lord spend some time and enjoy it…
Not a good source. They are simply repeating what they “heard” from mainstream gaming sites. The article states that the 15 hours figure is them quantifying the now widely-known “roughly twice as long” claim. No one from 343 had come out and stated 15 hours.

Still, I think it’s safe to assume we’re getting a long campaign for Halo 5. After all, it’s the first Halo made for the One, 343 has much more to work with on this new system.
Let us all hope that this is true.
heres a source for the twice as long thing
this does put the game at 14-16 Hours long [average run through was 7-8 hours] I imagine itll take me much longer given i go through slowly, take in the sites, explore everything and revert to save every time an AI ally/marine dies so i can make sure they ALL make it to the end. [so im looking at a 20+ hour playthrough]
IT mentions the scale of each map is also MUCH larger than twice which is good.
If this is true, it will be the longest campaign of the entire franchise! Not even Halo 2 had such a long campaign, my hype increases even more!
I hope its that long, as there are 8 characters (and more) who need to be properly developed and handled properly.

I agree, but Josh Holmes did confirm that the campaign was not only twice as big, but also twice as long. On a good day, I’m expecting 20 hours on legendary since Halo 4 took me approximately 10.

The crazy thing is that it was reported to be even longer than it currently is, and a lot had to be cut. It makes me sad to think that we could have been getting a 20-25 hour (or more) campaign prior to cutting for budgetary/story telling reasons.
Halo 5 is shaping up to be the best Halo yet.
I sure hope so.
That’s exciting, let’s just hope it’s not all padding and holdout missions.
I’m expecting a fair bit of reused levels though with Locke following Chief, please people, temper your expectations, the game will be more fun then.
This is excellent news!
If that’s the case then I think I might have to do about half of the campaign on easy or normal then take a multiplayer break… fifteen hours… holy crap.

They explained in the Game Informer interview that though Fireteam Osiris would be following Blue Team and going to the same locales, the player would most definitely not be retreading the same paths over. Meaning, nothing is getting recycled or reused. They were very careful to make that point.
