Halo 4’s story was simply incredible, and not just the in game story (which is incredible, emotional, deep), It was the comeback of Halo. AAA blockbuster after AAA blockbuster with Bungie. New developer, can they do it? They did it, they nailed it. I don’t know what it is about Halo 5, but the whole package is just mediocre for me. I absolutely loved how Halo 4’s gameplay was just good ole Master Chief and Cortana back again, trying to save humanity. I think 343 got too cute with 5 campaign. We don’t need 8 playable characters, fire teams, we don’t need/want the villain to be Cortana simply because they’re trying to get a reaction out of people. we don’t need clever marketing campaigns to try and fool us, we don’t need big space battles in the background so the mission we’re actually playing is watered down to meh, we just want to play Halo. Honestly, I’d be happy if Halo 6 was a throwback to just Chief on a mission to save Cortana with some help from the Arbiter. Give me a deep story, with cool missions (VEHICULAR COMBAT PLEASE) that looks really good (I loved H4’s art design in campaign). Do whatever you want with the multiplayer, I love it but I don’t care about that anywhere near as much as I care about the story. I do believe in 343, Halo 4’s story showed me what they can do.
You’re going to get nailed for this… But I do agree with you overall.
Definitely agree that Halo 4’s story was incredible!
I can agree with you from a campaign perspective. I thought this was going to be about gameplay and I was about to come in here tempted to say some things that would get my monitor status revoked.
I kid, I kid. But I might not be…
Yeah, I kid.
I saw the title and I wondered where you were going with this.
I proceeded to read and it made a lot more sense.
H4’s campaign was better than H5’s

Been carrying this torch for H4 for a long time so I’m pretty used to it.
I never understood the love H4’s story is getting…
- the art-design is not what I want to see in a Halo game, it’s just too shiny, flashy and “modern Sci-fi’y” - the didact fails to scare/anger me, he is just the regular bad guy seeking revange, IMO a rampant Cortana is much more interesting! (and thats coming from someone who does not like a lot of stuff about 343’s vision for Halo) - If you think H4 was emotional you better not play the Gears games, you probably need to see a psychotherapist to work on your PTSD after Gears 3 - have I mentioned the art-design that does not fit Halos once so great art style - Prometheans are boring as -Yoink-I agree that we should be getting much more playtime as MC though, hell, scrap Locke and everyone but Buck (getting Nathan Fillion on board again is one of the best things 343 has done!)
Edit: I forgot to mention all that stupid space magic stuff…
