Long as possible without to lower the quality.
Then how long?

I agree, no specific length. But as long as they can make it while still putting considerable amount of thought into individual missions and not start to repeat themselves. But it’s really that as long as it’s still fun, it should be as long as possible.
He just said. As long as possible while retaining quality. That would depend on a lot of things. I would like more than 10 hours but if it becomes repetitive and boring then it’s better to have it shorter.

This is a diffecult task I think for developers.
But if this isn’t reachable I prefer a too short campaign which is good over a too long and boring one…
But longer with all good aspects is of course better.
Skyrim-length, anyone?
As long as it takes to tell the story.
I think 343i should take a look at Halo 2. That game managed to have the longest campaign, which also allowed for far more depth in terms of story.
If I’m not mistaken that game has 12-15 levels? So about 10-12 hours would be good. After all, with Skulls and Legendary settings you can make a Halo campaign last as long as you wish. But a major Halo game should definatly take longer to beat that H3 and Reach did for instance.
Twelve hours and higher. They’ve plenty of planet for Chief to blow things up 
Long enough. Not too long. Not too short. Trying to put numbers on it is a fools errand.
It felt Halo: Reach and Halo 3 were too short. I want it bigger, more dialouge, etc. Gears of War 3’s campaign was nice and long, and had a lot of dialouge. I like Acts and Chapters. That is what 343 should do.
At a minimum 10 hours. Really though I’d like it to last a LOT longer than that. Something on the order of Batman Arkham City or Borderlands long.
As long as I would replay it a gizzilion times then the time I spent on the first go wouldn’t really matter if we have extreme quality over quantity but the campaign is likely to be 5-12 hours long maybe ?

The problem with an extremely long campaign is that it gets repetitive and the story can dull down from my experience with long games but I haven’t played them all so there might be a vibrant and different long campaign out there

If 343 are as super talented as people say, then they can make it happen. Like nothing Borderlands length, that’s like thirty or more hours long. Also Look at Crysis, that had a long campaign and it definitely had quality. And Skyrim 300 and more hours of gameplay and that also had quality. I’m sure a quality 12 or more hour campaign is plausible. Ten seems to be the minimum for Halo anyway. Except for the Library in Halo CE and Cortana in Halo 3 nothing else in the Halo saga has stricken me as repetitive so I’ve faith.
P.S. Halo 2 didn’t have any repetitive levels that blatantly stood out and it was the one with the longest campaign. Go figure o.0
the campagin should be 1000 hours
If it’s as long as Halo 2’s that would be good. But the important thing is replay value and the little extras like terminals and easter eggs. The story will also dictate the quality of the time you spend, after all I would prefer a sorter rich campaign than a long boring one.
should be at the very least 12 hours. We haven’t gotten a good campaign in a while, let alone a good story.
