I just finished Halo 5 campaign. I have to say, it was by far and away the least interesting campaign in the 5 numbered Halo games. I was very disappointed. It felt extremely disconnected and unfinished to me.
Keep in mind, I’ve read every Halo book and played all the games; I’m a lore nut. I’m very open minded and not one of the ‘Master Chief only’ people at all. I loved ODST and Reach Characters. I love the Halo Universe. With that being said…
I can’t connect with Locke, at all. Was very unimpressed with Nightfall on the Halo channel. He feels overly generic and didn’t have a niche. Seriously, one of the least fun main characters I’ve played with in a video game. I simply didn’t have a lot fun playing him in Halo 5.
What do you all think? Like Halo 5 story? Like Locke as a new potential co-main character?
Sorry to have a negative post (I can’t stand these types of posts on Waypoint ion general)… But I had to mention it b/c I feel real strong that this game was a bad direction for Halo. I’ve loved Halo 1-4 so much. This one just feels… Off. It feels so generic like it’s going big but majorly lacking focus.
The gameplay took some getting used to, but I think MM could have some nice times once BTB is in the mix. This game is a solid overall package and I still look forward to Halo 6. I just have my doubts for the first time (I loved Halo 4 from day one, and had zero doubts coming into Halo 5 despite the hate for Halo 4). This game simply didn’t feel good to me.
I hope I’m in the minority on this ):
