Say what you want about the plot but the campaign is very fun to play. The Sangheilios levels were unbelievable, genesis had some awesome sections and a really cool environment. Kamchata’s environment was really cool with the battle torn snowy mountains. Although it was quick it was very epic, with the covenant and forerunners battling it out, and started the campaign off great. The meridian levels were also very fun even though Prometheians generally aren’t that great to fight these levels still pulled it off. The last two levels were a bit meh but overall this campaign was very well made and fun to play.
Agreed, I haven’t finished 4 or reach cause I got bored but it might be the second best halo campaign (at worst)

It is certainly the best (gameplay wise) outside of the original trilogy
I am about half way through Mission 15 on my second solo run (1st time normal difficulty, second time Legendary.)
I agree with you, including the last 2 missions being the weakest of the lot. The final Mission on both play throughs has been a real grind I didn’t find it very engaging (probably because all it is are lots more of the same enemies over and over. By Mission 15 I’m over it.)
Overall I think it’s got more negative feedback than it should get.
Its one of the worst.
> Short
> Too much Locke (343 pls)
> Bad story
> False advetising
But it has Nathan Fillion and the mag boot guardian run was great, so gg
Gameplay was up there! Story wise it sucked…

Although I do agree, 3 out of your 4 points don’t apply to want I was trying to say. I was simply pointing out that from a gameplay standpoint only, the halo 5 campaign is solid and enjoyable.
I think it is one of the best as well. Nicckh, if you were to judge the campaign without taking into account the false advertising you see would you like it more? I also didn’t think it was that short, it is just a long if not longer than an uncharted or last of us, and no one says they’re too short. Unless you sprint all the way through it, its not too short for a shooter campaign, longer than Destiny haha, and I say that enjoying Destiny as well - wishing there was more story - but enjoying it.

Could have sworn 343 said that the campaign would be four times longer than H4. Don’t quote me on that though.
My expectations wouldn’t have been as high but I still would be disappointed. Really wish they just stuck with chief, take the Jul 'Mdama scene for example. They tried to make Locke look like a badass but instead just made Jul look like an idiot, his character is just dull. The story really put me off. I miss the time when it was just blasting aliens brains out while on a clock to save the galaxy, a bit cliche but its fun and the backstory behind everything was great. Now the story is just convoluted and dull. And Cortana’s return was just stupid considering they sent her out emotionally in the previous game. I could ramble on, but I can’t really be bothered.
(I’ve typed this before)
HALO 4:
Story>Gameplay
HALO 5:
Gameplay>Story
Although HALO 5 has a confusing story that I don’t think any lore person can understand, the missions sure do have the replay value in them! If only 343 could get Joseph Staten to work on the story for their next games, then it would be Story=Gameplay In a good way.

Nathan Fillion. 
That man is beauty.
I think it’s the worst of the campaigns. The game play isn’t terrible but the story was an uninspired designed by committee hack job, Locke was dull as dishwater and took up the vast majority of the game and the vehicle sections were the worst of any Halo game.
There were a few decent ideas in there but I’m actually kind of blown away by how underwhelming this campaign was. This is the only Halo campaign that I’ve only played once. No way was this campaign as long as they said it would be.
The last few levels were infuriatingly bad, you have to plow through so many waves of enemies on that part where Cortana is taunting the members of Osiris.
The rest of the game was pretty average in gameplay outside a few specific moments. Could be better, could be a lot worse.
