What difficulty are you playing as?

I too am mainly interested in campaign. I’m disappointed in some of your points and hope by the end of Tuesday that I can disagree with you

I do agree with the recycled boss battles. I am, however, enjoying the game. PM incoming OP.

Heroic

In what sense is it an incoherent story? In terms of its relationship with previous Halos or, even, worse, with itself?

Heroic has basically been normal difficulty for every halo games with normal being easy and easy being childish. I would try it on legendary. Ive seen the story someone was streaming it before he got banned and I honestly didn’t think it was that bad.
I expect many different opinions once the game releases. Some will say its good other wont

That’s my plan now, to replay on legendary. The new mandatory 4 player style does reduce the difficulty significantly overall (on heroic at least).

From my first playthrough I’d say that I had more of a clue about the story in halo 2 then I do about halo 5’s story. There are significant similarities in their structure, but halo 2 was more more satisfying

I’ll check back on here later in case others have questions. Don’t let my negative impressions alter yours, I’d be interested in having a discussion with others who have finished the game when it comes out on Tuesday.

As for your volume issue I urge you to turn down the game sounds. Also did you look for any data pads? Some of them could add to the story.

Also I expect it to be confusing for a lot of people who haven’t read the books. Like the didact being compused (which happened in a book) chief regrouping with blue team. Halsey’s and juls adventures and such

I respect what you are saying, but the games sounds should be balanced to account for this automatically. For example, the volume of game sounds could reduce during dialogue. The data pads don’t feature anything important from those I’ve found. They just flesh out the universe. You have to stand next to them while they play to hear them, they don’t play in your headset if you walk away. The books are barely referenced, and even if that were the case, I’d argue that the game should be self-sufficient within the narrower narrative developed within the mainline halo games.

Some people like it some don’t. The issues you raised may not be issues for others. Nothing has changed for me but I’m sure 343I appreciate the feedback
