I loved Halo 4’s story. Short but personal, emotional, poetic. My fav story out of all. The human/ai relationship with the didact interchanging made for my fav Halo story in a game. Despite H4 being the worst halo multiplayer game there’s a reason halo 4 is sitting at 87 on meta.
I’ve always played Halo for the story not the multplayer. I know the lore.
Halo 5 pissed me off. I’m so disappointed in 343. All of this building up, tension, question marks, beautiful hunt the truths and we get this? WHY ARE YOU FORCING THAT BLAND CHARACTER LOCKE ON US ? WHERE’S MY BLUE TEAM ? This game would be the perfect 10 Halo game had they not messed up the story.
Halo 4 ended beautifully. Then they decided to create a new character. Ok why not have him serve as a background character build him up use him as a piece in the story. Itll be about Chiefs personal journey with team Osiris as the secondary team being used as a prop nothing more. Definately not the MAIN -Yoink- FOCUS.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME 343 ?
STOP FORCING LOCKE ON US. HE IS AND NEVER WILL BE A REPLACEMENT FOR CHIEF.
WE FINALLY GET BLUE TEAM. A DREAM COME TRUE AND THIS IS HOW YOU TREAT US ? THANK YOU FOR CRUSHING MY SOUL.
I’m sorry. This is my most anticipated game ever and I’m a huge Halo lore fan and the lack of a good story and blue team pissed me off.
I always supported 343. I bought everything Halo related just to support them because with Halo 4’s story they showed to me how much they cared about the lore unlike Bungie and that won my heart. But with 5 they crushed my soul so hard. It’s really hard to explain how I feel. It’s probably like how Star Wars fans felt after the 2nd 3-peat. When you love something so much and it doesn’t turn out bad and in the wrong direction you feel depressed. To most it’s just a game but for me it’s more than that.
I feel like backstabbed, deceived by 343. I absolutely did not feel a single thing with Osiris and especially Locke. The only one I loved is Buck. The least one was by far Locke.
This is a continuation of Halo 4 and Master Chiefs PERSONAL STORY. How are you going to force Osiris on us for almost the entire game and almost put team blue as a side character that barely gets any screen time. To Halo lore fans team blue is like the ultimate Halo nerds wet dream. So much likeable characters, so much backstory, so much potential. Instead you go with the team as your main focus no one feels anything for ?
I really felt when 343 created Locke that it’d be a secondary character, a plot device, a guy working for Oni to hunt Chief in the background for story purposes on CHIEFS PERSONAL STORY. Not the other way around. How could they have approved such a travesty ? I would’ve expected this from Bungie but not 343. That’s why it hurts so much more especially after all the build up with hunt the truth etc.
I’ll always love Halo and i’m not one to hate on anyone but 343 literally crushed my Halo soul.

TOTALLY AGREE!!! this is not HALO 5!!! this is a SPIN OFF!!! chief is a CAMEO in this game! and what about the story!!! really!!! i loved halo 4 , but this? 343 your ruined forever the story of Halo
Halo 4 was a good story that could be enjoyed by long time fans and newcomers thanks to the Master Chief and Cortana dynamic. The story never made me feel alienated from the lore because the characters are so likeable and Master Chief relationship with Cortana was so moving. Simply put, Halo 4’s campaign was actually telling a story with a good beginning, an exciting middle, and a beautiful ending.
Halo 5’s story failed because it was barely a story at all. Barely any of the emotion and character development that we got from Halo 4. It all feels half–Yoinked!-, like it was all just a sequel bait rather than an attempt to tell a good story. The cliffhanger was badly done too. Halo 4’s ending is a good example of an ending that knew how to end a story on a satisfying note while leaving just enough questions to want a sequel.
