I see a lot of people stating that Halo 5’s level design and gameplay, campaign-wise, is very enjoyable. While I do enjoy a few of the levels, the level design seems at best to be too simple for the mechanics, and the limited number of Spartan Abilities becomes stale after a little while. (I personally enjoyed Armor Abilities and the variety they offered.)
I’ve seen many people say that the level design is overall too linear. I think this is probably true in a way. Most every level in previous titles was linear in a way (excluding, most notably, Mombasa Streets) but the developers added enough slightly different paths, twists and turns, and backtracking to give you the illusion that x level didn’t appear to be linear.
Another issue I have is that the fast-paced gameplay and the desire to get where I’m going as quickly as possible overrides my desire to examine the environment and actually pay attention to my surroundings. Previous Halo titles had campaigns that were either slower paced or just larger overall, or had more interesting levels. Every now and then I like to stop and look at the detail that the developers put into a level, but Halo 5’s campaign does not cater to this very well, at least in my opinion.
There’s something about Halo 5’s campaign level design and gameplay that lacks the appeal of most every previous Halo title’s campaign, at least to me. What about it stands out as enjoyable, or unenjoyable, to you?
i find that the Sanghelios levels are absolutely amazing. all the other levels are just kinda meh, i also thoroughly enjoy playing with friends it’s a lot more fun that way.

I’ve noticed this too, but I don’t have anyone to play campaign co-op with consistently.

same here, i very rarely play with friends. in fact with most halos i get all the solo achievements but almost none of the co-op ones because i have no friends…
All the missions with Sanghelios were awesome. Running down the guardian was pretty cool along with seeing and exploring the forerunner planet genesis. I feel the levels were just awesome. They really needed to incorporate the campaign level design in their multiplayer level design but sadly they didn’t. The missions may have been linear but every Halo has been. Yes even ODST. Yeah we could explore a very block like city but when it came to the actual mission when you found that key piece you played a linear mission.
Apparently a lot of people found the Sanghelios levels to be among the most, or the most enjoyable aspect of the campaign. In my opinion, they were bland and kinda boring. And somehow, they didn’t even get the color of the sky right.
Jul mada dying in the first mission in a custscene was pretty good!
I also liked only having 3 levels as the master chief… he is so over rated anyway!
And the good AI, really made the game enjoyable when your team mates stand around and dont revive you lol!
Also, also…!
I loved fighting a copy and paste warden eternal bossfight like 10 times! :)))))) (diversity sucks lol!)
Oh another thing i liked was the campaign was so short! Long campaigns that are over like 5 hours get sooo boring anyway
also that they brought cortana back i absoloutley LOVED that!!
The shock value of bring her back and destroying 14 years of character development was so enjoyable!!
Retconning the entire halo 4 story made me pretty happy too! Like nobody even cared about chiefs grief and character development over the loss of cortana haha
Another thing i enjoyed is how the story was so different from the marketing, like who even cares about hunt the truth right???
But seriously
Halo 5 sucks, worst single player halo experience
Worst story There are no redeeming features to this campaign
Biggest disapointment
Destroyed the halo universe for me
smh
Briefly: the weapon and vehicle sandbox in the game, the character and enemy design, the characters themselves, the music, the locations (a glassed colony AND Sanghelios?!). It has it’s flaws, like any other Halo, but I enjoy it plenty. Personally, it’s somewhere behind Halo: CE and Reach, ahead of H2 and H3, in the area H4 occupies.

I mean the visuals are nice.
It’s sad that this is a Halo game were are talking about. Please, please, please do not mess up the story in Halo 6, 343 Industries.
