IMO, one of the greatest contributions 343 has made to Halo is in the campaign gameplay.
The Bungie games are great and have aged very well. However, repeating the same gameplay mechanics for the 343 sequels would have felt stale. Building on the gameplay mechanics is where 343 has shined brightest.
Halo 4 gave us sprint, new enemies. and Forerunner weapons. Halo 5 gave us boosters, teammates to coordinate, and some of the best-paced firefights in recent memory.
This is what makes me most excited for tomorrow!
While I’m cautiously optimistic about the plot narrative, I can’t wait to plunge into Zeta Halo to enjoy the frenetic and highly charged gameplay that 343 has consistently delivered.
