Why is Halo 5's Campaign So BAD!? (Part 1) Marketing, Expanded Lore, & Intro Cinematics - YouTube
Seriously, Halo 5 was one big -Yoink- of;
The Writers: “Chief, forget all the development you got in Halo 4”
Chief: “Cortana’s alive despite the last games ending”
The Writers: “Hey Chief, remember those characters that were your team in the books, here they are!”
The average Halo fan: “So wait… how are they here?”
The rabid Halo loretard: “-Yoink- U! RED TEHE BOOKS -Yoink!-!!”
Chief: “A chance to introduce them to the average fan?”
The Writers: “Actually, the interesting stuff is getting sidelined so we can just write a more easy story about characters chasing you chasing Cortana and not have to actually face any writing responsabilities we as writers should face for giving you your old friends back out of nowhere.”
Locke: “I was supposed to be a rival to Chief but I’m just a character with a face and no character”
Buck: "Even though my story was finished in ODST, I was shoehorned in to replace Thorne from Spartan Ops who had much more potential as a character in the new trilogy.
Vale: “I’m a UNSC war machine who shouts Sanghelli dialect in combat like a deranged lunatic follower of The Great Journey and hasn’t had a psychiatric evaluation”
Tanaka: (I don’t even know)
The rabid Halo loretard: “-Yoink- U! RED TEHE COMICS -Yoink!-!!”
Warden Eternal: “I serve as a potentially cool villain but just fill the role of a barrier to be passed and a carbon copy of the Didact in a role the wouldn’t make any sense for the Didact to be in”
Cortana: “I’m not dead and all that crap I gave 343 Guilty Spark about being a genocidal machine is still justified despite the fact I already suffered the effects of Forerunner technology and was nothing like this and I’m now AI -Yoink!-”
The Writers: To Be Continued in Halo 6 and god knows how many more books and comics but we’re still milking this for all you morons will pay for, now about that well balanced multiplayer that doesn’t copy other franchise gimmicks and lack of microtransactions for in-game content.
