![]() It was nice seeing Cpt Keyes but what was the purpose of him being there? At least when the Weapon mentions "dust and echoes" that shows that she certainly thinks like Cortana, but her character arc ruins that of Cortana's from Halo 4: they'll pair you with another AI turned out to be true and reinforces that Cortana/Weapon are just pieces of disposable hardware. The fan service seems more predatory than justified: while the forerunner architecture was the best we've ever seen, Cortana's lines from the previous Halo games, especially 3, have no reason for being here other than just to remind the player of those better games. I care more for the story than I do for the gameplay (not that I don't enjoy gameplay), but I just can't enjoy this game due to the boring/non-existent story and mediocre gameplay.Ĭommon good points include: fan service, Chief/Weapon/Pilot dynamic, open world. ![]() Also the idea that the endless are worse than the flood is laughable, does anyone believe there are real in-game reasons for this to be true or is it more likely that 343 are trying to build their game up by tearing Bungie's ones down and the endless will ultimately be disappointing. They want to repair the ring and release the endless, but we don't know why they want either, we just have to imagine which is such poor writing. The Banished are made out to be the new villains of the series, but they just feel like the poor man's covenant (same ranks, same vehicles), but this time with no goals. Boss fights were a nice addition and I enjoyed the Banished bases, but ultimately they feel pointless because of their lack of impact on the story/world. The game just takes away far more than it delivers, and what it delivers is mediocre at best. I have a decent enough understanding of why I dislike it, but looking at video essays on YouTube (Act Man, Hiddenxperia, LazerZ) the general vibe is that it is a great game (a "return to form") whilst listing a huge number of things it does wrong. Recently I thought I should give it another chance and replayed it on Legendary, and found I thoroughly detested it. I've been a fan of Halo since CE and I finished the campaign before Christmas, and was quite disappointed by it.
