What's so bad about Halo 5's single player? I play halo solely for SP these days.
The story is the main issue with Halo 5's single player. The way the game was marketed got a lot of people excited, but they ended up dropping a lot of those themes. The gameplay also transitioned to a fireteam set up, which I'm not a fan of. You always have three friendly Spartans tagging along with you. It's cool that the Spartans in the books made it into the games finally, but a lot of the great moments in the Halo series came from feeling like you were playing as the last Spartan. Oh yeah, and Master Chief is only playable in three missions. Big fuck up there.
They dropped the themes from the marketing campaign, they dropped the themes from Halo 4... I'm not really sure how we got the game that we got.
Yeah that too. I thought they were setting up something really nice at the end of Spartan Ops in Halo 4. Then they did nothing with that. 343 is aware at least because people were pretty vocal about how they fucked up the story. So there's some hope for Halo 6 maybe. ---
Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping>
