Okay, if this game ends like Halo 2 I think I'm gonna be pretty upset. Notice in the trailer how it says "Experience the BEGINNING of the greatest hunt in gaming history"? Or am I just interpreting that wrong?
It's obviously going to span multiple games.
The Locke chasing Chief arc will be finished by Halo 5's ending though. I can guarantee you this, because it's pretty obvious.
Eh, I just don't want a huge cliffhanger. 343 says this game will change the galaxy in HUGE ways. I can see it now, whatever the threat is that Chief is trying to stop, Locke will realize this at the end of Halo 5. They'll team up. The end.
A cliff-hanger is unavoidable.
Glad you mentioned that. Linear games such as Halo 5 are always short. It's not until you get to big RPGs where it's really long, when in actuality, the game may not be that long story wise, but all the time you spend wandering around and doing things, adds up.

I hope one day, a studio gives us a fairly lengthy linear game. Imagine if Halo 5 was 30-40 hours? Now, making a game like that would be hard, and they'd have to be really careful with the story, not to pad it out and throw in filler. But I'd be willing to try it.

40 hour Halo = No cliffhanger :P
Nobody would want to play 40 hours of the same linear game .

A cliff-hanger in Halo 5 is unavoidable, unless they decide to downsize the plot and story and rush it in an 8 hour game.
Took me 18 hours to beat TLOU. If the story is good, the locations are fun and enjoyable, and gameplay is full of variety, why not?
Because it's difficult to write a 40 hour story.
Players will lose interest.

What the hell were you doing in TLoU for it to take almost 20 hours?

Well I did do the hardest difficulty. But I'm not sure. I explored everything. I hear average time is 14-16 hours anyways. I've beat it in 10 myself.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

Presumably trolling. He switched to 343 bashing when he discovered more people were open to their developing of Halo late last year.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.

"Sir, finishing this hunt."

I neither fear, nor despise.
I've already been over why it's canonically sound, and why/how Spartans are literally superheroes.
I'm aware it's Canon.

But I still can't get over that running animation
