Winy does not remember that Geas and genetic imprints are a thing in Halo.

The libarian's ability to influence future events through genetic manipulation is to the degree that with help from one of her own AIs she was able to get two humans to a specific island on earth to sing a specific tune that would allow for the Didact's crypum to open.

I just want to finally meet Menidcant Bias who wants to atone for his sins. Makes sense that he would help in taking down another AI mad with power, right? Also, lets actually meet some living Forerunners, please. I know it would take away from the mysticism but come on. Flood needs to come back in the next game. What are we supposed to do, fight only Prometheans? Let me guess, yet another "Covenant" splinter group? The next game is a chance for 343i to re-introduce the Flood/Precursors. How about Sentinels and Enforcers again too? Halo 2 is still the best Halo campaign in my eyes. I'm already feeling like the Prometheans have overstayed their welcome.

Halo 5 was an opportunity for them to do that, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I know...this was supposed to be the darkest Halo yet, or so they said. I feel like I was given half a campaign, and nothing really happened. Halo 4 was brilliant, but 5's story is just so disjointed. I don't like the whole AI revolution, it doesn't feel very Halo to me.

I don't buy it. The Librarian specific said that her "Eventuality" would lead to Cortana, specifically. On top of that, even if you dumb down the specifications that the Librarian planted, it's still completely ridiculous. She plans out the super-solider program 100,000 years before it happens? All that modification, all that training, and leading to what? Her gene song, or whatever the hell that thing was called, in a specific human being. Plus, how could anybody expect me to believe she realized, "Oh, these soldiers will be lonely and probably have some stability issues, let me plan out the creation of companion AI to help cope with their social ineptness." Any sort of planning that far ahead is unbelievable.

Which is only made possible by your over analyzing.
Actually I'm literally just listening to the dialogue from the game but k

"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.

It is the darkest in the sense that your hopes and dreams are dead.

Maybe the next game will be the darkest yet, literally. What tech actually works now? Guess there's going to be a galaxy wide blackout. Doesn't the Guardian's EMP disable everything? That's what the ending cutscene made it seem like.

They'll make it even more immersive and dark by having your xbox go black and shut off.

I really want to see Prometheans fighting Flood. Also imagine using the new Spartan abilities on Flood. They can be made more interesting and dynamic.

Anyways, here are my thoughts. Just beat the game like 10 minutes ago so wait a bit for the full, coherent review.



This game fucking sucked.

I'm not trying to hate on the game, but goddamn, it is bad. Not over(under?)selling it, it's probably the worst Halo to date so far.

Fan-fiction story, poor voice acting, TERRIBLE dialogue, uninteresting and generic characters, and boring level design all just leave a taste of disgust and want for something a little more substantial.

Nothing even happens over the course of this game. It's like Spartan Ops -- go here, shoot this, listen to dialogue. Repeat. Blue team's missions were a bit better, but Osiris missions were GOD AWFUL.

I hated every single one of Osiris team's members. Even Buck. They ruined Buck. "Hey, maybe you should use those turrets!". Just shut the fuck UP, Buck. Tanaka and Vale are both shamelessly generic and should die. Locke is shit but he annoyed me the least.

Blue team was better in the sense that they didn't annoy you as much. Fred had some cringe-worthy lines ("We'll follow you, brother." Easy there, Liquid). Linda barely talked. Kelly was the most interesting, mostly because her accent felt really unique in a game that's oversaturated with HaloFollower-tier autism. On a positive note, Chief feels like an extension of himself from the books, particularly when he notices how Cortana is trying to play off his emotions in the mission before he gets put to sleep. Can't remember the exact line, but it feels like Chief is starting to become a stronger character.

Cortana is whatever. Same generic bullshit that I keep harping on.

Warden Eternal was okay but underutilised. Exuberant Witness is far and away the best character in this game (and possibly all the games). Which doesn't say much, but it's worth noting.

The music was pretty good, but I often felt like it kept dickriding the main themes of the other games.

Sounds were great. Graphics were pretty awesome, especially with Locke. He felt real to me. The gameplay has never been this good.

But yeah, that's pretty much it. I reserve the right to change my assessment in the future, but as of now, it's the worst Halo I've ever played.

Warzone is also complete ass. If I wanted to play Destiny, I'd play Destiny.

The Arena multiplayer is actually really fucking fun. though. Best it's been since Halo 1. Very little aim assist, and all the new abilities feel really good. Probably has something to do with the pro-team and the beta.

What did Exuberant even do other than act like a female, not so british, version of Spark?

What are the odds that Halo 6 starts with Chief responding to Halsey with "Kept you waiting, huh?"

The last line in the game is basically "What took you so long?"

And Catherine only has one arm, just like Kaz.

The plot thickens...

And so begins the "Maybe Halo 6 will...."


One thing that sorta bugged me. At the very end, John is reunited with both Halsey AND The Arbiter. Yet he didn't even acknowledge the Arbiter, whom he called a friend. It's possible he didn't recognize him because of the armor, but all Chief saw at that moment was Halsey.

I fail to see how governing an entire solar system is even that big of a threat. Humanity at this point IIRC is spread across the galaxy. Ooh, you can destroy 25~ solar systems if we say no.

The Covenant had the Orion Arm. Humans had not even a percentage of that.

The galaxy is still mostly unexplored - so i'm sad she doesn't list any species we haven't seen yet in the last mission.


Also lol the yonhet got mentioned before the jiralhanae.

So this is my idea for the next halo campaign. As blue team you must find a key ship to activate the portal to get to the ark. Mendicant is reaching out to you for a solution to cortana or a means to fight her like a fleet of forerunner ships. Halsey is able to find coordinates to a desolate world ravaged by an acient war against the flood which you explore as blue team looking for the key ship. They barely make it in time through the portal and past the guardian on earth. They have help from other allies that distract cortana. The ark would be cool to go back to.

As Locke and crew you explore the Halo cortana has her sights on and stop her from gaining control of it. She's actually trying to release the flood for some reason, probably that she's under control of grave mind. So there you go, humanity plus forerunner ai and constructs vs cortana human ai and the guardians. Also I wonder if any covie ai sided with her that would be interesting.

Probably didn't help that, from what I've heard, the story was written by the guy who did Spartan Ops for 4. <.<

I mean, I wanted Spartan Ops Season 2...but not like this.

EDIT:  Fun Fact:  Spartan Thorne was supposed to be on Osiris, but 343 threw him into the trash bin for  Buck.
