I've heard something similar but not in as much detail yet. Skimmed over it to avoid spoilers.

I think it was stated in the main thread that Blue Team likely has longer missions, and more importantly, it wouldn't be much of a mystery if you don't get to figure it out with Osiris.

Can't say I'm too bothered, though.

apparently the blue team missions are something like 2-3 times as long as the osiris missions. meaning it kinda evens out. you can see this in the missions already released. seems as if the Osiris missions will be around 20 min long segments while those focusing on the chiefs perspective will be longer 40-50 min play-throughs

I never liked this kind of design - as someone who chips away at campaigns with the limited free time that I have, one mission that is close to an hour long is a pain in the ass to try and get through quickly.

yeaa.. and my suggested times were only based on how long people who demoed the missions took to complete what I assume to be the bulk of the level.

 Considering this campaign is apparently 14-16 hours long, anything could happen.

the missions on Genesis better be the most interesting and bizarre Forerunner installation we've ever seen then, and pretty lengthy. I hope. But it's disappointing that you're only in TWO locations as Blue Team. They're on Meridian, but you don't play as them on that colony. And, remember during the E3 presentation how Arbiter said Chief was at Sunaion? How could he possibly be there in the full game? I don't expect Blue Team to go to Argent Moon, Meridian, Genesis, Sanghelios, and back to Meridian.

We get to play as Osiris? I wonder if he's a warlock Titan or hunter, fellow guardians.

The split doesn't mean anything if their missions are a lot longer

I wouldn't say it means nothing - especially based on other information, it definitely appears that 343 is favoring one side for this game and future installments. It's understandable that they want their mark on the series, but it's frustrating nonetheless.

The whole point of the game is it's a mystery. We know as much about what Blue Team are doing as anyone else. The point is we're supposd to figure out what is going on as Osiris is, not just get bored while watching Osiris do whatever because we already know the answer.

A murder mystery from the POV of the murderer isn't a mystery. Same thing here.

Not everyone will. My problem is that for (however many books and games have been released so far that my lazy ass doesn't want to count), we have been told that they are the best of the best. And now, we're being told (allegedly) this new team is apparently better, since they have to finish off the enemy that the originals cannot.

It's clear that 343 wants their team (While the original team is Bungie's) to have a stronger role, and most likely take the lead in future games. That's fine, but until I see how they are storywise, I reserve judgements that I dislike it.

(Trying to keep this as vague as possible in case Bacon stumbles in)

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.
at this point it's not really a problem for me, i'm going to wait and see how it plays out first

That's sort of what I was thinking. What sort of issue would Blue run into that they couldn't handle that Osiris suddenly could? Unless, it's just a case of numbers adding up to help even the odds.

Exactly. We're talking about a team that has survived a planet being glassed, a shield world, killed (supposedly) the Didact, amongst others. And now, we find out that they're screwed, and Osiris has to stop whatever beat them?]/spoiler]

Blue Team are some of the best humanity has to offer. That doesn't make them invincible and capable of everything ever though.

Osiris having to rescue them doesn't really mean anything unless we have context. It doesn't even imply that Osiris are better and that Blue Team are incapable. It tells us that Blue Team have gotten into a situation that even they can't get out of alone, and need the extra help.


Tl;dr Blue Team aren't magical Gods. Even they, no matter how elite they are, have their limits.

Couple with the supposed script spoiler, I'm basing my opinions now on what we have.

If the game turns out amazing and it's completely different, I'll admit I'm wrong. But right now, I don't like it. Simple as that.
