The next game is a chance for 343i to re-introduce

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.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I'm already feeling like the Prometheans have overstayed their welcome.

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.

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.
Meanwhile, the wait for Video Game Dunkey's wisdom continues
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?"
"These Guardians can police an entire solar system" Can't even kill a few Spartans

Humanity at this point IIRC is spread across the galaxy. Ooh, you can destroy 25~ solar systems if we say no.
Also I wonder if any covie ai sided with her that would be interesting.

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.

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.
