As for the Sangheili, what excuse are they going to use now? In Halo 4, 343i said that the Sangheili evolved. What now? They could have based the design off of the Halo 2 Anniversary elites at least. The current models are a constant reminder of the space hicks that we encountered back in 4.
Literally the only issue with the use of the Halo 4 Sangheili model in Halo 5 is Thel 'Vadam.
Please rid of the trash before it festers further into my Halo.

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
Campaign could've gone better considering the sudden cliffhanger.

Matchmaking/Gameplay is without a doubt the best. Esp. with Warzone.

Spoiler
I'm not using the scale due to it possibly being the most confusing and pointless scale I've ever seen.

Fits in with the Universe just fine.
Spartans are literally superheros. They're capable of crazy shit that's otherwise impossible to regular non-augmented non-futuristic power armour wearing people.

But you don't really know much about the canon, so...

The biggest problem with Reach was that it broke established canon, but I'm of the opinion that creative freedom trumps consistency.
You're like the biggest whiner ever about MGS4 messing and retconning things.
No consistency brings issues. Lots of issues.

Why do you bother trying with him? He has a pretty hard hate boner for anything that isn't mgs. His opinion is about as useful as IGN when trying to decide if anything is good.

No, you're just complaining about shit that doesn't matter. Like, at all.

Unless you also want to complain about how Bungie used a Marathon-Class cruiser for the Autumn in Halo 2, or Blur used the model for Installation 05 for Installation 04 in H2A, or how bungie was too lazy to actually create characters so they made two of their player characters pretty much nonexistent.

Halo 5 has many problems, but complaining about reusing assets that you literally see for half a second total is retarded.

I'm bitching because it's something that I work around quite often. I find the style offputting. H2A was a step in the right direction, aside from the tiny feet.

Based on what the gameplay establishes? No, it doesn't. But "gameplay ain't canon" (which is fucking stupid btw). Sorry for expected what is shown to me to be consistent.

Completely different, though.

1. MGS4 is a FAR worse offense.
2. MGS4 contradicts things that were established within the actual games, Reach doesn't.
3. The retcons were complete horseshit, Reach is essentially non-canon IIRC now.

Why do you bother trying with him? He has a pretty hard hate boner for anything that isn't mgs. His opinion is about as useful as IGN when trying to decide if anything is good.

Except I don't. I only hate what's shit, like Halo 5's story. But yeah, let your inner fanboy take over.

I'll be the first to admit that Halo 5's story was pretty crap.

But at the same time, someone who has a pretty obvious bias against something is about as reliable as someone who gives everything a 10/10.

If I went to play FIFA and then said it's shit, I don't expect anyone to take me seriously because I don't like football and I think that football games are dumb anyway. You seem to have this superiority complex where you are always right and everyone else is wrong. I can't exactly take that seriously, nor the fact that you play games "but don't like gameplay" but then proceed to praise gameplay.

Have some consistency for once.

I thought we were making complaints of Halo 5. There isn't much to bitch about, mostly due to the lack of overall content I suppose. If the Promethean shitfest was less abundant and the pacing remained steady around most places, I probably would have enjoyed it more with my friends. The only thing I'm truly pissed over is the "reward" for completing the game on legendary.

I don't have any bias. What would I stand to gain from being against Halo?

what kind of an idiot thinks that they're wrong and everyone else is right? Of course I think I'm right. If I didn't think I was right, I'd fix it so I did think I was right. This is basic shit.

Quote

I never said I don't like gameplay. I said I don't care about it. And obviously I would praise a game for good gameplay, but if everything else is solid (like TLOU), I don't care.

What does this even mean.

Like I have some reputation for being inconsistent.

Gameplay isn't canon. Never has been.
Gameplay being canon is fucking stupid, because it restricts literally everything.

If gameplay was canon, and augmented super soldier that was wearing power armour would only be capable of walking at a very slow pace, and 20th century bullets can shoot through titanium allow (a literal bullet proof material), somehow.
If gameplay was canon, augmented super soldiers are only capable of running by attaching a device to their power armour.
If gameplay was canon, augmented super soldiers would now be able to run in their power armour through the means of magic without any external device.

See how fucking stupid that is? Gameplay isn't canon. Never has been.
It massively limits the universe, and is just utterly retarded.

Plus Halo 5's gameplay is the closest it has ever been to matching what Spartans can do.
It's not like the Osiris Cutscene happened, and then threw you into CE's clunky ass slow gameplay.
Multiple things Osiris did in that cutscene (groundpound, sprinting, thrusters) are gameplay mechanics.

It doesn't matter if TFoR isn't a game, but H:Reach is. H:Reach contradicted TFoR in many ways, none of them being good or making sense.
H:Reach's contradictions and retcons were complete horseshit too.
TFoR and H:Reach now coexist because 343 had to fix Bungie's shit by releasing Data Drops that made them connect.

So I was thinking about a few things in the campaign...

What's the point of all the Guardians meeting up on Genesis? Couldn't Cortana have just sent them to the planet she wanted them to control without going to Genesis?

How could Cortana not have known about the Guardian on Sanghelios? Why was it not active? If it was going to Genesis all along, why would Osiris even need Roland's coordinates and the constructor? Couldn't they have assumed they were all going to the same place and that's where Chief is?

Movement looks shitty and about as CoD-like as Halo's ever been, do not want / 10.
Plays nothing like CoD.

Do not want funky aiming animations and HUD mess.
Works exactly the same as it always has.

Microtransactions and random card stuff, ew.
Don't buy them?
It's still a fairly balanced system, plus all DLC is free.

The burden of creating a universe that suits the gameplay is on the programmers/animators, not the writers. Oh well.

Quote
It doesn't matter if TFoR isn't a game, but H:Reach is. H:Reach contradicted TFoR in many ways, none of them being good or making sense.

Games are inherently more important canonically than a book is when you consider that this is a video game universe. If it were up to me, Reach would've been canon and not TFoR. Though I bet most of you are glad it's not up to me.

Quote
H:Reach's contradictions and retcons were complete horseshit too.

And they were all fixed IIRC. None of MGS4's were.

Clambering, vaulting, groundpounding, even more sprinting, dodging and all that jazz makes it look like plays like CoD. Not saying I wouldn't enjoy it. Just saying it looks even more removed from the core gameplay I loved in Halo 1-3.
Groundpound and dodging aren't features from CoD, or something that CoD did before Halo.
Dodging has been in Halo since 2010. Advanced Warfare didn't release until 2014.

Saying sprinting makes it play like CoD is meme tier at this point because it's so ridiculously dumb.
Sprint isn't a CoD gameplay mechanic.

Same with clamber.

Because it doesn't.
It's a pupil of an eye that's marginally different than what it was on previous iterations of the same character.
