Some of the gameplay could be better in my opinion. More cinematic like to match the dialogue being spoken during gameplay. But, it's also true that whomever gets the first average quality or above video out gets the most views and fame.

Not really... that was at the very beginning of Halo 3, by the end, they were quite good friends...

We got our right to upload videos over 15 minutes back! We already uploaded this on GLPtv, but we know that a lot of you aren't even aware of what's been going on with the channel, so we thought it'd be good to re-upload here! Javi and I also recorded a lengthy commentary discussing the good, the bad and the ugly for the Halo 5 story. Keep an eye out for that tomorrow. Other than that. Happy Halloween!

By the live action trailers, you can tell 343i had some great ideas, but sadly they didnt know what to do with them

[@Determ1nat1on]

They all just decided to throw in all that they've got!

[@duncanbrenner9243]

That’s the sad part with the new Halo Games. The writing has such great potential and you can totally see what they’re trying to throw down and you can think of so many ways it could have been pulled off to great effect, but the follow through and execution is so mediocre because 343 Industries is so focused on quick generation of profit.

[@PrivateAckbar]

I think the writing and project managment from 343 games has been terrible. They've really lost the essence of what made Halo great games when I was a kid. The whole Spartan ops thing is maybe the biggest blunder. But the way they tell melodramatic political stories is so far removed from the tone of CE, Reach and everything in between.

Contana's tragic story: You either die a hero, or live long enough to see your self become the villain.

[@as7river]

Remember when an Elite with a sword meant trouble? Remember when a Hunter meant having to actually do something smart? Remember when finding a weapon that wans't an AR/BR or pistol made the game twice as fun? Remember when the story made sense? Remember when the music was so epic you would sometimes just re-load the last checkpoint? Remember when the plot was on point? Remember when Halo meant split-screen? Do you remember when Halo was good? I do, and it brings tears to my eyes to watch this butchery. This is what happens when 12 year olds dominate the market, when sales get in the way, when games are made out of profit, instead of passion. For fuck's sake, this is why I sold my Xbox 360 to build a gaming PC.

[@SubduedRadical]

On the one hand, I understand not liking Halo 5 much... ...but did you even play Halo? "Remember when finding a weapon that wans't an AR/BR or pistol made the game twice as fun?" Did you even play Halo 1? The PISTOL was basically the best weapon in the game. Unless you had a REALLY good reason to do otherwise, you always carried it as one of your weapons. And what do you mean about Hunters and "actually do something smart"? They were EASIEST to kill in Halo 1...BECAUSE OF HOW GOOD THE PISTOL WAS. Seriously, I've played Halo since the start. I get that it's hipster to rag on all modern stuff, and I often agree - I even partially agree here in that MOST of Halo 5 was kinda bleg. ...like, seriously, I hated "Spartan Powers" and "Spartan charge all these random walls to get nothing (one or two have hidden weapon caches, but most of them are either (a) meaningless or (b) just to continue the level, which MAKES THEM (a) meaningless)", "scramble"(climb walls - which on the one hand I like, but on the other, it's practically cartoonish...) ...yet the overall plot of Halo 5 wasn't that bad, it was just WAAAAAY too short (like, it's not even half the length of a legacy Halo game's campaign). I liked Meridian, for example, and there was some good world-building letting us go there and, to a point, Sanghilios... ...but a lot of the pacing was bleh, and the stupid subplot of "Capture the Master Chief! He's gone AWOL!"(as if the dude hasn't done enough to be allowed to retire at this point with highest honors) was inane. The "Agent Locke hunting Master Chief" plot idea wasn't even a good idea to start with, but the execution was absolutely not there. ALL. THAT. SAID: Halo 5 did some decent world-building, had okay music, and had a plot that kind of bridges the gap, connecting Halo 4 and Halo Wars 2 to Halo 6, so it will have done its part. Oh yes, I expect a lot more from Halo 6 (or Halo 6 will be my last ever Halo to play...), but Halo 5, while the black sheep of the family to be sure, is not a total garbage pile. I've seen and played much worse, and I found it annoying but not abjectly bad.

(so, Much appreciate the HD options and good sound :) Seriously, I have been missing this very much, and though I can't play it, I can finally remember experiencing this for myself. -It's actually been quite therapeutic, and Truly wanted to thank you for it.

[@tipoomaster]

Interesting that Cortanas lines are word for word from the Halo 4 ending Didact speech...I think there's some mingling or screwery going on there that's messing with her.

[@Spartan111MS]

+tipoomaster It's actually been inferred by a few of us that she was affected by the flood/precursor Logic Plague that was used during the Flood/Forerunner war. This same Plague turned many Forerunner AI and even infected the Ur-Didact. It is quite possible that the Plague was present within the Domain and infected Cortana while she was being 'treated' for Rampancy. In the Halo Wiki it states that the between Halo 2 and 3 the Gravemind was attempting to corrupt Cortana with mass data dumps, but she was rescued before the process was completed, but it shortened her life by at least a year. Go read up on the Logic Plague.

[@tipoomaster]

Spartan111MS I'm aware of the logic plague, that could certainly be a part .But it doesn't explain why their lines are so similar, all that luminous sun crap. Unless it's just artistic licence to show the similarities between what Cortana wants and what the Forerunners wanted with the Mantle. But if it's not, I think the Didact's questionable "end" in Escalation has something to do with it and somehow his composed mind is affecting hers.

[@UdayNatt]

+tipoomaster If you've been watching Agents of SHIELD... What happened to cortana is exactly what happened to Skye's Mother. She was a good person with immense power. But after she was taken by an evil Hydra scientist, experimented on and torn apart, she became evil, even repeated some of his lines. She became the villain, and had to be killed to save everyone.

[@UdayNatt]

and she had to be killed by the same man who loved her most in the world. because he knew what she was going through, and he cared for the greater good.

[@johnusas2870]

+Steven marvel if anything my theory and hope its correct is the actual Cortana we know and love is gone the Cortana we see now is one of her rampant parts that we see her shed off at the end of halo 4 to take down the Didacts shield thus explaining the radical nature of this Cortana and the fact Cortana prime directive was to save/ protect humanity which ment sacrificing John and even herself to make that mission come true and the three laws of robotics programmed into evey AI one of thoes laws being that a robot/ AI can not ever cause harm to a human it would be theoretical that a rampant part of Cortana would disregard her number one priority mission but also disregard the three laws atleast that's my theory if 343 pulls a fast on that this is the normal Cortana I'll just fully give up Cortana is dead we all saw her die in 4 I was pissed that she's still alive I'll let it slide if this is a rampant fragment but it has to be just that nothing more nothing less

[@phoenixfire9176]

wtf did they do to Cortana's model. it just got worse and worse with each halo game.

[@phoenixfire9176]

Karl Beltran sure, but making her uglier doesnt help that in anyway.

[@brandongreen8004]

I just realized that this reclaimer saga is just like season 2 of Green Lantern: The Animated series where a A.I that's originally on the good side takes on the big bad, wins, then becomes the bad guy by taking power for themselves in misguided sense of peace, and then is taken out by their lover/allies through a pain when the A.I hurts them and changes its ways. I'm just hoping halo won't go down the predictable road.

Actually no. Halo 5 story isn’t written poorly and there’s a multitude of reasons as to why the case. If you’re going to use the commercials as a reason of choice, that’s a poor point. Looking over this video, it’s actually kind of funny to realize how people have originality sided with a previous series simply due to a developer. Halo 5 isn’t the most amazing story, but it’s a continuation that makes sense in the lore, logic, and actuality of the halo universe.

Well, that whole discrepancy is explained in the books, but if we're going by Cinemasins logic, then the books shouldn't matter.

There's a specific demographic of people targeted here coupled with a desperate attempt to out do the original creators. No quiet moments. No humor. Just a cynical recreation of a great thing.

Do you guys think that was Black box from Hunt the Truth when all the AIs are joining her? 2:12:48

[@keenansanders832]

I’ll never forget playing this for the first time, getting to the moment @1:01:00, the guardian is about to teleport, shock waves are causing havoc and then…it just slips away and scene fades to black?! A huge rule of storytelling is “show don’t tell” but 343 did w lot of the opposite in this game. They named the game guardians but it feels like they have no impact other than looking cool. We only hear about the destruction they cause other than a quick scene where a building is falling apart. We hear about AIs pledging allegiance to Cortana but we don’t see the impact of it. They tell us about tension between Locke and Chief but we only get one unplayable fight scene. There were some great ideas for this game but the execution was horrible.

[@elliotjohnson9415]

I disagree regarding the Guardians having no impact. Their presence is ominous and threatening from the moment they become activated, and ultimately they serve a big part of the 'mystery' element of Halo's story. As the game proceeds you see that they can slip space quickly, they they have destructive shockwave capabilities, that there are a huge amount of these constructs, and the Cortana has activated loads of them for her cause. This builds to a huge moment where Cortana's Guardian releases a huge EMP on Earth, which is a huge show of force and threat; killing untold amounts of people. The Guardians are a gradual build up in Halo 5, but by the end of the game their impact on the galaxy is pretty clear I feel. The fallout of Cortana, The Created and the Guardians taking over should have been explored in the sequel. That would have been the ideal way for things to go forward, as Halo 5 was an introduction to the faction. Instead we go Infinite. I agree regarding Chief and Locke. There was no real conflict or tension there, a wasted opportunity I guess.

[@keithscommunityanddomestic9513]

At 2:00:55, that's right Kelly but Cortana is probably troubled in her own mind. John expressed a distrust in Cortana, so Cortana would be questioning if she can trust John, even though they do trust each other. But the Warden is making things difficult between them. The Warden has more power than both Cortana and John know. They are fortunate the Warden has vowed to protect Cortana. Cortana is probably also hoping that John can destroy the Warden because she knows that it is the Warden who will not be swayed.

[@omegacytheartist]

All of the Halo games are amazing including this one lol I try to see from the point of view from people who are complaining and I don't see how this story is poorly written. It's actually pretty impactful how the story has progressed to this masterpiece. I've played all Halo games and they all fit their purpose to the next one or a previous one. Thanks for uploading these videos it's very helpful when you want to revisit the lore.

Darkseid Omega Same I freaking love each Halo game. One might think the “majority” hates Halo 4 and 5 but it’s not true. It’s just that negativity and complaints leads people to post online and make the people like you and me that love these games scared to appreciate it. The internet has always been like this for some reason. In real life I always see people who love stuff that the “majority” of people on the internet dislike/hate.

This still doesn't make any since Linda and chief were on reach when they left by lore account and Linda was clinically dead frozen in a cryo pod on the Pillar of autumn. And the Pillar of autumn blew up and all likely hood she was on it.

[@tTaseric]

The novel you're getting this from, 'Fall of Reach', was part of a trilogy of novels. The third novel in this trilogy was called 'First Strike' which explained how Linda survived, Chief and Johnson got back to Earth, and how Halsey got off Reach, among other things. A quick summary: Linda, and the rest of the cryo-pods, were dumped out of the ship before it crash-landed on Alpha Halo. Linda was able to hang on to a thread of life due to her being frozen, and was left orbiting Alpha Halo. When Chief escaped the ring on the Longsword fighter, he found Linda's cryo-pod before meeting up with another Pelican, then hijacked a Covenant ship and made their way back to Reach where Halsey, Fred, and Kelly were picked up among others. Halsey was able to perform surgery to save Linda's life and she quickly re-joined Chief and the rest of Blue Team.

Many Spartan II's were canonically killed during augmentation and resuscitated later. A lot of them are technically already dead.

[@xxvaltielxx1789]

Aye! just to see where the lore takes us from here.

[@BattlePro3]

ME! I dunno if you were making a joke, but I am actually interested in the Reclaimer trilogy, more than in the original one. This one is actually the dark and sinister Halo I was told by my friends the original trilogy was. They killed Cortana, made her a villain, who knows what will happen in Halo 6

[@tavianarmstrong974]

so uhmmm the flood taking over life as we know it. and us losing our birthright (Earth) wasn't dark and sinister. look up the books if the original wasn't enough. Earth was to be assaulted by 500 covenant ships (many carriers, super carriers and a station the size of a moon with shield strength to match) when chief was returning to earth buddy.

[@BattlePro3]

Tavian Armstrong Meanwhile Chief jumps out the UNSC cairo and said the lines 'Bringing back their bomb'' as he jumped into space, guided the bomb to gun fire, dropped it at a covenant ship, fell to earth, had a few scratches, woke up, kicked covenant ass two minutes later. Very dark and sinister. I read the books, its more dark and sinister than the actual Halo 1 - 3 games. Ghost of Onyx for example, when Kurt saw video footage of his spartans dying in battle while they were surrounded by several covenant forces, three survivors, two of them carried the third when Kurt saw no vital signs. Dead, the other two shortly followed after while dying in battle. THAT is dark and sinister. Reach was dark and sinister, you are part of a squad, which tries to defend the planet with their lives, dying one after another, failing. You see the covenant launching an attack on civilians, sure it's scripted af but still its something I didnt see in any of the three original games, even Halo 3:ODST was completely empty, not even stragglers, complete empty with only police/military casualties. Idk about your definition, but dark and sinister is like the books, or like Reach, not where Chief jumps out of space through a cross fire of space ships, dropping the bomb on time, crashes to earth, standing up with a few scratches and kicking covenant ass two minutes later. Imo, dark and sinister in Halo is when a battalion of canon fodder attacks with 300 spartans and losses everything, and when the one in command of said battalion, watched them dying in the fight. Dark and sinister is when your whole squad knows its a lost fight but still give their lives to continue fighting, even though the planet is lost. Halo 6 can go ANY way now. In halo 2 and 3 I knew the whole time 'This is going to end good either way. In Halo 4 they killed Cortana, in Halo 5 she is the villian, who knows what happens in Halo 6.

[@tavianarmstrong974]

BattlePro3 oh hell no i wasn't talking about 2 or 3. Only Reach, 1, and ODST had a grim outlook. halo 6 will involve the spirit of fire saving our asses in halo wars 2 since they are at the ark and what not.

The only rings that were destroyed were Installation 04 and the new one in Halo 3 that was supposed to replace the one MC destroyed in Halo 1. The Flood still remains a big threat in Halo. How they pushed them aside for these stupid Forerunners and Guardians is beyond me. The Flood IS the enemy of all enemies.
