@@lukekistan4004 Oh and they made enemies way too aggressive to entice you into directing your team to balance combat, only that doesnt work because the AI is trash.

[@basedstreamingatcozy-dot-t7126]

I disagree that the gameplay (in campaign) is even good. At least when I played, I had to take cover and take pot shots far too often. In other Halos, on heroic, it was all about the mobility. Run and gun, only move around cover for a moment to let your shields recharge. In Halo 5, I constantly had to find a rock or wall to turtle behind.

This Campaign is so baffling after replaying the games, especially 4. I actually liked their approach with Halo 4 telling a more personal story with Chief, and a big part of that was losing Cortana, which in a way was the thing closest to him and made him feel the humanity that was mostly taken from him. This game just spits on that whole idea, that I personally think they actually managed to pull off well in that game despite it being a risky move to kill off one of the last surviving main characters. Hopefully Infinite can somehow clean it up, but we'll just have to see.

[@slayrix279]

No, it doesn’t just spit on that, it adds salt to the wound, just imagine hearing about how your best friend, or maybe even the person you love, maybe one of your parents, had gone and done a mass shooting and killed 20 people, imagine how sad it would be to hear about that, probably even make you more sad than if they had died because your like, how could they have done that. Now imagine that for master chief, first he loses his companion that he had for years and grew an emotion connection to, but then when he learns that there might be a chance she is back years later he finds out she is back but only as a shell of herself and is now trying to kill humanity, that just makes he death even more meaningful because it adds to the tragedy.

might be misremembering but i read somewhere that one of the explanations the writers had to conjur up for cortana was that the cortana we see in h5 is a rampant part of her that survived and escaped the domain? but it’s still awful because the cortana we know and love would never be this violent. it’s not some thrilling plot twist, it just sucks seeing a beloved character make a complete 180 that doesn’t make sense for her. anyway if the rumors about bringing cortana back due to fan backlash are true, then the fans are fools cuz her fate in h4 was a bold writing choice that actually worked.

[@waitingword87]

after recently replaying the bungie trilogy i think I've narrowed it down on why this campaign feels so bad. The areas are too large for the ai to navigate. because the levels are meant for you the player to take advantage of "advanced movements" via spartan abilities the ai can't do this unlike in the bungie trilogy the ai travels the same way as you do. this leads to the ai being clunky and the enemies moving as if controlled by internet explorer. It makes you feel uninterested and makes you want to finish the level rather than have you take your time and be engaged in the moment. Many other things are wrong in this game but an essay would take too long.

[@orangejuicefan8265]

That's actually really logical, that explains alot

[@Fi_Sci_]

It had some good ideas, like having a new playable spartan, the squad mechanic, Arbiter, Swords of sanghelios, and The Domain. However things such as the marketing, death of Jul M’dama in the first mission, Choreography, Cortana’s evil revival, and most importantly the Lack of Chief after the great development he had gotten in Halo 4. Halo infinite has corrected the core mistakes, and is a return to form for the series.

[@willgotrocks5348]

I think game developers/directors need to understand something. As a small scale developer with your own game, sure it’s your direction. But once you take on a project like halo (as a new team of people like 343 into halo 4) it’s no longer “your vision,” we, the people paying for this are essentially your investors, we’re making it happen, it’s what we want NOT what you want, we could give less of shit to your shit ideas, unless your a well respected developer.

@@CHIEF__ yeah so right before The Fall of Reach, Chief took Linda and another Spartan-II named James (if I recall correctly) on a mission in orbit to destroy an AI aboard a space station. He sent Kelly, Frederic, and Will down to the surface of Reach to protect the batteries powering the orbital MAC stations defending Reach, as well as the remaining Spartan-IIs. During his Op, James' thruster sustained damage from a needler supercombine which yeeted him into space, and Linda got basically melted by plasma fire as they opened the door to the hanger and were ambushed. Kelly and the others managed to hunker down in Castle base where they also met Halsey and CPO Mendez. During this time they regrouped and managed to steal a few banshees and took over a Covenant ship as well, letting them escape Reach after the planet was destroyed. Where they went directly after I don't recall. At one point they do reconnect with Kurt, another Spartan-II that was Sam's replacement I think. It's during this time that the events of 'Ghosts of Onyx' take place. My favorite book, personally. Chief took Linda with him aboard a pelican and got back to the PoA in time for them to make their "random" jump, but Cortana managed to extract a space grid coordinates from an artifact they retrieved on another planet that they thought was just a rock (some people here might remember this part as it's also where we read about a Hunter just giving no Fs as it curbs a jackal to the ground simply for being in its way) In Halo: CE we can actually "see" Linda. He medical data in on display in the backroom attached to the room that overlooks the cryochamber where you start the game. FF: Blue team was actually on the Infinity during the events of Halo 4. The brass simply didn't tell them that Chief was alive and vice versa for reasons I don't know. Also the Didact survives being composed because in the graphic novels, Chief and co. go down and finish his ancient ass off.

Even Infinite falls into a trap with this, with the introduction of the Banished and Atriox in particular coming out of fucking nowhere unless you also played Halo Wars 2, read Tales from Slipspace, and the 4-part comic establishing them as a force to rival and ultimately destroy the Covenant.

[@OmegaStardustRiku11]

Haven’t watched the whole video yet, so I’m not sure if someone explained it, but here’s the story on Chief’s Squad (based on what I remember from books I read years ago): (Halo: Fall of Reach) All 4 of these Spartan IIs grew up and trained together on Reach, were good friends, and formed Blue Team. They fought the Human Insurrectionists and later the Covenant, and were all present on Reach during the Covenant invasion. Master Chief was assigned to leave the planet on the Pillar of Autumn and take Cortana, while the rest of them were pretty much just left to fight the Covenant and die. Linda fought alongside him to get him on board but was fatally injured, and Chief dragged her on board and put her in the cryopod next to his until she could be treated (she is I think the P2 in Halo CE, as seen by a medical display in the remaster). (Halo: First Strike) After escaping Halo Installation 4 in the first game, he finds her Cryopod adrift in space and retrieves it, and along with some other UNSC stragglers manages to heal her somewhat, and she returns to Earth with him but is not in real fighting shape during the events of Halo 2. I’m not exactly sure where she goes after this, but I think she is sent to Reach and reunites with the other two? (Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, I think) Fred & Kelly were together with some Spartan IIIs & Halsey on Reach and I think found a Forerunner Teleporter and were warped to Onyx, which then transforms into Shield World, trapping them inside and keeping any help from reaching them. In some later books (Kilo Five Trilogy), the group manages to unlock the Shield World, and is rescued by the UNSC sometime before Halo 4. Chief is on the other side of the Galaxy for that game, but when he returns to Earth after defeating the Didact in Halo 4, is reunited with his squad and they begin performing military operations again. There’s a comic series where they are sent to fight the Didact, who survived Halo 4, and then they just keep doing their thing until this game. Im pretty fuzzy on the Fred/Kelly stuff after Fall of Reach, but I think is fairly accurate. Hope Charlie or anyone else curious sees this!

[@sczufelt33]

In Reach, Jorge was the only Spartan 2. The others were all Spartan 3s. The explanation for Blue team being absent during the other games was they were on another mission during Reach and then they were sent to a Forerunner world and got trapped in a stasis chamber (Cryptum) for years I think until they got rescued. Linda was the only one with Chief, she was actually on the Pillar of Autumn in the first game but was severely wounded and stayed in her cryo pod (which was ejected into space orbiting the Halo ring) the whole game. Then they were sent on other missions instead of being linked up with Chief.

[@brysonkuervers2570]

They (Linda, Fred, Kelly, and Halsey) were all trapped together in a Forerunner Dyson sphere, and turns out due to the crazy physics of stuffing a planet and sun inside a planet, time went much slower inside than out, so the years between Halo 1 and 4 were only weeks to them. That's why Halsey shows up in Halo 4, but they make it confusing as fuck to follow when exactly she and the rest of Blue Team show back up, I believe it wasn't until after the events of Halo 4's campaign, but before Halo 4 Spartan Ops where Halsey suddenly reappears for the first in-game appearance since Reach. That's my best understanding of why Blue Team is back in 5, Halsey was in H4 Spartan Ops, and Blue Team and Halsey were both MIA until the end of Halo 4.
