So, do both teams team up at the end to take down a stronger enemy? I feel that this was the logical conclusion when I first saw this game being developed.

I haven't gotten to play it yet so I don't know the story.

The only halos that exist for me now and in this order are Reach. Halo 1, 2, and 3.

If they are ever released as a package for pc i will buy them likely but i will not buy an Xbox Console specially for what i believe to be crap Halo 4, 5, and likely 6 (Six is just my assumption based on where they are taking the story (also because the fact that i feel a need for high refresh rates and high resolutions). Halo is not Halo anymore.

343 just isn't the Halo company that Bungie was. Even Bungie isn't the company that Bungie was.

Man i was a gigantic halo nerd back in the day. Ever since Halo 3 the franchise has been dead in the water. Its been really disappointing to watch one of my favorite gaming franchise just slowly burn out over the years. Should've ended the series at 3, you know when the story ended.

That's kind of how I feel. Or else take it in a new direction with a new spartan team or a forerunner series. I'm also a big Halo nerd when it comes to the story and the Halo universe and Halo 3 wrapped the story up so nicely that 343 had to practically pry it open again to write Halo 4. The biggest beef I had with Halo 4 is that

Halo is dead. Halo CE until 3 had either good story/atmosphere or multiplayer. But After Halo Reach all was lost and it was just Call of Duty with Power Rangers. Hell, they even fired Marty! What is Halo without Martys music??

I liked Reach, I played it on Hard from the very start and it became enjoyable. You're teammates can't die, which was alright I guess, but you could, and lots of times which made the game both fun and challenging, well as much challenge as you can get from a Halo title. The many numerous "quests" in the games and locations made this title stand out. It was the first time since Halo 2's "Scorpion crossing the bridge" scene that reminded me of fun. The characters were cool, and the concept was awesome as well.

I get why you would call it a power ranger game, haha, but if Master Chief and his spartan had ever made that game, then it would still be the same but we would all consider it cool. Well I guess that's what happened with 5 but in a bad way.

I agree with your assessment on story, but didn't Marty migrate to Destiny with Bungie and then get fired? I don't think 343 had a hand in that.

Microsoft-owned studio 343 Industries is capable of better than this and proved as much with its killer freshman effort, Halo 4.

This is a joke right? I think even Halo 5 is better than that half baked garbage.

I liked the gameplay of Halo 4 more than most previous Halo games, but I think it lacked the compelling story of Halo 1-3, especially 3. The problem is that Halo 3 wrapped things up so nicely that they kind of had to pry the doors back open and come up with a way to continue the story, and I don't think they did a good job of that. By all reviews it sounds like Halo 5 takes the gameplay of Halo 4 and improves it; I think most of this guy's troubles comes from the advent of squad-based co-op and the implementation of the friendly AI, which can make or break a single-player experience.

Why improve upon a turd?

Halo 4 was dumbed down trash that severely lacked any sort of skill gap in the single player or multiplayer, and Halo 5 only really continues upon that trend, but at least Warzone is decent.
