This pretty much summed up why Halo 5 is more of a 'Halo 4.5' and not a full game (in terms of Campaign). I'm personally happy with it, but it could have been so much more detailed. It only touches on most characters in a failed attempt of trying to cover everything. It needed to be longer, and more in-depth. And Red, as much as I appreciate the response, I only needed a brief answer...not a thesis. Edit: Placed quote in spoiler.

The first one. That way I can still help people and make their lives better. The latter seems like a selfish option. Would you rather win $1 million and donate it to a legitimate charity, and win $10,000 and keep it to yourself? Feel free be 100% honest, you won't be judged (not by me anyway...)

Thanks that's perfect. - On Legendary the Campaign drags on to more than 4 hours, never tried LASO before though. - Blue Team don't have a strong personality, so their 'development' was just fine in my eyes. You're right about Osiris though. If they're going to play a key role in the story, they're going to need more background and better character dev. - Hunt the Truth was definitely more of a side story, I don't think they intended to have it directly in the campaign. I do agree that some factors should have been brought in though, such as the whole Sapien Sunrise situation. - Agreed. They could have put more memorable characters in. It's great to see the Arbiter, but what happened to other key figures such as Admiral Hood? - I've got a feeling they'll bring back a classic map in a future DLC update. - I'm personally not interested in forging myself, and haven't looked into the maps, so I'll take your word on this one. - I'm fine with the game types, but they're not as varied as previous Halo games so that's a definite flaw. - I've also had issues with the spawning at times, and I don't like it. Mainly occurs in Arena. - I didn't see that big of an issue with textures, but their faults could have most likely been avoided if 343 invested more time in developing them. - The fact there's no split-screen is a massive issue for most people, and one of Halo 5's biggest failures. It personally doesn't bother me that much, but it's an issue that should have been dealt with before launch. - Forge coming out later is most likely due to Microsoft's deadline. - From what I've seen of Forge, all I can say is that it looks more complex. Something that would definitely need a tutorial, nice thinking. - For most people that's not an issue, but it matters to some. Aren't Forge and Campaign accessible without Gold? - Before launch I thought the REQ system was going to really bother me, but now I don't have any major issues with it. Not to say it's flawless, a much better system could have been produced. I still think Halo 3 does the best job of rewarding players for completing challenges (achievements most of the time). These challenges were mostly done in Campaign as well, so Gold wasn't required. - The low sales are most likely due to the impression people had after Halo 4. Many disliked it, but seeing that Halo 5 has improved from it, I think sales just need time to begin getting closer to Halo 4's sales. Halo 4 was more hyped, everyone wanted to know what happened after Chief was lost on the Dawn, this is unlike Halo 5's hype. Many dropped out after Halo 4, that's mainly why the sales have been no where near as high as before. People were disappointed with H4, and lost faith in 343 Industries. This is more of an effect, not really a cause, but it's great to compare the sales. Statistics mean everything to the producers. These are great points. It seems some of you are disappointed with the quality of the campaign. What is it exactly that makes you believe the campaign is a failure?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Nice to see your thoughts on Halo 5 and how the next FPS can be improved from it. I honestly haven't seen that much negative criticism. Besides the lack of split-screen being the biggest problem, I don't see why many think the game is not a success. It's a definite improvement from Halo 4 (which wasn't that bad IMO). Could you please list the key points in which Halo 5 'failed'?

Most would agree that Halo 5 is a success. It has had better feedback than Halo 4 did, and 343 improved on everything. It's not often you hear a complaint about Halo 5, and when you do it's nothing major. With all that, there's always room for improvement. For me, there are two features I want: - A UNSC Aircraft We've had the Hornet in Halo 3 and the Falcon in Halo: Reach, but since then we've had no UNSC aircraft for use in-game. Now they've introduced the Phaeton, which is great, but there's only Forerunner and Covenant aircraft available to us. The Hornet and Falcon are most likely decommissioned, they're out of date. A new UNSC Aircraft is needed, we all know it. - Firefight We need more PvE combat, and it's definitely Firefight. Spartan Ops served as a replacement in Halo 4, but most thought Classic Firefight was irreplaceable. Surviving endless waves of Covenant with limited lives was great back in ODST. If 343 bring this back, I'm sure many will be pleased. Now, what would you like to see in Halo 6? Do you agree/disagree with my thoughts? Is there anything you'd like 343 Industries to remove in Halo 6? Share your thoughts below. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I personally really like '117' from Halo 4, possibly the best from it's album. I also prefer 'The Trials' to 'Blue Team' in Halo 5's album, mainly because it's less repetitive and felt more engaging. I also think that the remastered Halo 2 soundtracks were actually not as good as the original. It seems as if Halo 2 and Halo 5 are the best-composed games, and that is something I can agree with. I'd definitely put Halo 3 and Halo 4 up as second place. Here's this dilemma: Some albums have one track that's better than most others, but it's not as well rounded as the others, and vice versa. It's like there isn't one album full of great songs, but again, all down to opinion. For one 'perfect' Halo album, we'd probably have to combine songs from various different games. After reading your replies, I am more confident in an album to invest in if I ever choose to purchase one. Please feel free to continue discussing your thoughts.

Sure this is down to opinion, but which Halo Soundtrack do you believe is the best? I only recently began paying more attention to the music in each different game, and there's some nostalgia behind them all. Some of them are powerful, well-composed pieces that really define Halo, and war all together. Please vote for your favourite album in the poll. Also feel free to share your thoughts on each track and any favourites you have. Thank you. Edit: I am referring to the full albums, not an individual track.

Sounds good, looking forward to it.

Nice work Sniper. I'm personally not a fan of custom designs at all, but you clearly put a lot of effort into these. Are these originally from McFarlane by the way? If so, I'd like to see your collection of original, non-customised models.

Halo: Spartan Assault is set in 2554, when the Covenant Remnant is fighting the UNSC. The Remnant is comprised of Elites, Grunts, Jackals, and Hunters. In the simulation we also encounter Drones and Brutes. Is this canon? I understand all of Spartan Assault is accurate, but I don't believe that Brutes served with the Covenant Remnant, not sure about Drones. There is also a self-destructing drone that the Spartans can deploy to take out enemies which is only seen in the Spartan Assault simulation, is this also canon or just another feature implemented into the simulation? Thanks.

Welcome to the community.

Unfortunately this is not 343 Industries' official site, they'd have a higher chance of seeing your request if you share it in Waypoint: https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forumsI understand your concern though, I'm confident that 343 Industries won't let anyone down with Forge. They'll most likely surpass your expectations, so don't worry about it not being good enough.

If it's that good, I'd revive it. I'm sure others would understand why. Although, most dead threads should remain inactive (but archived if vital). Would you rather posses an energy sword, or a light saber?

Congrats to all of you, I01 is looking good. Keep up the nice work.
