Let's also hope that they stop taking inspiration from CoD and actually bother to inform the player on what the hell is going on in the story.

Oh no no no they did that.
By cramming as much horribly unclear unfitting exposition that shoe-horned the Chief into the CHOSEN ONE AND GOD SAVIOR OF THE GALAXY into a 60 second flashy pre-rendered Cutscene Ex Machina.
Seriously, that fucking Librarian scene was the worst god damn insult in the game.
Fuck 343.
Hopefully they'll make a good game and not a terrible one like they did to halo 4

I don't remember them bothering to explain why you were fighting the Covenant again.

Oh shit, I'm sorry. I forgot that it's not Halo if you aren't fighting Covenant.
Isn't it funny how the Covenant are still the primary enemy types, but they had basically no real importance in the story?

Okay honestly I wouldn't go [i]that[/i] far. Despite its flaws, I thought Halo 4 was still pretty fun, even if the plot made no sense and they tried too hard to emulate CoD.
I will say, that even if it made no sense, it's better than having to fight Prometheans all the time. They were just fucking awful and boring to fight.
If there's one good thing I can say about the plot, it's that it doesn't end on a cliffhanger. It introduces a new villain, and by the end of the game, the villain is defeated. That's something I certainly wasn't expecting, and I really wish more games were like this, rather than trying to leave things open for the sake of easily setting up a sequel.
Especially if it's unclear if there even will be a sequel.
Damn it, Bulletstorm.
maybe with every new art director that works on the game, cortana's ass and tits get bigger.
halo 5 cortana double d's confirmed

Actually they did explain it, not in the game itself, but the novels before it which is really stupid way to do it.
They're not the Covenant but a splinter group or some stupid shit reason to get you to fight them again.

This exactly, the plot does make sense and is actually pretty okay, but they put the 90% of the plot in everything they made [I]but[/I] the game. Seriously, 6 novels, 1 comic series, an audiobook thing, a movie (Forward Unto Dawn), even parts in a Windows 8 exclusive game. You also had to find a load of terminals which a player probably wont do on their first run. You also had to play the Spartan Ops missions and cutscenes which were released over quite a long while. They are also trying to clue up the loose ends in a new comic series I think. You can see how stupid of an idea all this was, Bungie pulled off their novels and comics well, while keeping the main plot in their games.
And even with all that, why didn't Chief or Cortana ask anybody why the Covenant were attacking? Did they read the books?

whats that over there
is that the script?
I thought it was obvious they were just hold outs or the space Taliban or some shit.
The Liberian thing was god awful though
[B]GIANT ROBOT BIRDS[/B]
Yea, halo is in good hands
[sp]It's not ;_; [/sp]
I wonder if they will go somewhat back to the old artstyle instead of this dubstep light flare show currently going on.
It's like that one room on reach where the Covenant are dancing, only everybody here is no fun allowed 24/7 and so nobody dances.
Halo basically died for me when I started fighting Tron-extras and the story was left to the expanded universe
With the original trilogy Eric Nylund's books were supplementary to the plot of the the first three, now you're left befuddled without the Karen Travis books
halo 3 pc pls

You[sp] meet the Librarian and she tells you that she engineered ALL of Humanity so that the growth of generation after generation will result in a single person, the Chief, being born with the ability to resist the big bad's evil weapon.[/sp]
Spoiler tagged even though nobody in their right mind should give a shit.

Why do people keep hiring Karen fucking Traviss? She turns everything into a fucking warrior society fantasy she endlessly masturbates to and she doesn't give a fuck about the lore of anything she didn't create. Its bad enough she fucked up Gears of War's story.
I heard like when Karen Traviss makes a stand alone novel not going into anyone elses plot lines or any bigger plot lines it can be pretty decent, IE the Republic Commando novels. But when she's allowed to enter the EU of any universe and mess with the characters that other people have created it turns into a huge mess. An example is that she basically lusted after Mandalorians giving them god like abilities,perfect society, and any Mandolorian was able to beat Jedi. And from her POV Jedi were nothing but glory hounds who needlessly killed people,etc,etc almost contradicting every piece of lore written about them let alone change the lore of characters. So in short, DO: Let Karen write her own books not affecting the main EU canon or story lines established, DO NOT: Let her write at all.

i literally cannot handle how retarded that is jesus christ
like they spent literally the whole motherfucking series establishing that he's just really really lucky and then suddenly nope its JESUS woohoo
and the thing is that that theme is directly contradicted by the OTHER stuff that they changed. like how the Spartans are just made from regular well-adjusted moralistic soldier dudes now, nope no ultimate sacrifice and tragic origin story there they're just DUDES now and they function fine as cyborg killing machines incapable of adjusting to civilized society, cos they're the [I]good guys[/I]!
like that is directly against the entire thing you're trying to establish in the plot and erggggghfth
Also don't forget that ONI didn't know anything about the Spartan II project, and that Halsey did it all by herself with no help at all.
Also she's space Hitler.
Did I mention she's space Hitler? Because fuck that, she's worse than space Hitler.
Like, 1,000x worse.
Seriously guys. :downs:
Fucking 343, I swear to god.
[QUOTE=bloboo;43529917]I hope these next producers try to involve even more doritos[/QUOTE]
I hope in halo 5 they bring back armor fx, and every one is just a different color of mountain dew
powerups will become different types of doritos but if you have one you gotta keep having more or else you die and you have to scan a code from the back of a doritos bag to play again
[editline]plz no[/editline]
please hire me MS I need a job

Correct me if I wrong but Spartan I's were mostly handpicked soldiers,II's were children raises to be the ultimate soldier, III's were like I's but they were more disposable, and now the IV's are...only the good guys?
the enemies in Halo 4 were annoying as shit
