I just figured it out.
Grab the incineration cannon, go to the left or right most side of the stage and cheese him from a distance.

Thought levels 3-6 were one level. At max two. Guess I'm already halfway done at around 4-5 hours
Yeah same, a bit disappointing.
Really? I love how they blink all over the place and try to out maneuver you. They also add a nice contrast to the Covenant.

So I feel like the
is basically just plastering over a significant rewrite. Because it just doesn't work. The in-game manifestation of those elements are incredibly weak at best, and it just seems so weird they'd
and then implement it so poorly. I feel like
. But I mean, I guess it could have just been badly done. I dunno. I'm so conflicted about this story man. On paper all the beats sound great, so in theory this would be one of my favorite stories. But how they actually put it all together... I just... Doesn't really work.
Locke vs. Chief/Chief is rogue "misdirection"
spend years hyping up this element that just ends up being discarded with the twist
it WAS supposed to be a big story about Chief going in rogue and actually being hunted, but then half of it got scrapped to focus on the Cortana twist

I agree 1000%.
I'm seriously wondering if this was a destiny type of situation where the story was thrown out wholesale and rewritten.

Focus teammates on him and then with a power weapon, like the incinerator cannon, get behind him and blast the ball on his back.

Yeah I had an amazing time, very fun levels.
The one where you walked around and talked with people was a bit odd, it didn't feel like it belonged in a Halo game. Same with the amount of action cutscenes.
Pro in no time now man.
nope

Just beat it on heroic, roughly 24 hours after I started it. It was cool, and I liked the story AND I liked the ending. I've read more of the books than most, though. I'm sure many will be very confused by what's going on with the reclaimers, the builders, the created, the creators, etc, etc.
My complaints
Remove the boss fights. Goddamn they're terrible.
Wish I didn't have to play as Locke for 80% of the game.
That's about it. Looks great, feels good, plays good. I hope we get to step foot on some more installations in Halo 6.
Yeah, sure, that's what it is.

Well sunset overdrive is installing fine, and that was a ex-rental family video copy that actually has some scratches. Guess I'll have to hope for the best with Microsoft store tomorrow.
I hope it doesn't take them an hour to exchange the game.

Stop with the untagged spoilers guys. Even if it's not story, talking about mission times or main characters can fuck people's experiences up.
There's a spoiler OT for a reason. If you want to discuss the campaign, go over there.

Only problem I've encountered thus far is that the game isn't saving my campaign stats any more
You can see here that after reunion it no longer tracks the time, but still tracks intel/skulls and I'm still getting achievements. Wanted to see what my total time was gonna be but I guess I won't be able to do that any more.

I ended up finally playing! 100% (?!) was the worst wait. But I finally played the first two missions. Loving what I'm seeing so far! I'll spend most of tomorrow on arena, most likely. I'm liking the sensitivity up to 6, though it does this weird thing where it turns slow at first and then picks up speed. I'm sure once you're playing against other people the sensitivity will need to be brought down, with everyone boosting and ducking shots constantly.

A lot of people are losing their stats. I was Oryx in SWAT, but now all my stats reset.

It definitely didnt feel like Halo but I thought it was kind of cool actually. It was nice to explore that little town and I found it charming how a lot of people hated the Spartans there.
I really enjoyed the action cutscenes.
The fight between Chief and Locke was easy to follow though I thought MC would have wiped the floor with him. I guess its that old age catching up to him. Its cute how Locke called him "Sir" though hah.
I thought it was funny how nonchalant
Blue Team was when they were just portal hopping. Gotta give it to Osiris though, they bailed out of the elevator and into the Pelican in style, especially Locke. Both Locke and Chief are cool in their own ways.

I think they are way less annoying in Halo 5. In 4 they were seemingly endless bullet sponges and if you happened to knock their shield off and then they teleported you got screwed, as that was enough time for the Knights to regain their shields. Mind you, I only speak from Legendary experience, as that's the only way I play Halo. And in Legendary they sure are a pain in Halo 4! I find the Prometheans much easier to handle and bring down on Legendary in 5.

Are there any other gametypes in Arena besides Breakout? I've gotten it 6 out of 9 times.
Goddamn it we're agreeing then.
I think
I'm just frustated at reviews assuming the books have the magical plot in them, when in the case of Halo 5 it isn't true for anything other than its background story.
Halo 5's story problems are entirely of its own making.

Let me ask this as far as the story goes. Does it make sense why I have to play as Locke for 80% of the campaign? I really don't care about him or Osiris (minus Buck of course) and hearing that I have to play as him for almost the entire game is both aggravating and extremely disappointing.

Playing legendary solo and going up against our ole friend the Warden for the 1st time.

Anyone else feel like it's very unheroic and unChief-like to ask for assistance (when you go down)? Seems to bizarre to me. I'd honestly rather die, makes me feel like a wimp as chief. Also, I'm not really feeling 60FPS to be honest. I know there's a chance I'll adapt to it, but everything feels so floaty and weird right now. Like I'm watching what's happening rather than participating. *shrug*
Halo 5's length issues are entirely to do with the overall plan, not how they segmented it. I always liked shorter missions anyway.

Sweet, got ranked diamond in slayer, better than I thought I would do.
Got to mission 6 out of 15 now.
Played Chief for ONE damn mission so far. Disappointed to say the least.
Other than that, one of the 6 missions so far was one I had to talk to some people. It felt EXTREMELY limited, badly designed, emotionless checklist stuff you see in basic/amateur game design.
It seems no one at 343 ever helped developing a walk simulator or a dialogue driven game. It sucked so much I almost quit right there. No way to care for any of those npcs.
I don't know, kinda disappointed so far.

I like meaty missions that feel like an adventure, but they don't always end up staying consistent. The Covenant from Halo 3 for example is great up until the Flood ending.

I lose a breakout game 4-0 to 4-5 yesterday
At least we don't
get two cutscenes as missions... But this is only just a tiny bit better.

Did you sleep yet? Quick question, if I bought the digital LE with the warzone packs doesn't anyone playing on my home console also have access to that? My Son does not have the Warzone REQ packs.

People who have beaten the campaign solo on legendary how do you
pls halp
beat the three damn wardens??
pls halp
The Covenant is the best example though. Other examples include missions like Halo or Winter Contingency or Infinity. They are boring in comparison and would be better suited to being split.
