Halo 5: Guardians

Having fun in Warzone woot

Warzone is pretty legit, the best thing to happen to Halo since Forge back in Halo 3

YouTube videoJoe's ripping this a new *******.

Is the SP really like 4 hours long?

Maybe if you play on easy and rush...

It took a friend and me seven or eight hours on heroic.

Might that be because you and your friend are shitters, though?

Nah.

mmm

Jackfrags did a playthrough on Youtube. Five episodes long, average length was about 40-45 minutes. It does seem like a pretty skimpy storymode, and the ending seemed kind of anticlimactic.

Kinda like Bungie's Halo 2 but that's okay. It's 343's trilogy so they got to end it somehow that'll make you want to see the third.

As for the length of the game, depends how long the highest difficulty will keep me busy do I consider it short or long and most Halo games have kept me busy for awhile on solo legendary. Halo 4's took me almost a whole day.

First playthrough on heroic with a friend took me either a couple days or a day and a half given that we were also going for the intels, skulls, and some other miscellaneous stuff on first playthrough. And then a few or couple days for the solo legendary run, though was also doing other stuff in between.

Yeah, don't see how this campaign can be done in 4 hours unless one plays on easy and rushes through. Joe talking out of his ass again, even if he's right about most of the other things of the game.

And yep, Warzone is the shit. 👆

There is no such thing as a set in length of a game. I've seen people take over 10 hours to beat Halo 5 on normal with less than 30 deaths. Cry Baby Joe most likely did a casual playthrough of the game, didn't find any intel or skulls and didn't take his time. Halo 5 story to me is a game that you should take your time with simply because there's a lot of hidden goodies in the game and some bad ass set pieces

Also, Exuberant Witness is AWESOME

Thanks for that input, Phil.

Yep. As it is, I'd still have to say 5's campaign is up there with Halo 2 in overall length. Went through Halo 2 and more on the MC collection not long before 5 came out, so I have a fairly fresh memory of it all; which campaigns were short, which ones were longest.

Anyone who beat Halo 5 in 4 hours or less pretty much had to of done a quick casual runthrough without taking their time. Maybe Joe even skipped some cutscenes as well and just watched them through someone else's playthrough before he reviewed, though that might be stretching it a bit.

The campaign is very meh. It took me longer than 4 hours but I was doing it on heroic. Its hilarious how Joe didn't know split screen was removed lol

What did you think all about
Spoiler:
the change with Cortana
and stuff? (use spoilers for those who have yet to get the game and play the story)

Spoiler:
I doubt the direction taken with her now is something Bungie would've done, but I kinda like it. An AI who overcomes rampancy that in turn becomes more self-aware and wants to do its own thing. The psychological tactics she was trying to do to Chief which he saw through was still annoying though.

Oh, also, the legendary post-credits ending scene shows

Spoiler:
an active Halo ring while you hear her voice humming in the background... Shit's gonna get real next time.

I like the story. Granted I didn't give a single flying **** about Locke and fireteam Osiris, but I like the darker turn/grittier stuff.

Spoiler:
Seeing Halsey with just one arm is always shocking. Especially at her age and after everything she's been through. I saw Cortana turning a mile away. It has been foreshadowed many times during the Halo saga and even in Marathon. I like the personal touch/struggle Chief has with her. Its quite awesome. Especially how she is so obsessed with him and pretty much an overly attached girlfriend xD

Just got to my friend's house, I'm going to play through it on legendary.

'pinions pending.

I was thinking about getting an xbox one so I could play the halo games, but 3 missions as master chief... 😬 I'll wait for it to go down in price, dunno why Joe shat on Halo 4 which in my opinion was an amazing game.

Halo 4 was pretty good.
