I think the MP is okay, but it definitely doesn't feel like a Halo game, either in SP or MP.

343's handling of the franchise has been questionable, at best, ESPECIALLY as far as story is concerned. Bungie's Halo series was one of the few settings in a western-made game that I really cared about enough to read the books and comics and stuff as a kid, and I still love the aesthetics and art design in those games to death, but everything in 4 and 5 just kind of sucks and isn't cool or interesting and everything looks lame (everything about the Prometheans is stupid) It also doesn't help that they keep retconning everything from Bungie's games either.

The only story thing I liked in the 343 games is the concept behind the Infinity stuff in 4, with your MP character being an actual Spartan in the world with their own storyline in Spartan Ops and the MP matches being training sims--I really like games where you can have an actual character in MP. I was a little irked that they dumped it for 5. Everything else feels like fanfiction, though. I groaned out loud when they announced that the Forerunners were coming back.

I will give them credit for the new Forerunner guns which I like a lot. Their games are not as good as the Bungie games but I still play 5 a good bit and will buy 6 when it comes out.

Spartan Ops was the best thing in 4 by a long shot so of course it's not gonna be in 5.

Also it's been said a million times but it has to be said again and again: no splitscreen is unforgivable

my friends and i made up this game on that map with the crashed ship submerged in sand where it was 2 on 2 teams, and each team had a four wheeler and a rocket launcher. one player would drive and one player would stand on the back with the rocket launcher. then you raced in a circuit around the ship, and the first team to 3 laps, or the last team left standing was the winner.

343 killed off the ODST characters in a book so they could make Nathan Fillion a Spartan and kill off any hope of ODST 2 at the same time

this char is good
I wanted to play Halo so bad as a kid that I made friends with the weird kid so I could go to his house and play Halo. The one time I went we played splitscreen and he just used his knowledge of the spawns to keep getting into Banshees and killing me and laughing. That, along with Columbine (RIP), taught me that sometimes the weird kids should be put in a cell before they hurt people

there was an official game mode called mongoose wars or somethign that was exactly that and it owned.

we played a lot of that and the dodgeball modes, plus this one stupid CTF map i made that was a bunch of connected cargo containers with super weapons everywhere

that one was cool. i also liked the one where everyone was on a small square platform and gravity cannons launched random poo poo at you to dodge, with the last one standing getting a point. i think there was another where one player was in charge of tossing the garbage down to get flung at players
