Halo 5 campaign is bad? (spoilers!)
I was quite optimistic about the campaign, things look good and I enjoyed playing as Locke. But in the end it was about Master Chief finding Cortana, at least that's what is important to me. Unfortunately that turned into something bad, something weird even that I don't like and it just feels wrong in the Halo series. I know that some people do like the Halo 5 campaign but there are also others that don't like it, so is the Halo 5 campaign bad or is it just not what you expected? Let me warn you one last time, there are spoilers below and if you haven't played the campaign or finished the campaign then I would advice you to stop reading!
Too much Locke?
Let me first say that I like Spartan Locke, he's pretty cool and the Osiris team is also a fun team. To be honest I think there's more fun in the Osiris team than in the Blue team. But I expected things to be more even, as in half the game you play as Locke and the other half you play as Master Chief. Unfortunately that's not how it is, you play 2/3 of the game as Locke and 1/3 as Master Chief. I don't like that and it comes at the cost of seeing what really happened with Cortana and the communication between Cortana and Master Chief.
Cortana is evil?
During a few conversations with Cortana you get the feeling that something is wrong, sure you can hear that it's her but somehow you get the idea that something is different. That becomes more clear the further you get in the story and figure out that she's up to no good. I personally don't like this at all, sure it's an interesting twist but not one I was looking for. I was hoping I would find Cortana again and that together we would fight against a new threat. I don't like to see Cortana as the villain, it just feels wrong and it kind of ruins the experience of spending all that time with her in the other Halo games. At first I was hoping it was just a misunderstanding but it becomes quite clear that she's bad, especially after the legendary ending when you get a hint that Cortana might be up to something really bad.
Is the campaign bad?
I guess my biggest problem is that I had different expectations, I didn't see this coming and I still have to accept that this is how it is. That makes the campaign bad in my opinion, this unexpected twist that I'm not happy with. Maybe some people like it, others have learned to accept it and then there are those that might not even care. For me it's difficult to accept this game and the course they've taken in the Halo series, but maybe it just takes time and eventually it will be better for me. But right now I'm just hoping that Halo 6 will clear things up and that you can still save Cortana, I really hope you can...
