Were those extremely boring to you?

Because those were all the same. Can't be serious....

Look at your description. You basically described most campaigns in any game even outside of halo. So instead of saying "go to A, kill B, go back to A, reactivate C" actually give us details in why it was boring.

In Halo ce
Go to point A
Kill enemies on the way
Go to point B
Kill enemies on the way
Activate C
Go back to Point B
mission over
yay so much fun..

See how that worked?


The difference is that CE had a truly interesting plot

I agree with that, the OP should have stated things like that.. How the plot wasn't good, how the missions were to slow, how you didn't feel connected with the character etc.. Instead of giving the most generic explanation is to why it was horrible.

yeah, like i stated before, almost ever war game has that same outline. what defines the game is the gameplay and most of all the storyline for sure.

When you think about it, all previous Halo's were like that, hell, most shooters are like that.

Thing is, in previous Halo's we had more freedom and better story telling in the campaigns.

And better characters, better music, better side-plots (Sadie's Story/Terminals), better art design, better aesthetics etc.

Remember a system called "Highest Skill"? Remember when one or two people had camo and not the whole team? Remember everyone had to climb up to the top of the map, NOT FLY? Remember when nobody could run faster than the other? Remember when you couldn't stall your own death? Remember when there was a variety of maps? Remember when we set our OWN challenges for fun, not by Bungie for credits? Remember when "General" meant something? Remember Halo...3? Forget Reach.

Bloom made the campaign boring....

Actually, I wasn't that serious, so it can count as sarcasm.

Spamming still gets you nice multikills with the bigass hitboxes that those covies have.

In other words, bloom doesn't affect the campaign experience that much.

Two movies you should watch: Fight Club and Pineapple Express

"Wait. What do you mean, it's dead?"
"If marijuana is not legal within the next five years I have no faith left in humanity, period. Everyone likes smoking weed. They have for thousands of years. They're not going to stop anytime soon. You know? It makes everything better. Makes food taste better, makes music better. It makes sex feel better for God's sake. It makes -blam!- movies better you know?"

The campaign was too short imo. They could've done way more than what they did. The only thing I really hate about Reach is, surprise, armor lock.

For the game play I thought it was really fun but my favorite is Halo 2.
