#HALO REDDIT I JUST PLAYED HALO ODST BETTER KINSLER SERIES#
As such, Halo 5: Guardians easily stands as the worst in the series and makes me somewhat nervous about Infinite's prospects later this year. There are some redeeming aspects of Halo 5, but those mainly are present in the game's multiplayer offering, which, as I said, isn't being taken into account here. Plus, I cannot begin to express how lame it is to have to fight one boss nearly ten different times over the course of the game. Since the game is more focused on fighting as a team, 343 littered the environments with way more enemies than in past entries, leading to me and my companions being downed in this installment way more than any other Halo campaign. Then there's also the fact that the squad-based gameplay that 343 tried to lean into with this entry just doesn't work well at all. Most notably to a lot of fans, myself included, playing as Locke and Osiris Team for 80% of the campaign isn't as fun as it is to play as Master Chief. Instead, it's a death by a thousand cuts situation. This game has a high replay value, and is a must-get for anyone who wants a game where they can take time to explore and relish details of a larger story.Overall, there isn't one major thing I can point to in Halo 5 that makes it a lesser experience than every other entry. The game is challenging and immensely fun. At first I had a hard time actually liking the characters, but as the game continued on I felt like i fit in among them, and I felt for them and connected to them. The story is very interesting, and enjoyable. I think more people would have appreciated the game more than way, especially with how the plot progresses and then ends. The stakes seem higher, and I almost wish this game would have been called Halo: ODST so it could have been a $30 tie-in special release in between Halo 2 and Halo 3. You can explore the city and uncover interesting side-stories from a civilian perspective of the attack, and you experience -block-tp-block fighting against occupying covenant forces. You can see Covenant ships hovering nearby and laying waste, you see human soldiers scrambling in guerrilla warfare against alien invaders. You dwell among the dark, dead ruins of one of earth's greatest cities: New Mombassa. The Human-Covenant War takes a heavier toll as you literally feel and experience the War from a purely human perspective. ODST takes a mysterious, suspenseful approach in a fantastic tale on how ODST struggle to save Humanity from the invasion of the Covenant. Instead of vast, galactic battles with epic proportions, ODST tells the small-scale story about the lives of brave and honorable men and women who would have otherwise been considered insignificant. ODST slows down the fast pace of Halo story telling to focus, in detail, on the episodic encounters of surviving members of an ODST unit. The story-telling is vastly different, but once you get used to it only then can you appreciate it. The cut-scenes have a more cartoon-like feel to them, and the game is amuchdarker in tones.

The art style and color palette are totally different from Halo 3. For those expecting the standard, stellar Halo-style experience they will be somewhat disappointed. For Halo 3: ODST should have never been an "expansion" and should have just been a game on it's own. Halo 3: ODST should have never been an "expansion" and should have just been a game on it's own.
