I played it a lot the first 8-9 days I had it, then I just kind of put it aside and I really haven't gone back to it. The Gameplay is phenomenal in the game, but the story is very forgettable(I don't want to call it bad because I love Halo). They built up so much with the story In Halo 4 and the expanded universe before Halo 5 and its just like all that build up went nowhere. 343 has a problem with writing interesting characters, mostly just writing in general and hopefully Brian Reed doesn't write Halo 6. I would love for them to get Joseph Staten back on as a writer and give Halo that whole Space Odyssey feel again.
I just don't think Microsoft has the right people in charge at 343, their all very corporate yes men/women and the community isn't even fun to be a part of like it was with Bungie. When there were problems with Halo when Bungie ran it, they would respond to the community and be active. It feels like 343 completely ignores everyone and is trying to make Halo this FPS series that Halo fans don't want. They need to stop worrying about sales so much and bring the magic back that Bungie Halo games had.
