I played Halo 3 multiplayer for one day and understood it. It was Halo.

I played Halo Reach multiplayer for one day and understood it. It was Halo.

I played Halo 4 multiplayer for one day and understood it very clearly. It was not Halo. It was some bastardized, sorry excuse for a multiplayer game with "Halo" thrown on the box - an insult to the series. Even the campaign wasn't that great. Again, it didn't feel anything like Halo. Every other Halo game before it had felt like Halo with some changes and developments from the previous game. This was too different. It wasn't Halo.

Again, I played for the Chief's story. And I thought even that felt strange, rushed, and underdeveloped. I was thoroughly disappointed.

I will play Halo 5. But it will be for the Chief's story, and nothing more.
