Got my Xbox Elite Controller and Halo 5 today - I know, it's about time.

Played through first mission of Halo 5. Will reserve comment until I play through at least a few more.

Some very cool aspects of #Halo5 are offset by decisions on which I find tough to comment constructively.

Halo 5 suddenly got beautiful around mission 7-8. Curious how this will change going on to the end.

Finished Halo 5. I think I need a PhD in obscure super-fan lore in order to really understand what just happened in that story.

That said, Halo 5 does boast some impressive production quality. I enjoyed the latter half of the campaign.

I already knew that the Halo 5 Locke vs Chief tease was a total bust, but was even more let down with how it played out in the campaign.

On the positive, Halo 5 cinematic character faces, acting and cinematography were amazingly done. Hats off to 343 for kicking ass.

Halo 5 broke the cardinal rule in cinematics that the main character(s) should never perform actions that rob the player of the experience.

Many of the coolest action sequences took place in the cinematics rather than through my own gameplay experiences.

Very interesting to hear feedback on Halo 5 from a classic Halo developer. But it's not all good.

At the ER with my wife. Please send some good thoughts.
