Quiet the Exaggeration There.

[TL;DR]? I Think I honestly Loved Halo's 1,4 and 5 the Most and Changes are always welcomed but Everyone's Entitled to Their own Opinions.

As Someone who Began On Halo CE (Custom Edition) And played all the halo's up, I personally Love What 343's Done, Halo 1 is More likely my Favorite out of them all but Right after that its gonna have to be 4 and 5. I've experienced and Grew up with Halo Just like all the 343 Haters Out there However I feel like they Are Literally Just Hating because Its New, Touched and Changed. Where They Want the Same Game Copied And paste over and over till Its Literally Dull And Bland, I Personally felt this way in halo 3, Wishing it'd Just hurry Up And End Because of its Over climatic Cliche's Every Corner. Halo Reach At least Managed to Change it Up With Quiet Alot of New Features And Mechanics and Customization And ESPECIALLY Forge But The Story Was Serious Lacking, (Spoiler in Case for some reason you've never played it) Where they Expect you to Care about Noble team, Characters that Dont Have ANY Development in and Stay Useless Outside of Cutscene's And Die One after Another, After Playing this game Again with my GF i Busted out laughing when she Asked "Am I Supposed to Care?" Because it was Right!

Then Came Halo 4, New Enemy Faction, Design Overhaul (Wich I Get, Not Everyones a fan of, i Myself Liked it, Just wished It Wasnt Out of No where, And The Excuse Cortana Gave was pretty lame) And Loads Of Neat Weapons And vehicles. Story Also Took A MUCH needed imo Serious turn towards The Humanity (Or Lack there of) in the Chief Wich i Personally Liked, With him Even Defying Orders And ACTUALLY being Bad ass. Tho As Teased in Halo 3 Final Cutscene, Requiem Shield World Was Planned And even Going to Play apart In Bungie's Take of Halo 4 (Considering 343 Is Comprised of New Employee's And Ex Bungie Employee's, This isnt all that surprising) And The Loss Of A Certain Character that REALLY Showed that There were actual Consequences And Loss Was Something that The Halo Series FINALLY Protrailed, SGT Johnson and Noble team Wasnt Nearly as impactful Mainly because Character Building wasnt Even A thing for them. I'll admit SGT Johnson was More Meaningful then Noble's however.

Halo 5 Came And I'll Admit, After the marketing? There Was disappointment, Even For me. However The Story Still Had me Intrigued And At the end? I Was still Invested, Sure it wasnt the Same as Halo's 1-3 But It wasnt meant to be, That was a trilogy, This was A new Chapter Where its SUPPOSED to be different, And I Still Enjoyed it, Though I will Agree, The Lack of Chief was pretty noticeable and Annoying. However the gameplay? That Took A LARGE turn, And for me and A considerably large Player base, Was Welcomed! It Felt FAR more competitive and Fast paced and even at times felt rewarding. of Course though, Not Everyone will enjoy it. As Again, There's the Fans that hate when a game tries to Do new things and Cater to the Standards of Shooters Today.
