The plot was about as thick as a piece of paper, and the suprise was about as suprising as another Micheal bay transformers movie, and about as subtle as one. It felt like generic Sci fi shooter #37. You could just take the entire game, reskin it, and call it something else, and nobody would say "this is a halo rip off.". Halo 5 felt more like advanced warfare than halo. [spoiler]granted I liked parts of advanced warfare (mainly the movement), but still.[/spoiler]
