It is well known that majority of the halo fanbase dislike 343i. Nothing is going to stop hateful feelings from being felt, however most outspoken "haters" do not provide evidence for disliking the 343i. I ask the question "do you like 343i, why or why not" because blunt hatred is not going to help accomplish anything. Personally I dislike how the story is being told, and the need to get information from external resources other then the halo game series. In my opinion the way the story is presented appears to be lack luster. With little to no replay ability with the campaign (story mode) I find I miss parts of the story, and I don't want to replay the same generic missions multiple times over. With cutscenes not presenting and key points and ultimately seeming detached from the gameplay ruins the immersion. [spoiler]when chief and blue team are let out of the cryptum and seem all chummy with fire team Osiris the cliffhanger is not justified. Blue team has no reason to trust that they will not be "taken in" and that curtana can not be reasoned with, when the second best fire team hot on her heals[/spoiler] Along with the lack luster gameplay and unjustified... Well it's in the spoiler, I had no idea who blue team was and who fire team Osiris was made up of. After fully playing through halo 5 guardians I went out and had to buy 10 (ten) comic books and watch 3 (three) movies/animated cartoons to find out who every character was. I personally try to avoid any and all info of a game before I purchase it so everything is experienced to its fullest. Since I avoid info and had never read external content apart from that is accessed in game (through terminals) I was completely lost. While I disliked the story telling and the lack of in game explanation, 343i did an outstanding job with the online experience. I throughly enjoy playing online and not being forced to wait in 20 (twenty) minuet lobbies. I enjoy the option to purchase the REQ (requisition) packs or use in game currency to obtain them. Overall I believe that 343i is taking precautions with the online gameplay but should be doing the same with the single player experience. So I ask one last time "do you like 343i, why or why not?" Wether you do or don't I hope you enjoy whatever games you wish to play. DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible for poor punctuation and any misspelled or misused words.
