I was enthralled with the story for halo 1-reach but 4 was dumb and i expect 5 to be dumb. I am buying this game for the multiplayer and gameplay of the single player.
I think 343's handling of the halo story has been childish and too self serious for its own good.
The trailers and live action stuff for this one have already been stupid.

I would never spoil a game for someone regardless of how invested I was in the story, that would be a dick move no matter what my opinion of the game story is.

If you think Halo has a bad story your opinion is not only wrong but it's laughable.
Even if you based it off of the games themselves the story is better than a very vast majority (maybe even all) first person shooters.
Add in the expanded lore and it's one of the most deep video game universes ever.

The Halo story spans much further than just the games. Believe it or not the universe is filled with rich backstories and intriguing plotlines. Grab a book and give it a read before you label it mediocre.
My man. Great idea; never thought of that. Thanks!
A post expressing an opinion and yet spoiling nothing...
Anyway, I guess I am done with this thread. I genuinely hope you all enjoy Halo 5. I do enjoy the Halo games, but not for the story.

Play all the games, Read the books, do some research on the lore. Top quality HBO stuff here.
What..? Childish and stupid can you explain how?
You'd just de-Internet it until launch. Unless you're some sort of moron.
They have in the past. So yes, they could do something.

GIVE ME THE LEAKS WHERE ARE THE LEAKS I WANT THEM NOW

Halo 3 was an insult to the characters of the trilogy, including Miranda, Truth, the Gravemind, and even Cortana.

And screenshot & game clips won't be uploaded to gamedvr servers until the day of release but there is a thing called capture cards.
I didn't at first, then I got way into it with Halo 2, but after years of stories going nowhere until the whole thing imploded with Halo 4, I only want to play this one to butt stomp some dudes in outer space. I don't even expect the shooty parts to be good again, I just want to drop it like it's hot ("it" being, obviously, my butt... on some space dude's face).
Gold means that the game is finished and has passed cert. In the past, this had to be done before mass production was started. In today's world, that's not necessarily the case due the availability of patches in the ecosystem.
It can. I have no idea if that is the case with Halo 5 or not, but it is possible for there to be an unfinished (but "passed cert") game on a disc that more or less requires a day one patch to be complete.
No one will block access to the disc itself. That would be PR suicide.
What MS can do is block online access and take down any pre-release stream.

Ready to hop on this. Final prediction: Guy on cover looking at Master Chief is a body double.
I mean 343 killing Sgt. Johnson was an assault on good storytelling so I kinda see where he is coming from.
Well that was Bungie. It was definitely a mistake though. He'd make an amazing SIV alongside chief.
They've certainly done their homework if it is fake:

But I reckon it's legit.

Johnson was already a Spartan 1, though.
I am an avid reader and I enjoy good science fiction. I have zero interest in reading the novelization of a video game, simply because I would assume that it would be terrible.
I assume there are people that really enjoy Halo novels, because I understand not everyone shares my taste in fiction. I'm completely fine with that.
Fair enough, the novels are hit and miss but some of them are definitely quality.
What was a Spartan 1 anyway?
I'm not saying your opinion is invalid, but the way you handled this whole thing is a mess. First you go "Who gives a fuck about the story?" and then "But yeah, I understand why people would be pissed." If you can understand the latter, why would you make the former comment in this thread, which was made to inform people of possible leaks.
Halo is a pretty cool guy.

This sounds slightly patronizing. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction and horror genres and I still appreciate the Halo novels. Whether or not the writing itself is award worthy is irrelevant. The universe is filled with interesting stories and the books do a great job at fleshing out the lore.

Hopefully the embargo will be a bit earlier than the 27th. It's always fun to watch the video reviews a few days before the game comes out.
