Halo 5 campaign twice as long as Halo 4’s

4.6
Halo 5 is enormous, and that’s after 343 Industries reined in its ambitions.

Halo 5: Guardians is going to be bigger in every way – including the length of its story-drive campaign mode.

Speaking to Gamesradar at gamescom 2015, 343 Industires said Halo 5’s campaign is twice as long as Halo 4’s was, taking in visits to Human, Covenant and Forerunner locations.

It’s a little disconcerting to hear that the developer had originally planned for an even longer story mode, but scaled it back.

This is only the latest in a series of revelations about Halo 5’s tremendous size. For one thing, the whole campaign is played in a fireteam of four – either co-op buddies or AI companions – so environments are much larger than in previous Halo games with solo protagonists. For another, The new 12v12 Warzone multiplayer mode features the biggest map of the Halo series to date.

Pat has some concerns that the thirst for content has diluted Halo 5’s essence. I guess we’ll know for sure when Halo 5: Guardian’s launches exclusively for Xbox One on October 27.

Played all the campaigns thoroughly. They struck 3 head on with length and missions with things to be completed they lost their touch after that, wasn't completely disappointed with 4, but a longer is a mix up keeps me occupied.

Never really liked the 4th one so hopefully this is better

I'm getting halo 3 and 4 anyway so why not get this as well when it comes out

Halo Hopefully it's a lot more fun too, the H4 campaign was kind of boring.


Agree, too short in my opinion.

Hopefully its twice as good too, I couldnt stand to play more than one level at a time because it was such a boring drag.. I have faith though, I do.

I think it will be more fun to be honest and twice as long, thats just brilliant.
Plus i agree with you when you say H4 Campaign was boring, I found it a little boring too.

Campaigns should be long and immersive. Halo campaigns are always fun and now with Halo 5's campaign being longer, that will make the game have a bit of a longer lasting life.
