User blog comment:NeverToWalkAlone/Halo 5, thoughts?/@comment-2026417-20130614185825

After the disappointment of Halo 4, I dislike the idea of a fifth installment. I thought Halo 3 ended wonderfully, and they actually didn't need to continue the story. And Halo 4 also seemed to take way too many cues (mostly in controls and multiplayer) from CoD, which isn't good, since Halo was the codifier of the modern FPS (two weapons max and all that). I admire the idea of taking storytelling to another level and making the campaign very story-focused, but making the game a multiplayer-focused mediocre FPS isn't what I was looking for. That's something CoD can stick with. Plus, with all the backstory one has to slog through to understand what's going on in the series anymore, 343 has basically alienated new fans...

My question with this trailer, however, is why the heck someone in state-of-the art, self cooling, sealed powered armor need a cloak? Probably rule of cool, but...

Oh well, I won't be buying an Xbox One anyway, so unless it comes out on PC I won't be playing this sequel.
