Why ‘Halo 5: Guardians’ Ending Was So Controversial

Halo 5 has been out for almost a week now, and while the multiplayer has been earning pretty universal praise for the new “Warzone” mode, the campaign has been a little more divisive. On one hand, it hits its marks: we’ve got some giant, pseudo-mythic sci-fi set pieces, and we’ve got some open battlefields stacked with tactical challenges. The actual narrative is a different story. We were promised a major rivalry between Master Chief and Spartan Locke, but the various faceoffs we saw in marketing materials never really occur. The characters are thin, and the larger arcs start to swing into the endlessly complicated lore that the series has struggled with for years. But the ending is what’s irked people the most, or, rather, the lack of one.
