Andy's been playingplaying Halo 5 at Gamescomand has some interesting takes on the new style of gameplay - faster action and more tradition guns, for example. One thing that stood out though was mention that Halo 5's campaign is twice as long as Halo 4, a game that wasn't exactly an afternoon's diversion.
You can find out more in the video which I lifted from Andy's feature. According to what he was told at Gamescomit's supposed to betwiceas long as thecampaignin Halo 4 (which he points out was "was quite a long campaign"). He was also told that things actually started bigger and were cut back. The suspected reason for the length, he feels, is partly due to the game spending time in all three of theHuman, Covenant and Forerunner worlds. Watch the video for that and some other facts.
