    Halo 5 had a lot of problems. Bit it’s a damned masterpiece compared to Infinite.

    Halo 5 had great gunplay, Warzone Firefight was a blast, the Guardians were a great stand-in for the Halo rings, Cortana was an intimidating enemy by the end of the game, the lootboxes were actually better than the armor cores and marketplace from Infinite.

    There are A LOT of negatives in there too. But a lot of positives. Infinite is just a shitshow from the beginning.

        It’s in a more or less acceptable state now and I play it, but it sure doesn’t live up to the original 10 year live service promise.

        I have a lot of problems with it. Between the “story” and the copy-paste map. I would rather the game didn’t exist, because at least then they could make a follow up to 5’s end.

        I really don’t want to spoil your fun if you’re enjoying it though. A lot of the gameplay elements are fun to play around with.

        I STRONGLY disagree. 5 was a letdown with some bright spots. Infinite is offensively bad with no redeeming value.

        Even if you remove Infinite, 5’s combat is better than 4’s in every single way. I would split second worst between those two depending on what aspects you’re comparing.

          I played Halo 5 Forge on PC no scratch the Halo itch when MCC wasnt even announced yet (I felt so cool for knowing that exists).
          If I could choose, I’d play Halo 5 Forge over Infinite. But I like the gadgets more than the booster feature.

          Infinite is good now with the netcode having been re worked. It has a few poor maps and bad choices regarding forge and split screen. Ut actually playing the game is fun in most cases.

          5’s combat is better than 4’s in every single way

          Halo 5 has ADS and Halo 4 does not. This alone makes Halo 5 combat worse.
