    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.

      Them just retconning Cortana was such a letdown. Honestly while 5 wasn’t great, it did set up infinite to be really really good. Then they went with a really boring alternative.

        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.
