While I generally love the gameplay of the campaign one thing that has bothered me from the get go is the jarring drop in the enemy frame rate when they are a certain distance away from you. Seeing their blocky and unnatural movements really destroys the immersion you usually feel in this game, especially if you are used to the fantastically rendered Master Chief Collection.
I understand that they only have so much computing power to work with but is there a good solution for fixing this problem or do we just have to suck it up?

It’s kind of upsetting that we’re already at the hardware’s absolute limits that things are being sacrificed to keep up with consumer demands for graphics. Right before the Xbone came out the 360 graphics seemed to endlessly expand. Look at Halo 3 vs. Halo 4. In some aspects, the detail is better in 4 than 5. Personally I agree with the 60fps priority. But I now understand why PC gamers are always throwing shade at consoles. We plateau…

“Join the dark side, we have 4K.”
Xbox One has yet to receive Directx12, so there may still be hope.

I get it too, but I’ve been gaming since 1989 on the Atari 2600, so in all honesty, I just have to remind myself what games used to look like. If I saw Halo 5 when I was a kid, my head would have exploded 50 times. Graphics aren’t everything.
I do really like 60fps, but I play Farcry 4 a lot, and it’s 30fps, and I think I’d rather have 30fps and enemies that moved smoothly than 60fps and enemies that moved like cheap stop-motion. But to be honest, I don’t really care all that much. I’ll still enjoy the game just the same.

I find it strange that you haven’t seen this. Maybe it’s because I tend to snipe pretty often. The enemies at that distance move like Mr. Game & Watch. Or maybe your system just runs better than mine for some crazy reason.
This happened a lot to me too. It was never a little spike, it was like a huge drop to 10 fps for a few seconds. The weird thing is whenever I used a vehicle in the game it all of a sudden got super smooth 60fps, but then fighting just a few enemies had huge jarring fps…weird.
