Halo 5 has better looking cosmetics, better game quality, better matchmaking, better hit marks, I swear to God if I get shot behind another wall again I’m gonna delete this game on the Halo Infinite xbox console and download other titles! What a shame! 343 fix the issues already!

Hard to argue. I don’t know why Halo5 gets so much hate…it was a much better game for the players than this half broken unfinished turd. Hopefully all the issues will get addressed but the core business model is unlikely to change…and that’s a big part of the problem.

This game is a cool tech demo. But calling it a game is offensive. As much as I don’t like h5 I have to agree at least it is an actual complete game, and on launch it was missing some big features but still somehow was better than this

Halo 5 released about as bare bones as infinite. It became a great game over time. Infinites been out a month. Everyone needs to relax

May be my memory is fading as I get older but I don’t remember Halo5 being as bare bones incomplete or broken as Halo Infinite. I remember the lag and latency issues were unbearable at times, and maps were introduced over time, but I don’t recall it being as incomplete as this…and it didn’t have a horribly shameful monetised business model that prevented players customising their Spartans and IDs. May my memory is just remembering all the good times I had playing it day in day out for months on end.

the problem is that Halo infinite beta was the same (or betterbecause btb is not working) that the current game

Halo 5 launched with no forge, a broken theater no campaign scoring, an awful campaign after an ad campaign that was almost completely a lie, no infection, no BTB, like 10 maps total, and a loot box RNG reward system from hell that everyone at the time rightly hated. And a new game mode (warzone) that was pay to win. The halo 5 launch was just about as bad if not worse than infinite. In 7-10 years when the next halo game releases ppl will be saying the same thing you are about halo 5 for halo infinite

I opened up Halo5 last week when I set up my XSX…I miss my Helioskrill armour with Achilles helmet decked out in black with gold trim aggressively wielding his sword like he’s going to shred and make confetti out of all the other inferior Spartans. I doubt I’ll get that feeling any time soon on Halo Infinite.

don’t get me wrong, H5 is NOT a proper halo game… that being said, it is a fun game. and currently, better than infinite

Lolno. Halo 5 was a vastly more complete product than Infinite.
-
Forge came only two months after launch, not nine and it’s the most detailed map editor we’ve had yet.
-
Custom games functioned perfectly fine on day one.
-
Co-op campaign was available day one
-
All armor could be unlocked without paying a cent for req packs
-
You we’re rewarded for winning and or performing well during a match
I still regard Halo 5 as the worst of the franchise but there’s no denying that you weren’t scammed out of your $60 in 2015

Halo 5 had less bugs and more content than infinite, but the gameplay was total garbage, no wonder so many people abandoned halo back then

I wouldn’t go that far. It seems most are forgetting how H5 was on launch. H5 wasn’t a complete Halo game untill the first BTB refresh IMO. Not saying Infinite doesn’t need some work. But trying to compare the initial product of Infinite to the final product of H5 isn’t a fair comparison. It’s not like H5 shined super bright when it first released.

Halo 5 launch was just slightly better than infinite and was still missing loads of features. I’m just getting tired of peoples amnesia about it.

I honestly tried to go back to Halo 5 to get some footage and the game hurt my eyes. The combination of the glossy art-style along with a low FOV really made hard to look at the screen. So I punished my kids and had them play.

Sorry this is a bad take. Halo 5 was cartoonish looking, the game launched with no social modes, no btb, no fiesta modes, no forge, a broken theater, and had a warzone mode that was diet battlefield with those awful req packs. Also, I don’t think Titanfall was that great (sorry, not sorry) so I was disappointed when 343 went with advanced movement. That game died as fast as it did for a very good reason.
Halo Infinite does have a good gameplay loop and the art style is more in line with what we expect from Halo. It needs a ton of work, but compared to Halo 5 on launch, Infinite has way more potential.

I mean at least in Halo 5 we got 60 default colors for free.
Now in Halo Infinite they are trying to sell you 50 of those colors.
But hey who is excited to have the grand opportunity to buy the color Blue… In the next weekly bundle.
Well basic blue. But dont worry they will make sure to lock that blue to one Armor core, so you can have an even more exciting expereince to have a second opportunity to purchase the same color blue again but for a different Armor Core…
Exciting

Why H5 was better:
It had Co op campaign
It didnt crash
It wasnt crossplay
It wasnt f2p and relied on microtransactions
Had a great progression to 152
Had a good ranking system
Shots registered
Had more maps
Had more playlists
The list goes on. Its sad 343 didnt use H4, H5, and MCC to make the ultimate Halo game.
