If you think Halo 5 is an upgrade wait until you try the Master Chief Collection. For the price of a Helmet in this game you can buy MCC on sale, and get about 5000% more content. Along with with MP that actually has plenty of maps, less hackers, and ability to mostly select what game mode you actually want to play. Only problem is few people playing it anymore so unbalanced matches.
My own personal taste
halo infinite < halo 5 < halo 5 beta
Beta had better lighting and faster Sprint. That’s all that was really better

weapons did more damage and shot faster… abilities where way stronger too and people where new to the game so overall the player base was more casual
the game was just way more fun also breakout was great until they changes everything about it
I was going to vote but I am not. I can’t approve of them retconning a sequel and (apparently) killing Cortana offscreen. That’s overkill. The cleanest way to get a clean slate would be a full reboot. Skipping a major chapter of the story and fridging a main character is not.
They are very different games:
-
Halo 5 is a big galaxy hopping adventure
-
Halo 5 has big galaxy changing events in it
-
Halo 5 has cameos and loads of characters from the expanded lore.
-
Cortana coming back as this AI Goddess taking over the galaxy was a fun idea and they were (have)blatantly going to have her turn good again. Logic Plague. Etc etc
-
You have two factions of enemies. More cinematic battles. More varied combat encounters.
-
Halo Infinite is the first chapter of a bigger story. I don’t know if the Endless are Precursors or Atriox is a pawn of Mendicant Bias or if it’s just squids with pew pew guns and he’s just another random Brute Chieftain. I don’t know enough to form an opinion.
-
Halo Infinite has vastly, vastly, better dialogue and in terms of putting you in the mindset of Chief grieving for Cortana is absolutely perfect. Honestly I thought I was being profiled it was that ridiculous. Like some crazy monkeys paw thing.
-
In terms of placing how the Chief/player is supposed to view Cortana. Remind you that she’s a good AI before telling you about the planetary destruction. Much better.
-
I was just amazed how much grand standing and talk there was from the villains. Ohhh, six Dreadnoughts, I am shaking over here. Like they boast about killing a few thousand humans, you the player kill more Banished in the campaign. I am not intimidated.
Fun-fact -
The original script of Halo CE was going to have Cortana become a rogue A.I. upon learning about the Forerunners and the story would shift with her in control of a Halo ring as a rouge A.I.
But the writers in Bungie scrapped this because having a rogue A.I. was a bit cliche and predictable.
even halo CE is an upgrade bc of a lack of desync

And to all the people constantly reacting with “thats_bait” on my truthful posts, aww, did your feelings get hurt? Because I will NOT apologize for liking Halo 5 in the first place, and either you respect that, or else, you’ve turned yourself into a pathetic failure at life.
for me Halo 5 is better than halo infinite in all the ways, except the art of the armors and the campaign narration
