In what Bizarro universe is H5 better than ANY other Halo? Even with its issues Infinite is ten times better.
The aesthetics of Infinite and abilities equipment as on map pickups are about the only thing I can give the game credit for as being superior to Halo 5 otherwise both of these games are very flawed.
Outside of those two things mentioned Infinite is not a measurable improvement over Halo 5 and in some respects is a noticeable downgrade. At least in Halo 5 most weapons had snappy minimum TTK’s and precision weapons generally shot straight. AR/Magnum in Halo 5 was vastly superior to AR/Sidekick both pre and post patch. Halo 5 weapons weren’t limited by pads and lockers, nor did it have random vehicle or weapon spawns. Customization/progression is somehow even worse and the game is on track to be even more barren in terms of content than Halo 5 and is on track to stay that way for longer.
With Infinite, Bloom has returned with a vengeance with added recoil. Otherwise the aiming is still goofy(how this is possible when they have MCC modern aiming to reference I don’t understand), maps are still bad, the aim assist is way to high, vehicles still suck.
Where is this “great core” that people claim exists? Because I don’t see it.
I disagree. The ability to outplay an opponent on 5 was high. Infinite feels like flashlight tag to me where whomever sees the opponent first gets the kill. A lot of times, even with the death cam, I have no idea how I died as I barely had time to acknowledge I was being shot at, let alone hit.
