So I’ve been seeing a lot of post of the years praising this game here and there and to me that makes no sense.
This game was a huge lie upon release and I guess some people have forgotten that? I’ve said my piece on why this game sucks as a Halo game in multiple forums and I’ve been met with 1, maybe 2 stalwart defenders of Halo 5 that will not shut up about it.
So instead of the stupid, “Why is Halo 5 awesome” posts, let’s throw some shade at this travesty shall we?
So you created a whole new thread to state your opinion that could have easily been stated in one the other “Halo 5 is the bad” threads on the forums? You haven’t even shared anything nuanced to why you feel Halo 5 sucks.

Because the point of the thread isn’t why I think it sucks. Why do you think it sucks?
Before I start I think the title is a bit misleading as I also thought you were going to explain why you didn’t like H5. Might want to better clarify that this is a call for others opinions in the main title.
Anyway, I think singular threads dedicated to " why H5 sucks" or “why H5 is awesome” are both a bit unfair and tribalistic. Sure, everyone is entitled to their opinion about the game, but in my own opinion I think there are sucky parts, and there are really cool parts to H5. To say the entire game sucked may be how you feel, but its undeniable that the game still has a solid player base after 5 years and 343 still consistently updates playlists to it. There is a good amount of people that still enjoy the game on a daily basis, which is not typically true with games that are universally panned. And to your first point – the only people who care about this game anymore are the people still posting in the H5 threads, so that is probably why you are seeing these “praise” threads. From my perception throughout the years, most of the community thinks H5 is the worst halo, so I am surprised you are seeing it differently on that front.
That being said, I enjoy the game still but absolutely see its faults… some of those faults being: Confusing and poor writing for campaign, too linear level design in campaign, lack of features on launch, misleading marketing, artstyle, REQ system.
What I enjoyed (and still do): fast paced multiplayer, weapons and their variants, unique playlists, sound design, and music composition.
^^^ both pros and cons are kind of off the top of my head.
The flaws of Halo 5 have had plenty of posts. If you can’t find any, you aren’t searching. I’ve been very vocal about my issues with the game, especially how it launched empty and the horrendous campaign. That is the past now, and in my opinion there is more discussion value in the improvements made over time than there is just restating the negative aspects that have been talked about since the game released
You need to read extra stuff to understand what happened between Halo 4 and Halo 5, something that is wrong because after all, it’s primarily a videogame.
