-new game is inferior to previous game

Better off buying MCC instead, Infinite's campaign missions are good but they're bogged down by an open world that didn't really need to be a thing. Which seems to be a trend among AAA devs recently, trying to shoehorn open world into everything even when it serves to drag down the game's good parts.

Worse team making the games with none of the innovators of Bungie

>Is infinite worth playing for the campaign?
Yes, it's the best campaign 343 has ever made.

>Seems like a hard formula to fuck up.
and yet 343 have spectacularly 3 times, for wildly different reasons too!

Infinite is the laziest open world I have played in sometime, mind you I haven't played a Ubisoft game in years. What's most frustrating about Infinite is once you spend an hour in the open world you have already seen and done everything you will do for the rest of your playtime, hour 2 is the exact same as hour 12.

I enjoyed Halo 5 but it is impressive how they keep getting away with releasing unfinished products at full price.
5 had no split screen, a small playlist and no forge at launch and they did it again with Infinite.+ less overall content.
Giving the option to buy Infinite at full price is disingenuous and it feels like a scam.

Storm covenant was badly handled. Banished make more lore sense, even if I still don’t get how elites can bear being part of a brute led faction (innies probably joined them in the lore too but human enemies are a no no in the halo universe. No more human wars!).

>one game gets the gameplay and the story right while getting every other attribute incorrect
>other game gets everything right except for the gameplay and the story
cursed franchise?

I regret playing it

The Elites are getting paid good plus Atriox inspires them like Brutes same with Escharum.

both of them are hot trash

its another one of those "everything that was more interesting than what your playing has already happened" kind of games.
Drive around go into a forerunner building/banished outpost, blow up whatevers inside

Getting gameplay and story right matters the most with Halo, yeah, they didn't add the things they should have added at launch but I'm fine waiting on those features for a game with great gameplay and story over a game with shit gameplay, story, and everything else to go with it. I will now post heroic Chad Chief stance from Infinite.

Sounds better than Halo 5.

Cosmetics in halo is cancerous. Spartans should look like spartans.

It's a shame the armor designs were 90% shit since it was much more complete at launch than infinite other than BTB

i feel more or less the same way. but that's because i've adapted to the current state of the industry by never buying new games unless i'm 99% confident they're feature complete. shit like Halo, Call of Duty, Street Fighter, i don't buy that stuff anymore until about two years post-launch. anything with multiplayer releases at like 70% completion and has the other 30% of the content patched in over the next 700 days.

Halos 5 campaign actually felt like a campaign rather than shitty open world garbage
Why was there only one biome, no snow or desert area?
The actual levels in infinite were the same shitty forerunner corridor and the only level I had fun was the banished ship with the arenas
I enjoyed the spartan abilities more than I expected and they balanced sprint by having it stop the shield recharge
As for the cosmetics, you cant account for taste :/
Thanks for reading my blog

>Halos 5 campaign actually felt like a campaign rather than shitty open world garbage
lmao, try harder, reddit troon. Halo 5's campaign felt like Call of Duty, not Halo.
>I enjoyed the spartan abilities more than I expected and they balanced sprint by having it stop the shield recharge
You never liked Halo, go back to Titanfall.

incredibly based

Infinite made me appreciate 5s multiplayer which is very sad

As long as you don't appreciate Halo 5's campaign, that's fine.

this is how I felt when BF2042 came out. BF5 was so unfairly maligned it was unreal, and it would have gotten more DLC if people had given it a chance

I haven't played the previous games, but the MP in Infinite is just short of being genuinely good. It lacks many of the options I enjoyed in other games. Like why the fuck isn't there even dedicated servers and a server browser? Some of the armors are cool though.

Kill yourself you nigger faggot
Halo has always been a linear single player experience
Halo 5 fucked up with the lack of vehicle levels but vehicles felt like super shit in infinite

Halo has always been a linear campaign with an open sandbox, way to out yourself, reddit zoomer. Halo 5 is COD.

Need I go on, Halo 5 is terrible.

Not him but I thought Halo 5's campaign was fine but the story throwing away everything built up in Halo 4 was weird

you didnt see most of the armor in halo 5 because every cosmetic was locked behind a garbage lootpack system

Who fucking cares? It's the same fucking shit.

Don't know how, it's somehow worse than Halo 4 and just like Halo 4, there's very little freedom, it really does feel like a COD game, not Halo.

Christ you dumb fuck I wasnt praising Halo 5 like it was the pinnacle of the series
I was saying that despite all its flaws, it's still was better than infinite

>everything that was more interesting than what your playing has already happened" kind of games
I call that Yoko Taro syndrome

Not even close, that campaign was shit, universally shit, everyone hates it, fans hate it, normies hate it, journalists hate it, and it almost killed the series.

Can we get the female Spartan body type back? I know it's superfluous, but I liked their giant asses.

NO YOU CAN ONLY HAVE BODY TYPE A WHICH IS MASCULINE (but not necessarily male!) BODY TYPE B THAT IS ANDROGYNOUS AND BODY TYPE C THAT IS FEMININE (but not necessarily female!)

Yes, but it's not the one you implied.

>a far cry lite shits on an actual halo campaign
worst timeline

Do people really have nostalgia for Halo 5 now? I'm actually getting too old for this shit

When every game gets worse and worse, you get nostalgic for times when things were less bad.

Nah get MCC especially for Halo 2A if you've never played it

Halo 5 isn't a Halo campaign, zoomer tranny. It's clear that you never played a Halo campaign in your life.

It's just reddit invading again, ignore them.

Halo 5 is the last real Halo game with big set-pieces, varied environments with unique combat encounters to keep the campaign interesting from start to finish. Don't care that the story sucked, Halo stories have been total garbage since CE.
Halo is now another generic openworld game with repetitive side-missions, but that is okay because lolsoepic grappling hook

>I call that Yoko Taro syndrome
what? Taro's games everything relating to the plot/characters is in the game, none of the short stories meet the scale of the games proper.
>drakengard 1: everything that happens is caused by Caim and friends
>Replicant: Off screen apocalypse, which isn't a mystery, since the entire game is leading up to the death of humanity at your hands.
>Drakengard 3: End of game reveal about the nature of the flower recontextualising events thus far
>Automata: 9S is the main character, everything happens because of him.

>Halo 5 is the last real Halo game with big set-pieces
If they're there to just look pretty then they have no reason to be there.
>varied environments with unique combat encounters to keep the campaign interesting from start to finish
Half the damn game is some glassed planet, some desert planet with a shitty haze, and some Tallon IV ripoff planet with too much bloom lighting blinding your eyes and repeated Warden fights.
>Don't care that the story sucked, Halo stories have been total garbage since CE.
Halo CE was about the gameplay while the story was simple, CODfag, Halo 5 wanted you to give a shit about the story it was trying and failing to tell and it was pure shit just like the trash heap that was the gameplay as well.
>Halo is now another generic openworld game with repetitive side-missions, but that is okay because lolsoepic grappling hook
I'll take that over it being a repetitive COD games where orange bionicles keep getting shitted out of the games ass who are also uninteresting to fight along with the rest of the enemies that have homing weapons and forces you to spend 90% of the levels behind a wall while you're force to constantly switch to the shitty floating weapons due to no ammo.

I think that's still the ugliest helmet they've made.

At this point Halo is just a money laundering gig.

Yeah I didn't find the character drama of Automata interesting. I just wanted the aliens and they just shafted them.

The time it took 343 to make Infinite, is the time it took Bungie to make CE, 2 and most of 3 and Infinite has less content than CE.

Halo CE began development in 1999

You forgot Halo PC having a server browser at launch and HEK/Custom Edition

I played 21 hours of Infinite PVP, was hopeful for a couple weekends. It's uninstalled now.

Except in 1999 they was making a RTS, then changed their mind to make it a 3rd person shooter, eventually they settled on 1st person shooter. It was the first game to be made that became a franchise. When 343 made Infinite they knew it would be a 1st person shooter out the door. They knew all the old favourite gamemodes people like to play to copy paste something already made. They could have easily tried to recreate the same old favourite maps plus put in some new ones, they didn't do fuck. Bungie already layed down the foundation and 343 still couldn't be fucked.
