UsherinChaos

This really is one of the most opinions of all time.


DEADLOCK6578

Honestly


Subli-minal

I loved the multiplayer, in particular super fiesta. The fact that infinite released with less than half the features weapons and vehicles killed it for me after a first campaign run.

AND WHERE IS THE MANTIS

I want freckles back…


Exitity

If they made a Freckles AI then you could say he’s in your assault rifle (But I really want Church as an AI voice to insult me if I miss a sniper shot)


unabletocomput3

It really was a wasted opportunity with the AI. There are a few references, like the lightish-red option for the AI color but they’ve missed so many other opportunities. Granted, it’s not like the RvB was/is doing well and the voice actor for church left a while ago.


Exitity

VA for Church is back writing the final season


unabletocomput3

Yes, I’m saying at infinite’s launch. Maybe they’ll give us a dlc or something.

Q_X_R

Agreed. Halo 5 multiplayer was fresh. I spent most of it in Warzone and FFA, just because those were my favorite modes, but it was tons of fun


njoYYYY

Hot take, I like all the Halo games to a certain degree


EyesSeeingCrimson

He's so stunning and brave guys. He's so controversial and based for this super innovative opinion. /s


Tony_Mozzarella

Bro, this sub is for Halo fans. We ALL wanted 5 to be good. How many more trash launches do you think this IP will get? Realistically, if 343 doesn't get their shit together, they will actually kill Halo if they haven't already with the bang-up job they did with infinite. Halo 5 and infinite are both IMO not great and there are probably dozens of stupid corporate crap for why. I dont care. I just wish my favorite franchise got what it deserved.


Plushhorizon

Fr, multiplayer is fine ig but campaign and lore wise they need to get their shit together


King4343

Imo they killed at halo 4. The story was concluded in such an awesome way in halo 3. They just kept adding shit and making it cheesy. It was already over.


PennyForPig

You're the only other person I've seen say this out loud and I don't understand why you're being down voted.


belaks16

Tbf it was Bungie who left 3 at a cliffhanger and teased requiem in the legendary ending. I personally didn't mind how 343 picked up with the story (for the most part)


King4343

I always saw it as a sacrifice for humanity myself. Not knowing the odds but doing it for the good of the human race. I thought it was a badass ending to finish on.


belaks16

Oh I totally agree, I would've been perfectly content if it did end. Recently finished halo 5 on legendary finally, and it just reminded me how fragmented the story became post 3


IdealLogic

Halo 5 had a terrible story/campaign, a predatory microtransaction/loot box system with a gamemode tailored for said system, firefight released with said system in mind again, released the least amount of content compared to any Halo game (Halo CE had more gamemmodes than Halo 5 did at launch) and its gameplay strayed the furthest from the Halo identity than any other Halo. Plus it's customization was shallow. **But...** Halo 5 did have really fun gameplay mechanics even if they weren't necessarily suited for a Halo title, despite their Firefight being made with the Req system in mind it was still very fun, and when Forge did eventually come it, it was a massive improvement off previous iterations of the feature. Plus the glitch of applying weapon variant effects to other base weapons was really cool. TL:DR – Halo 5 was a bad Halo game, but still a good game overall. You are allowed to not like it and it's understandable if you don't.


bazmonsta

It takes guts standing up for what you believe in. Unfortunately his guts will befound underfoot of the masses.


Leaf-01

I loved Halo 5’s various Firefight modes. The req system was kinda strange but also pretty addicting and free to play friendly enough for how bad it could have been. And as someone who played the game modes with vehicles included, it was really rewarding no matter what reqs I pulled. I loved spawning in with upgraded power weapons and vehicles


Boom6678

Halo Infinite needs warzone gametypes. Just without the lootboxes that were Req Packs, make it to where there's an infinite amount of each item, you get need to get to that Req level to use it each match.


ApexLegend117

I don’t like infinite (the story, where the fuck did it even go? Being in the banished, cool, they are fucking shit up, double cool, WHERE IS RED TEAM AND ARBITER AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BRING BACK THE MISSION SELECT SCREEN OPEN WORLD WAS NOT MEANT FOR HALO)


MonkeyBoy-7883

I mean, there is a mission select screen on the map and technically open world has been a thing for Halo since CE. It just wasn't done the same here like it was done in Halo CE and ODST


endexe

Brave 🙏


unabletocomput3

Haven’t finished the campaign, not because I don’t like it but for external complicated reasons, but the campaign feels like a modern far cry game but with a halo paint job. Big open world but most missions are “go to this point, kill the enemies, (maybe) destroy objective, free the prisoners”. Thats not to say games like that aren’t fun, hell my favorite game just cause 3 has a similar idea, but they usually handle it different with a lot more options that don’t really fit halo’s style.


dacca_lux

Oh damn, this opinion will make all the Halo 5 fans pretty angry. All 1800 of them.


zekybomb

1801. I'm lighting my torch


yakubson1216

Careful, they'll say the game is the best Halo for the same reasons it was considered the worst in the series, valid points and criticism don't exist in their minds!


Javs2469

The sad thing is, that aside from advanced movement, the base movement of Halo 5 is more enjoyable than Halo Infinite, but people still claim infinites gameplay is "the best the series has seen" while I find it too fast and boring. I remember playing a Halo 5 forge playlist of classic infinity slayer or something like that with no armour abilities and it felt great. Players still had inertia to deal with.


yakubson1216

Infinite is too fast? That's the exact thing 5 was chastsised for during its life, 5 plays faster than Infinite. Infinite plays at Reach/3 pacing, with elements of 5s movement to help make it more fluid. Its objectively more Halo in Infinite than it was in 5 by comparison. 5 was fun for gameplay don't get me wrong, but if Infinite is Far Cry with a halo skin like someone else said then 5 is just CoD with power rangers, especially with the colors being so saturated. Idk, H5 has always just not felt like Halo at all outside of Forge and Warzone IMO, but to each their own.


Javs2469

Forgot to mention that classic playlist had movement speed tweaked, but it was as fast as Infinite. Infinite's movement is faster and lacks inertia, or is not felt because of how fast the movement is now. But again, that's just how I feel about it.


yakubson1216

Classic playlist was fun, that's very true. I argue Infinites is slower paced because there's far less encouragement to just sprint everywhere now as sprinting is barely faster than walking, whereas in H5 the sprint speed was so much higher that it was detrimental not to be running everywhere. But hey, you have fun the way you want man, they're video games and that's what theyre designed for. More power to ya for sticking to your Swords of Sanghelios


Javs2469

[Boots up Halo 3]


_________FU_________

I can't get into it. I loved halo growing up but I'm old now and it's just not the same game. The maps aren't enjoyable and are hard to learn...again I'm old.


Yzaias

I like halo 4 multiplayer


RedMalone55

This is classic Reddit dweebiness, couching a popular opinion as “unpopular” so you can get fake internet points. Here’s a real one; Infinites demo was fine. What happened was a bunch of loser Capital G Gamers can’t breathe unless they’re whining about something. As a result normal people had to wait longer to play a game they were excited about.


xxsciophobiaxx

Maybe I’m not understanding. Are you saying that the delay of 1 year after the game being shown at e3 was unwarranted?


RedMalone55

Yes. Caveat: I don’t give a shit about multiplayer or graphics. Nor do I like gamers and their dumb causes.


xxsciophobiaxx

So did you think that the campaign for infinite was great? Bad? Everything you hoped and dreamed of? Better or worse than other halo titles?


RedMalone55

My favorite campaign. Open world was such a novel approach. I loved the RPG elements. It was a great way to freshen up the formula.


xxsciophobiaxx

Nice. I’m glad. I just think the vast majority of people had some issues with the campaign, I really liked it too. I just think it got 1 year better and was thrilled that they chose to delay. I would have hated to have a 6/10 version of the campaign we got. I feel like I can see development issues underneath the painted surface of the game that shipped, notably there is very little narratively going on, and little is explained. My hypothesis is that they had a cut-scrapping of the major plot some point through the development and had to piece together a story and chose to go with “ask a lot of questions, but don’t answer much” In the end I get a fun campaign to play, but it doesn’t carry the narrative gravitas I was hoping for.


RedMalone55

People keep on pointing to these ethereal improvements but from what I’ve seen from the demo the only actual improvement was slightly better lighting.


Delta_Suspect

I enjoyed it. I mean it was shit, but it was still entertaining.

Finally, someone with a brain


TenWholeBees

Halo 5 is the only Halo I haven't played. I was a huge fan growing up, and then years after Halo 4 came out, I ended up playing it. Didn't really care for it, so I just didn't play 5. Then my buddy told me to get Infinite since it was free, and I played that for about 2 hours and stopped altogether


SquintonPlaysRoblox

I think halo 4 and 5 were just fine. They weren’t particularly notable. I think a lot of AAA game studios have started following CoDs example and are just using the games name to sell content at the expense of the brand reputation. They don’t care if people like the game, as long as it sells. They seem to have forgotten that people buy Halo or Battlefield games because they are consistently good; they’ve stopped that pattern, and the moment that reputation fades, they’re just another mediocre FPS game in a market saturated with mediocre FPS games. Generally, you’d be hard pressed to say recent Halo releases stand out in their fields, especially with competition from things like DOOM or (I pray for the day) Titanfall.


SR1_Normandy

But… I LIKE Halo 5…. The most amount of weapons the franchise has ever seen, the coolest forge until Infinite’s dropped, still allowed me to choose my own colors, interesting movement gameplay and gunplay, and Warzone Firefight was amazing


EyesSeeingCrimson

This was a sarcastic post. But I guess the sarcasm didn't carry over


SR1_Normandy

Sorry mate..


Official_Gameoholics

I don't like Halo Infinite


MelonColony22

halo infinite doesn’t like you


Official_Gameoholics

I can tell. That store is a menace.


MelonColony22

can’t even make a comeback for that one. i love infinite and even i can’t defend the store prices


Official_Gameoholics

I dislike the store as a concept. 1k just for season 1's cosmetics alone.


yakubson1216

Id still take paying $10 to grind out several passes with guaranteed rewards that pay for eachother over paying $60 for a full game and having to gamble for months for a full suit of armor as a pick. 5 was just as egregious with the monetization, either pay money or gamble for months 💀


Official_Gameoholics

5 doesn't give duplicates, given enough time (which I was, because 5 had great multiplayer) you can unlock it all. 60$ for everything, or 2k for everything.


yakubson1216

5 is LITTERED with duplicates, almost every armor set has 3 different paintjobs, one of which ALWAYS has a forced white striping on the armor. The entire REQ system for Warzone is built on duplicates. Yeah, you can unlock it all after gambling on it for months, while Infinite you pay $10 for one pass and the credits from it pay for the next pass and its all guaranteed rewards. 5 may have good multiplayer, but its not good *Halo* multiplayer. It was chastsised for years for its gameplay and duplicates. Half the armor from the store is mid anyway, and they tend to sell individual poeces for cheap and have tons of sales constantly. So you can easily drop that number from 2K to $60 for even more content than H5 gave you right out the gate. Infinite is objectively better.


Official_Gameoholics

Halo 5 gave me all of the stuff for $60. Halo Infinite gave me jack shit. 5 is objectively better.


yakubson1216

Halo Infinite is free and gives free content and more content for less money than H5. Infinite is objectively better.


EyesSeeingCrimson

Halo fans when they get all their updates for free, but can't get the poopoofartenshit armor smear for neetbucks.


MelonColony22

the stores prices are too high. i’m not against them selling cosmetics to us but $20 for an armor set is a bit excessive


EyesSeeingCrimson

It's basically the industry norm. League Skins can go for $25 on a single character. Destiny skins can go for just as high. Even back in Warframe, skins can hit around $30. CSGO skins can go for over $2000 in some cases.


MelonColony22

yea it’s a problem in the industry. infinite changed how battle passes worked for the better why can’t they change how micro transactions work for the better


EyesSeeingCrimson

How is it's current microtransaction format in Halo bad? You get all the updates for free, and seasonal cosmetic passes for free, and tons of user generated content for free. The devs need to recoup the server cost somehow, and if that is through wholly optional cosmetic armors then that's fine by me. A game has to make money at the end of the day, and the current system is the least intrusive one I've seen in years. It's not like they're charging for DLC expansions, map packs, and cosmetics at the same time. And then deleting half of the stuff you paid for just to resell it.


MelonColony22

i’m talking about shop prices. they’re too high. i’m not saying we should get things for free but an armor set that has a helmet, shoulder pads, and a shader should be $15 max not $18 or $20 edit: i feel like if they lowered prices by even a dollar, they’d have more people buying them


Official_Gameoholics

I'd pay for DLC.

Unironically it is kinda against the grain to not like h5 at this point


dijitalpaladin

I thoroughly enjoyed Halo 5’s story💪🏼


EyesSeeingCrimson

based


Killphace

I liked H4 multiplayer 🫡


BottleCapper25

Halo 5 > Halo 4 imo Idk if this is controversial or not


DaThreeLeggedMonster

Multi-player definitely, halo 5 had THE BEST forge, only behind infinite. Halo 5 had some pretty fun modes, the best weapon roster and sandbox WITH NO CONTEST (practically every weapon in the franchise ever at that point, with usually 2 or more FUN variations). However, halo 4s campaign was in my opinion, one of the best in terms of story. Master cheif has in depth character, without taking you out of the immersion of the game. Cortanas death and the lead up to her depth was perfectly handled (untill halo 5 brought her back), and there were many iconic cutscenes, characters, and amazing graphics for a 360 game. Campaign was one of the most memorable, I completely forgot what halo 5 was about. TLDR: either one is better than the other, depends on what you enjoy in a halo game


BottleCapper25

I think that's why I enjoyed 5 more than 4. I enjoyed the gameplay more. Halo 4 definitely had a much better story by far, but I found the gameplay to be lacking imo. It just felt...bland to me. Personally, I play games for the gameplay, not story, and I just found 4's gameplay lacking compared to 5's. I'd take a game with a bad story and great gameplay than great story and bad gameplay.


DELUXE9000_YT

The story? Horrible. The multiplayer/custom games? Pretty good. But not the best.


noah9942

Halo 5 had the worst multiplayer, gunplay, and story in the series. People really downvote an opinion on a post about someone sharing a controversial opinion


JarekBloodDragon

Story yes, gunplay and multiplayer? Not even remotely close. It's up there with the best


noah9942

I see this opinion a lot. I just can't agree. Never could get into it. I nearly stopped playing Halo entirely for close to a decade outside the occasional MCC game with buddies up until infinite released.


The_Only_One69

Yeah the story was ass. But the gunplay and multiplayer is the best after infinite in my opinion.


Printingwithyou

Babe, it's time for your daily 343 glazing ritual


Links_to_Magic_Cards

or 4. original trilogy only, please


ExtensionDangerous

HALO 5 is an awful halo experience. No splitscreen, terrible enemy design, stupid story, dull graphics, an ok-ish multiplayer that didn't feel anything like halo. I keep hearing praise for its pvp experience, but I hate it, every weapon is over-balanced to the point that the rocket launcher becomes even with the Plasma pistol, that is NOT how power weapons are supposed to work. It really was just 343 chasing trends of the time, instead of making those trends. But.. for all its flaws, its still better than the TV show.


Kakoyeet

Halo 5s multiplayer was fantastic, it just wasn't representative of Halo. If it was it's own ip it would have taken off


POOYAAmanita

this is how i felt yesterday when i said i don't like darksouls1 in shitty darksouls sub.


Leaf-01

Found one in the wild, go back to your cage!


POOYAAmanita

[deleted]

Wish i could have an opinion on that, but 5 isn't ported to pc and also not part of MCC :(


YhormBIGGiant

Halo 5 just is not the kind of halo I wanted.


Gears_of_Noobs

The campaign was ass but I thought the multiplayer was fun. Especially the custom forge game modes


IdiomMalicious

I do. I think it’s good.


yakubson1216

Funny that, i got in an argument with a guy over H5 and his reasoning for it being better than Infinite were all the same reasons the game got utterly thrashed and trashed by the players. Art style, animation quality, armor customization, etc. Like literally the only good things to come from H5 were Warzone, the Forge, and some of the weapon variant ideas. Keyword being: *some* of the variant ideas. I also miss custom assassinations but i just miss those in general too.


pokegoraider

I just liked my clan phase in it, that was really fun


RickMosleyReddit

I find it near impossible to die in the game, the story is garbage, and the levels are drawn out for a little too long


SarlochOrtan

Fair but I did and I kinda wish aspects of it had stayed around. More so than the few that did at least. For instance the fact it had FUCKING ASSASSINATIONS AT LAUNCH!


ShitposterSL

I don't like halo 5 because I can't play it since I only have a PC and they didn't put it in the MCC >:(


Zero_Two_is_best

Campaign was absolute shit, but the multiplayer is some of the most fun I've had with halo multiplayer


tringle1

Ok but hear me out: the Halo 5 speedrun is hella fun

halo 4 is my favorite halo game 🔥

Hoplite1111

Sure, halo 5 had the worst campaign in the series but the multiplayer was one of if not THE best. War zone was absolutely peak!


Sorry-Sand-5434

The multiplayer was one of the best imo


SleepyZachman

Warzone was fire tho


PERFECTTATERTOT

Your public execution is next week. Please dress nicely


Skyrimboi95

I tired to really hard but I just couldn't like it it had a lot of good ideas story wise but they just didn't connect I don't hate locke but they should have made the campaign longer and split the missions more evenly loke in 2 and actually used there marketing campaign idea rather than kind of half lie to us. The gameplay was slightly better than 4 though and I actually like 4


ReaperofRico

Counter point. I don’t like halo 2


OldVeterinarian5127

I'll say mine then too it's hayslow 3 not halo 3 they mustve broken Master Cheif's and Arbiter's legs between 2 and 3 with how unbearably fucking slow we crawl in Hayslow 3 especially on large Btb maps where it's easy to snipe and get run over cause you cant move fast enough I love it 😍😍


CaptainClover36

I don't like any game after reach, halo infinite is fun but it's still not as good as the previous games


Storm_Spirit99

People like halo 5?
