Nobody was missing out on anything. All of 343s Halo games have been garbage, but Halo 5 takes the garbage cake home.
The translation layer is awesome for every other game though.
Halo 5 had a lot of problems. Bit it's a damned masterpiece compared to Infinite.
Halo 5 had great gunplay, Warzone Firefight was a blast, the Guardians were a great stand-in for the Halo rings, Cortana was an intimidating enemy by the end of the game, the lootboxes were actually better than the armor cores and marketplace from Infinite.
There are A LOT of negatives in there too. But a lot of positives. Infinite is just a shitshow from the beginning.
Do people not like infinite? A mate and I are playing coop currently and I'm really enjoying it.
It's in a more or less acceptable state now and I play it, but it sure doesn't live up to the original 10 year live service promise.
I have a lot of problems with it. Between the "story" and the copy-paste map. I would rather the game didn't exist, because at least then they could make a follow up to 5's end.
I really don't want to spoil your fun if you're enjoying it though. A lot of the gameplay elements are fun to play around with.
Infinite has coop now??
As far as I recall, Infinite has had online co-op, just not local/split screen co-op.
But don't quote me on that!
It did not release with co-op. I think they had to figure out how to make it work with the open world map and zip lining. When I had finished it, it still didn't have it. When they added it, they also announced that they had stopped trying to make local co-op work.
Jeez, no wonder Infinite has always had such a bad reputation then!
As far as I know, they gave up on assassinations too. To be honest, by the time I finished the game, the missing features were at the bottom of the list of problems I had with it.
The Master Chief Collection doesn't have split screen campaigns on PC
So fucking upsetting getting it all set up only to be told it's online only. It's fucking Halo!!!!
Then even more pissed off that it's in the console version. Why cut features between the two??
