Eh I don't think that's necessarily fair.

The best multiplayer in the series was Halo 5, which is also the farthest from the original in many ways. It just had a crappy story.

Then Halo Infinite was great, and extremely faithful to the original, but I would argue to a fault, as you could see them repeating the exact same story beats and moments rather than coming up with new ones.

I respect your opinion but wholly disagree with H5 having the best multiplayer. In my opinion, Reach had the best feel to its multiplayer, up until 343 got hold of it and introduced their Title Update patch. I also say H4 was better than 5 and Infinite is lacking something I cant grasp, something is missing or maybe theres too much?

Imo, Halo 5 is easily the best gameplay of the 343i games. It also added the most interesting plot threads of their games, despite having a terrible plot.

Halo 4's gunplay is the worst in the series, especially in the campaign when balanced with the Prometheans. It's not so bad in the multiplayer, but still not great. Halo 5 improved both the enemies and the weapons pretty spectacularly.

Agreed on Reach being the best though.

How can you say that when forge exists

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Forge existed in Halo 5 too, and doesn't impact the campaign....
