        For all its flaws, Halo 4 did have some intrigue. Which they then completely abandoned for Halo 5’s story. Which they then, again, completely abandoned for Infinite. It’s just like the sequel trilogy!

        It’s such a mess.

          I just hated the introduction of a new enemy. The Prometheans sucked, and so did their weapons. 343 clearly did that so they could put their own stamp on it. The new weapons sucked for the most part. They also Call of dutied up a bunch of parts of the multiplayer which was lame.

        Agreed. F2P multiplayer and paid campaign rubbed me the wrong way. Just wasn’t the halo I grew up with.

        Infinite was when they gave up. No story, lazy maps, broken online, barebones multiplayer. My personal grievance is abandoning the Promethean storyline and Cortana’s story. Bringing her back was a mistake. But they should have followed through once they did it.

          If they had stuck with anything they started, it would’ve turned out exponentially better.

          This wishy-washy “restarting the story” each new game was actually exhausting.
