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.
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.
