The campaign took some focus away from Master Chief and took some turns that some didn’t care for. In fact, it’s not a stretch to say it’s seen generally as the weakest mainline Halo game. On top of that, Halo 5 is far from the most beloved Halo game. You more or less have to have an Xbox console to play it, going counter to the brands newer ‘play anywhere’ ethos. Halo 5 is currently unavailable on PC – though you can play its incredible Forge mode – making it one of the harder Halos to play currently. While it has had nearly six years in the spotlight as the ‘current Halo’, it has been eclipsed by the Master Chief Collection as the go-to Halo destination. Halo 5 has become the weird, forgotten child of the franchise.
No, Halo Infinite’s bedfellow makes entirely more sense as it is the most modern take on Halo multiplayer – it’s Halo 5. There is still sprinting, clambering, aim-down-sights… these are things that have always defined ‘modern Halo multiplayer’. It’s not a great indicator to the ‘feel’ of Halo Infinite. That feels more like a play to sentimentality and nostalgic excitement towards that game.
There is a contingency of fans out there who have been saying that it has the feel of Halo 3, but in a modern setting. It was limited, but it gave players a taste of how Halo Infinite is going to play. 343’s data collection excursion, for the most part, had players facing off against bots, testing only a handful of smaller maps and weapons. Who is going to be best served, what should fans of the series expect? A selection of players got their first answers to those questions this weekend when Halo Infinite held its technical flight. That’s why asking, “which game is Halo Infinite closest to?” is an important one.

The nuances from Halo 2 to Halo 3, or Halo: Reach and Halo 4 are significant as well. For those who have evolved with the games from Halo: Reach onwards, Spartan abilities have become a defining staple of the multiplayer experience. For purists in the Halo 2and 3 era, multiplayer should not include sprinting or the ability to aim-down-sights (ADS). Due to the series being around for so long, and people jumping on at various phases throughout its lifecycle, everyone has a different opinion on the particulars of what makes Halo, Halo. Halo multiplayer is always a contentious topic.
