I'm going to have to go with the folks saying Halo 5 is a great game.

I recognize that the Microsoft hate bandwagon is still running pretty strong, but Halo 5 is anything but a "fall from grace". It's not perfect, as I've outlined myself, but there's a polish to this game that not only gives it a distinct flavor from other FPS games while modernizing the formula, but also reminds people that Halo is Halo.

You can be good at just about every modern FPS, and Halo will eat you alive! Hahaha

I have the opposite problem. I rock Halo, but suck at anything and everything else...

That sort of inversely proves the point, though, hehe  Halo is Halo, there's really no other FPS game that plays enough like it that you can transfer skills from one to another.  It's mostly the insane TTK, though! lol

Am I taking crazy pills? I re-read the OP twice, and the TL:DR version is this :

"Halo 1 was amazeballs, and Halo 2 turned into generic slog, btw I hate Bungie"

And then I see people talking about Halo 5 immediately? First, November 2004 wants it's thread back, and second, what does this have to do with the situation today, or is this just kind of a retrospective look back? I don't personally have a problem with it, it just kind of struck me as strange.

Maybe OP had planned to detail why Halo 3, 4, 5, ODST, and Reach were also bad/worse than CE and just didn't feel like writing it out?

The OP stated that Halo stopped being "Halo" when Halo 2 hit, but people are pointing out that even now, Halo 5 is still a great "Halo" game.

At least that's how I'm interpreting the conversational direction in this thread, and why I support the thoughts that Halo 5 is, indeed, a great Halo game.
