So I've been replaying the Halo franchise.

Halo 5 graphics are kind of a letdown after Halo 4 unfortunately. They lost Corrinne Yu, their best engine designer, around the time they started Halo 5 and it was a devastating loss for their technology team. Halo 4 honestly looks better than Halo 5 in some ways. Here's hoping they were smart and made a new engine for Halo 6. 

Anyway, I'm glad to hear the series finally won you over. Still one of my favorite series even though Halo 5 singleplayer was disappointing.

Well that's disappointing. I was really looking forward to it. At least I'll go in with tempered expectations. It'll probably be a week before I can get to it. In fact, I'll probably play Reach first just to put off the let down a little longer.

 

Lack of couch co-op is the reason I never bothered playing Halo 5 but I'm having a blast with the pretty other games in single player. Is the story good, at least?

Same here.  I greatly enjoyed the Halo series, but what I liked most about it was playing along with friends when they would come over.  I played all of the mainline releases as they came out and replayed them on the Master Chief collection.  But, I completely skipped Halo 5 when I heard they eliminated the split-screen co-op.
