I played all halo games for the first time 2 years ago and I had a blast with it. They hold up very well. 

My quick take on them, from a guy that never played halo before:

- Halo CE: dated mechanics but loved the plot and characters and the pace of it. I can understand how so many people loved it at that time.

- Halo 2: My least favourite of the originals but the redone graphics on the anniversary edition help a lot. Its like night and day.

- Halo 3: Loved it, the high stakes, action, story, my only problem with it is that some of the story happens ofscreen and I think the plot just moves too fast, sometimes youre just shooting stuff and you dont even know about it.

- Halo Reach: One of the best FPS I ever played. Loved every minute of it. Best soundtrack in the series.

- Halo 4: I dont get the hate, I really liked it, loved the new story introduced, the cliffhanger at the end. My only problem with it is that its a bit repetitive especially the long metal corridors. I also hated the final boss "fight". Loved all the rest.

- Halo 5: Pure shit

How did you play Halo 5? Via GamePass or outright buy it? Because it's not in the Master Chief Collection due to it being a DX12 game and while previous games were all DX11.

I bought it used, physical version, paid something like £10 or something. God that was a bad game. Played on Series X.

Fair enough. I actually throught the MP was very good and the Spartan abilities (overpowered) added another dimension to the gameplay. I was disappointed they removed them. I'll agree the Campaign was average but has amazing cut-scenes.

What made Titanfall great was the unique features like wall running etc, Halo 5 had badass Spartan abilities like Charge and Ground pound etc. Really fits in with the whole Overpowered Spartan concept. Through hard to balance.

343 should have stayed on course and evolve the franchise instead of always looking at the past. Just my opinion.
