Halo Infinite killed the franchise for me.

I still get my friends together to play Halo a couple times a year. But finishing Infinite was the first time I was no longer excited for the next installment.

Ever since Halo 2 dropped my best friend and I have co-opped each one in one sitting. Infinite is the first time in 2 decades that we couldn't get through an installment. Open world was fun but empty, and they tried to have it cover for a plot. The entire 4-5-6 "trilogy" is more disjointed than the star wars sequels. Story was not compelling, no emotional pulls. Halo was legit top tier sci fi and infinite felt like it was written by a committee ina meeting room. Just sad.

Hmt I might say the story of 4 and 5 was halfway decent.
In a vacuum.
While not comparing it to Reach (or 3. But that hasnt stuck hard in my memory. CE was peak for me. I remember getting lost as a little kid in the hallways on the Pillar of Autmm on the way to the rescue capsules)
