Halo Infinite vs Halo 5 Guardians
The short answer
Halo Infinite, clearly. Its multiplayer is the best the series has had since Halo 3 and it is free to play, the grappleshot is the best addition to the sandbox in years, and the open-world campaign is a real return to form. Halo 5's campaign is the weakest in the series.
What they have in common
Same shields-and-grenades sandbox and the same emphasis on long-range engagements that reward positioning.
Pick Halo Infinite.
Free multiplayer, a campaign with genuine exploration, and the classic feel restored. This is the one to install.
Pick Halo 5 only for Warzone and Forge.
The large-scale Warzone mode and its Forge tools are the reasons anyone still returns. The campaign is not.
