At the request of @sarnakhwritesthings. Things I noticed while holed up in a hotel watching Halo after playing most of the MCC.
I know one of the writers or someone said “we didn’t look at the games” but I’m sorry, they did. They totally did.
There’s a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene in the opening battle on Madrigal where John ducks behind a vehicle or something to let his shields recharge.
Riz runs out of ammo and grabs a plasma pistol from the sangheili she just dropped.
In the last episode John lands on a sleeping grunt when the team drops into Ras Kkhotska. Vannak takes out a grunt and picks up two Needlers (much to Kai’s dismay I’m sure 😂).
During the battle on Eridanus John tells Cortana “I’m gonna need a weapon” which Game Chief says a few times.
John hijacks a Ghost (I think?) on Eridanus.
I’m absolutely headcanoning the Sangheili who escapes from the cave and tells Makee about the artifact as Arbiter, although let’s be honest here Thel Vadam would have been shot to death before he ran away.
Bonus from watching Halo 5 since then:
Argent Moon = argent means silver. I bet they lifted Silver Team’s name from here.
One of Arbiter’s shipmasters is named Ma(h)kee.
I’m really glad they changed the rest of the team’s armor for the show, especially the ladies, because I could not take Linda seriously with those C-3PO eyes.
Oh yes, and Atriox lives. Fight me. They wouldn’t have brought him in and made such a point to ensure the audience noticed him to just off him. He WILL be back.

Once I finished the campaign for Halo Infinite, I was pretty much done with it. I played a little more multiplayer but shortly after uninstalled it from my PC. Even with season 2 happening, there’s been nothing else that has drawn me back to Infinite. I am honestly more likely to reinstall The Master Chief Collection than I am Infinite.
I probably will not be returning to Infinite until campaign DLC happens and I don’t see that happening anytime soon, especially when things like Forge still have not happened yet so I am sure that campaign DLC will not happen for a year or two.
Something I think with Infinite is that 343 Industries has been spending more time on like marketing the game so that you see Halo Infinite on Doritos, cereal and energy drinks and also the action figures and Mega Constructx sets and Nerf guns and that’s all well and good but it seems like 343 Industries should be spending time on the game itself. But yeah, until there’s more campaign DLC, I will not be returning to Infinite any time soon.

All Hail Slugman!
The Digsite team continues to dive into the cutting room floor. In these excavations are weapons, maps, and many aliens of various sizes and ugliness.

It's time to play Halo 3, I've played it many times before but this is the first time I'll be playing it with the context of Halo 2.
