I wouldn’t know, actually. Halo 4 is the last game whose campaign I played - since H4 is in the MCC, H5 is not on PC, and H:I costs too much for my opinion of it.
Halo 5 is infamously more book-dependent than Halo 4, and …
(spoiler block that I should have used in my previous comment)
the two things in H:I that follow from H5 are cortana bad and Infinity runs away
… , so IF you want to skip Halo 5, at best, you may be missing how you ended up where H:I begins.
There may be a reference to a certain Spartan Locke here or there, idr.I don’t want to spoil your fun, so I’d say you should run through H5 if you’re planning to play Infinite and if (unlike me) you wouldn’t have to buy an Xbox to do so.
To answer your first question: I can’t say too much about a game that I only vaguely remember from watching a playthrough on YT, but from what I do remember, H:I is somewhat more self-contained.

Would’ve bet my money on that exact outcome *^*
The fact that you didn’t really understand the plot is not your fault: 343I Halo games until H:I have an obsession on requiring you to read books to straighten up the story.
If you have questions such as:
- Why are the covvies the baddies again?
- What does the Halsey cutscene have to do with anything?
- Who the hell is the Didact?
- Why the hell is the Didact doing things?
- Who the hell is the Librarian?
- Spartans on the Infinity? Wasn’t 117 the last Spartan or something?
- Was that ending a QTE?
… it’s because none of those questions are answered within the main plot of H4.
Some answers (3,4,5) you can find in books, some (1,2,6) in Spartan Ops (I never even played those), some (7) here on Lemmy - yes that was absolutely a QTE for a final boss in a Halo game.If it’s any consolation for Cortana’s death being undone later offscreen, SPOILER AHEAD, her death’s undoing is also undone later offscreen.
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 5 days ago:
My personal minimum is a stable 40/s, which is roughly where I start noticing the lower framerate without paying attention to it.
With 30/s I need to get used to it, and I usually underclock (or, rather, power-limit) my GPU to hit an average 50 unless the game in question is either highly unstable (e.g. Helldivers 2) or the game is so light I don’t have to care (e.g. Selaco). - Comment on Day 213 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 6 days ago:

I wouldn’t blame you, many people wonder what kinda halo looking game Halo 4 is

I’m pretty sure the .file notation is a bug-turned-feature of a GNU coreutils program, Windows has no such thing and marks files as hidden using filesystem attributes.
I couldn’t say whether I prefer it one way or the other, but the dot prefix does stick out like a sore thumb on systems that don’t hide them by default… though I think AnyOldName3’s explaination makes sense.
- Comment on Developers: "Yes, the users love cluttered homes, just put everything there and ignore guidelines" 2 weeks ago:
Everyone here is talking about conventions used on Linux, but this looks like Windows Explorer to me…?
Why are there so many directory names in there following Linux “hidden file” conventions, if that’s the case? - Comment on Day 204 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 weeks ago:
I don’t recall, I’ve never really liked it so I’ve completed it twice in my life and only once on Legendary. I remember some youtuber saying ammo is particularly scarce, though I think it’s on par with Halo 3? Perhaps slightly more difficult, like Reach.

There are speedrunners that manage to finish H2 in a few hours, when I say it took a day for us I mean we woke up playing Halo, paused for lunch, and stopped playing after dinner.
What’s impressive is that last year our brains didn’t melt like they did the years prior *^*Don’t you worry, after H2, H3 becomes a breeze, H:R may be more of a challenge without H2’s bullshit. I wonder if I’ll ever manage to try and LASO some game at some point…

Hey, if it makes you feel better, it gets easier with time.
My cousin and I have the tradition of running the entire Bungie-era Halos every summer, after three years we somehow got to the point where we can beat H2 in a single day.
You’ve just got to learn the cheese strats, like the ones you mentioned or skipping the Sniper Alley™ by going OOB at the beginning of the mission.
- Comment on Day 204 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 weeks ago:
Probably played Halo 2 on legendary and bringing back the traumatic memories upsets them, I can’t even blame them if that’s the case

Not ALL major political conflicts in the galaxy, you didn’t solve one in the first game and only solved one in the second one (with the solution being “RIP, batarians”).
- Comment on Mass Effect 5: BioWare Doesn't 'Require Support From the Full Studio', EA Moves Some Staff to Other Teams 3 weeks ago:
I disagree with both, ME3 was slightly ok.
First of all, the original concept of the reapers’ objective was way better than the “AI bad” we got;
secondly, most of its story is just tying loose ends - the whole game is a collection of fanservice moments, many of which look good but feel inorganic(heh) if you think about the fact that one undead human soldier (plus a few dozen subordinates) solves all major galactic disputes. - Comment on Birbs 3 weeks ago:

Chromehounds, trying to squeeze as much nostalgia fun out of it to compensate not having been able to play more than three times online (as the game was intended).
- Comment on Freejam studio closing with Robocraft and Robocraft 2 shutting down 5 weeks ago:
If you’re ok with emulation (or have the hardware & means to acquire the game), the infamous Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is similar to Robocraft - only singleplayer-focused, with the technical limitations of the Xbox 360, and a bastardized version of the BK artistic direction.
I’m not sure the game aged well, but other than that I got nothing

- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 1 month ago:
With tap-to-move mechanics, I’ve seen many, but I only recall Terraria having it hardcoded in.
In that game you can get certain items that allow you to dodge by double-tapping A or D; it just happens that for some reason you may want to slowly move towards a boss, and with a keyboard you can only do so by mashing A or D.
If you mash too slowly, you’re too slow, if you mash too quickly, you ram the boss.Also, cliffs range from annoying (in the late game) to deadly (in the early game).
- Comment on Anons make the worst game ever 1 month ago:
Gameplay heavily based on dodging and careful movement, but you can only dodge by double tapping movement keys or the stick
