I did not like Halo 4, but Halo 5 is fantabulous, I think for a lot of the reasons you just mentioned.

For example, the sheer enemy numbers. It's nice to step into a big ass room and have a bunch of dudes shoot at you and not die immediately. It's nice to run around and just smack people and not go down in 4 shots. I like not using the hide and stick to cover fighting in Destiny. I like being a super soldier. I like the simplicity of just shooting the shit out of a bad guy, too. Halo 5 also rewards people who are tactical with their team as well. It's a game for everyone!

I spent two missions using only the shoulder charge to kill people. It was huge fun! The guns are all fun too! Halo 5 is a ton of fun!

It feels like a more modern shooter than Halo 4, which makes sense, because it is. But it plays really well. Everything is satisfying. The driving's good too. This is the most fun I've had playing Halo campaign mode since Halo 2.

In Destiny, I like to explore stuff just to see where it goes, but in Halo 5 I explore hallways thinking "I wonder what kind of neat stuff in this one."

Besides the story being nigh incomprehensible to me, my only real problems are the cinematics, where everyone's skin looks like it's made out of 20 grit sandpaper with no elasticity.

343 has made a believer out of me. Now to just wait until the game goes on sale later to buy it.

EDIT: this may be the most fun I've had doing Halo campaign since Halo, actually.
