Everything after 3 is poorly written fan fiction to me. It still is one of my favorite franchises of all time, but it’s never going to be the same again. Halo Wars 2 was all right though.

  CE, Reach, and ODST are my top 3 games in the franchise. I think i have a special appreciation for the self-contained stories.
  
  Actually, I had REALLY hoped Infinite would use ODST as a template for their open world. Because IMO, Infinite implemented it terribly in just about every way they could.

Half of Halo 4 was the best story they ever put in a Halo game. The other half was embarrassingly formulaic sci-fi.

  It’s okay but Halo 5 makes the whole story worthless.

    I don’t think 5 ruined 4. By the end of 5 it’s established that this Cortana is not the same Cortana. For all intents and purposes, the old Cortana is gone.
    
    Infinite however, gave her a sympathetic send-off which undid that.
