It legitimately boggles the mind how out of sync the owners of the Halo IP are with its fans. 343 and Microsoft have had over a decade to figure it out and it's been a shitshow every time.

Halo 4 was okay, nothing really groundbreaking

Halo CE Anniversary was just Halo 1 with a texture pack

Halo 5 doesn't interest me at all, it straight up doesn't feel like a Halo game

MCC was completely broken at launch, and while it's good today it's just the original Bungie games with some hacks to get them working on modern PCs

Halo Infinite's development was a shit show and it seems they've forgotten about the campaign cliffhanger as well as a bunch of unanswered questions

And then they put out this TV show with just weird writing even outside the context of the Halo universe. I used to buy Xbox solely because of Halo, but now the franchise just feels like it's dead in the water.
