This reminds me of a comment I saw a few days ago
"343 can't handle Halo. 343 has proven they can't manage the franchise. Halo 4, while the story was better than Halo 5's was still shit because it relied on the player to know the lore behind the Forerunners. I didn't, I had only read the first 3 books and was confused as shit when the Didact showed up. I shouldn't have had to go to Halopedia to understand what the hell was going on. The multiplayer for Halo 4 was just playing catch up to CoD and it failed. The player retention on 4 was terrible. MCC was a disaster. The launch was a wreck and it took them forever to fix it. Halo 5 is a total fucking train wreck. The UI, story, and art design is all shit. That's the only way to describe it. 343 was created to carry on Bungie's legacy. They've utterly failed to do that. They took a sharpie, wrote "Property of 343", shit on it, then threw it at us. I get that Halo had to change to maintain its popularity, but instead of building on all the good things that Bungie had done, they ignored it and tried to make it too much of their own thing. They disrespected Halo."
