Someone just made this point in the other thread:
The question is what do you think should happen with Halo going forward? There is a lot of conflicting accounts about lore changing, but ultimately it focuses on whether the changed forerunner arc was or was not in the original Bungie plans, or some small hidden oversight that was built on.
So should the series return to the original end of Halo 3 (sans terminals) and pick up from there?
Should they reboot the entire base series and have one game covering all lore?
Continue with the story as is with a continuation from Infinite?
I've recently played a lot through Halo on coop with only Halo 2 Legendary to finish (except coop keeps shitting itself), and you forget how small scale the originals were. Run to this location, now run all the way back.
Halo 4 was a decent campaign, didn't really like the enemies and levels in 5. Infinite was OK but the open world didn't really add what I thought it would.
Multiplayer is on point currently.
Infinite showed us that there is a large playerbase that can be pulled back in. Infinite also showed us that the number of let downs has bred cynicism and easy drop attitude to the series.
Personally I think they need to get interest back up in Halo. But I can't see a short term fix if I'm being honest. It's like all the good GaaS options would take 5/6 years to develop and chasing BR is too late.
With Bonnie Ross gone, and Kiki Wolfkill out, Frank O'Connor was the only name left. With this, the people who can be said to be directly responsible for the fall of Halo have all been removed. With the house now clean, Halo might actually get the treatment is deserves.
