What I mean is from a Campaign standpoint, did Halo 5 destroy what Halo 4 started. I ask cause in Halo 4, we had the Didact debut as a villain and was gonna use the Composer to turn all of humanity into Promethians for revenge for what the humans did to the Forerunners millennia ago and to make sure the Forerunners keep the Mantle of Responsibility. Master Chief stops him destroys the Didact’s ship and the Composer along with it. The Didact seems to be dead but the secret ending hints that he’s still alive.
Then Halo 5 comes around and Cortanna who was supposed to be dead managed to survive and is trying to awaken the Guardians so that she can force peace on the galaxy through tyrannical rule. Not that I don’t find it cool but I would’ve preferred that the Didact would’ve stayed as the main villain of the Reclaimer Trilogy and try to do something like compose the Galaxy somehow using the Halo Rings and Composers if there were any left.
In the “Halo: Escalation” comic, the Didact is still alive and Master Chief, with Blue Teams help, manages too finally defeat him by composing him.
(I still haven’t read the hole thing but I know how it ends)
Let’s put it this way. 343i’s writing team took all the great plot arcs and character development set up in Halo 4 and the pre-Halo 5 extended universe, and flushed it down the toilet. And then replaced it with something that belongs in that toilet.

But that doesn’t make any sense. I remember in Halo 4 it was stated that the Didact was immune to the Composer like how John was so him being composed is quite stupid if you ask me.
Yeah pretty much really becuase they made most of Halo 5 background on the books and the comics.
