Since we all know that Halo 5’s campaign was garbage, I propose that they remake it. Entirely. Pretend that what we got never happened.
This time, focus on what this game DOES have already that works, and the story will be more relatable to the player. Also, this time, have Chief as the main character, with Locke being an occasional enemy, kinda like Warden Eternal, but not four at a time. Also, Cortana will be found on Genesis, but she’ll simply be healed and help Chief on his missions once more, like the good ol’ days.
I’ve even done 343i the favor of making cover art for it. They need to really just re-release the game entirely, with the new campaign.
There is no financial incentive for 343i to redo the campaign. Any money that would be made from redoing the campaign (getting additional people to buy the game to see the campaign, etc.) would be more than outweighed by the cost (and time required) to remake it. Best to just hope for an epic H6 campaign.

Are you sure? Bro check out my cover art concept and you’ll see that 343 has money waiting for them in this.
Your concept for a remade Halo 5 story sounds worse than what 343 already produced. Nothing was fundamentally wrong with the team-concept, 343 just focused too much on Osiris (which I liked as a team) and not enough on 3/4 members of Blue Team. Why should Locke be an enemy? He never presents himself as one and even in the advertising it never appeared that any hostility he had was purely irrational. Personally, I think Chief should be the one players see least up to a point as we try to figure out his motives, then we can recap and proceed as Chief after the first half of the game with both Chief and Locke and their teams joining forces at the end, Cortana should have stayed dead, but “killed” (and she was) and then brought back all patched up and perfect. That would have ruined the emotional impact of Halo 4 more than turning her evil. Go back to the drawing board.
They could have changed a few things, but to just start from scratch would be a huge cost. Maybe something like spartan ops in H4 to add to the story, and have it with Blue Team.

Agreed. I definitely think that they should remake the campaign with a better lead writer and then retcon Escalation while they’re at it. However, the revisions the OP suggested were even worse than what the current campaign is, much worse. Cortana needs to stay dead next time around, bring back someone like the Didact to be the villain instead. I also like the idea of not seeing Chief until the later half, makes what he’s doing and his motives mysterious, an aspect that was seriously lacking in the main game. However, after that it really should just be Chief from there on out. I also have to disagree with you on Osiris. I really couldn’t care less about them besides Buck. They might still work if they actually put effort into making them interesting, but I honestly think swapping out all the new characters while bringing in more established characters like Jun and then make Buck fireteam leader would be better in the long run. Some other points I think any new campaign needs to focus on are ONI and their Big Brother policies and the Insurrection, and maybe the Cult from HtT too.

Halo 2 was also amazing and not complete -Yoink- like Halo 5. Also where did that comparison even come from? Literally makes no sense.
In my ideal world escalation wouldn’t exist as it is and halo 5 would be chief and blue team continuing the janus key story arc with chief coping with Cortana’s loss. To do tho this he would help arbiter to defeat Jul to get to the absolute record and whilst he’s there he saves halsey. Obviously the absolute record would have to be destroyed and after telling the protacgonists something important (didact/evil Cortana/ flood return) jul/ covenant could blow it up.
You know to put the twist where normally the humans blow up the forerunner instillation to stop the covenant.
But what is here is here to stay, so I’m just gonna focus on the multiplayer for now on.

Yeah I dunno where the comparison came from either.
