I look on another forum and saw the OP post this and looked into and 343 is actually focusing on story then MP which is good since Halo 5 Story was bad. This Link will tell us that 343 is listening to us and is trying to make a better Campaign.
Good good, Halo 4 had what I believe to be the best storytelling we have seen in the entire Halo franchise. Then Halo 5 sort of just didn’t follow up correctly after Halo 4. So if we see stuff like the Halo 4 campaign again, then I’ll be a happy man. Of course mentioning this I will have to address that halo 4’s multiplayer was eh, while Halo 5’s multiplayer is fun in my opinion. So I believe if they can evenly balance their work time to have both at full potential then we will get an all around enjoyable game.
Precedent from ODST and Reach? Hell yes.
One can only hope. Though I can’t see any good way that 343i can reconcile the awful decision of resurrecting Cortana. If she dies again, it will be cringe-worthy; same if she is redeemed (even if she dies doing so). I just can’t think of a way that won’t sound predictable/cliche either way.
If they can keep MS from micromanaging their affairs and also keep the same writing team responsible for H5 a million miles away from it, yeah it might not. But I’m not counting on either of those.
And as far as the article goes, shame I don’t believe a word Frankie says anymore.
If they made a spin off game to make Halo 5’s campaign more understandable then I’m down with Halo 6’s campaign being great. The spin off would have to give good background stories and character development to each character that felt like they offered nothing interesting. Because as it stands i don’t understand or fully follow with Master Chief “who felt like a machine again”, Fireteam Osiris “no character development”, Blue Team “there to be there”, the story about the Sword of Sanghelios, Jul’ Mdama “who got killed off in the first mission”, Warden Eternal “another robot”, and Cortana who has gone -Yoink!-. And to be honest i want the Chief to retire…the voice actor Steve Downes is getting old and will eventually stop voicing acting, so Chief wont last forever. But I’m quite optimistic that Halo 6 will indeed be better than Halo 5 by a long shot. If not 343i and Microsoft will be dealing with a, may i quote? “a -Yoink- storm.”

This. Cortana is completely dead to me as a character. I have no interest in her as an antagonist or in seeing how long this stupid plot goes on for. I don’t care whether or not she’s evil or morally grey. I don’t care whether she gets killed again or redeemed or saved. She shouldn’t have been brought back in the first place.
But unfortunately, there’s no way to undo the damage done to her other than just declaring Halo 5 non-canon (or revealing in the opening cutscene that the whole story was just a dream/Warzone simulation/whatever) and continuing from where Halo 4 left off. Or, failing that, retconning her survival by handwaving away H5 Cortana as the Didact in disguise or something along those lines.
