Halo 5 was one if not the only campaign that had missions that looked like a battlefield. Halo Reach cames close but it didn’t really fill the field and skies besides a few warthogs.
If they one day do an Anniversary of Reach and ODST, I hope they make the missions look more immersive, since, we are after all in the middle of the the UNSC’s worst lost and ODSTs dropping in the middle of a warzone. Because you really don’t feel like it.
And no, I am not asking to change the gameplay, just changing the background.

I struggle to figure out what exactly you’re asking for. “War-torn” and especially “immersive” don’t mean much without any descriptions. If you’re talking about all the ships in the sky and such in 5, that’s because that segment had us thrust right into the middle of an Elite war. Reach and ODST looked the way they did because Reach had the Spartans focus on specialized missions away from the territorial battles rather than having them join the frontlines, and ODST was about dealing with the fallout and continued Covenant excavation after Regret left the planet. The true battle for Earth doesn’t take place until the time period between ODST and Halo 3, as hinted at during the endings for both ODST and 2 (and the Halo 3 marketing, for that matter).
