should they add a sub title to halo 2,3 and 4?
in the next halo game they are dropping the number with it still being halo 6. the first halo already has a sub title and halo 5 does as well and if the numbers are full dropped by doing this prequels involving The Master Chief can happen with out confusion the casual fans
HALO REACH
HALO COMBAT EVOLVED
HALO THE GREAT SCHISM
HALO ODST
HALO THE GREAT JOURNEY
HALO REQUIEM
HALO GUARDIANS
HALO INFINITE

I’d rather they not
If you’re genuinely worried about confusing people, the place to start would probably be to consider renaming the upcoming game, not trying to rename years old games, the names of which are already in millions of people’s heads and all over the internet.
Hypothetically, if 343i announced this tomorrow, it would change literally nothing. People would not suddenly start calling Halo 3 “Halo: The Great Journey”. Searching for Halo 3 on Google would turn up all the usual articles, whereas searching for Halo: The Great Journey would probably give nothing of use. In general, it could only possibly make things more confusing, not less confusing.
On a side note, subtitled games are a pain to refer to in discussion, simply because their names are longer to write. You see this in the fact that practically no one refers to Halo 5 as “Halo 5: Guardians”. Frankly, I’d rather be referring to Halo Infinite as Halo 6 if I didn’t fear confusing people, and I’d prefer if had 343i not decided to change to subtitles in place of numbers. Subtitles are perhaps marginally more interesting, but ultimately an unnecessary hassle when you actually have to talk about the thing. Spin-off namings are of course a necessary evil, because they don’t fit the numbering scheme.
Really, if we’re to talk about our preferred naming schemes, I’d like if it was: Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: ODST, Halo. Reach, Halo 4, Halo 5, Halo 6. Notably, I really dislike the “Combat Evolved” subtitle in many ways, and the 3 in ODST is unnecessary, but understandable.

it would change because it would give 343i more freedom with crating master chief focused games for example they could put a game between halo 4 and 5 or 1 and 2 to better connect the games and explain changes. its also allows for prequels involving the master chief and overall the games would connect better

How so? How does the fact that Halo CE and 2 are named as they are hinder 343i making a game about the events of First Strike? What would be different if the name of Halo 2 was changed?
I really, genuinely don’t understand what you’re trying to get at, at all. If 343i wants to make prequels, they can. If they want to make a game named Halo. First Strike, based on the book, they can do it. Whether Halo 2 is named “Halo 2” or “Halo: The Great Schism” has literally no bearing on it whatsoever. It has no bearing on 343i’s ability to make a game. It has no bearing on the ability of fans to understand where that game is located chronologically. If you can’t place the games “Halo: Combat Evolved”, “Halo. First Strike”, and “Halo 2” in chronological order, you’re not going to do any better with “Halo: Combat Evolved”, “Halo. First Strike”, and “Halo: The Great Schism”.

master chief games in any time period is possibly by doing this. and prequels are not possibly because its halo 1 2 3 they will only be able to do spin off. And did you read what I last wrote as I put for example witch means it’s a suggestion to get a idea of the concept and I suggest two potenshuoll game all it is a opportunity that is blocked by the numbers.

And how exactly does the numbering of Halo games make prequels impossible? You can make a prequel and name it whatever the heck you want. Nothing is “blocked by the numbers”.

so you didn’t read it as I didn’t say prequels were impossible I said master chief prequels were not possible because the chiefs story is the main story

But they are possible, that’s the point. The naming of existing games has no effect on the possibility of making whatever new games 343i wants to make whatsoever. This whole idea of yours is just absolutely ridiculous and completely pointless.
Id like to see an ODST 2. Something to keep us bust while we wait for Infinite.

you cant make a main title that is also prequels that’s the point and you haven’t read my comments at all and there no point in doing well there is, its called making it better then what is was. were is the point in numbering them? all that numbering does is make other titles with out numbers unimportant and ignored by the general public

Obviously, I have read your comments since I’ve been responding to them. I just don’t think they make any sense.

That’s ridiculous. Reach sold as much if not more than Halo 4 and 5. It definitely sold more than Halo 2, and its coming short of Halo 3 can easily be attributed to a million reasons that have nothing to do with as minor a detail as the name of the game.

but it does not follow the master chief and its were the francize fall started and did you forget odst and halo wars 1. the only reason its got a high number is because it was bungis final halo game and was the next full halo game after halo 3 with 2/3 of its sales and look at how well halo 4 performed because it was a number

why was this move from general dissuasion to classic halo games halo 5 and 4 isn’t classic and why cant any of the monitors do there job farly and inform you to see if its ok with you before doing something they should not be doing
can there be some good and bad things at the same time said about this so a better conclude can come out of it
Yes! All of Bungie’s games at least, deserve a subtitle. And most of them are official!
