Despite the reception of the multiplayer, Halo 5: Guardians was, undoubtedly, a disappointment. I followed the game until the release and what I got day of, even months after, felt like a shell of what I felt the game would shelf out. With that said and Frank O’Conner’s response toward Halo 5’s criticism, I think this would be the perfect time for 343 to pick themselves up again and have the next Halo title be a spin-off. Whether it features Master Chief or not, 343 should create a game they know the fans will like by taking notes from previous and current titles and creating something cool that could explain the state of the galaxy in Halo universe and possibly flesh out some characters that they didn’t have the opportunity to in Guardians. I just feel like they have a good story they just need to find a way to execute it better and this would be the best time to do that.
The very next game won’t be a spinoff, either Halo 6 or Halo 3 Anniversary. Though I would like a game like ODST again.
If there would be a halo spin-off game I would love to see, it would be about the arbiter and his adventures in forming the swords of sanghelios.
I think they should finish off the main story (at least for now) before making a spin off game.

Haven’t they said they won’t be making H3A? I assume they’re hard at work on 6 and then maybe we’ll get a nice spinoff? I’d love a campaign like Reach or even a pseudo open world game. I just loved being part of the Spartan squad instead of being a pre named pre built soldier.

I don’t believe it.There’s too much potential for the game, and with perfect timing with the release of scorpio.

I agree. What I’m meaning is something like what Square Enix did with Kingdom Hearts for the last decade: They continued the story with a direct sequel (several sequels) without calling it Kingdom Hearts 3. 343 has a good story despite Halo 5’s campaign so they could easy take a step back and continue with the story with a spin-off or side game rather than jumping straight to the end with the next Halo.

There’s a lot of potential for them to push 6 with the new console too. I feel like they’ll definitely be like “oh man this new console is sooooo powerful, you can finally play a next gen Halo split screen!” At least that’s how I view it and considering Halo 3 was already re-read once I don’t see Microsoft wanting to spend more money just yet. But I could be wrong, it would definitely be surprise to see something like H3A get announced.

The life cycle for a Halo game is around 3 years. It has been 2 since the launch of 5, meaning H6 won’t happen this year, most likely next year. However, like the mcc before 5, and Halo wars before ODST, there is a release of a game right before a big instalment. Being the anniversary, of the best selling Halo game to date, I wouldn’t have thought 343 would miss this opportunity to rake in some more cash and players. Heck I’m prepared to buy an anniversary right now just for the achievements alone lol.

343 said they weren’t going to do it because of “diminishing returns” with the last Anniversary. Well, they released it apart of the MCC which was broken for a year and still has frequent crashes so I wonder why H2A didn’t sell well. What they should consider is making an Aniversary Collection: H1A, H2A, and H3A. Have the multiplayer work similar to MCC where some playlists feature multiple games and separate Ranked and Social. I think it would be a way 343 could respond to the MCC’s horrendous launch and please their fan base.

Frank O’Connor said they weren’t going to do a H2A. Look how that was wrong. Halo 2 anniversary would have sold just fine as a stand alone copy. They should of held off the MCC until a later date. If it worked then maybe more people would have brought it. Loads of people in the community want the game. If it makes 343 more money and brings them a good reputation then they should be down for an anniversary. Plus they can sell more mechanise e.g. clothing and mega contrux (which if you don’t know, Halo 3 figures are being released later this year, coincidence i think not).
I would like to see a halo 3rd person shooter with some blue cutscenes open world. That could be the bridge for the story instead of relying on outside media…

They could call it halo anniversary collection! Drop a win 10 and steam version. It should have forge with a custom game browser for h3A…
