Why not try hard to be Halo 2: Part Deux?

Why isn’t Halo 5 Guardians trying to be Halo 2: Part Deux?

Why not just give in to the Halo community’s loudest voices?
Why not have the competitive pro circuit dictate all facets of gameplay and balancing?
Where did Master Chief’s green codpiece go?

Why am I the only one trying to get people to notice that Master Chief was wearing boots made of fur in the Halo Xbox One trailer from E3 2013?

Who’s going to lend me 250 bucks that I will never pay back so I can get the special edition of H5G?

Why can’t we all just get along?
