Why does 343's Halo saga feel so disjointed?

Why do I get the feeling this new Brute baddie is going to be killed off pretty quickly. Why does this game seem like a side-story to whatever is going on in the grand scheme of things?

>Goes back to another Halo
>When the previous game had giant planet robots assembling to unify the galaxy through crazed AI conquest.
Not saying 343's saga was going off the rails, but at least it felt like it was building up to something.

>5 managed to be so bad that people praise 4

That's gonna backfire with flying colors.

because not only does not 1 of these games properly continue from where the previous one ended, but each one incorporates more and more characters and plot points from the various comics, live actions series, novels, or spinoffs without even attempting to explain any of them for people who just play the regular games. also in halo 5's case, unless you read the books, you probably never even knew any other Spartan IIs were still around yet suddenly 3 of them are there alongside MC in halo 5.

>Halo 5 has a shit story and great multiplayer.
Hahaha
>Halo 4 has a strong story
HAHAHAHAHA

Because its made by inept morons.

Because the Story ended at 3, and 343 sucks at keeping it alive.

Because they have no idea what they're doing and never did.

Because of the backlash from each game they had to totally change gears and their vision making their last game seem like it's not even connected
See the Star Wars sequel for another example

Because it's nothing but wringing a cash cow for that milk. There was never any intent to make a good, coherent story out of this. Just spectacle and feel-good power fantasies.

>Why does this game seem like a side-story to whatever is going on in the grand scheme of things?
Because it is

343 is cliche and generic and SJW trash. Anyone who supports them shouldnt be allowed to play Vidya

Didact: Killed in a comic book because 343 handled the cricism of Halo 4 the wrong way.
Cortana: Does anyone know what the fuck is going on now? I don't keep up on EU stuff because it's fanfic tier.
Brutus McFuckface: I guarantee he'll die early on, and be replaced with yet another antagonist.

what happened to Cortana's face in 5? she was so hot in 4

4 was some attempt to make the story continue because Microsoft told them to
5 was a continuation while making "their" halo
6 is trying to fix all of the damage 5 did

I'm a halo fan and 6 has alot of ground to work on

Probably many cooks in the kitchen given a task to keep halo fresh, so they brought in ambitious chefs that modernize it. It became too modern lost its soul now the chefs have a task of bringing back some soul.

Because the 343 games have been soft reboots of each other.

Halo 5 basically threw away what Halo 4 set up. And now Halo Infinite is doing the exact same thing to Halo 5.

But H4 and H5 are not written as standalones but the start of a new saga. So what we've got are two introductions that never get followed up on. And HI will probably be the same.

newfig here so infinite is halo 6? there is 6 games in total?

>Halo 4 has a strong story and weak multiplayer
>Halo 5 has a shit story and great multiplayer.
I'm sick of idiots saying this, 343 did nothing great with 4/5. 4 played like shit and 5 had no fucking content.

i never got how the elites and humans friended up so fast when they were in a war with each other

It's because they assumed people had read the books and played the side games. They're basically bringing everything together into one unified setting instead of branching out all over the place.

I want to protect Cortana smile
