Doesn't that depend on what you thought of Believe? (Destiny)

The believe ads were based on the general marketing of Halo as a more somber, grim future. They highlighted the stakes of the conflict and were grounded in the lore of the story.
It fit the overall marketing theme and the feel that Halo 3 was the end of the series. None of this infinite sequel stuff (COD, I'm looking at you).

Destiny isn't the same, and isn't going for the same feeling. If anything it's more like Halo 2 marketing where Chief shows up to start the fight.

Note that part of the reason that Halo 4 and 5 seem so bad is the move away from the more grounded sci fi and military realism seen in the Bungie produced series. While the worst part of Bungies's games was the "Who can have the most heroic death" contest of Reach, Halo 4 discards all of humanity's strategy and tactics to put incompetent stereotypes in charge.

The armor designs followed, changing into something no different from any other future armored shooter.
