Halo 4 had an intriguing, if somewhat impenetrable story. I was curious to see where it was going to go next. The character work between Master Chief and Cortana particularly was, in my opinion, a high point of the franchise. That shit just worked.

So what did they do? They discarded all of it in the next game and turned Cortana into a villain. Brand new plot too.

Then they discarded that, put Evil Cortana on a bus, and chased another brand new plot in Infinite.

The problem is that it never goes anywhere. Nothing ever gets developed. Nothing ever gets resolved. It's continuous reinvention without purpose or authorial voice.

Nothing had time to develop traction.
