"I haven't touched Halo 5 and Destiny is to blame" (Destiny)

I don't really see that kind of mystery opening up in Halo 5 even in the future because 343 answered all the questions, and didn't introduce any new ones.

It's not the same as it was when wondering about the Forerunners and their legacy, but there's still plenty of mystery regarding the Mantle and the Precursors. See this post over at HBO for a good discussion.

Personally, while I wasn't sure about it during 343i's Halo takeover, I actually like the direction they've taken the Halo story, especially as they start to focus more on smaller, interpersonal stories. I really like some of the political and ONI angles they've tackled since taking over, too. It'll probably never have the mystery it did during Bungie era, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I'm truly sorry to see that some seem to really hate Halo 5, as it has truly reinvigorated my love for Halo and makes me ridiculously happy. I wish more people enjoyed it, if only because most of my Xbox Live friends (which are folks from here, granted) are still playing Destiny.
