    Wonder how far Halo 7 is. Is it going to be 5+ years from this remake. So 10+ years from Infinite. I wouldn’t be surprised if they followed their times tradition of 4, 5, and Infinite where they hard swerve to a new major antagonist

      Halo 4 had some build up to its antagonist. It was like the flood, where the level introduces an unknown enemy force, and you have to fight until someone tells you why the force is trying to stop you, then continue to fight said force until the end of the game. The buildup fights only differ in tone: CE meant for the player to panic throgh fear, and H4 tries to make the player panic by having Cortana shout at Master Chief “go faster we’re in danger”

        I don’t know. It’s just the series has had no conviction post-Bungie so I bet on them throwing darts at a wall until they finally have an antagonist, while off screening the previous games antagonist, thats an immediate hit with gamers. Each games antagonist aren’t fundamentally bad, they just do a bad job developing them. 8 hour campaigns where they tease for a sequel and end up with a non-compelling narrative. 3 games in a row of that
