Probably the best Halo content to release under 343... Er... I mean "Halo Studios" (which is just 343 wearing mustache glasses).

Halo 4 honestly wasn't that bad. They did also release the Master Chief Collection which was amazing for PC gamers.

Love the master chief collection, really accessible to download and play

Just wish they would add 5 to it even if it wasn’t well received.

5 was fun. The gameplay was way better than 4. The biggest issues, imo, were making 2/3 of the game "follow MC due to being vaguely suspicious" and bringing back Cortana, even though it was a rampant version of the original.

The positives were Evil Cortana was the best best villain 343 has had, the Guardians were a great replacement for the Halo rings, and the gunplay was fun again. Also, Warzone was awesome.

I will be starting MCC Halo 3 soon, BUT I'm getting impression I will have to put a stop at some point.

MCC is mostly okay, with minor bugs and differences from the original release now after they had years to update and fix the game.

But every release from 343 has been subpar compared to the experiences we got from Bungie. Unfortunately, Bungie decided to fire or bully people out of the company that were actually important to making such good experiences by the time Destiny released, so they have been going downhill ever since as well.
