Does 343 need better writers?

That was because there were a lot of people that used to play arena FPS back then, now twitch shooters dominate.

New gen players now think Halo gameplay is hard and games like COD and Battlefield are easier to pick up and play. That's not 343i's fault, matter fact in 3 years, they gave more to Halo universe than Bungie did in a decade.

You're right that there's more competition than ever, but that's just part of the equation. Halo has declined in both single-player and multiplayer since 343 took control. Halo 5's multiplayer was a step forward from 4, no question, but overall it's a mediocre package. 

And about lore and mythology: I'm just not interested. I care about how the game plays, not about which characters, races, and planets are important in novels and comic books. Yes, the storylines in 1-Reach are modest compared with 343's plot lines. But, for me, that's for the better. I'd rather have a simple story that gives me as a player motivation than a convoluted soap opera.

I think you just don't care about Halo story.

It's only convoluted if you don't follow it, the story leading up to Halo 5 was on every big gaming outlet and here on VGC Xbox threads.

Halo 5 story is quite simple compared to Halo 4.

And as for the multiplayer mediocrity you mention, I think you'll be alone on this claim. The game has grown immensely especially this year, with more modes ever added to a Halo game.
