I don’t mean to be a downer, but graphics, art direction, sound design—these are largely inconsequential things if level design, mission design, multiplayer map design, gunplay, enemy AI, etc. are all inferior.

I’m sure 343 can pay lip service to classic Halo fans—that’s the easy part. Can the studio make a great Halo game? Based on its resume, I’d say no.

Have you played Halo 4? That was a great game and so was Halo 5 to an extent, just each game had weaknesses. 4 fell on the MP and 5 fell on the campaign but.. from what we have seen, 343 Have proven they can make a great campaign in 4 and a great MP in 5. They just need to add them both together and we have a true Halo game package.

Yes, I've played both. I thought the campaign in Halo 4 was decent and the multiplayer mediocre. In 5, I thought the campaign was mediocre and the multiplayer good. 

Halo is my favorite FPS franchise, and the original Halo is among my top three favorite games. I really, really want the best for the series. I just don't trust 343 to deliver.

And to be clear, I don't care if Infinity emulates Combat Evolved. It could emulate Unreal or BioShock, really. I just want a great game—and there are many ways to make a great game.
