They wont. As a dedicated Halo fan myself I can safely say they wont. They wont destroy the trilogy over 1 average Halo game. There were rumours going around about two Halo games being developed, one being a Reach styled game while the other is Halo 6. Halo Wars I believed is dead however there were talks about a Halo Wars 3 game including Space Combat missions. 

I know they won't. Really the only point of discussion is what order the two games will release in. If the spin-off comes out first it becomes a question of whether it is totally unrelated to the Forerunner arc or if it ties together 5 and 6. And the answer to that will potentially dictate what kind of game it is (classic Halo or enhanced mobility). 

And it's also unfortunate that Halo Wars 2 panned out the way it did sales wise. I'm still planning on getting it eventually and I know I'll enjoy it. They seem to have done a great job establishing the Banished as a threat and many are hoping they play a big role in Halo 6. But the worry becomes balancing that with the Created threat and potentially the Flood returning (as well as rumours of the Didact being behind the scenes of Cortana's corruption in the Domain). It just seems like way too much to tie together in one game.

I enjoyed Halo Wars 2, very underrated game. Its main gripe I believe is the restrictive game play which was introduced in Halo Wars 1. Halo Wars 2 offers a great backstory for the Banished and set-ups the flood perfectly. Also its cinematics are top of its class and well worth watching just for the CGI scenes. Reminds me of the best of the Halo days. 

I recommend trying it out at least before the next big Halo release.

As for Halo Genesis, I really wish it goes back to the dark days like Halo Reach was, where its more a pre-qual and a impossible mission. Strangely enough my 2 favourite Halo experiences came from Halo Reach and Halo ODST. I just loved the dark story plots in Halo games. Halo Wars 2 is similar with its plot, well with the flood introduction anyway.
