It was stupid to introduce what was basically the freshest start Halo had in forever to return to the meat and potatoes of Combat Evolved and throw it in the trash. No mad Cortana, no attempts at making big romances and attempting to ape prestige TV. Just meat and potatoes good ol Cortana and chief doing shit. They blew it. They friggin blew it.

Halo competing with Fortnite would be a dumb decision if they ever consider it. The reason Halo is Halo is because of how tight the original multiplayer maps were toward the movement. You didn't need sprint. You just mastered the simple movement and the shield based combat made the use of weapons as tools for movement more exciting. And with eveyrthing basically attempting to be the EVERYTHING game, Halo should stand athwart and say, "this is what we're good at and we think you'll like it too." People yearn for that kind of experience. And they should give it to them.
