The 343 Industries era of Halo hasn't had the most well-regarded campaigns in series history. 2012's Halo 4 featured a half-baked new enemy faction, 2015's Halo 5: Guardians made some divisive narrative decisions and offered an uneven dual protagonist structure, and 2021's Halo Infinite was commended for feeling like a long-awaited return to the series' roots, but its pacing left a little to be desired.
