We spent Halo 4 and 5 getting invested into characters (Laskey, Palmer, etc.), only for them to have no screen time whatsoever in this game. Cortana is already dead at the beginning of the game, and we are just left with "echoes." I was expecting a similar story, but Chief and the Infinity, with all the characters mentioned, working together throughout the game on Zeta Halo trying to bring Cortana down before she can activate the Rings, or worse. Instead, it's working with a wannabe Cortana to fight some annoying brutes. The main one, Atriox, isn't even in the game, either. Just cutscenes. Halo 5 had an AMAZING ending, but this was just sad.
