>Unironically how did they manage to fuck up a franchise this badly? I don't think there's anything comparable.

My sibling in Christ, there is no franchise that is over 10 years old that hasn't been fucked up beyond repair. Gears of War, Terminator, Alien, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Tokien's Middle-Earth, DC and Marvel media, Wolfenstein, Mortal Kombat, Assassins' Creed.

Halo is NOT in a good place, but I'd argue it's not even close to the bottom of the list.
