its kinda fucked storywise but they really needed to stop just abandoning storylines and resolving them in book and Extended universe content, like the didact dies in a comic, Warden eternal dies in a book, Cortana basically dies off screen and we only see a flashback to that at the end of the game and i bet that the whole harbinger/atriox plotline is going to be resolved via book shit because people didn't care for this supposed new threat that was "more dangerous than the flood".
People liked the banished but they just made them into covenant 3.0(storm covenant just got wiped out offscreen i guess??)) by getting rid of all their unique shit, half the galaxy is still occupied by the Created and Robots even though Cortana is dead but they never bring this up or mention the occupation in Infinite(yes i know zeta halo is currently isolated but you'd think they would talk about the state of the galaxy before the events of the game) The flood might come back but its currently relegated to a kill on site by all factions and is only ever mentioned in waypoint short stories.
