What if Halo 5 plays like ODST?

There's not really much for me to go off here, but what if the Campaign for Halo 5 plays out like how ODST did? A hub world, with a variety of environments/plazas, atmospheric music in-tone to the emotion behind whatever plot the game has for us, as well as (depending on how the plot is), a choice in what mission we play in a variety of orders. As usual, there's a lot of rumors that get tossed around back and fourth, one of them being the return of Cortana or something along those lines. I don't want to go too deep into the idea, because I don't want to seem like I'm some sort of 'Follower of Halo' or anything. But to me, the idea of Halo 5's Campaign being like ODSTs actually sounds fun. I liked Halo 4's Campaign and all, but I found it too linear. Every time I played it, I found myself taking the same routes over and over again because there was nothing different any other time. Ex. [quote]Enemey 'X' spawns when 'Player' reaches 'Y'.[/quote] It was the same each time; no real incentive to play it again. ODST tried to mix that up a bit, but still fell into that cycle once you found the pattern. What this would have to do with Halo 5 is that the world would have to be more open and dynamic. Considering there's a wider range of opportunity to be explored with the Xbox One, I don't think this would be impossibly hard to pull off. A huge gripe I had with Halo 4 was (ironically) the amazing aesthetic to the environment. After walking out from the wreckage on the second level, all I wanted to do was explore, but the game was linear. I'd love to be able to explore more scenic routes than having it beckon me from a distance. It's just a missed opportunity IMO. [spoiler]If you guys are actually interested in this, I'll be more than welcome to expand it more. But until then, I don't want to put in a ton of effort into it, just for it to be shoved off because of some fanboy war thread.[/spoiler]
