Halo is my favorite game series (even with the shit job 343 did with 5 - I still love it). I am currently on my 9th play through the series - playing through the whole series with my son for his first time! The lead writer for bungie and other employees that made them what they were, unfortunately left because of BS that went down before the launch of destiny. The grimoire & part of the story you got was from them, but the story was so chopped up and horribly redone that what was left was too difficult for their current crew of not very talented writers to fix. In comes the "properly exiting out" of character by killing them off at the beginning of D2 or just saying "their story has been told, the end" without actually explaining anything or expanding. I love playing destiny, it's a lot of fun, I am excited for D2, but I completely gave up on the "story" side of it after playing through the original campaign & knowing that since staton left, we will never get the destiny we had once hoped for Edit: pick up a used Xbox for cheap, the master chief collection, & a copy of halo: reach for the 360 (playable on xb1 or 360) if you get the chance - they are all old enough you can get them relatively cheap used and it's definitely worth the cost!
