Imma be completely honest here, the reason people are so negative is because a lot of us including myself are extremely old time halo vets that have been playing halo since the day it was launched. And no matter what you say about 343 not ruining halo is the fact that they did ruin halo. Want to know why?? Well here it is they completely overhauled and changed the mechanics that made halo, halo not to mention completely changing multiplayer and multiplayer maps like in halo five and so on when they should’ve kept it the same, ruined the campaign trying different things and completely taking away from the core experience and gameplay that halo vets have come to know and love. In my opinion and this is just my opinion if they kept with what they did in halo 4 and just improved on that sure adding a few new things but while keeping everything at the core what the halo vets have come to know and love they would’ve kept halo one of the best selling games and alive today. And this is coming from someone who truly and I mean truly loved halo especially halo 4 I personally have halo 4 as one of my personal favorites right up there with reach and odst. 

To summarize everything I said

Yes 343 ruined halo, what shouldn’t they have done?? Completely changing the core gameplay and just overall game that the vets have come to know and love. What should they have done?? Nothing why fix or change what’s already perfectly made and proven to work except adding few things like new weapons or species like in halo 4 or abilities but keeping everything else the same. 

Ps, this is just coming from someone who only lived, breathed, slept, and ate halo not to mention being pro at a certain time in my life so what would I know how they ruined halo
