A strong, well-developed Halo 5 (or a Halo 6 that the long-time fans/majority of players enjoy) will redeem the franchise in a fashion similar to how Revenge of the Sith made amends for the awful Star Wars prequel trilogy.I get your point, but bad analogy (ROTS is poop and "makes amends" for nothing). A better example would probably be Resident Evil 4, which changed up a well-established series and turned out being the most adored game in the franchise.
Revenge of the Sith was better than the other two prequels, so even if Halo 6 was better than Halo 4 and Halo 5 (and I mean NOTICABLY better AT RELEASE) then the franchise has been redeemed.
I used the Star Wars analogy because it is eerily similar how Halo and Star Wars have gone down the same path. Both franchises had an amazing near-perfect groundbreaking entry followed by an arguably even better second installment and a third installment that left the series as the king of science-fiction and blockbusters. Then they were both ruined by "spin-offs" (The Ewoks series and Reach) and poor "new" additions (The Phantom Menace and Halo 4).
Eventually the most recent and proclaimed "final" installment was able to set things straight, and I hope that Halo 6, at worst, pulls a Revenge of the Sith. At best, as you said, Halo 6 pulls a Resident Evil 4. Either way, it redeems itself.
