I see Bungie's trilogy as the first story arc, the introduction to the Master Chief. To which I agree, Bonnie Ross says, "If I had my druthers, we wouldn't have called Halo 4 that - we really look at that game as the start of where he's going." I see 343 Industries first [officially] Halo game, Halo 4, as the start of the second arc.



Halo 4 is also featured in the Master Chief Collection alongside Halo: CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3, with Halo 5: Guardians being the first continuation of the Master Chief story on Xbox One.



Because there are 7 Halo rings, I would like the numbering to reach and stop at Halo 7.
