Thank fuck, hopefully if they do try another tv series or even a movie, they make it in the canon timeline and you know, actually good

I feel like non-canon CAN work, but with the main character being the Chief and not acting very Chief-like, it was doomed to fail from the start. Other Spartans could work. I mean, they made a new one for Dead or Alive, FFS.

ODST and Reach are 2 of my favorites and they are basically removed from Chief almost entirely.

They also ruined Soren.

Soren is an established character in the Halo universe and he's a tragic hero. His fatal flaw is emotional immaturity. He can't handle his anger and he loses everyone he loves as a result, eventually being easily manipulated by an insurrectionist into going AWOL. Also, he can't wear MJOLNIR because of his deformities and this is a defining fact for him because it meant he could never be a Spartan. It's why he's so angry.

So naturally in the show they made him a suave and emotionally intelligent pirate captain who loves his wife and son and who wears MJOLNIR armour that he stole when he decided not to be a Spartan.
