What I would really like to see is a gigantic war where it’s the UNSC-Sanghelli Alliance versus Jul 'Mdama’s Covenant, the Flood and the Didact’s Prometheans. The battle would start between the two opposing joint-factions, and then the Flood could just crash the party.
Just let that sink in for a bit…
…
How awesome would that be?!
Seriously, though. I’ve been waiting for a Halo war for a really long time. That cutscene at the beginning of Tip of the Spear on Halo: Reach had me really pumped, but then I was quite disappointed with the mission.
That would be pretty awesome! I’m pretty sure another huge war will break out sometime in the Halo storyline its just what will cause it is the question! I like the sound of another Human/Forerunner war.
To be honest, the Covenant Remnant factions are both confusing and realistic… I mean there are two definitively large ones… the Arbiter’s and the Didact’s Hand… however peharps 343 Industries should be really splitting there appearance, and definition to better establish the differences; weapons, armor harness, vehicles… and possibly even AI battle plans and game behaviours or strategies… which could be connected to their opposing allies, the UNSC and Promethean?

Large scale combat in Halo 5 would be a dream come true. The 360 couldn’t really sustain it (as seen in Reach), but it should be viable with the Xbone.
There really isn’t much of a practical alliance between the Arbiter and UNSC. There are diplomatic relations, but I don’t forsee any real military partnerships anytime soon. Besides, with what Jul and Halsey know about ONI, all they have to do is leak what ONI does and that alliance between Arbiter and Hood will snap.
