I propose a spinoff campaign oriented series of games in the normal 1st person halo style or other Styles (credit to Corruptknight for suggesting other types rather than fps either way I’ll be happy just do it). About arbiter getting to play as him only (coop could be implemented depending on game style chosen) and getting to see chapters of his life such as his battles and life before becoming commander of the fleet on the 1st halo ring and fighting the flood, after 2 and him allying with Johnson, and after 3 and his multiple battles and deeds and it doesn’t necessarily have to be from the halo games we know, just important parts of his life a game or multiple could be crafted from.
It’s cool in theory but I don’t see it working as a FPS unless it takes place during the Human-Covenant war. But then it’d be about Thel, not the arbiter (I know they are the same but it’s deep okay!).
I could see potential in a Telltale-esque game series since the Arbiter becomes more of a political leader and assassination target.
I wouldn’t mind seeing a Covenant focused spin-off game, where you’re fighting against the UNSC or something. That could give some cool variety to the series.
This would be the perfect opportunity to get rid of the abilities that have been plaguing the series for the past few games. After all, you can’t have Spartan Abilities with no Spartans.

Banished vs Covenant game. (I made poll about it sometime ago, there I told all things it could have).
All thing on Arbiter is the greatest idea. Playing as Arbiter only and be with the Elites keeping the peace with the Sangheilis, all Sangheili’s weapons only that be a real awesome game. You got my vote.

True true, it would take some playing Around to see what works but I would be happy regardless the type or style they choose. I just want this to happen in some sense of playing you know?.
Spread this around if you can and tell fans you know the more this gets spread around and the more attention it picks up the more likely it’ll happen. And all of you are super interested at least so it seems it’s something people would like. Thanks for replies and stuff, you got your own thoughts drop them in also.
Would be great.
But there’s a chance that Locke would be also in the story - somehow, 343 would solve this - and there would be 2-3 misson with Arbiter while Locke would have 11-12.
Yes! But have an older Arbiter as the main character (like Halo Wars) FPS of course, leading a squad of four highly trained Elites that you can command. Have one with a sword, one with a beam rifle, one with a plasma rifle and you with any weapon possible. And go through important covenant events like the grunt rebellions and recruiting the other species of the covenant. Now i would sell a kidney for!!!
Before Halo 5, I would’ve dismissed the idea on the spot. But now, I think it could be a good idea considering the mess they’ve created with Osiris and Blue.

Covenant Abilities; future of Halo! You got your Grunt Pound, Sangheili Charge, and Sprint! Lots of Sprint.
I think the idea of a game revolving around the Arbiter / Covenant would be awesome! Not only would it be a great way to appeal to fans, but I feel like they could actually go more in depth in terms of characters in the covenant, seeing as there aren’t really any actual characters who are Grunts or Jackals. I’d also be pretty cool if they could incorporate the Covenant’s history in a more active way, kinda like Assassin’s Creed-esque flash-backs or actually participating in these events instead of just hearing about them or gathering terminal info.
Plus, who wouldn’t wanna play as an Elite again?

Exactly, love arbiter and the elites. I played one on mp all the time just sucks bungee nor 343 has given them good cistomization. I feel Spartans have always had better.
