So, like many of you in the community I have been keeping up with the event in the halo universe since the first game. While I have enjoyed each game as a standalone the plot line armor seems to be wearing thin with the winter update bring old friends back to the series. The biggest problem that many are dealing with is the unfinished plotline fatigue. While we might buy the books or make sure we grab all the audio logs, over the course of the last few games there is a huge problem with how writers have basically blinded the community with cliff hangers that go nowhere. Below are examples that need to be address given what has happen.
The forerunner Guardians? (Prometheans Soldiers, guardians, Warden Eternal) We see a guardian in Halo infinite that crashed on part of the rings.
Halo Wars 2 ending. addressing red team, captain cutter and the new ring Anders has been on.
Factions of the covenant that are still left. status of the Arbiter, ext.
Plot lines that still need to be address. Bastion from the audio logs from Halo 5 guardians.
Trying to explain this to other has become somewhat of a nuisance. However, there is a youtuber with the channel Halo Canon that may help some of you who may be returning to the series after 5 or who have never played halo wars 2.
Going forward I hope they either address the 6 months prior to us playing as chief or follow up with some of the other spartan teams that could have track down infinity’s last location be it Blue, RED, Alpha 9 or Osiris spartan teams. As of right now the new Spartans that were part of the LONE WOLF updates seam bland at best. There is also no confirmation about other Spartans that we were forced to get acquainted with over the years. So, I feel that at any moment 343I could try to make these characters important again. The issue I have is if Laskey, Halsey and Palmer survived They would still be stuck in space for a good amount of time depending on if their ships had slip space drives. There is also no word on if we will get to meet offensive bias who in all reality could actually explain everything from the books to returning player.
The other issue I foresee is Just as the harbinger communicated with the endless at the end, so could aritox try meddling in the affairs time. Finally, there is something that has been bugging me and I hope 343 doesn’t take this series in this direction but I hope they don’t push reverse time travel onto the series. They can keep jumping a few days into the future because that makes sense for how the endless survive the firing of the array. I just don’t care for Atriox trying to warn his planet of Cortana Destroying it.
Also, Horvath went up spend and is MIA up spin on the ring looking for his fire team. There is still a huge area on the campaign may we have not been to so naturally one would think they would go one of a few places. 1 the control room. 2 The cartographer and 3 the library that stores that halo ring’s activation index key. As we know the ring is still slowly being rebuilt and thus these areas would still be an integral part of securing the facilities from the banish.
Id would prefer to play as a ODST in a dlc if they make one; unless they bring back a campaign in which your spartan gets shown in the cutscenes like reach.
Would like to hear other people thoughts on this because it feels like even after a year of being release the writers dropped the ball or have no clue about their own canon.
