So just thinking that do you think that will this be the finale for the new, lets call it a trilogy for now?
Just thinking about the soundtrack in the trailer which was “finish the fight” from Halo 3 and it just seems quite a big hint towards infinite being the finale.
They said it was a saga, so Halo Infinite will finish Halo 4 and 5’s story.
Are there any story threads to even wrap up from H4? H5 dropped most of them as if they never existed. I don’t see how H6 could be the end of a trilogy or wrap up anything started in H4.

If you count HW2 then it could be called a saga. So lets go with that then.

Maybe there could be a tie in with H4 & the books related to it with whats going on in H5g/HW2 during the game and finish the line as the story goes on.
Otherwise this could be somewhat a weird finale though i hoped that they wouldnt have continued what happened in H4 in the books since the games should be enough to complete the story itself without the aid from the books or other media.

HW2 doesn’t follow the master chief story, much like how Reach and ODST aren’t apart of the original trilogy.

The difference with those examples and HW2 is that HW2 continues the storyline to further in the future. Though surely its not a main game it definitely is a unique case. Not saying that it is included but what i meant that if you would count HW2 then the term “saga” wouldnt seem that weird.
Though it could be weird to call this saga if it only includes H4, H5g & Halo Infinite. But I dont think terminology matters that much at this point given the storyline is still unfinished.
i think they said at one point it will be a trillogy, but droped that again later. i honestly don’t know where they want to go. the threat from h4 still going are the awekend prometheans…
but at this point of the story, that there is so much depending on knowledge of the EU i want to use the word reboot? (*duck and running away, hoping not to get beaten to a pulb)

The terminology whether its saga or trilogy seems to be irrelevant since things have kept changing during past years.
And definitely the prometheans are still the thing from H4 as is certain thing from a book that is related to H4. I would just hope that if there is going to be another longer running storyline that they wouldnt just advance the story in the books.
And im not sure about if there will be reboots in the future but this game is supposedly set after H5g/HW2. So hopefully they will make this the final part of this reclaimer trilogy/saga and make it a real ending and not just some sequel baiting.

yeah, i know… things change. at this point i wouldn’t be surprised, if they keep making games with open end until it is not profitable anymore. they will find new stories and if not, they will make games like ODST and reach until they come up with a new one (which doesn’t have to be a bad thing)…
and you got me interessted with the 2nd paragraph. what thing from what book (haven’t read any and usually i don’t care about the books)?
the reboot thing was more kind of a joke 
. although i wouldn’t mind, bc of the bloated story with all the books and comics. if you only play the games, you don’t get much what happens in h5. a clean slate would be nice for once. on the other hand: reboots are seldom good and very rarely are even close to the qualitiy of the original.
but i’m 100% sure that we don’t get a reboot in the near future and thats probably a good thing (and maybe at this point it isn’t needed yet)

Well, that is one sad thing on this time with big franchises and sequels after sequels. It would be just nice to see a true finale for the Halo or Chiefs line at least that could be atleast somewhat satisfactory closure.
As for the 2nd thig, i put it in spoiler tag so be warned. Though its more of a comic book thing.
The didact has been composed by multiple composers being destroyed in Halo escalation.
So it could be possible that didact is still involved in all this created mess in multiple different ways. Something like he could be behind cortanas corruption or he could even use fake Cortana or fragment of Cortana as image that slows down Chief because instead of enemy Chief sees a partner which he hopes to cure. But those are just my speculations so dont think about those too much.
And definitely after this storyline is finished i hope books and other media will have their own storyline without such big involvement to games.
And definitely a reboot would have to wait for rather long time. Maybe like with the XCOM series and its reignition.
I hope it finishes the reclaimer/creates/Promethean story, I’m ready for a new story arc.
I think that it is the final chapter of the Reclaimer Saga, so it’s more like “Finish the Fight… Once more”

Thats pretty much what it could be if soundtrack is a hint.

Definitely seems like end of reclaimer storyline.
Then do you think the prometheans will be gone for good or at least take a break like the flood did?
Also hopefully this created business will be solved for good.

Hmmm I don’t think the Prometheans will be gone for good just because 343i did create a cool enemy, just fell kinda short, i dont think they’ll just throw them away. I think there’s a lot of room for improvement with them so I hope they’re not gone for good. I do however hope the created bit is closed.
Honestly, I believe Infinite is being marketed as somewhat of a fresh start for 343i. With that in mind I think it’ll be a “soft reboot” that ties up most of the plot threads in Halo 5 quickly without drawing too much attention to them. I think Infinite’s primary goal will be to “start a new fight;” possibly a humanity- flood war.
I wonder if Halo Infinite won’t open the door to multiple (Infinite) possibilities for expanding Halo’s future. Time will tell, but I’m pumped at the direction and investment being put into the new engine and Halo!

A pretty quick war then that’d end in the Flood’s victory.

Maybe it’s a hint that the fight against Cortana will be an on-going fight across campaign, spartan ops style game modes so even if we help the Chief get Cortana back to ‘normal’…the fight would probably keep going after to show the fight in sectors of the world…similar to how STO’s control modes work for the Voth so players would go fight across a big open world area to take back sectors, make temp defences for when they attempt to try take it back so like a mix of king of the hill, dominion plus daily events like finding hidden caches like vehicles around or hidden areas like on the level The Silent Cartographer, sometimes Flood infestations could happen…similar to State of Decay 2’s Blood Plague so I guess it would be a good way for Spartans to get infected, become a Flood.

I dont mean this as nitpicking but wouldnt that imply that the game after Infinite would be the fresh start given if infinite is meant to give us (hopefully) satisfactory closure to the reclaimer trilogy/saga?
And hopefully it is such a game and when they start the next game it will be like new beginning.

Eh, you can paint it whichever way you want it. I more meant that Infinite is a soft reboot in the way that it’ll probably sweep everything in Halo 5 cleanly under the rug while trying to do its own thing.
