Halo 4-6 following the original Halo plot!

Community Halo Universe
1

I don’t know if anybody has picked up on it, but Halo 4, 5 & 6 may be following the same plot as the original 3 Halo games.

Think of it;

  • Halo 1 - Finds a forerunner planet, the Installation 04-A. In Halo 4, you find a Forerunner planet, Requiem. - Halo 2 - Accidentally discovers another Forerunner planet, Installation 05. In Halo 5, you accidentally find the Forerunner Planet, Genesis. - Halo 3 - Finds the Ark… …This is where it gets interesting.Halo Wars 2 is on the Ark and, timeline based, is after Halo 5, and after or before Halo 6. Remember the first trailer for “Halo 5”. Well, Master Chiefs visor was damaged which means it is after the events of Halo 5. The planet he is on in the trailer also looks super identical to the dessert in the Halo 3 mission, the Ark.
    In Halo 6, do they revisit the Ark? I think it is unlikely as they have already revisited it in Halo Wars 2. However, it resembles the Ark’s dessert. OR, in Halo 6, do they revisit Requiem, like in Halo 3, when they revisit Installation 04-B. This is where a lot of theories come in. If they do revisit the Ark, is the Guardian Cortana, A way to get to Cortana, or is it Mendicant Bias, a forerunner AI who turned rampant against the Forerunners. According to various sources, Mendicant Bias is the UNSC back up of the back up. Did they send Master Chief to find him? We will have to find out.

Anyway’s, I want to see people’s views, thoughts and theories on this… :slight_smile:

So pretty much like what Star Wars is doing with the original trilogy= the new movies?

Interesting thoughts. I like it, but it seems like they’re not exploring other concepts for the story to follow. However, location wise; there always has to be a planet involved. And also because this is technically the “Reclaimer Saga”, it’s centred mainly around the Forerunners and their artifacts etc…

When you said that in H6 Requiem could be revisited, that would have to happen before Spartan Ops as it was sent into the sun in the final episode.
Also, wouldn’t the UNSC (or at least ONI) know about someone going there prior to H4? Spartan Ops is described as the UNSC’s second time on Requiem.

I was just wondering how 343 would make another trip to Requiem fit in because it was sent into the sun.

Finding massive forerunner objects is something which has happened in every Halo except ODST. Even in Reach, we discover a massive forerunner object underground with Halsey.
And all the core story details are strikingly different, with Halo 4 having an individual villain who makes a lasting impact, and Halo 5 ridding one of the biggest remaining Covenant remnants changing the focus to killing the forerunners.
In the equivalent games of the original trilogy, You are a survivor of a lost ship who escapes to Earth right before its accidentally found by the Covenant. A whole new group of flood appear in Halo 2 who will then go on to become an even bigger threat towards the end of Halo 3.

11

There’s a lot of similarities or coincidences between the original trilogy and the Reclaimer saga.

Halo 4

  • Chief wakes up from CRYO on Pillar of autumn / Forward unto dawn - Chief repels boarders - Chief crash lands on a Forerunner world Installation 04 / Requiem - Upon landing the Chief is greeted with an amazing sight. Halo sky box / Requiem sky box - Chief is tricked by the antagonist of the game. Guilty spark / Didact - An ancient evil is awakened. Flood / Prometheans - Forerunner world is blown up at the end of the game - Had a casual MP. CE (EDIT: Compared to Halo 2) / 4Halo 5

  • 2nd entry has the most competitive MP. Halo 2 / Halo 5 - 2nd entry went through development hell. Halo 2 / Halo 5 - 2nd entry introduced a new playable character with a personality and quest against the Chief. Arbiter / Locke - 2nd entry added new villains to the series. Prophets, Brutes / Warden - A new monitor is added. Penitent Tangent / Exuberant Witness - 2nd entry added new mechanics the previous entry didn’t. Duel wilding, Boarding / Spartan ability’s - New playable protagonist was hated at first. Arbiter / Locke - Both games received negative outcry at first by many community members. - Both end in a controversial cliff hangar.

Prometheans fill that role. Remember that scene in Halo 4; Chief is in a dark, mysterious Forerunner room and the spooky Prometheans pop out of nowhere? Then they’re always popping out of nowhere fighting you and the Covenant (except for when they’re fighting with the Covenant, of course)? Not exactly the same, but they’re filling that role. Also, the idea that they’re composed humans helped … the Flood would essentially turn people into more Flood, so you’re killing what were humans, and the Prometheans being composed humans meant you were also killing what were humans as well. There are similarities.

CE is casual? Excuse me?

For 343i, robots seemed better idea.

I remember the video where Bungie showed Halo 2 gameplay, and the crowd were amazed by what they saw. Well Spartans ability’s not a big thing.
About the developement…well Halo 2 did better than Halo 5. I think they only care about the multiplayer.

I remember that video a lot of people were amazed. At the time Halo 2 was truly revolutionary in every sense of the word, I was mainly referencing Halo 2 sucks.com. As good a game as it was it still played very differently to CE which annoyed a portion of the community.

Not as casual as Halo 4 was but when compared to Halo 2 its a lot easier to get kills in CE, I’m comparing it as casual when CE and 2 were the only Halo games. Nowadays CE requires a lot more skill to play than Halo 3, Reach, 4 and 5.

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

18

They’re not copying anything, they’re just continuing to do what Halo has always done. There is only one game in the series (ODST) where you don’t fight over a Forerunner structure. Well technically the Ark Portal was involved but I attribute that more to Halo 3. We only catch a glimpse of it at the end setting up Halo 3. Either way, Halo has always been about Forerunner locations/technology and it will probably continue to be for some time.

Well, I remember when CE & Halo 2 were the only two Halo games (I was in college when Halo 2 released … so in Halo years, I’m an old fart, lol) and there were two sides to that debate … guess which side I was on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocyYwLCDyCU … wow, that video looks like it’s missing a million pixels.

Although, I will give Halo 3 props for at least making the AR viable in close quarters. In CE, at point blank range, the AR was still useless against the Magnum. Of course, by today’s standards, the Halo 3 AR is nothing compared to Halo 5’s. But just comparing the original three games, Halo 3 had the best weapon balance. CE & H2 were by far the worst offenders in committing the one-gun-game crime. That said, CE is still my favorite. That magnum may be unbalanced as hell, but it’s so damn fun.

20

I can see some parallels sure, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re just copy-and-paste’ing the story, like Shadow said - it just means they’re following a formula. It wouldn’t be Halo if we weren’t fighting @ Forerunner installations of some kind.
