By now we are all buzzing about the E3 2013 Trailer and where Master Chief is or what he is doing…
(Part 1) Four Different Players for Campaign
Well firstly after the events of halo 4, Master Chief returns to Earth aboard the Infinity… and also in the book Ghosts of Onyx Kelly, Linda and Fred as well as Doctor Catherine Halsey are on Earth so all good there. So Master Chief use to be in a Spartan-II team, I think blue team, with Kelly,Fred and Linda… In my opinion I would like to see 343 Industries try to use John, Kelly, Fred and Linda as they each have great backgrounds and depth of story to each characters. So in other words…
John for 1st Player obviously being Halo 5…
Then a choice can be made by cooperative players to be either Fred, Linda or Kelly until all four slots are filled.
The other Spartan-IIs could either play out like MC or have a sort of skill in specific area… like Linda is the best sniper so aim assist or whatever… Kelly faster, agile etc. and Fred great with knifes, dual wield energy sword, knifes.
In terms of equality, I have thought this through just as much female players play halo and so why not have two main female roles as well as two male.
In terms of story MC has lost his sense of family and so returns to his previous one plus as the story progresses Linda, Fred, John and Kelly could discuss or reminisce about there days training/fighting together. Giving another in-depth part to Halo 5.
Plus also allowing 2nd, 3rd and 4th players to choose Spartan-IIs with certain skills would give the games campaign a real unique experience to it, when playing cooperatively because change tactics, game play, etc. thus giving players chances to repeat story.
Who thinks that the stances should have a more in-game effect… in other words say you chose assault stance and when you stance still in game or maybe press a button like an emote, your spartan performs his stance. Making a unique way that you could socialise in game.
Another customisation option that could be brought in could be an actual face to your spartan IVs, I mean the faces obviously cant be used in game due to well canon, graphics and rendering; but could be used before when loading maps or something like that, like the stance in halo 4. It couldnt be put in game… because A. the graphics and rendering would have to be processing even more seperate and individual avatars and the complexity would depend on how power 343i would want to take it, plus questions may arise like “in game headshot should cause blood?” and B. the canon wouldnt be accurate then becuase using Catherine-B320 as an example, for shields to re-generate full armour must be worn.
Elites and Promethean Knights for Matchmaking, I know Promethean Knights probably wont make it… but maybe a forerunner biological unit could, in future games we may see one in campaign and so would allow the canon. The elites should be readded because one it was an awesome change from being a spartan and also that when making machinimas could do covenant vs UNSC battles…
About the canon and matchmaking unit models. The separatists elites (Arbiter Thel Vadam and Rtas Vadum factions) have an allaince with the UNSC and spartans. So could maybe even serve in the UNSC or something like that… The other question is forerunner biological units, it states in various articles ie. Greg Bears Forerunner Saga, Various terminals and other books, that forerunners may still be alive and living away from the galactic centre of the Milky Way Universe. In addition not all forerunners were turn to prometheans or hated humans… Maybe 343 Guilty Spark finds the actual Librarian or Bornsteller Makes Eternal Lasting (Iso-Didact) leading a faction of life workers and builders who decide to rebel against the Ur-Didacts madness and the precurser/ flood threat (if they return) Making a united UNSC (United Nation Space Command), LLC (Librarians Lifeworkers Caste) or BMELBC (Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting Builders Caste), AE (Arbiters Elites)…
Lastly we need to see firefight make a return, yet also keep Spartan Ops. There should also be some changes in firefight. Like maybe taking a little form Gear of War 3 Horde mode, and add defences or more advance ordinace drops. I know ordinace drops came back in Halo 3 but imagine a pelican vehicle drop… Mantis dropping in or Warthog on route; or maybe a squad of AIS drop in “ODST squad head first into Hell!” And for the defences maybe automated turrets like dominion… or gates and doors with terminals like Halo 3 High Ground… Either that or allow people to forge in firefight matches…
They are delving into more important things than Halo rings. That is what is making Halo not seem like Halo 1,2 and 3.If they keep it more simple, the better. Plus, bring back that feeling of exploration (gameplay on Halo’s and covenant home-world and Earth.) Also, bring back old characters because right now, it seems like a parallel story to what should be going on.
Personally, this is Chief’s story and his mission. Other Spartans, I think, will ruin the mood of having to get Cortana back.

a great idea i think for the coming halo would be if they would possibly add a massive fight in one of the missions for the campaign. when i played Reach, the mission “Tip of the spear” i thought at the opening cut scene of the mission, that a massive fight was about to break out with vehicular warfare. but instead i found my self disappointed when you could only watch the fight happen in the back ground and not actually be part of the fight. just thought it would be a good idea.
that is true, Jul Madama did take Halsey but if you watch halo legends at all. in the movie, John, Linda, Kelly, Fred and another guy battle their way onto the covenant cruiser to save Halsey. I hope they do this for Halo 5.
343 Industries has many halo fans and supporters… yet that is not saying 343 Industries has the full populace intrigued like Bungie. Many fans still believe or are hating on 343 for how Halo 4 turned out. Honestly in my opinion 343 Industries did a great job with making Halo unique and fit there perspective giving it a new a fresh coat while still leaving the body of Halo much the same.
The campaign in Halo 4 perhaps was a bit short but the content, plot, graphics, sound effects and just pure awesome cutscenes were admired and found me wanting more…
The matchmaking was and still is a little buggy with host connections and lag as well as loud outs and ordinance drops, but the multiplayer still gives a fast paced first person shooter that feels and plays like halo.
The spartan ops was a great addition to the game but it lacked in level memorability as the levels were repeated often. Understandably though the level designers and team at 343 had to construct a new Episode every week and by the end of Season 1 they listen to fans and created more locations thus giving players a more for filling experience.
Anyway the expectations for fans is to obviously fix bugs, glitches, lag and problems above. As well as give new and more interactive weapons, vehicles, abilities, game play.
In my own opinion I wouldn’t mind seeing a spectre (halo 2) with seperatists elites and a prowler (halo 3) with brutes have a battle.
Or something like that.

Speaking on behalf of the Halo 4 community.
Okay so the composer was first seen in Halo 4 and was discussed in the Halo 4 terminals as well as in the Halo Forerunner Saga by Greg Bear.
A little background. So we all know the composer tried bridging the biological/ organic world and the digital/non-organic world to immortalize the forerunner race but the results soured and any attempt to return to the biological/organic world failed. The didact composed his Promethean caste of forerunners to counter the flood but he had insufficient numbers. So he tried to use de-evolved humans for their crimes against the forerunners, to fill his army. The results of the composer were digital and non-organic beings that had no morals and were ruthless with mercy, thus making it impossible for the composed Promethean to uphold the mantle.
So knowing that you would assume that the didact would use the composers on the flood/ precursors, (duh!) there all biological and organic. Therefore the didact wouldn’t commit his crimes against humanity and the Librarian, plus have sufficient numbers to counter the remain flood/ grave mind and Mendicant Bias. I hope they explain about why he didn’t do this in the first place…
The other topic about the composer is if it bridges the biological/organic world and digital/non-organic world then I’m sure there may be a way Cortana becomes half organic and half digital like a Promethean but opposite if that makes any sense…
I think the composer may work like this, this is just speculation though so don’t use me as a reference.
In other words:
-If the subject starts off biological/organic form it will turn it into a promethean which is digital domninant composed form with no morals.
-If the subject starts off digital/non-organic it will turn it into a (insert name) which is biological domninant composed form thus having morals. Maybe cortana comes back as a physical AI or something like we saw at end of Halo 4 when she touches Master Chief.
Any thoughts?

who would agree that halo needs all the vehicles we once had in halo 3 or atleast give us the vast majority of vehicles we could possibly use in the next coming halo 5.
Actually made another thread about all vehicles, weapons, armor abilities, perks in the new halo reclaimer saga and future games… I’ll give you the link.
