so what do you guys think will happen in Halo 5 ? i think the game will focus more on chief and lasky and the storm covenant.
Wow… not a flame thread about MP!
But I hope that Halo 5’s plot will give us an entirely new planet to explore, but I have the feeling that we’re going back to Requiem. I hope the Arbiter returns, and there’s just a bit of exposition on the Precursors. Not a lot, but some.
I think some of the story will involve the Sangheili conflict and hopefully see Thel Vadam.

well i enjoy mp so no hate from me 
Posted this before on some other “What will happen in Halo 5 thread”
I think it would be really cool if that the unsc, after seeing the power of the Composer and the Didact, would go farther into the mysteries of forerunner technology and then by either some accident or wanting to go farther and ignoring better judgement they summon or bring back the Precursors. Seeing now that the Forerunners are gone they think it will be an easy fight. But now Humans have taken the mantle of the Forerunners as Guardians of the Universe. Using Spartans with advanced armour made out of a combination of mjolnir and forerunner tech they bravely confront this new foe.
This would also give a great reason for the Sanghelli to join with the UNSC, caught unaware by the Precursors during their civil war they come to the UNSC to test the strength of there alliance started at the end of Halo 3. It would also allow for more Pelican and Broadsword type levels as this would be a full out war. There would still be the one-man army levels that Halo is known for but now it could also have much bigger battles on larger scales, allowing for actual war strategies to be implemented by players. You could head over to stop a Heavy Assault but then have a infiltrator sneak by you seaking to destroy one of your artillery units. While all of this may take a lot of time to get right I believe it would be worth the wait. Think of all the possibilties now that the Sanghelli are with the UNSC, hybrid weapons, Sanghelli warriors with modified Mjolnir battle suits, multiplayer where everymode you could choose to be Sanghelli or Spartan since they would be able to train together on ships like the infinity. So what do guys think? Does it sound awesome or do you just think I’m delusional and this would make the worst Halo game ever?

Indeed, hopefully they don’t get thrown under the bus again.
With that said I can only guess it would be set a short time after the last spartan ops mission, storm are actively working with prometheans, Sangheili (and presumably they will also have the same client races with them) will be working with the UNSC, presumably the campaign missions with center on chief and Thel where as multiplayer will focus on spartan 4’s and zealots/commandos.
What they could do in multiplayer is to allow race under customization, but also sort of ‘class’ such as when play as a human you can choose former SII, SIII, or marine/odst and then as an elite you can choose Zealot, Spec op, or Fleet op to basicly get counterparts for eachother.
The multiplayer maps will probably take place at a number of locations such as human and covenant planets to the primary forerunner location(s).
I’m guessing that story wise we’ll have chief dealing with the storm and prometheans and possibly insurrectionists (though its unlikely, depending whose in charge they might feel that it would turn people into murderers >.>) whereas Thel would be dealing with the storm and prometheans aswell as possibly more diplomatic missions dealing with uniting sanghelios.
However what 343 might do instead is have us play as a new Sangheili character (again probably a zealot) and then we could have lots of internal conflict between old beliefs and new which a zealot would be perfect for (Or we could see the return of Usze and N’tho).
Though one thought which is mainly wishful thinking I’ve had for a while is to take a bit of a battlefield scale to things in multiplayer, a combination of dominion mode and invasion along with massive scale maps would be awesome, and I think it would give justice to the scale of war that is (and has in the case of the previous games) happening, and I believe a spartan vs elite or even mixed spartans and elites vs (again) spartans and elites would be awesome.
Things I want to come back:
- Another Halo
- The Flood
- Arbiter (preferably as playable character like in H2)
- Didact
Remember that the Precursors are a Tier:0 on the Forerunners tech scale and they could travel to other galaxies. So maybe the Precursors are alive, but just in a seperate galaxy…and they might appear in Halo 5 near then end perhaps. The Flood’s final “Tier” is Trans-Galactic and have been confirmed to be not of this galaxy, so they might pop in near the middle. Halo 5 is supposedly the “dark age” type of the Reclaimer Trilogy. So having a Trans-Galactic Flood pop in during Halo 5 might force a Loose Alliance between The Didact, Humanity, Sanghelli, and Storm…it’s just an idea though. Also on a side note, I think the Precursors and Flood are similar to each other, it’ll be interesting to find out The Floods origins, besides knowing they’re not of this galaxy. I also want to know which Didact was encountered, The Ur-Didact or The Bornstellar-Didact…pretty sure it’s the Ur-Didact.
Halo 5, 343i add a ‘good connection’ search filter for multiplayer, everyone lives happily ever after. Oh and the Chief honks a warthog horn at some point.
I think Cortana will return as she was in the end of the game, life sized energy. only she will be alive.
I saw two different people on here yesterday who were claiming that Cortana will return in H5 as a human… Due to some random effect of the composer. I have my doubts but I would like to see it. Both she and MC need to get laid. Gap toothed baby chiefs in H6!
In Halo 5 my number one request is BRING BACK ARBITER AS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER.
with cortana gone (most likely just for now) it makes sense to give chief an old companion to help him out. This would be a much darker game with chief discovering his humanity. The flood would most likely return along with the didact. Theres no way the prometheans are gone after 1 game. The covenant would join the didact as the prophet of truth was kinda right. This would make the truce between the covenant and humans void.
Infinity would carry out its mission of visiting the other halo installations (as stated as its priority in Halo4). In a longer campaign we could potentially see multiple halo rings as there are many remaining. Chief and Arbiter withe the help of infinity must attempt to destroy the rings while didact and his covenant/promethean forces try to stop them. Didact realizes the flood is to dominant so the only way is to activate a halo ring to wipe them out.
CORTANA WILL NOT RETURN IN THIS GAME. They should leave her out of Halo5 and focus on developing chief as a person and show his struggles without cortana.
It would be chief and arbiter with arbiter either with chief all the time or a halo 2 type play where theyre separate and you play as both every other chapter. Or a dead space 3 type approach could be cool. If you play as single player you play as both separated like halo 2. If you were playing coop the story is slightly different and theres seemless dropin dropout coop withh player 2 being the arbiter
towards the end of the game there could be cutscenes with Dr. Halsey that foreshadows her return or at least gives chief hope and a way of bringing her back. we all know cortanas not gone for good i just think they should leave her out of halo 5 and wait til halo 6 in some desperate times to bring her back
Maybe arbiter dies towards the end leaving chief in even more distress after building a strong friendship throughout the game.
These are just ideas but they must bring back arbiter they cannot bring back cortana until halo 6 and they should go to more halo rings.
b
Chief blows stuff up in a hornet
I think Halo 5 will be focused on the Janus key and and the covenants search for “reclaimers”.Heres why
-On episode 9 chapter five when looking for halsey are spartan’s come across a data pad which contains elite dialogue on there hunt for Human reclaimers to operate forerunner technology.
I could see Halo 5 having A 1960 space race arc with The Janus key’s and vietnam POW feel with the covenant hunting for reclaimers.
> so what do you guys think will happen in Halo 5 ? i think the game will focus more on chief and lasky and the storm covenant.
343 already announced that Halo 5 will be darker than the other games and will also reveal Master Chief’s entire face.
It would be cool if the Brutes return to power and start their own Covenant empire. Not only were they lots of fun to fight in previous halo games (even though they destroy me in halo 2), but I would love to see how 343i would visually depict them. If they can make grunts look fierce, imagine how intimidating the brutes could look!
Blue team needs to be in Halo 5 too.

It’s a well known fact that -Yoink!- time for chief is banned.
He kills things instead.

Wait they confirmed John’s unmasking for Halo 5? It this just a rumor or is it official?
