I was thinking. They made a big deal about how the Covenant had finally fallen in Halo 5. Yes they could always introduce a new faction but it would be very difficult to do with the plot being the way it is.
Would they really only have the Covenant as allies? I don’t think so. Which makes me think that we will fight covenant enemies but that actually they’ll be the Swords of Sanghelios as we will be playing as a villain. I mean it looks like Halo 6 will start off on the elite homeworld. This would also keep the rule of no to killing humans although it would be novel to have this happen.
The benefit of doing this is that like the Arbiter it can give us a greater insight into what’s going on with Cortana and the Created. Admittedly they could do that like they did in Guardians and have Cortana constantly on Chiefs comms. Or maybe she’ll be a distant presence in Halo 6.
They can’t do a Promethean knight as they can’t talk so they would probably make you a more powerful and intelligent soldier varient. Since ancilla AI are the core of each soldier they could make it so its one of the human AI which joined Cortana. Again this would lend a more personal perspective.
Prometheans don’t have energy shields, so that would present a whole new damage mechanic for the player. Aside from ODST, which kind of did have shields (stamina, wtf), all Halo games have used playable characters with rechargeable energy shields. Soldiers have armor which when destroyed, doesn’t return (unless a Watcher helps them). So aside from creating a special soldier variant (which is possible but seems kind of silly), I don’t see how the Halo formula could be applied to Soldiers.
They could say that the armor can regenerate through nanite tech. I mean if the UNSC have it then te forerunners really
should as well.
The mechanic could work similar to regenerating energy shields.
Maybe Cortana makes a unique kind of soldier construct to fulfil specific missions that she either doesn’t trust or can’t rely on large numbers of regular Prometheans to achieve? Ie deal with Chief and other Spartans.
We re going to see new Prom types in Halo 6 so it’s not that silly that Cortana makes more powerful or versatile variants.

a playable Promethean character…that would be dope as hell.
I think it would be cool at one point, where we are given the ability to play as like Elites, Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, Prometheans and stuff. I think that if there was a mode like that it would be crazy fun.

I would hate it if they introduced a new playable character. All i want is to feel like a badass again playing as master chief. And im prtty sure the next game will be set on another halo ring, i saw the cut-scene showing a ring turning on after i beat the game on legendary.
Oh I can completely get that sentiment. Hated Locke taking most of the campaign. Dead weight. Plus as I said they could always end up just having Cortana be a very active presence in Chiefs missions to get across her perspective.
Well, I mean it could end up not being a new character? You never know.
