A better Campaign Story
I started working on theories by the second mission. I most certainly feel that Halo 5 will be viewed in the same light as Halo 2 once the next game or two comes out. After Halo 2, people were confused, pissed about the arbiter, blaming a weird meandering story etc. But one we played Halo 3, there was an “ahhhhh” moment. Halo 2 is now remembered in greatness by most (from what Ive seen) as the best campaign. Personally, I feel that the story in H4 was the greatest yet, but I am open to be persuaded to Halo 5 upon further story revelations in future games.
Its also needs to be noted that no one, from what I saw, predicted anything close to what we saw in H5. So after a curveball like that, it may be prudent that they will throw another in the coming games.
I have played the game a couple times before writing anything, and here are my ideas.
According to Waypoint, the research scientists at Argent Moon (second level, first with Chief) the scientists died after a biological pathogen was (accidentally?) released. The way the agent worked was that it would saturate a population, not manifest in any way, but could be triggered at will by some means (like a remote). Now, to me, this sounds very similar to how the flood were dispersed and infected their initial victims 110,000 years ago. The humans found some weird substance, started experimenting with it on their pets (which they also would consume). There were no side effect. Suddenly, years later, everything hit the fan and these organisms evolved into the flood.
Maybe this is some form of the flood that Argent Moon was working on? Or if not that, perhaps a foreshadowing of the repeating of events we saw happened millennia ago?
Now why do the flood exist? They were some form of punishment (some say that the flood is a form of the precursors themselves) that the precursors inflicted upon the Forerunners. The Precursors made all known species. They originally intended the forerunners to bear the Mantle of Responsibility. The Precursors decided that humanity was better fit, and moved to erase the forerunners. The forerunners rebelled some 10.1 million years ago, nearly wiping out all the precursors. The flood was the forerunners penance.
Now, the humans were first afflicted with the flood. But, through a series of events, barely overcame the flood. Perhaps this was the precursors testing human resilience to see if they were capable of bearing the Mantle. Now in the Forerunner Trilogy, it is hinted that maybe the flood stopped messing with humans, not just because of human military tactics. The Forerunners started fighting humans, then humans and the flood, then subdued humans and the flood, and the flood withdrew. This may be evidence that the precursors were affirmed that humans were able to handle the flood, but underestimated the Forerunners ability to do so as well. So the flood withdrew. 10 000 years later, the flood come back, the forerunners annihilate themselves and the flood.
Now its 2553. The humans are essentially reborn to a similar set of conditions they had millenia ago. Humans beat the Covenant. This parallels their fight with the insurmountable Forerunners millennia ago. But this time, Humanity succeded! Humans are once again tested with the flood. Now this is similar to where the forerunners were 100,000 years ago. But they succed against the flood as well without killing themselves off utterly. They are becoming a major galaxy power once again. They then beat the toughest forerunner known, the Didact.
(This is where things kind of get choppy, I don’t know how the flood returning a FOURTH time would progress the story, but that Argent Moon seems kind of important. I cannot think of another mission in any of the games (please correct me if I am wrong) where NOTHING happens. There is always some point or reason that it is included. So it is difficult for me to take Argent Moon at face value. There has to be more significance to than just a random mission blue team is on.)
Continuing on. Halo has put continually more focus on the roles of AIs. This is significant. In a way, humans and forerunners are to the Precursors as AIs are to humans. The Created. The first bearers of The Mantle of Responsibility was the Precursors, and it was forcefully taken by the created. Succesfully. So the ultimate, final test of humanity before they can take on the Mantle, is to overcome their own Created. Even the Precursors were unable to complete this task (as they were basically wiped out by their own created, the Forerunners).
So now humans have accomplished a great amount of things not done before. But at the end of Halo 5, they are arguably more screwed than at any other time in all of human history. NEARLY ALL AIs have abandoned humanity, actively working against it (from human perspective). If everything else I wrote is completely wrong, at least this is true: Humans are more screwed than they ever were in the Covenant War. AIs are integrated into every conceivable system. Too fight against a network of computer intelligences that communicate at superluminal speeds who are additionally backed up by forerunner Guardians, what hope can humanity have? Only once AIs are successfully contained or destroyed can humanity receive the Mantle of Responsibility, doing that which even the Precursors could not do. The ultimate rulers of the Galaxy.
I want to see a Precursor, maybe a Gravemind in that form as a huge boss battle.
Hmmmm, definitely more play time as the Master Chief, and bring back the flood in some aspect. As for multiplayer, bring back spiltscreen/Forge being in the release and not updated into the game later, nerf the BR back to it’s Halo 3 variant(that’s my opinion of it, hate me if you want). Other than that, can’t think of nothing.

H5 is dead already so why not talking about H6? Its going to be H5 + wallrun - so the same crap again but people buy it anyway.
I was thinking, during Halo 4 , we learn about the Forerunner / human war, from this was born the forerunners greatest general so to speak, the didact, who lead the forerunner armies. Then we find out he was a bit pee’d off that the Forerunner council type people would not let him totally wipe out the human race, to which he decides I’m going to give it a go anyway and ends up getting locked up for his troubles. At the end of Halo 4 the Didact says he has put something in motion that cannot be stopped (this is not a direct quote by the way, just what I remember lol), then he falls into the composer beam, which I think we found out was originally invented as a way for the Forerunners to transcend flesh and bone, but it didn’t quite work as they thought, so now the Didact was using it as a weapon against humanity. Then in Halo 5 we learn that the Warden Eternal is actually not an AI, so that got me thinking, I bet he is actually the Didact, because he got composed when he fell in to the beam, (for me the Didact was not around long enough for his stature in the Halo story so I am thinking he must return at some point). Then there is Cortana, she infected the Didacts systems in Halo 4 so I reckon the Didact has corrupted her view on humanity and he is going to use her to finally wipe out the human race. Why else would the Didacts ship go to Genesis when he was killed (supposedly). Why Cortana you ask? Because she has so much influence over there Master Chief, and as we have previously found out in previous Halos, the Forerunner technology is geared to work for humans only, a safe guard which I think was put in place by the Forerunners to stop the Didact from using it against humanity, just in case he ever escaped his prison and try to wipe them out again. As you know from the Halo 5 campaign, Cortana uses the Master Chief to get that funky looking building to work and make her more than just an AI. So I am betting in Halo 6 Cortana will find out she has been used by the Warden External / Didact to set in motion the destruction of the human race and she will see the error of her ways and team up with the Chief to stop it happening, giving us a new enemy to take the place of the covenant and the flood. But that’s just my thoughts, probably not even close lol.

I was thinking something very similar to this, excellent theory I just feel the precursors will come back as well along with the flood and forerunners continuing all story arks. So it’ll be something like a 6 way war for the mantel.
Yes reskin Halo 2 and call it Halo 6 cuz h5 is just sad
