do you think the Janus key will play an important role in halo infinite since cortana is trying to find all forerunner technology and use it ik that the Janus key is MIA at the moment but it would tie in into halo infinite story if infinite is continuing where halo 5 left off
I highly doubt it. Spartan Ops was considered a failure and they’ve pretty much tried to erase all reference to it. They killed Jul Mdama off at the end of the first level of Halo 5 with absolutely no fanfare whatsoever. 343i has stated that they made a mistake making the story reliant on players reading/knowing external media such as books and comics, so they’re getting back to the ‘classic’ Halo campaign and story.
Which means thy’ve more or less realized they’ve made a terrible mess of the Halo franchise and are probably going to soft reboot it with Halo Infinite, which most likely means dumping all the built up external lore (which I’m personally okay with, given I hated the fact that they explored the Forerunners, Ancient Humanity and all the space fantasy stuff from the Greg Bear novels) in favor of a more self contained and easily digestible story for the larger more casual playerbase.
I always secretly hoped that the Custodian was taking the Janus Key from Halsey because it was Cortana gaining control of the Domain. If she “took power” around the time of that event, then keeping the Janus Key out of humanity’s hands would have been a beautiful strategy.
Since Halo 5 made no sense…I suspect we could see the key again because there going to be looking for ways to defeat the new Covenant/Cortana, avoid them so the Janus Key maybe the only thing that may help tip the balance in the galaxy, may lead to helping the Infinity dodge the countless fleets hunting them down.

I always thought that in halo infinite that humanity will find the Janus key and get a guardian of their own to fight cortana

I think in this case just having a Guardian might not be enough. Basically there severally outnumbered so they have to be smart, to try not draw in too much attention.
