In the Halo Wars 2 Trailer the brute called the Red Team “little demons”, in the original trilogy the covenant started calling The Master Chief “Demon” AFTER destroying the Halo Ring Installation 04.
I think Halo Wars 2 is set after or during the human Covenant war after the chief destroyed the ring. Why else would the brute in the trailer call the Spartans little demons? The term demon wasn’t used until after the destruction of the ring towards the chief and maybe some or all of the covenant call other Spartans little demons.
Mostly everyone on the Spirit of Fire went into cryo sleep after the events of Halo Wars happened so it could be possible that HW2 is set way into the future.
Im sorry if this doesn’t make sense but if you get what I’m trying to say, do you think Halo Wars 2 be set after or during the human-covenant war?

This. Legendary ending had Serena waking cutter up saying they had a problem. She is a smart AI with a 7 year life span. Meaning that it takes place within 0-5 years after halo wars .
The only reason you still see the ship in 2558 is because the crew failed to scuttle the ship and it has been adrift, derelict for Almost 30 years
I am hoping part of the game takes place before Escalation and part takes place after. So excited for this! I bet most if not all takes place way before though. I kinda wish it would be mostly after 2558 haha.

All my theories and I completely forgot about the legendary ending. This makes sense. However, if Serina was able to achieve Metastability, the ability to live past 7 years, maybe the events in the trailer could be happening later? With all these theories, we may have to take in Metastability as a possible factor.

You almost can’t take it as a possibility. Let’s look at Cortana, She had 20 years of more advancement in the AI field if there was any advancement. She had access to a ton of forerunner technology and knowledge from Reach, to the Halos, to Requirm. If she went rampant bc she couldn’t figure it out in the 7 years John was in cyro sleep then Serina doesn’t stand a chance

Cortana having access to so much data would only make her rampancy worse, not help it.
We already have sources of UNSC AIs holding off rampancy for years. Loki and Mack on Harvest switched positions occasionally to give the other time to “cool down” in a sense and be operational again for more time. Both were over the 7 year mark, with Loki actually being the AI of the ship that founded Harvest in 2468.
Juliana on the Rubble was past her seven year limit, and was stable and functional in her duties.
It’s possible that Serina lasted long enough for Halo Wars 2 to take place post-war, by either managing herself to stave off rampancy or lowering her functional capacity to a more dormant state, potentially keeping her out of rampancy as long as possible.

I agree with this, it would make sense that the less functional stress, work, an AI has to go through or perform, the longer it may take to go rampant. Maybe Serina will finally go rampant in Halo Wars 2.

I was thinking the ship can be driven manually? I don’t think the crew has to depend on her all the time. So Serina could possibly as you said dormant. Some crew was not put into cryo sleep to keep maintenance on the Spirit of Fire I believe, so I don’t think it’s impossible to think some else was driving the ship.
It’s really weird considering that Jerome, along with rest of red team, left with the Spirit of Fire. So this could mean the return of the Spirit of Fire or they escaped the ship.
> 2533274793749599;6:
> Actually the Spartans have always been Demons. Thel 'Vadamee calls Jai-006 a Demon back in 2535 when they fought on the Rubble.
And Halo Wars happens 2531.
Thel is the first known one to call Spartans Demons, as far as we know, or rather, A spartan.
Another thing we can’t forget, the Red Plasma. Now I don’t really recall if Brutes in Halo Wars had Red Plasma Rifles, or even used plasma rifles.
But if we are to believe i343’s own Canon on the red plasma rifle, then it wouldn’t see the light until around the Alpha Halo event. Unless he planned it waaaay ahead of time.
So, do did Brutes have access to Red Plasma before the Schism? That’s something I can’t remember, or find, not that I’m looking very hard.

Jerome, Alice, and Douglas were with the Spirit of Fire at the end of the game.
Their appearance here really doesn’t tell us much except that it will follow the Spirit of Fire after its disappearance.

> If that last panel of Halo Escalation Issue 6 didn’t exist I’d say yeah but idk…
Come to think of it, that panel seems almost pointless. If all the crew of the Spirit of Fire is in cryo-sleep, then you’d think the single flood infection form would starve with the lack of sentient life to feed on. I wouldn’t think a flood infection form would be smart enough to open a cryotube or strong enough to break the glass, if that works since the contents of the tube are frozen. The only way for it to feed is if one of the crew had incentive to exit their tube. We’ll see how it plays out.
