Sounds like they really have everything worked out with the story, which is great. It seems like ONI and UNSC want the Chief to do something morally wrong, making him choose between what is right and what is necessary.

if it’s anything like Halo 4’s story then I am fine, obviously I want it to be better and preferably less depressing.
Well at least we have an idea of what the Spielberg tv show will be about and in what time period it will be taking place in. It’ll be great to see John as the main star in this tv show and to be able to follow his journey during Halo 5 seeing as the show seems like it will be linked with Halo 5.

It’s IGN, what do you think their review would be like? It’s usual bias with a hit of sell out.

Chief dying is a bit of a stretch. However, it is heavily foreshadowed by 343i that Chief will follow the same path as the Ur-Didact in that both of them will have been mind–Yoinked!- by the Flood.

Call me biased, but I will NOT accept a replacement for Chief. Partner, yes.

Depressing as in the storyline wasn’t perfected well in the game or as in it was sad because John-117 lost his companion?

I get worried when they start touting how far into Chief’s head we’re going to get when they were doing something similar before Halo 4. The campaign for Halo 4 was the first one among the major titles that I have been bitterly disappointed in.

I’m glad that the shows and games will be linked. I’m really looking forwards to see what they did with the shows because I thought Forward Unto Dawn was quite good (being made by Machinima instead of a full-on Hollywood studio).
