Halo 5 people. Halo 5.
Chief doesn’t belong in spartan ops.
> Spartan Ops is 6 months after Halo 4. A lot has happened, and there’s no guarantee that John is still on the Infinity. And as Twomey1993 pointed out, the Infinity is huge. Its easy enough to hide a person aboard
True, the ship is huge, but why would they “hide” Dr. Halsey from chief? Do they fear they are going to run away off into the sunset together?
Good point, if anyone here has played Metal Gear Solid 2, seeing snake in the campagin as a NPC was AWESOME. Would be cool to see MC at least for a short cameo for one episode, maybe sniping as support for us or something like that

Officially, Dr. Halsey is dead. Only select members of ONI and the UNSC know she’s alive.
I honestly hope the chief can do something about halsey’s freedom. I am hating the way 343i have displayed her and palmer’s ungrateful stupid attitude.
I cannot wait for Spartan Ops Season 2 either, what with SPOILER ALERT Halsey working with Jul M’Dama against the UNSC and not seeing Chiefy and Cortana in a while…
In the final cutscene in the campaign, Infinity is back at Earth. That’s probably where Master Chief is. Halsey arrives on Infinity six months later after it returns to Requiem.
Future SPARTAN Ops episodes might be about who should be the SPARTAN Commander: Master Chief or Sara Palmer.
Halo 5 will be the continuation of the Master Chief/Cortana saga, as well as what will happen now that we know the location of all Forerunner stuff, and so does The Didact’s Hand.

This right here bugs me more than anything as to what the community tends to assume: 343i NEVER changed Halsey. She has been portrayed this way since Nylund’s books; Halsey has always had moral ambiguity and infamy surrounding her very existence. She has always been this way and is more interested in theories and ideas than her own humanity. In fact, her very exploration of her humanity is based on theories and ideas. Halsey is not and never has been a “nice lady” who deserved sympathy.
It’s just that, now that the war’s over, you’re able to quite openly reflect on her sour ways.
The Chief is not on Infinity.
If he were, Jul M’dama would be dead 2 minutes in Spartan Ops.

Can you point to me an example in the Nylund-era of Halo books that Halsey would’ve considered waving a pistol around and destroying ANYTHING Forerunner would be a good and logical idea like she did in Glasslands?

That was mostly the writer’s fault.
Still, she’s the same from Eric’s books in Halo 4.

343i approved of that writing and the impacts have been lasting. She acts just as irrationally in Halo 4.

She seemed quite fine with burying the Forerunner artifacts underneath Reach once she got her data out. And “quite fine” in Halsey tongue means “she didn’t sit down in the control room and say ‘over my dead body’.”
Halsey’s desperation and plight has been building up since GoO, First Strike even if we care to go that far back into it. By Glasslands, she’s spent the equivalent of days surrounded by Forerunner technology, and is finally starting to get a better scope of things; perhaps including their destructability.
She /is/ an irrational psycho by the time Halo 4 rolls around. Technology interests her and that’s it. Fixing, deciphering, and otherwise understanding technology interests her and that’s it. Her very thought process is just one big puzzle even on the emotional level. Her mentality has been cracking for the longest time-… am I really the only one who has read Halsey almost continuously and seen this progression of characterization so naturally? X) It’s not like Glasslands just went, “Oop, change in gears!” She’s been making this decline ever since the moment she hijacked Kelly.

So I guess I was just imagining her getting upset by the notion of Noble Team leveling the artifact before she knew what it was. Halsey isn’t stupid, it makes sense to destroy the artifact so the Covies can’t get it. There were no Covies inside Onyx, were there? As far as her mental decline goes, I get what your saying, but not really to the extent. It really isn’t about technology for her, it was about saving her Spartan-IIs and when she found them the IIIs.
Glasslands made her hate the IIIs suddenly and start criticizing nearly everything about them.

the only reason Jul showed his face is cuz Chief and the Arbiter are on shoreleave in Costa Rica
from my musings isnt Hasley a true “Prophet” of the deities of the Covenant? she could be a binding force to reform the Covies from the splintered factions they now are. Brute zealots and Elites fighting together again. sounds fun!

343i don’t need Halsey influencing the Elites to do that.
For all we know the Chief might be on Sanghelios negotiating with the Arbiter, to sort out the Storm Covenant problem.
Or he may be on Earth sorting out New Phoenix.
Who knows!!!
> For all we know the Chief might be on Sanghelios negotiating with the Arbiter, to sort out the Storm Covenant problem.
Chief isn’t a diplomat and his presence won’t make the Elites hate humans any less.
> Or he may be on Earth sorting out New Phoenix.
Doing what, sweeping ash?
> Who knows!!!
I think we can make a more logical conclusion that those.
We know there many, many forerunner worlds out there, and we know there are a half dozen-ish spartan II’s left. for all we know, chief and the surviving spartans are preparing the UNSC for the next push out to reclaim the galaxy as the Precurssors originally wanted and to eradicate any surviving flood threats; eg sterilising any remaining Halos that still hold surviving flood samples. We know the Storm Covenant is just a splinter group, what about the block they splintered from? we have to remember they still exist. Halo 5 is almost impossible to predict as there are so many possibilities for the story to use.
