For a while, I didn’t know what a Thursday war was. Just thought it was a cool name for a war. But now, for those who don’t know, I can tell you that a Thursday War is a military training exercise where the army, Marines, Navy, any of them, have a battle simulation. They fire blanks and love to shoot missiles into the sea. For example, off the coast of Cornwall, England, there’s a Thursday war every…well… Thursday! They undergo (Very) realistic battle simulations while the nation is in a maritime state (No war with another country. I think Afghanistan is classed more as an Insurrectionist war.)
And as we all know, the Infinity multiplayer is all a battle simulation. So I was thinking if maybe the next book after glasslands has some strong ties with Halos multiplayer, which is actually a Thursday War.
Well Halo 4’s Multiplayer takes place around the time of the game and I would assume the book still takes place sometime before it but the concept is still pretty much the same. I would bet that some of the new Characters that will be in Spartan Ops will be introduced in The Thursday War.

The characters in Glasslands, like the ODST’s, Parangosky, etc. I think, will probably appear sooner or later in Spartan Ops.
With the way the events were playing out in Glasslands, things don’t seem to be steering towards “war simulations” as Thursday War denotes. I’m sure we might get a glimpse at the Spartan-IV training, but it might be in it’s earliest stages since the Post-War Trilogy is in the 2553s thus far and Halo 4 is in 2557.
Not sure why that is necessary, I think it’d be easier if everything was set closer together, but whatever.
