The story of Halo 5...it's a setup

Okay so when i finished the campaign in Halo 4 it pretty much blew my mind. However at no point in Halo 5 was my mind blown. I have a few questions…

  1. how did cortana survive? it is never mentioned
  2. what happened to the janus key from spartan ops?
  3. i am all for a good cliffhanger but the end of halo 5…i just feel like the story was just getting started at that point. so…
  4. is it possible this is just setting up for a mind blowing sequel?
  5. what about the steven spielberg produced halo series? will it tie in at all?
  6. is it possible we will get DLC campaign missions?
    i am overall happy with the gameplay but seriously what the hell happened to the story?

  1. A portion of the Didact’s ship went into slipspace and Cortana found the Domain. Never shown in Halo 4, but only in a form post two years after Halo 4 released.
  2. Currently a part of an arc in the Halo: Escalation comic, but it seems like that plot is going to go out with a whimper.
  3. Yeah, it just kinda fizzled out.
  4. Might be.
  5. No clue.
  6. Unlikely.

What happened to the story? It was lead written by the guy who wrote one of the worst Halo comics and one of the worst arcs in a Halo comic.

this helps a little but i am just sad that the story didnt turn out good

i am just really really hoping they are setting up for something big
