I think they have confirmed that the multiplayer Spartans are going to have an ongoing story. With that cinematic they did I am guessing they’re doing what CoD does where each seasons maps is loosely linked to a cinematic story.
How do you think this will work? Is it going to focus on the search for Zeta Halo which was where the Spartan Commander was going? But then she said she would be back and we don’t see her on the ring six months after that tutorial is set. So I am assuming she doesn’t find them.
Could the focus be more on the main Halo Galaxy or do you think they want to keep a lid on that and in the main campaign?
I reckon they’ll introduce a Banished villain leading their forces in the main galaxy and he’ll start attacking UNSC worlds. Basically introduce the Banished threat to the wider UNSC which would mirror what’s going on with Zeta.
I’m wondering who the Spartans in the trailer are?
The team that rescues the Commander when she’s young or the new recruits?
I am guessing those are meant to be Spartan 2’s since they have shields and it’s set during Halo 3. Don’t think they would be in as would overshadow the Commander as a character.
The new recruits are probably just meant to stand in for your Spartans.
The team that rescues the commander when she’s younger.
I assume they we’re S-II Mabey even S-III. there was only a small handfull of S-IIs during the battle of earth. so there’s a short list of who it could be and the MKVII was very experimental back then aswell so I don’t see how that armour could have been used at the time.
Maybe the training base will be attacked by the Banished. The player’s Spartan stopped them and got a lot of information. Then go find the UNSC INFINITY.
See I was unsure if the Infinity would be wrapped up into the campaign rather than a side story here.
Yeah they make a big deal about the base being hidden in its canon fodder article. So it coming under attack would make sense. I wonder if they’re going to sustain the kind of Halo 5 ambient areas where people are talking or if it’s mostly going to be cutscenes like CoD.
Hopefully they explain what the Banished in the wider galaxy are doing. I’d guess Atriox left somebody in charge and he’d probably be tasked with keeping the UNSC occupied whilst “the grand plan” continues on Zeta. Unless he has his own secret goal involving Forerunner tech or the Endless.
My best guess is it’ll likely either involve them looking for Master Chief and Zeta Halo since Installation 07 disappeared after the battle, likely pulling nearby ships and wreckage with it to it’s current unknown destination. Or, it will follow it’s own original story and possibly give us an entry point into the Multiplayer PvE modes that Halo has been lacking since it’s conception. We’ve had Firefight and Spartan Ops, but i’d like to see those and a BTB style PvE mode make an entrance.
Either way i’m sure it will be it’s own original storyline and i’m quite excited.

Hmm, maybe if they look for the Janus Key they can use that to locate Zeta Halo? 
What ever happened to the Janus Key?
I am not sure. I think there was a comic about it.

“With their aid, the AI regained control of the facility and barred Halsey from controlling it further. The custodian then took the Janus Key and pulled the Absolute Record back into slipspace”
So it’s missing in action.
