I for one miss fighting on Halo. I didn’t mind Requiem… but this game is called HALO.
The only Halo that offers anything to the story is Installation 07, but even that lives in the shadow of a much more significant Forerunner world: the Ark.
Let’s not visit Halo’s for the sake of visiting Halo’s.
If it makes sense with the story, than sure. I wouldn’t want 343i to throw one in just for funsies.
Limiting the expansion of the story just because of the title isn’t a good thing.
It can be a Halo game without having a Halo. I’d like more multiplayer maps on Halos, but we should only visit a Halo if it really adds something meaningful to the story. We’ve hunted a Cartographer twice, explored a Library twice, assaulted a control room thrice, etc. We need to find something unique on a Halo if we are to go back to it.
The Halo we are most likely to return to eventually is Installation 07. It has the most history and could contain information about a lot of the secrets of the Forerunner-Flood War.

This is pretty much what I had in mind.
> but this game is called HALO.
I suppose we should change the title of the series, then, considering that we are exploring other locations aside from Halo rings?
We don’t need to be on a Halo ring, unless the plot demands it! Installation 07 is fine, but then what? Should we stay limited to halo rings again? I think not.
I heard rumors we may be visiting the home of the Elites? I think that would be cool.

Yeah, Sanghelious is very likely looking at the concept art and story direction so far.

There’s more to it than just HALOS.

What’s Sanghelious? 
But yes, the Ark for MC and Sanghelios for Locke.
It’d be awesome. I’d like it.
People obviously tend to forget that no Halo looks like another,
they’re different in Size & Environment.
Everything else, story-wise, if it is “interesting” or not etc., is up to the writers, not the places.

I completely agree
I think it would be cool if we visit a Halo to take down a terrorist group that is based there and has some tech we need or something.
No point in having hte whole game there though.

A pretty little island on Sanghelios.
Just because the name is Halo, doesn’t mean everything must be ON a Halo. The entire Halo universe revolves around the Forerunners and their technology. Everything you have seen connects to their plan to save the galaxy 100,000 years before CE. Even Requiem, if you ever read the Forerunner trilogy, was designed for the same reason as Halo: to combat the Flood.

Fix’d
I never said anything about the whole game taking place on Halo lol I just want to go back to playing on Halo. Blow some -Yoink- up, rescue an important person…

And I never said you did… All I’m saying, it’s a big galaxy, and it is FULL of Forerunner tech… Not just the rings. As awesome as they are, though, their usefulness to the story line pretty much ended when the Flood threat was terminated. Now, I grant that it might be needed again, as the Flood does still exist.

- I thought you were implying that I meant the whole game should be on Halo lol
If the Flood do come back, that would be pretty sick to see on the new consoles!
I would like to visit other planets… maybe even go back to Earth?
Requiem kinda bored me.

I think the Reclaimer saga would be better off if we don’t have our battles back on Earth.
