Of course we have seen Sangheilios within Halo 5, and unless we get more updates like the Warzone Firefight update we will not be seeing much more of the planet.
My overall question is however would everyone enjoy seeing more of Sangheilios? When I say this I mean various cities, how civilian life is handled, farmlands, day to day life of the Sangheili. We had non-combat zones within Halo 5, and whether you personally enjoyed it or not it opened up a new concept for people just wanting to take in the environment. In which case if non-combat zones made a return in Halo 6, what would you like to see on Sangheilios?
I say I have a single question then I end that paragraph above with another question. Damn it me, damn it.
We have seen enough of the Sangheili. We have tons of lore on the subject, and it is now a beaten horse. We need to see more Brutes. I am more interested in their current situation than anything else.

Actually we haven’t seen much. We get a lot of content sure but they always share it with someone else. We need to know what happened during the Blooding years. Who controlled what, how large the factions were and what battles took place as well as how they affected people.
The Brutes, Kig-Yar, and the other Covenant races also need more spotlight.
The problem with the current novels is that most are UNSC and Insurrection focused with this plot never coming into fruition for the past 16 years. Initiation, Escalation, New Blood, Last Light, Mortal Dictata, Hunt the Truth and other stories are about Innies with nothing done with this plot.
The Sangheili so far have:
flood: shared with humans
ghosts of onyx: shared with humans
broken circle: shared with San’Shyuum
Cole Protocol: Shared with humans
Kilo-5 shared with humans and Kig-Yar
Shadow of Intent: shared with San’Shyuum
Hunters in the Dark: Shared with Humans
every single comic : shared with humans
The Duel : Sangheili exclusive
The problem with the fiction isn’t the emphasis on Sangheili. It’s the emphasis on humans and stories used only to promote game characters by serving as backstories. The species of the Covenant should get more focus than humans if the universe is to expand but this won’t happen. The stories the fan Base is interested in are human focused and to a lesser extent Forerunner focused. The majority of the fan Base has put the Covenant species aside and thinks of them in the following way:
Sangheili: stupid warriors
Yanme’e: bugs
Lekgolo: worms
Unggoy: cute, oppressed, must be used for humour
Jiralhanae: stupid carnivorous, man eating Brutes
San’Shyuum: manipulators
Huragok: Did everything in the Covenant, must serve humans.
Kig-Yar: Untrustworthy thieves
If you look at the Q&A submissions for Canon fodder there are more people that care about UNSC firearm designations than what happened during the Great Schism on High Charity.
It’s a shame that people care about nothing other than the UNSC but we have to simply deal with it. At least we are getting the Banished in Halo wars 2 and a Jiralhanae architectural style showing that not all Brutes are stupid primitives.

Well I mean we’ll probably start the campaign on Sanghelios since the only three possibly playable characters of the game (Locke, Chief, and Thel) are kind of stuck on the planet since the Infinity had to ditch. I would love to see more of the culture or Sangheili wearing more ceremonial armor belonging to certain social classes. I’d also like to see Ancient Temples in luscious forests, like in the beginning of “The Duel”.

I doubt that will happen. Sure halo 6 will be set on Sanghelios partially and most probably we will visit Vadam Keep and protect it from the Prometheans like in Halo 5’s cover art. Then we’ll probably go to stop Cortana’s halo. As for the playable characters it’s either gonna be chief and blue team only or both fireteams like in Halo 5 but with an emphasis blue team.

I just enjoy the thought of seeing more of Sangheilios, such as what we have seen in the novels.

This is exactly how it is and it infuriates me. I am so sick of seeing from the eys of the Humans in everything that Halo release. Halo 2 is the only game that let you see through the eyes of a Sanghelios, Arbiter in this case but that is nowhere near enough. Even that is a bit too Humanish if you know what i mean. I am so insanely sick of Humans that i would be overjoyed if they somehow got wiped out in Halo. Of course that can’t happen and never will but it’s an example to express how i feel. To answer the title of this thread. YES! I don’t want to just see more of Sanghelios, i want to see from their views, from their sides. I want to see everyones side that isn’t from any Humans views
.
That is all we have seen. Through Humans views. It really sucks. We have known everything about the Humans for so many years while it continues to expand but so very little about every other race except from the view from HUMANS. I can’t understand how the majority of the Halo fanbase can love UNSC AKA Humans so much and only care about them. I don’t understand why Humans, the one race it’s always about and the one race we know everything about can interest them all so much than aliens that has played a huge part in the lore and story and has a looooooooooooooooooooong history we know little to nothing about except some things from the views from HUMANS again!
There is still so much we don’t know about The Covenant who has existed since the first game Halo: Combat Evolved which is soon 17 years old at this point! That’s quite pathetic if you ask me. Having a huge alien faction in your universe and never truly show and tell what went on with them and what happens through their eyes. 17 years and never truly show anything that isn’t from the Humans side. It’s really really awful and you really need to repeat “17 years” to yourself to really be able to comprehend how bad this is. By the way for those who wonder. I have read every comic, seen everything Halo has pumped out, listened to several audiobooks, read some and played every game several times through their campaigns. I have delved as deep as possible into the Halo universe so i do indeed know a lot about the universe. Not 100% everything because of memory and such but i definitely know at least 95%. I know everything about the Covenant that has been revealed so far and that is not what i crave for and it’s mostly from the views from HUMANS again and again and again!
I hope this changes and so we can see from the views of anything that isn’t Human and find out what happened and happens from their sides in many time periods. Even before they met the blasted Humans. 17 years though. 17 years… 17 years of only Humans. I very much doubt my hope will be worth it. Not only that but the majority for some reason only being interested in Humans even though we know everything about them. Infuriating indeed.
i think it would be fun to have a campaign based on the covenant side to explore the different worlds and homes of each of the species that make up the united covenant
Several signs indicate Halo 6 will start on Sanghelios. (Likely for just a level or two though).
- They said for a while that Halo 5’s ending would leave us “on Sanghelios’ doorstep”.
- The ending of Halo 5 confirms this, with Fireteam Osiris, Blue Team, the Arbiter, Halsey and Palmer meeting on Sanghelios.
- The Vespin Warthog’s description indicates the UNSC has a semi-permanent presence on Sanghelios post-Halo 5.
(Possible that the UNSC are using Sanghelios as a temporary base of operations since all human colonies were already targeted by Guardians, while they seem to be taking their time with the Covenant worlds.)
Well, as said before, we need the sanghelis point of view, so probably at the begging of halo 6, they might see what Cortana did in a very bad light, and hold the humans accountable, creating some tension. To really add some point of view, they could have the arbiter in one of the fireteams, preferably blue team, to add some character to what the (supposed) leader of the sangheli think, and even add some character to blue team, which we don’t know a lot about.

Yeah, I really am tired of the UNSC/human-centric stories. Even getting “Spartan fatigue”. This is why the only books I am interested in reading are the Forerunner trilogy, Shadow of Intent, and Broken Circle. Parts of The Flood and then Halo 2’s campaign gave a tantalizing taste of Covenant life, society, etc., but I feel it’s never gone beyond that. Even if I hear Sangheilli are prominent in books such as the Kilo V trilogy and Hunters in the Dark…those stories are downright uninteresting to me due to the other characters they focus on, as well as the stories themselves. I don’t feel satisfied, and wouldn’t want to read a book I have zero interest in just to get a little info on Sangheilli.
I thought that Sangheilios was the most visually striking area in the entire series. For that alone, my answer is yes. I think the culture is interesting, but as other posters have stated, they have been well explored, and it is time to move on with the story. By that, I mean, the Sangheili are so well explained and politicized that I think they could use them in very detailed plots without long-winded expositions, they are second nature now. Bungie/343 have nailed this aspect of the series. I think.
I do like the focus on human perspective, but do see what you guys mean about shaking it up. It would be good to see more about the brutes and I personally think the Jackals have a lot of potential.
I think it’s safe to say that halo fractures will be a good sampler platter and whichever readers respond well to will be focused on thereafter.
But again, I like the human perspective. It’s hard for me to get into things like broken circle. I enjoy reading it but to me it’s more like a glossary of tidbits of information that will potentially, maybe fuel the REAL story.
My biggest wish is that things will get more WAR oriented. I love the scifi lore being involved, but I miss the doomsday war aspect. But as most of humanity has been killed off by halo 3, I don’t see how they could really pull it off.

^^ Lol I take it this guy only plays Horde.
But seriously, this isn’t world of Warcraft dude, there is only so much you can do when it comes to a FPS. Halo is about the progression and survival of humanity. We were thrown into a war against a foe who was superior in almost every way and won. We learned from our losses in the war and advanced to become the power in the Galaxy only to yet find ourselves in another war against an enemy it seems like we can’t beat. And I’m sure if we win this war there will be some other enemy who has been out here watching and waiting.
Halo is about humanity even though there are other races we interact with. Just like Mass Effect is about humanity even though there were people who did not want it to be. It will be great if we get some spin off content but the story HAS to be told from the perspective of the humans.
Unless you have millions of dollars to advance technology that will allow us to have a massive Halo game and the staff to make such a game function…
If I had the option I would personally do something more practical. Let us have sub missions that just let you explore area’s such as ships. It would be cool to be able walk the inside of the Infinity and interact with the soldiers. It would also be fun if this is where you unlock things like terminals. See what moral is like on the ship during different parts of the story like in Mass Effect.
Planets to would be a nice addition because like is desired by some in this thread. They could allow us to explore one of the cities in Sanghelios before the mission for example and have little mini games. Like challenging a elite to one of those puzzle games they love or shooting targets.

There was supposed to be a mission between Blue Team and Glassed(the first Meridian level) that was one of those ‘weapons-down’ missions. You could walk around the Infinity and talk to other spartans and marines. (Buck’s line of, “the others, when they hear about this… they’re gonna hate us. You know that, right?” comes to mind.) So yeah, you would’ve gotten to see other marines and spartans’ opinions on the hunt for the master chief.
According to the concept art, it would’ve been SO BIG that it had ‘fast travel terminals’ scattered around.

Agreed, mostly. Though I am really interested in seeing the post-war interactions between these species and humans. For example, in Halo: Last Light, a human colony’s council has a Jiralhanae on it; because they share the planet. And there’s also a version of the Covenant religion that still holds the Forerunners as gods, and this religion accepts humans.
Very interesting, I think. A lot of people don’t like the change from “oppressive aliens against desperate humans”, but I really, really like the change of pace with having this almost Star Trek-like galactic civilization developing.
Absolutely. I’d love to see more of Sangheili life outside of their adult males serving in the military. I’d like to see some civilian life. Or, see a depiction of Sangheili females serving in Thel’s ranks. We just might get the latter in H6.
At the same time, someone that argues we need more of the other ex-Covenant races i.e. the Jiralhanae, I could see that too.
Anything but just more and more and more UNSC. In Star Trek the Federation is your vehicle for viewing the rest of the galaxy, the stories aren’t really supposed to be about the Federation, or at least not the majority of them anyway. The UNSC should be serving the same role in the Halo universe.

Good points.
I also would like to see female Sangheilli depicted, visually, even if there is very little sexual dimorphism. There was just one in H5, right? But she wasn’t shown much?

She wasn’t shown at all. Only her voice was heard.
It’s a shame, really. 343 wouldn’t even need to make any changes to the Sangheili model… they look almost identical.
