No Sangheili what? I missed something
Pretty sure its a reference to the No Russian mission from MW2

Just like Call of Duty. The story line always sounds amazing and makes me want to play but then it's executed horribly. Hopefully this won't be the case with Halo.

That would be great, but I hope more that they add more variety the missions. The campaign was basically one large grey corridor with Prometheans after the next. The campaign felt so "empty". Hope they do more Mammoth/Pelican like missions and flesh them out more. Say what you want about Reach, but the space mission was fantastic for an FPS.

Agreed on all of the Traviss points. Theres just too much of a history with her in the star wars EU (never read the gears EU but I heard its pretty bad over there as well) for me to ignore.
I wouldn't say the books are offensively bad, but in comparison to the Nylund stuff that came before its just night and day.

FERO made it too easy for Ben. Perhaps she is the leader of whatever insurrectionists from the past?? idk much about the history about the outer colonies but they are singled out now and no one has communication with them since that conference.
It's like Mshak wants to warn him that he is playing with the devil and to be careful for what he wishes for.
What if We escort ben on one of the missions because he gets some critical information about ONI or something more sinister... ahh man so much chaos everywhere!
so goooooooood. MASTER CHEIF WILL SAVE THEM ALL. Not just the humans. EVERYONE. lol jk

Ohh, ok, I was like "Did they say there would be no Sangheili levels?!"
Well, it would be an upshot from the 5-8 hours (if that) shooters are snaking towards. I'd be down for something even longer, so long as it didn't overstay its welcome with long boring segments.

Can you guys imagine for a moment if they give us that Chief peace conference infiltration as the first ever campaign footage, and it ends up looking as chaotic and intense in game as it sounded through the huntthetruth episode?
Heh, I mentioned last week how it would be cool to actually play through that section in Halo 5. It would make for a different kind of gameplay experience for Halo, that's for sure.

You know what? Something just hit me. Clearly if the Chief went in there and seemingly protected the Covenant delegation, it means that some element of the human delegation was likely plotting something terrible against them.
What if the folks who attempted to do something bad to the Cov delegation are the ones pulling Ben's strings in this case? Maybe FERO is apart of that plot that the Chief foiled. Maybe they're angry at the Chief's interference with their plans, and that's why they're currently seeking to not only damage his reputation, but also delay further interference by making him out to appear like a traitor. It's also quite useful for their goals that the UNSC/ONI are even going so far as to dedicate resources to having the Chief hunted and killed.
Halo 5 could actually end up representing a major rise for the more dangerous elements of the insurrection, which was the key reason the Spartan II program was created in the first place. It'd be ironic if at the very moment ONI and the Spartan II program is on the hot seat, and all the decisions made are being heavily criticized by not only inner colony people and Senate leadership, that now just so happens to be exactly the time when you're in need of an organization such as ONI and Spartan IIs such as the Chief.
Halo 5 could finally be the moment the human insurrectionist movement becomes the big, galactic threat that prompted the creation of the Spartan IIs in the first place. If there's one thing that's becoming more clear after Halo 4, it's that humanity is entering a phase where they may be the most powerful beings in the galaxy. Humanity doesn't always have to end up being on the "good" side of things. Maybe it's time for humanity to start threatening humanity and all other forms of existence on much the same scale the covenant did, or that the flood might? But of course it won't be that simple; surely there may be a reemergence of forerunners, precursors or flood that is tossed into the mix as well.

The first bit was my initial thought as well. I thought maybe an assassination of a high ranking Covanant member was planned, and Chief noped that plan.
That kind of thing would fit into ONI thinking. The line in Kilo 5 about kicking a downed enemy in the balls - hard. Plus their messing with Covanant crops and such.
The latter part, yeah that makes sense as well. The Infinity is such a large force multiplier, plus the Covanant can barely cobble things together after losing both the San Shyuum and the Huragok. The field has been cleared for the old problems of humanity to resurface, the insurrection and ONI action against them will reach a boiling point.
Having the SIIs on the Insurrections side would be oh so delicious.

That's for, hopefully, a much different game in the Halo universe.
I also don't really see the chief killing a human being in cold blood once he already has them captured unless there's a damn good reason for doing so, so something tells me that maybe to prevent the person from giving up information, there was maybe some device attached to their physical person that injected a lethal dose of something to kill the person. I greatly doubt the Chief was responsible for that diplomat's death.

As well written as this is, it does highlight how utterly gross and incompetent the Office of Naval Intelligence is.
Power corrupts absolutely, yet none of them have the braincells to use it.

Something tells me that we aren't seeing just how on point ONI is being during this whole thing. Most of what we know and are seeing is being presented mostly, or almost entirely, from Ben's end. Also, aren't there a ton of Covenant capital ships that are nowhere to be found? What if Human insurrectionists got a hold of much of that firepower?

I like this theory. Also it would mean that we would get to fight a new race in H5: Humans...
I was just browsing Halo Waypoint for some stuff, when I came across the Halo 5 page and saw this:
It's a light spoiler for the newest and the next #HuntTheTruth episode:
It's a light spoiler for the newest and the next #HuntTheTruth episode:
The communication outage was not created by ONI it seems, which I already assumed but wasn't too sure of it. It's the anomaly M'Shak was talking about. Flood, Covenant or Forerunner? I would go with Forerunner, since the Halo 5 box art was basically the Forerunner Bird destroying a colony.

I've been wondering: just what are these birds? Are they the "Guardians"? Were they created to be used in times of great turmoil to prevent destruction? Why are they suddenly appearing? And are these constructs really Forerunner?
I don't know if anyone mentioned it before but the construct in the teaser looks a lot different from the one on the cover art.

But why are the Guardians mad?
There's transcripts of every episode here:
http://www.halopedia.org/Hunt_the_Truth#Episode_transcripts
Didact has been awoken, hence why they are apperaring. Didact also said this was only the beginning basically. They look very Forerunner to me and designs change over time.
I could also be very wrong with this, so don't read too much into it.
We will probably find out in Halo: Escalation. lol

What are those things slumped over in the corner..?
MC has never had issues fighting and killing humans before. Heck, the scene where he wipes the floor with those ODSTs is proof enough, not to mention all the other missions where they fought insurrectionists. Personally, I think it's a doppelgänger who perpetrated he embassy massacre, but I would like to see some of these events referenced in the campaign/cinematics. They've done an excellent job on the writing, which is why I hope the integration of all this new EU content with the games is a smoother in H5.That's for, hopefully, a much different game in the Halo universe.

We need brutes in halo 5. More enemy variety is always better in a halo game, for me.
They had issues in past games of course, but this is a chance to make them better. Also it would be an excuse to bring back the Chopper.
Oh, and the Spiker. I am probably the only one who misses that gun haha. It sucked but it looked really cool. I think it would be easy to change its role give it its own place in the sandbox, maybe make it a slower firing but higher powered automatic with headshot capabilities and decent accuracy.

Definitely love how many pieces are in motion here. ONI trying to cover their trail, Agent Locke and crew on a mission to find Chief, Chief with Blue team doing who knows, mysterious forces on the move, outer colony ire.
Will the Didact or other Forerunner beings return? Will the Flood be back or even the Precursors? Will Insurrectionists play a larger role in the game?
So many questions.

Now we must uncover the reason why they used this scene and that location to tie with the Guardians?
Index - Guardians are coming - the key to all answers about the anomalies in the outer colonies?

I'm betting on the Insurrection plus covanant remnant factions (Jul maybe) getting their hands on a Gaurdian and/or other advanced Forerunner tools from the Absolute Record.
Precursors, I feel, is still a very very late game Halo 12 FloodCursorArmageddon thing, they're playing a loooong game with Mendicant Bias alone, and it will be even longer if/when the Precursors directly interact with the modern haloverse.
I do think they're coming, though. Surely the relatively minor Flood outbreak wasn't their only second judgement on Humanity.

Looks nice.
How do some of those buildings still have power?
Hard to tell, but from this angle it looks like the destruction may have stopped at those buildings, we don't know how much more destruction is behind the camera perspective though. Most everything further in the back looks fine or at least less damaged.

Honestly, I'm not even sure that we're looking at a post-devastation scene in that pic; looks more like some kind of industrial operation with a city in the background.
