Well we know Cortana is gonna go nuts and were going to end up with something like Durandal all over again...can see it all too much as she ages. Will it happen near the end of Halo2? we don't know yet, we can but guess.
As for Ackerson hmmm, he's a rat. Joining the Covie? naww, can't see them taking him. Now joining up with Guilty Spark hmmm, Sparky sure knows how to play to people, and offering Ackerson a "weapon to remove the Covenant" can just see him running along trying to be Mr Hero type and save the world, only to end up putting us in even more trouble. Really don't trust the guy, that and he has his secret project which competed with the Spartan2s that we still know nothing about. Whatever it is, its bound to screw up and come back at us.
The Covenant hmm, thats a wierd one. The Grunts would rebel just as they hate the Jackals, hate the Elites, hate everyone. As long as they have a nice cozy place to sleep with lots of food and methan they are running along pleased with the world. Jackals hate the Grunts and follow orders but don't always agree with the Elites, always some tension there. The Elites are odd, they are followers of the Prophets but really they do feel they can do better than them sometimes as a Prophet puts the will of the Gods first, over the Elites strength through force and conflict mantality. Hunters will follow the Elites due to there ability as tacticians but hate everything else and really don't mind flattening anything else if its in there way. Brutes are the religious protectors really. Alot more strict to the Prophets. I could see the Elites and Hunters leaving the Covenant if say some kind of peace was made, the Elites would go nuts at the Prophets for not finishing the job as it was so insanely tactically unsound. Like in the Flood when Zam had to face the Prophets, he hated having to follow the orders but did it as it was the thing they do. There is alot of tension there, and if the Prophets made a hugely bad move in the face of the Elites they would go nuts. Will it happen though? doubtful really till we do find out. Has to be a reason though to start it, as without a good reason they wouldnt do it.
And then there is Dr Halsey. Where did she go with Kelly? Could she betray us? *shrug* I can't see it but who knows. Maybe she does something seen by UNSC as betrayal and we're sent to stop her, maybe she is seeing the larger picture and doing it for the best, maybe we actually fail in our task for once and she wins....could be open for alot of twists with Halsey.
But will we be betrayed? undoubtably. It happens as a keystone in every Bungie game. The betrayals in Myth, Soulblightler, and the Marathons. Maybe we've come to expect them and there isn't one, but I do doubt that.
