Subject: I hope this is what happens.

After re-reading the books, I would love to see the game play out from a young John to the Master Chief we know today. Starting from his first day at boot, to the fall of Reach or maybe ending like, as they find the first Halo ring.

It could be possible, and it would be so fun playing as Blue Team cooperatively... Even though it probably won't happen. It seems obvious who's in the banner, so I'm hoping they follow a story kind of similar to this.

If not, I'll still be happy. :) I just really want to see John grow up.

PS- Another option would be to play as a Spartan in the program, but not as John or any of his team. Like a completely unknown Spartan you create, then play through the game, being promoted to squad leader instead of Chief. That would be sweeet:)

Both ideas are good and the part about Blue Team would work well with co-op.

Yeah true... Maybe just random cutscenes from the boot camp and training, and the bone modifications flashbacks/stuff to give an idea of what happened before the Chief became the Chief.

I would like to see the the game open where chief and his spartans are getting augmented with their biological enhancements. And while this happens, you see flash backs leading from the first day of camp, to just before the augmentations. Then he blacks out or something and then it flashes to him being fitted into his MJOLNIR armor. You take over and see the chief out. Then your back on harvest with some of the other spartans, when things start going bad with temperal disruption in the atmosphere, and then Hell on from there. Like ODST you would switch between the chief and his spartans back on harvest. Then, one final huge battle before the spartans go under ground and follow the rest from there. And the idea of seeing the chief go to the Pillar of Autumn and find Halo.

I believe this would be a very good representation on how he came to be the way he was but I don't think that it would allow for a really solid storyline that can be easily followed with all of the flash backs. I do like the idea of the flashbacks in the beginning though. The flashbacks could be very helpful to those who did not read the books and would allow a better look and visual representation for those that did.

The only problem with all these theories is that I'm not sure Bungie is too keen on revealing John 117's face and identity yet... but if they are, cheers :D

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

Although that sounds awesome, I would much prefer if Bungie got there own IP so they no longer had to answer to evil Microsoft.
