Prepare to be dominated, Australian style.
I personally think that we need a little more history.
Bungie is going the right way with Halo: Reach, and I've seen other forums(on bungie.net and other sites) which describe other possibilities, mostly game adaptations of the novels.
However, I have 2 rather decent, well I believe so, possibilities, and I would assure you that I am not the only one with these ideas.
One:
Covenant Civil Wars.
The separation of the Elites to the Covenant during and between Halo 2 and 3 in greater depth. I know that much of this is done during Halo 3, however, a little more emphasis on how it happened, and what happened - Such as in ODST during the Tayari Plaza mission, where you walk past a group of dead Brutes and Elites and Buck makes reference to a battle between the two prior to his arrival - and more battles such as that.
Also, how was the covenant formed? Were there battles, conquering and conscription, such as the Romans did? Was it peaceful? There is no history of the covenant in any of the games. I'd love to play as the Brutes when the Covenant and Elites show up, and try to bring them into the Covenant, and a resulting war, or as the Elites trying to defeat them and bring them into the covenant. Either way, it would be awesome.
New weapons and vehicles could also be included, weapons and vehicles that would seem "outdated" and "obsolete" compared to those in the main trilogy.
Two:
Forerunners.
What were they? How did they live? What did they do? How did they fight the flood? How did they discover the flood? Did they actually create the flood in an attempt to defeat a greater enemy?
I'd like to know more about the forerunners. The main trilogy is over, and there is no need for the mystery anymore. I realise that this could be a vast story, and bungie may not wish to do it, however, I think it would be a great success.
Even if this game was a completely different style to the others, if it was an RPG for instance, it could outline different possibilities of where the flood came from, and why the forerunners had to do what they did to destroy them.
Or it could be another FPS, in which you are trying to destroy the flood without using the rings-of course you would fail in the end, but it could seem like your winning, and have a kickass final cutscene when they are used- or even be a soldier during another war with a greater enemy, which the flood is created for.
Forerunner history would be exciting, new, unique and interesting.
There are many options to go for, in any future games. And of course, lets not miss the obvious of what happens to ol' mate John-117 and Cortana, will it really be how it leads to the Marathon game from way back? Or does he just die? QUESTIONS! SO MANY QUESTIONS! >.<
Point of the story is, there are so many things bungie can do for future halo projects, there are endless options. Don't let us down.
Ps, ODST is pretty damn awesome.
Double Ps, Please Lord, do not give the Halo franchise to 343 Industries. It COULD(yes, I'm saying could, don't jump down my throat) be a major disaster for Halo.
