Halsy is on the infinity? Guess who we will meet in Halo 4, 5, or 6.


We'll probably meet Halsey in the new trilogy eventually, but by the time Thursday War ends she's no longer on board the Infinity.

I r guy who gun to teach u lesson

The Book is pointless. I mean, I enjoy the read, but:


Why is ONI trying to cause a Civil War if the Infinity could wipe out the entire Elite race by itself.

In-fact, even if they wanted to preserve some Elites, why leave the rebels alive? If they killed The Storm, that's half of the Elite problem gone without the Arbiter saying anything.

The biggest plot point, getting the Elites to fight themselves, is pointless.

I have not read the ending yet, so I'm hoping this is explained.

The UNSC doesn't have the resources to decisively win a war with the Elites so soon after the Covenant war's end.

Having the Elites fighting themselves buys the UNSC time to rebuild while weakening the Elite's overall strength.

That strategy was entailed in Glasslands, and Thursday War is the continuation of that plan.

Wait so I've been gone from the party for a while; what happened to the Forerunner trilogy, and who is Jul? Time to brush up on my HaloWikia again...

The Forerunner Saga is still ongoing. The last installment, Silentium, will be released in January due to heavy spoilers to Halo 4 in the book.

Jul 'Mdama is a Sangheilli Shipmaster, who becomes the leader of The Storm (Covenant that we fight in Halo 4).

[spoilers below]
The Storm show up at Requiem to revive the Didact from his sleep, and knowing that the Didact "despises" Humans, Jul wishes to enlist the aid of the Didact to wipe out Humanity as vengeance for his wife's untimely death.

Here is a prologue terminal from Halo 4 which visually features Jul for the first time: link

Ah, thanks!
