I think, in the same way Halo 4 starts with your ship crashing into a mysterious alien structure as with CE, Halo 5 will begin with us on a major known planet - in Halo 2 this was Earth, and I think in Halo 5 it'll be Sanghelios.I really damn hope so. The aesthetics on that planet supersede Requiem IMO.

Why? A UNSC/Sangheili-atheist invasion in an attempt to kill Jul 'Mdama if it's completely overtaken by the Storm (or Neo-Covenant, whatever,) as alluded to by Spartan Ops' implication that ex-Covenant species are having to seek asylum on Earth - probably those who disagree with the extremist nature of 'Mdama's movement. It's going to happen; they've kept to themselves at Requiem for many years, but after the New Phoenix incident seem to be directly attacking humanity - a Sangheili terrorist nearly blowing up Rio with a HAVOK nuke, for example. It might not be Sanghelios, but either way the campaign's going to start with us taking down the Storm.It'd make sense for the Storm to end in this game. Truth planned out or anticipated much of the events of Halo 2, forcing us to hunt him down in another game. Elites aren't going to do that if they're pressured (and we all know that Jul is under a lot of it: death of his loved ones and discovery of his gods and their utilities). They're going to stand and fight.

If it happens, I imagine Thel will be right at our side. I'd say we should play as him again, but I think his character arc is over and it was finished beautifully - from indoctrinated slave to the liberator of his people, symbolised by the energy sword he stabbed the tyrant who lied to them with.
If we do get a Sangheili campaign in Halo 5, it needs to be from Jul's perspective. I love his character to bits and really want to see his redemption - he needs to be the one to truly kill the Didact.Yes please, I want to play as an Elite again. Hopefully this time, with better equipment (Halo 3 style Cloaking but using it in a vehicle should not alert the enemies) and new ones (i.e. Sangheili point defense gauntlet that lets you use a sword or gun with it).
