My theory of what's going to happen started at the beginning when Halsey mentions the thing about "providing the tools to maintain that stability."
I think that what's going to happen is this:
In Halo 5, Master Chief will get a new AI; however, because of what Cortana said during the seventh mission of H4: "you know it's not going to be me right? it'll look like me...," I believe that Master Chief will realize that he doesn't want just any AI, he wants Cortana back.
Realizing that Cortana can never be replaced, Chief will reject his new AI and receive intel from some other source.
However, because his "efficiency" will slowly be declining due to his lack of an AI, he will become weaker or homicidal.
(I honestly don't know which. Spartans are trained killers and due to the massive amounts of testings that were performed on them, they may not be able to stay sane without an AI; however, I do not believe the new Spartans have AI's. But, other Spartans are not the Chief, he is one of a kind so his becoming insane or homicidal could be justified, although only loosely, in this way. There is also the point that he may get depressed leading to inefficiency in combat.)
So that's Chief's breakdown, which will occur in 5. At the end of 5, Chief will receive knowledge of or hear Cortana somehow and realize that he needs to search for her.
Halo 6 will occur with the UNSC not approving of Chief going out searching for Cortana, leading to him going solo without an AI or any other support. This will, in turn, lead to his overall decline until he either finds Cortana or has to make some sort of sacrifice in order to defeat the new enemy.
In 5 and 6 it will be Chief fighting against time and his decline in order to defeat whatever enemy is also searching for Cortana. (Or the enemy already has Cortana and is using her for some nefarious deed. Cortana may even willingly help the enemy because of her breakdown; part of her will resist of course, but the other parts may be evil at their core.)
The end.
