Subject: Some Thoughts on Halo 5 (Contains Spoilers)

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

I have finally gotten around to finishing Halo: Primordium. I haven't finished it entirely yet, but while reading something popped out at me. Some humans in the books are imprinted with a Geas, which is essentially a control mechanism the Forerunners use over them. However, others were given the memories of ancient humans that basically "live" inside of their head. They are able to take control of the host body and speak through them if allowed or if they are strong enough to break the hosts control. Otherwise they just live and can communicate with the host.

Master Chief was imprinted with an "evolutionary upgrade" in Halo 4 by the Librarian. It is entirely possible that he has a currently dormant ancient human living inside of him now. If this is the case it would help to fill the void of Cortana and to explain her death a little better, because lets be honest having 3 voices living in one person would be awful and annoying. So if this is the case I believe Halo 5 will be based around this ancient human awakening and either helping or trying to gain control of the Master Chief.

What are your thoughts on this? It seems very feasible to me, as 343i has not really explained what the Librarian did to Chief. We only know it will help him defeat the Didact. The ancient humans would have beat back the Forerunners had they not been fighting a two front war. They also hold the secrets to defeating the Flood, and now if it were one of the ancients from the books they have knowledge of every Forerunner battle plan and installation location.

I personally think it would be an interesting twist, especially seeing the all powerful Chief fighting an internal battle for control of himself. What are your thoughts on this Flood?

What if...


...Chief has the Didact's geas?

Per Audacia Ad Astra

Cortana probably lives within Chief.

Hmm..Yeah that's a possibility too, though it would kind of destroy 343i's whole broken Master Chief plot. Having this new mind who he can't ignore would be interesting to say the least.

Major props to my hommie Sheeef. He made Recon possible for me. Long time recovering emails and passwords. And it was his. lol.

How can there be spoilers to a game that hasn't been even really made? Especially with NO release of ANYTHING on it?
Just saying.

Here's what I think might happen. Halo 5... eehhh you probably won't see much of, if at all, the Didact. The Flood MIGHT return in Halo 5. Not too much to say about H5. BUT HALO 6. Ok. Didact shows up. The Flood shows up. Didact sides with humanity to defeat Flood. Prometheans fight with you/marines and maybe turn back into their original state of human. (since it was said they were once humans)

END!

Then Halo 7-9 comes about with Destiny.

Maybe because I mentioned Cortana dying? Just a thought champ.

I was going to write a response, but it literally looks like you came and posted without reading anything in the OP.

Wake me when the jews are gone.

I normaly disagree with but this is a pretty interesting concept and if 343 could manage it it could become a very good story.

  • 12.04.2012 12:36 PM PDT

Bones of my enemies.

What if....





....Master Chief is Master Chief's geas? Like the helmet within a helmet thing in CE.

Exactly, especially since they haven't touched on what exactly was done to Chief in the first place. It also seems like the only logical reason they would kill off Cortana, a need in the story to replace her.

  • 12.04.2012 12:41 PM PDT

$20 343 is going bring Cortana back in the most generic way possible and make her melons about 500% bigger for no reason.

Halsey could be controlled by a geas. She even selected Chief, so he could have a geas too.
All the Spartans could be a geas.

Everyone has a geas.

Didn't the didact get... uh... nuked?

No.

OT: Nice thinking, OP. That would make a great storyline.

that's funny, because I distinctly remember him being there when chief pushed the button. unless I missed something?

Clearly you watched the wrong ending.

He fell through the slipspace event below the composer.

This, they haven't confirmed or denied he is dead. I hope they don't pull a Star Wars and have a new antagonist every game. That would get old real fast.

That sounds pretty awesome. I have yet to read any of the new novels and hopefully I can get around to doing that soon.

Yeah, first i was thinking that they would replace her with a new AI to show how he would cope with something new and being out of his comfort zone, but not only does your theory makes more sense, it's also better!

If you get a chance to talk to K-Mart, tell him Mabian misses him...

He won't remember me, but it's always nice to let a complete stranger on the internet know that you care.

Sir I can't help but get the sense that you don't want to really talk about this, you want to "nail" me.

Captain Price will be his new companion.

I highly doubt he has a ancient human geas. If anything i'd say he has bornstellars geas and he has to essentially become bornstellar to stop the flood/precursor test.
