I have many ideas for Halo 5, but there is one idea that always sticks in my mind. It's something that's always been overlooked. The history of the SPARTAN IIs. Yes, we read about it in the book "Halo the Fall of Reach" but I wanna see something that actually strikes you right in the chest. I've actually come up with a scenario of my own for this idea. Please give it a read and like this if you think it would be a good idea.
At some point during the campaign, we see a cutscene where John (in complete Mjolnir) Armour and he's basically got a moment to himself. It goes quiet, and some soft strings play. The camera pans towards his golden visor. As the camera flies into his visor, we are taken back in time to when he was a child. He's waking up in this strange place along with 74 other children and big men shouting "Up! Get out of bed! Trainee, get OUT of your bed!" The sounds of those trainers voices echoing through his head.
Then we see him with Sam and Kelly. "I'm Sam, we can be friends if you want, I mean it's no big deal."
Then we see the Spartans training like crazy. Being pushed to the very limit. I want to see them learning how to shoot, stab, kick, punch and survive. I read somewhere that they often had exercise battle contests with Tango Company (A platoon of battle hardened marines) while being at the age of 10 - 14 (And winning).
I think we only need to see defining moments of the Spartan's lives. Moments they never forget. Imagine this as a 3 minute cutscene/flashback that finishes with John waking up after the augmentations being much bigger (and taller) than he was before, and only seeing 32 Spartans remaining. I think that just seeing all those children slowly becoming killing machines would be both fascinating, and saddening. Something Halo does beautifully. I think that that would definitely be a cutscene no Halo fan would ever forget.
