Halo 5 Trailer Analysis!

[Brett]

Hey guys I did a video on my theory about what happens in the Halo 5 Trailer and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it or your own theories!

I love your theories very well thought of.

 

Now some things to help you along as I'm sure others may mention it later:

 

--when the rocks levitate before the War Sphinx comes out from underneath the sand, it was because MC did not approach it correctly (Halo:Cryptum is were this was referenced)

--the planet in the background does look a lot like the Ark (good point) also the jagged 'rocks' in the background could be pieces of the Ark that have crashed into the planet (maybe?)

--Now the big one: the fact there is a War Sphinx tells me two things; (1) war sphinxes only guard members of the Ecumene (Librarian/Lifeshaper, Didact, or the Master Builder), and (2) the Librarian died on earth in Silentium, the Master Builder died on the Greater Ark in Silentium, and there are only two possibilities; the Ur-Didact (Halo 4) or the Iso-Didact (Bornstellar from the forerunner saga of books).

 

I am super excited as I really want them to bring in Bornstellar because he was my favorite character in the forerunner saga. However, 343 has a mighty big responsibility to get the character right because he was written a certain way and reads a certain way, if they screw him up, there will be an uproar. But, given what they did with Halo 4, I'm not too worried. They did a fantastic job and I think they will continue to do so.

 

----Also, I think the MC goes rogue in this game, bc the UNSC refuses to waste resources looking for Cortana (which may explain why he is wearing broken helmet and missing some of his armour).

 

Nice theories, keep up the good 'thinking' ! Haha
